This doctor changed my life. I was 11.9 A1C. Took this man's advice. Lost 52 pounds. I have had an A1C of 6.5 for the last 2 years. I'm still losing weight. No more insulin injections. No more diabetic drugs. Thank you, Dr. Fung.

[mushken]

was diagnosed diabebetes last week at 250lbs. I am determined to reverse this disease no matter what it takes since day one i have ner touched any carbohydrates or sugars in my mouth . I have gone immediately into diabetes diet and walking an hour everry day and exercising . I must defeat this disease by doing anything that is required. I am only 57 yrs old and I need my life back

[ramonmuniz]

This man is so correct, I am in a whole plant base lifestyle for many years now, but I completely agree with what he is saying. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 38 years old and took medication for 10 years. According to my doctor, I needed to be on medication for the rest of my life, but I started to do my own research, and with a lot trial and error I was able to reverse diabetes and many other issues for that matter. I took my last medication on February 19 2007 and as today I am diabetes free. I don’t eat any processed foods, oils or store bought bread. My wife makes a bread with oats, flax and psyllium husk and that’s the only bread I eat. My last meal of the day is at 5pm and don’t eat breakfast. So I do 18, 20 almost every day. I do a 24 hours fast once in a while. I am 65 years old 5’ 11 and weight 150 pounds. My A1c is 5.2 and feel better now than I did when I was 30. I exercise 6 days a week. I know there is a big fight in the social media about different diets and lifestyles, but I say, take the best that is scientifically proven and apply it to your life and situation.

I reversed type 2 by ommitng all grains, processed food and sugar, I also have only 1 meal at tea time, intermitting fasting, I've lost loads of weight and feel great.

[willm]

I’m pretty sure this is the only doctor we need to listen to.

[neilgoldsmith]

I have Type 2 diabetes. My AIC was 11.2. I was insulin resistant with inflammation. Sugar was poison to me. Gave up almost all Carbs. No bread. No added Sugar, no grains, !any starch except Sugar just Pasta. Good omega 3 fat . Metformin and calories restriction. I am now burning fat instead of sugar. AIC is now5.7. Thanks for getting the word out. Lost 85 lbs.

[MrHellgate]

When I try to tell people that eggs, fat, meat is good for your health, they think I'm crazy. The society (government) jammed this idea into our heads for decades and it's hard to wake up from this matrix

[janetlance]

I agree 100%. I follow a Carnivore lifestyle. In five months I lost over 40 lbs, taken off my diabetic meds. Removed brain fog while gaining tons of energy. Even my stage 3b kidney failure has improved. Do your own research for yourself. I will never eat any other way. ❤

[gulee]

Dr Fung saved my life and his books are simple to read and I quit sugar and eat one meal a day after reading his books two years ago. Now I am still Omad, no sugar, once in a while, I have lunch, ice cream and dessert with my daughter or friends. No cravings, normal a1c, more energy, more mental clarity, better sleep, more happiness!

[PeterR]

My fifth year without diabetes. 2 things: low carb/high fat (KETO) diet + 17 hours fasting daily.

[DDlyfe]

This interviewer is masterful and one of the best I have ever seen. Not one single interruption while Dr. Fung spoke. Most interviewers want to display their little knowledge so they interrupt when the interviewee is saying something important. Interviewer is also very knowledgeable and intuitive as he asked almost every question that was in my mind. The only thing he missed was getting a list of specific foods recommended by Dr. Fung

[marshapaulson]

I followed Dr Fung and took my A1c from 10.4 on July 27th, 2022, to 5.5 on November 14. I also lost 35 lbs. He is a true, literal, lifesaver 💗

[Anna]

DR, FUNG, YOU ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE, ONE IN A TRILLION. SIMPLY AWESOME, AMAZING

[SandraCarteratHomeinNC]

I agree 100%. I have had diabetes for 24 years. I was taking 54 units of Lantus daily and 4-12 units of Novalog daily plus Metformin daily. In Nov. 2022, I started a low carb <30 net carbs per day and started the 14-10 fasting everyday, sometimes 16-8. I have already lost weight and my insulin has been reduced to 20 units of Lantus, 4-8 units Novalog. I AM REVERSING IT and hope to be completely off the meds this year. Thank God for science and great doctors that have stopped pushing the "healthy" eating of breads/cereals, low fat and vegetable oils. The nutritional lies of the 1970's-1990's has stuck with us for 40+ years. It has been killing us. We were always hungry, kept gaining weight and every year needing more and more medications. I went from a normal 18 year old, of 135 pounds up to 213 pounds by the time I was 35 by following the USDA guidelines. Ugh. I am now age 57 and 160 pounds and still losing it. Feeling so much better.

[tonystonebraker]

I was 343 in April 2022. Today at 245. All from whole food, eliminating sugar and fasting. Understanding what insulin did made a huge difference for me.

[gullamahmedkhanishtiaq]

One of the best videos ever I watch on YouTube regarding diabetes. Couple of years ago I was diagnosed diabetic type 2, my fasting sugar levels were 250 and PPBS around 450, doctor prescribed glycomet gp1 twice a day for about one month I tried it and I started feeling very low after taking the tablet, sugar levels drops below 70, told to doctor about my condition he advised me to keep eating every 2hrs, which was not possible for me, then I started searching remedies on YouTube to control blood sugar levels spikes, there I came to know about carbohydrates are culprits, then I stopped eating sugar and all high carb foods and started eating chicken mutton beef eggs cheese butter fruits and vegetables. Now my blood sugar levels are 110 fasting and around 150 PPBS. Now I eat only when I feel hungry. Stopped medicine started meditation.

[gwendolynfish]

Dr Jason Fung is a life saver. What a fantastic healer to have in our corner!

[stechriswillgil]

Very clear and informative biology lesson. My takeaway from all these videos from various sources is that diabetes is a form of ' food jail ' where innocent victims are condemned to a life sentence of metabolic hell. The food industry should be faced with a huge class action law suit for the hidden sugar in food. They should be made to pay the medical bills of diabetic induced illnesses like sight deterioration, heart surgery, renal therapy etc. Then make it LAW to stop government subsidies for sugar industry.

I started intermittent facing 16:8, but got where I wasn't hungry and raised it to 20 and 22 hours. It definitely worked for me.
