As a type 2 diabetic for over 20 years my most profound realization about the medical profession is their total lack of understanding of nutrition. I proved this to a point that my doctor quit her practice to go back to school to specialize in Diabetes. It took me years of trial, error and an understanding nutrition and portions, losing 150 pounds, walking 2 miles a day and getting my a1c from over 11 to 6.5 and being taken off ALL my diabetes meds, the results are undeniable.

i wanted to put this to the test. i woke up and had 123 on my blood glucose. i exercised, showered, had 3 scrambled eggs (with sliced tomato, jalapeño and onion) with avocado and a small corn tortilla. i waited 2 hours, took my blood sugar test again and it dropped to 90. i’m so shocked. i’ve never had it anywhere below 109. thank you so much.

When I was diagnosed type 2 5 yrs ago, was surprised my dietician said eat as much eggs, bacon and red meat I wanted. For years we heard these foods were bad. Avoiding carbs (esp sugar products) eating right, snacking on nuts, losing 10 lbs, and daily exercise dropped my A1c from 12 to 5.6 in 3 months with NO insulin.

I never eat breakfast. I get up at 6:30 and get my daughter ready for school. After she’s dropped off and I get home around 8:30 I drink my coffee. I will eat eggs for lunch With a side of meat round 12:30-1:00. I gotten slack from my doctors my whole life telling me I am very unhealthy for a diabetic. I come back with my A1C is 5.8 with level sugars 🤷🏻‍♀️ must be doing something right!

I just ate three eggs, 3 bacon strips, 1 whole avocado and glass of water. My blood sugar was 126, 123, and 118. Thank you, this information is fantastic. God bless you.

I was recently diagnosed with type 2. My Blood sugar was between 300 and 500. I followed this diet and now it is between 109 and 165. Thank you! Love

Dr. Berry, I started listening to you over the winter. While I am now FULL CARNIVORE, I started in February with getting sugar out of my diet. At 57, I had been wearing bifocals for several years, and last years eye exam was my worst. Eyesight was 20/50, and 20/60. I was completely dependent on glasses for every task. After quitting sugar in February 2023, I felt like my eyes were getting better. By mid summer I was not wearing glasses at all. So I made an eye exam appointment for last week. My eyesight is now 20/20, 20/25. The doctor was absolutely amazed, never seen improvement like that. The office was all a buzz. I told her about you, Kelly Hogan, and Dr. Chaffee, and getting sugar out of my diet. If my eyes healed up without sugar, what else may have gotten a foothold in my body that will now heal on the carnivore diet. I am down 17 pounds and I feel fantastic!

I've had half a dozen Dr.'s tell me how bad my type 2 diabetes is, acting as if I set out in life to be that way, no info, no tips, like they don't know much or don't care enough to explain what I should really do, I hate metformin, I struggle to eat properly due to low income, all of this has been so uninformed and frustrating that I have seen it all from getting healthier to not caring and now hearing you explain how it works and where my food intake is the culprit, I have a new point of view to go at this problem again with renewed hope thank you good Dr.😁

So refreshing to hear someone publicly admit they were wrong & correct themselves .. thank you!!

[robertdecuir]

I tried to go without breakfast and went for a walk only to return and be without energy for the remainder of the day. For me, going without breakfast is courting disaster. Thank you for all the other breakfast ideas!!!

[livehealthyfinishstrong]

I had amazing results eating the way you advise. There are so many opposing views about what a T2D should eat, BUT the advice you gave to closely monitor your own blood glucose after eating is the BEST way to learn the truth. I did this and reduced my HbA1c from 9.9 to 4.9, WITHOUT MEDICATION. I did this at age 62, now 3 years later at age 65, still doing great!

Recently been diagnosed with type 2 a1c was 10. Coming from a lifetime of iced coffees, Potatoes, chips and pasta and sweets with milk almost every night to this I'm excited for the weight loss and the chance to reverse this.

As of Jan 5, 2023, I’m cutting out all breads and sugar including my beloved, Splenda. I’m fasting into 12pm (no breakfast), drinking only water or warm black tea. Gonna stock up on blueberries. I’m starting a low impact exercise regimen. The plan is to drop for 185lbs to 175lbs in four weeks. I’m 5’ 9”. Wish me luck.

I don't usually say anything about these videos, but out of all others, Dr. Berry is an excellent speaker with a perfect tone of voice, communication skills and true sincerity. And he certainly confirmed my thoughts about good and bad food. So thank you sir.

[lisaquigley-moon]

I’ve been sharing your videos to all my family. My oldest brother & myself are the only ones who are being careful. I’ve lost 15 & he was already trim. He is just modifying his already great diet. I have my blood sugar down to 113 this morning. It is the lowest since I was diagnosed a few years ago. We appreciate you

[janicedaniel]

Since I started fasting and eat the things you said my blood sugar gone from 120 to 81. Got my results about two weeks ago and my A1C is 7.20. My sis die four years ago from diabetes, She had all kind of complications. I don't want to ever go through what she when through.
Thank God found you. May God continue to bless and and keep you in good health 🙏

A doctor in truest sense... This is true public service... May God bless you and your family

I just have just finished my breakfast. I ate 2 eggs (from my own chickens) 1 avocado, 1 slice of steak, 1 bacon and rice for breakfast. I do a very physical job so I feel I need the rice. I stop eating by 2pm until the next day. I feel so much better for doing this and lost a stone this year already.
