I think people make this way too complicated. I don't take any doctor prescribed medication. I was diagnosed in November of 2022 at 10.4 A1C. I weighed 250 pounds. This was during my 13 day hospitalization for viral pneumonia (a.k.a. COVID 19) at that time.

I'm currently (May 30, 2024) at 6.8 A1C and 221 pounds. Yes I take a fistful of supplements which you can research on YouTube.

The "hacks" I've found that are working for me are intermittent fasting, no snacking during the fast, and walking immediately after your main "break fast" meal. Walking kills two birds with one stone. Walking for just 10 minutes (minimum) immediately lowers your glucose by 20%. Longer walks can result in even lower glucose levels.

But walk also builds muscle mass. You don't have to lose weight quickly because weight is not necessarily the issue. Turning fat into muscle is fart more important than obsessing over your weight.

He's how I know this is working for me. On days that I don't walk after my meal I will sit in my chair and fall right to sleep. When I awaken I feel like crap for the rest of the evening and I don't sleep so good on those nights. Sometimes when I don't get out right away I can be sitting in my chair on the verge of dozing off and I get my ass up and get out the door. I'm amazed at how good I feel after having burned some of that glucose down, getting my muscles moving, and getting some air in my lungs.

You don't need to count calories. Just stop eating the crap that's making you sick and overweight (and we all know what they are) and get your ass up off the couch and go walk 3500 steps. Stay at it and you will see results.

I'm a type2 diabetic and can vouch for her advice. I tested my glucose levels after every meal. I learned that I needed to dial my low carb diet even lower. Once I did that I started to lose weight, stopped being hungry all the time, and started eating less often. I've been able to lose over 85lbs, take less medication for my osteo & rheumatoid arthritis, and no longer need insulin injections. The key is paying attention to how YOUR body responds to what you eat. Her advice to stay active, reduce stress, and get proper sleep are all spot on.

As a Physician living with type 1 diabetes for the past 25 years, I have developed a way to keep on track. My A1Cs average between 5.5-6.0. I try to stay firmly on my diet during the week, but allow myself one guilty pleasure in small quantity on the weekend ( 1 bagel). This is like the carrot and the stick!

I learned quite a bit! When I was first diagnosed I was told not to check my glucose levels....a good friend, who is diabetic told me to check it anyway and I did. I took classes to learn do's and don'ts and was off of medication in about 6 months and have never looked back. My A1c is about 5.8-6.0 and I still check my glucose daily and often. Ignorance is not bliss. Thank you for your informative video! Just subscribed.

All excellent suggestions. I recently switched to Tresiba because Levemir is being discontinued. My blood sugar control is super! I never realized what a new (to me), improved long-acting insulin can do.

Don’t forget to combine foods correctly. First veggies, second protein and lastly carbs. Also take a glass of water with apple vinegar before dinner. Don’t forget to hidrate with green tea or chamomile tea. These also control glucose level. Fruits only consume Berries. That’s my take on this. But exercise is a must !

I found your site as i was looking for some ways to rotate my injection sites. I noticed my A1c climbing a few months back and my Dr. was alarmed. I was able to get a Diabetes counselor and she sleuthed that i was injecting into the same spots too often and those areas did not allow proper absorption due to scar tissue.
I used your suggested body sites and my glucose began to decline. Thank you so much or your video!
