When my legs started aching I went keto immediately. I was eating my emotions. Rough year but I’m not letting sugar win. 2 months keto type 2 diabetes reversed!

My brother whom was t2dm, went blind in the last weeks of his life. I saw what this disease did to him and it is no joke. He was a partial foot amputee, kidney failure and congestive heart failure and he passed of a massive seizure. It's a horrible disease. If you have it, please take care of yourself and follow to the tee all medical advice from your physician.

[mariseshawcross]

Thank you so much for this. I’m type 2 diabetic & ALL these symptoms I’ve been blaming for other things, now I know their all related to my diabetes & nothing else. I just wish my Doctor had sat me down & explained what this man has just done in a very short space of time.

The first thing to do is take care of your liver..because before the pancreas release insulin, the liver can do it first..so have healthy liver and healthy diet.

One thing that really frustrates me about the subject of Diabetes is, how many people out there aren't aware of, & don't even believe, either. That there is such a thing as TYPE 1.5 also. 1.5 is what my maternal grandmother had years ago before she died in 1991 at 72 yrs old. I've called the Diabetes Association & told them about my grandma having this & that I'd certainly appreciate it if they would start advertising this Type of Diabetes also. So far, no luck. Just like those who have 1 or 2 alone, Type 1.5 is just as dangerous too if & when it isn't found or treated, either.

For those who aren't aware of what Type 1.5 is, The most straightforward description I can give is this. You have just as much symptoms of Type 1 as you do Type 2 Diabetes. You can wake up extremely low & fall asleep with it dangerously high. It reminds me of myself & my grandma whom when we both started in our early years having thyroid problems. We would go from hyper one week & be skinny like a rake to hypo the following week & have actually gained 50 or more pounds without ever eating differently, more or less, changing exercise routines, etc... Our metabolism in our bodies changed that much & that quickly too. No joke, all fact.

When my grandma got older & started having diabetes symptoms, they had a hard time determining if she was 1 or 2 & that's because she had both. She had just as much of Type 1's symptoms as she did Type 2's symptoms. She was 50% of each. Back then, they didn't know much about how to treat someone with both where I live. So, grandma ended up with Gangrene, amongst many other issues too as a result of untreated thyroid problems, etc...

I really would appreciate it if doctors out there would make videos like this one about people like my late grandma who had Type 1.5 Diabetes. It really needs to be advertised & put out there because, there could be many people out there who are unaware that they are like my grandma was & a friend of mine who is now in her 50s with it also. More people need to become aware of this issue too, if we want all people to be treated fairly, & for their bodies to be able to fight & be given a fair chance at life too. So please. Would you mind doing a video that explains to all people possible that my grandma's problem was & is a real problem & not some story that I made up as may people think? Too many people even medical professionals don't believe that this problem exists. Thank you very much for your time & help in this matter. It's greatly appreciated by us all. Take care.

I really enjoy these videos as a massage therapist. So keep coming up with more about different conditions. They are easy to follow and understand so when I work with clients if they come in with a condition you make a video about I can watch it before I work with them to see what I need to ask before continuing the session.

[krileban]

Very easy to follow! Thank you for yet another great video!

My journey with diabetes was a marathon that spanned well over a decade. Each day was a struggle, and I experimented with various treatments, diets, and regimens, searching for that elusive cure. It was disheartening and exhausting. But then, a ray of hop

[kimsordyl]

Love these short, informative and concise vids 😁

Hey! I’m a 12 year old female. I am worried I might have pre-diabetes, or diabetes itself. My whole life, I’ve eaten unhealthy. Because I’ve never gained weight ever before, I never was able to keep track of what I was eating, by the motivation of weight loss. Every time I think about the fact I might have diabetes, I go into a panic. It leaves a sick feeling in my stomach, I’m just very scared I might have it. My parents aren’t the best help, whenever I try eating healthy they act like it’s the most shocking thing they’ve ever seen, and make a huge deal about it. Like even if I just order a water instead of a soda, they are like “Really? Water, are you sure?”, and it really makes me self conscious and embarrassed about it. They make it so awkward. My father thinks you can only get diabetes if you are overweight. That’s completely bogus. And my mother is always eating unhealthy. She’s been told by her doctors that she may become a diabetic in the near future, but it doesn’t change the way she wants to eat. And it’s not being a great role model for me. The past few weeks I’ve been trying to eat nothing but beneficial foods, but because of my whole family and how they eat, there is almost NO healthy food in our household whatsoever. Maybe an egg, banana, or a few pistachios, but I want variety. I don’t want to eat the SAME exact thing, over and over. I’ve tried getting them to get more healthy things at the store, but they only seem to buy these things for me, and in bulk. I am a 12 year older girl, and I don’t eat a lot. So when they do get beneficial food for me and they say “I’ll get this for you, but you better eat it. Food isn’t free, so don’t let it go bad.” And get food in bulk, it puts a lot of pressure on me. I feel like I almost have to force myself to eat these things because there’s always so much of it. It’s like they almost guilt trip me into finishing what I “made” them buy for me, even though it is for my own benefit. They always tell me to eat healthier, but they eat just as bad as me, if not worse. I’m not asking anyone to do anything for me, but I just wanted to ask for any advice at all. I want to eat healthy, but I don’t have a lot of options to actually consume. If anyone could help in anyway at all, it would be greatly appreciated. I’m scared for my future and how, IF my body is even going to develop healthy. Thank you. <3

fasting is the best way to reverse it. force yourself to not eat for a day you will see good results. I also had an underactive thyroid because the slightest temperature change and i felt cold and always tired

[wallyhuman]

3x carrots
1x apple
1x beetroot peeled
1x cucumber (cut about a 5cm piece)
Then juice everything

Add dill to the mix, i'm not a doctor but this remedy helps with diabetes. Try and see the effect please do test daily to monitor your sugar levels

[StaggersonJagz]

Wow. I knew I had a lot of symptoms, but you named symptoms I didn't know about, that I have. Increased infections and weight loss, for example.

[sassygirl]

A lot of these symptoms can also be related to other issues and does not mean for sure you have diabetes. Some of those symptoms for example I myself experience due to MS. Like the "pins and needles" kinda feeling and the low energy just to name a few...
