I've learned so much, since being diagnosed with prediabetes. And at 65, I wanted to live a little longer. And these types of videos, are invaluable. Keep them up, I need all the help I can being educated, by nonbiased individuals. Thank you. 😊

It is almost 2.5 years that I mapped out potatoes along with all high carb foods, my only occasional carbs are sweet potatoes and bulgar wheat. My diabetes including retinopathy, skin tags, joint inflammation, gut inflammation, arthritis and cravings for sugar have all been reversed. I am living a pain free life on zero medication just low carb diet and given the opportunity i will not eat potatoes, sugar, pasta and any processed foods. Whole food is medicine! 🇬🇧Greetings and massive thanks to Dr Ergin.

My father, who lived to age 98 with diabetes diagnosed in his 40's. He was the poster child on how to live a fulfilling, long life with diabetes. He found that eating a small red potato, cooked in the microwave for dinner did not raise his blood sugar.

I boil my potatoes with the skins the day before then put them in the fridge until I need them. I always leave the skins on when I finally use them. A glucose check after the meal indicates only a moderated increase in glucose level. Apparently, this was known in the past as I can remember my grandmother advising that you should always wash the pasta in cold water because it "breaks the starch".

[PeaknikMicki]

Didn't know about the microwave cooking but one thing I;ve heard is that it's best to cook the potatos twice. i.e cook them, cool down, keep a night or so in fridge and then heat them up again. That's one way of turning starch in to resistant starch (if I remember it right)

I have had type 2 for 10 years with ups and downs mostly stubbornness this past year i had a ambulance visit over my sugar after that i got serious and started looking up everything and found these videos and started taking your berberine with alot of success i went from a 250 to a 99 and still working on it making it better diet is the hardest because it is more of a life style change THANK YOU for all your video's they have helped me alot

I have microwaved my small potatoes for years before eating one with eggs. Unknowingly I have been doing something right. Hurrah.

[dorothyreese]

I just love the Sugar MD he has really given me the best medical information ever. I'm a RN but I knew about diabetes because of being a RN. But with having all of my nursing experience I was lost when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I went to nutrition classes and started this every day regiment and it worked very well for me. I have reversed my type 2 diabetes and I feel great. Thanks to Sugar MD

I was recentlly diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I immediately gave up the two things I loved, bread and sweets, and my blood glucose levels have dropped to the good to excellent levels. However, I'm always looking for more options and I appreciate the information you come the spuds!

[briansodke]

I'm a first-time viewer but I was greatly impressed about the freezing the potatoes and then putting them in the microwave. I've been mic waving potatoes for years but now I'm going to freeze them a bag full I'm 63 and worried about diabetes My younger brother is pre-diabetic so I'm going to pass this on to him too. oh and I just subscribe.🙏

[animtorfiddler]

Fascinating explanation.
Thank you for the information, I'll try freezing some raw potatoes right away. Most convenient method would be to cut the spuds into chunks (after rinsing) to freeze them. This would make defrosting much easier.
Think I'll go have a microwaved potato right NOW.

Dr. Sugar MD, you are always so informative and fascinating to listen to. You also present the technical detail in a very easy-to-understand way, which is greatly appreciated by the viewers.

I experimented already with this method. It might work for somebody else, but not quite for me. People need to check their bg for a realistic effect on their body and then decide if it is doable for them. I eat half of a potato every once in a while, but I fill it with meat cheese and cream. This way it does not affect me too much. Better than the resistant starch method.

[robertbaker]

I saw this earlier and am constantly amazed of all the things we learn. I have no excuse now to make potato salad! I knew that these starches and sugars are not healthy for us but I let myself stay stressed and was eating really bad. I waa pre-diabetic and started eating right and have now lost 35 lbs. My hand and feet quit hurting and my BP is right with taking a small dose as needed. Hope to ditch the med soon !

I've been microwaving potatoes for putting in soups and chowders for years. I found that they hold up better in the soup instead of them crumbling. I've also found that I don't have to "cook" my soups as much if I steam the veggies and microwave the potato chunks. The broth picks up all the flavors just fine from them mingling overnight in the fridge.

[greatsewing]

Great video: How i make potatoes. I scrub, cube them, saran wrap them on a plate and micro-wave them for 5-6 minutes. A drop of salt and a dab of butter and then mash with the end of a fork. Bliss. But I will try to freeze before and see how that works. I am down from 240 to 160 in 4 years since my triple bypass 7 years ago.

I have been doing this for years not in order to cut down on starch but to cut down on cooking time for baked potatoes, baked sweet potatoes. I would microwave them halfway then transfer them to the oven so they could bake faster. I did this because the baked ones taste better than the fully microwaved ones. I never thought about microwaving before air frying may see how that goes. Love your humor, Sugar MD!!!!

[kwright]

What about roasting potatoes even after putting them in the fridge because most people love it and prefer it that way? Microwaving potatoes gives it a not quite so satisfying taste as roasting. Roast potatoes and jacket potatoes done in the oven are delicious. Although I don’t eat potatoes, carbs, sugars etc but would be nice to know so can incorporate back into my diet once in a while. Oh, I’m not diabetic I have systemic sclerosis and winning the battle now as I’m conscientious of what I eat.😊❤

New subscriber. I recently learned about putting cooked rice in the refrigerator overnight to change the glycemic properties of the starches. I happened to run into an older diabetic woman in a grocery store line and told her about the rice. She was very thankful for that information. Sharing this now too. Thanks you.
