I was on low carb diet for a few month but when I ate carbs again it was too powerful for the insulin and sugar went very high. Anyone else experience this?

I went super low carb and high fat and my insulin sensitivity was drastically improved and I lost alot of fat. Weird

[nimipersad]

Hi. So kindly share how else can we keep ours sugars do low carb because its all that s helping me keep mu numbers down. I m type 2 diabetic.

I found that low carb DID improve my insulin sensitivity slightly as shown by OGTT results. However, I think that just shows that results can be variable and if anyone tries low-carb, they need to look at results to determine if it is working for them.

35 year old T2D here, low carb and gym workouts normalized my HB1AC, from 7.9 to 5.0-5.2, i also check free style libre my after meal blood sugar is 180. . .

What WILL improve insulin sensitivity? My guess is cardio within your fat-burning range, some very limited intense activity like sprinting (everyone should try this; it’s fun and rewarding to observe that you are not only generating human growth hormone, but learning to run much faster!) and lots of resistance work. That’s what I’ve chosen and the usefulness of each unit of insulin has risen in my case. I use far less because 1) I eat very few carbs and because 2) I’ve rid myself of a bunch of visceral fat and I’ve built up a lot of muscle in my body that I’ve never before had. But I’m listening to hear what will be your recommendation. Thank you. So nice to listen to a fellow diabetic to whom nothing needs to be explained!❤

I make a small amount of insulin and I manage my t1 with the carnivore/ketovore diet and mild occasional vodka/whiskey(my bs is usually between 85-100). Do you have videos explaining just why keto made you insulin resistant???

I eat lot of protein, moderate amount of fats and carbs and do heavy workout each day. I am just getting better.

[nealhauser]

Thank u. Exactly what I say to the Dr. Y doesn’t anyone else seem to understand this problem?

[j.fnorfleet]

You made no mention what kind of fat you ate how much and when. This is a dynamic topic and you are only pointing at carbs. Are you counting fiber as a carb? If so whats the split?

[nostromo]

So... um... we're screwed. I'm type 2, normal weight, very active and stronger than most of the farm boys around here. And still people tend to blame me for being sick. Eat me.

Something I have thought a great deal about lately is that with the emphasis on a low carb, high protein is the long term effect on the kidneys which is a major concern for diabetics?
When I first became diabetic over 40 years ago, one was asked to avoid protein because of complications to kidneys?

[karinak]

I think maybe that just means one can become more sensitive to carbs if they eat less of them?

[mpoharper]

Low carbs all the time allows you to need less insulin. My fasting insulin is the way I know I am insulin sensitive. My glucose levels stay flat.

[ChristianCorpuz]

When making video you should also explain why.

[devnull]

... So how do you increase insulin sensitivity if carbs are already spiking your blood and going low carb apparently doesn't help insulin sensitivity?

[rosagarcia]

My 7 year old nice was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I am scared for her. Do you have a good advice?

[leeseflaherty]

Respectfully, then what do I do next. High fat low carb. Type 2. Lost weigh (not all extra weight) off meds. HA1C now 5.2. How do I “mix it up” and not lose control of carbs & BS again? Thanks

[maxineadderley]

IF is what got rid of insulin resistance along with low carb

[xxmoathxx]

But if one eats less carbs, they will likely lose weight, and this may very much lower insulin resistance
