actually saturated fats are good for you, and the vast majority of fatty build up in your arteries is polyunsaturated fats.
Thank you! I was not aware of the MMOL scale at the time.
Hey, every now and then you have to splurge and have a treat to keep yourself “inline” the rest of the time. I do this, but not often. It’s not a good habit to “treat” every day, you know. I always plan some exercise afterwards, too, to help the numbers get back down.
Looked like 4.5, read in MMOL not MGDL. He was probably at 81, then, which is acceptable. I know many online who use MMOL scale.
How could your blood sugar be 45?
Was that a correct number that you showed on the video? That is really low.
Normal blood sugar range is 70 to 100.
A1C test. 6.2
Between 88 and 95 in the mornings.
And never higher than 147, 2 hours after meals. Never.
Although I did eat a two scoop sundae from baskin robins one day. And my blood sugar peaked around 250. But that was with the works, whipped cream nuts cherries and syrup.
What was your A1C and what are your blood sugars 2 hours after you eat and when you wake up in the morning?
Two hours after eating i’ll test.
Within 2 hrs and 15 minutes it’s already dropping, and fast.
Ask for the numbers your doc received.
Also 88-95 in the morning is high, it’s not over the limit but the upper range of normal is 99, so your on the border.
how long after eating did you take the second set?
I don’t think you need this diet. use alex chiu’s magnetic discovery
Actually, Alex Chiu’s Immortality Rings cure diabetes. There are lots of testimonial on Alex Chiu’s website. People reported diabetes type 1 or 2 cured within a week.
Thanx for answering.
After my A1c test he did follow it up with a fasting glucose test. That was when he confirmed my diagnosis.
I should have asked for my specific numbers.
I’ve never had an OGTT though.
I know your not a doctor. But what would you say about my at home glucose testing before and after meals.
Before eating and in the mornings around 88-95 mg/dl
After eating anywhere from 130-147 mg/dl. And that’s peak.
JacdCat,
Your diagnose of diabetes, based on your A1c is spurious. You pre/post meal blood glucose values do not always correspond with A1C either. A fasting glucose test or an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) w/values over 110 mg/dl, are quantitative diagnostic criteria for diabetes. Usually, an A1C is not a standa-alone dx criteria for Type 2 diabetes.

Quick test for anyone who may have diabetes,taste UR urine if it’s sweet U may have it.They use to call it honey urine.
what is agave necter ??????? has someone tried it ? i have heard that it is a natural sweetner like honey with low GI and good for maintaining normal suger levels
Alright if anybody can answer this.
i was diagnosed with diabetes, not pre diabetes.
Supposedly my A1c test was high.
So anyways, when I check my sugar before and after meals it is always within a good range.
Even when I eat alot.
Is my doctor lying and gettin paid off me or what?
Excess consumption of Sugars, ANY sugars is a no go in controlling blood glucose-

Sugar-sweetened beverages (soda sweetened with sugar, corn syrup, or other caloric sweeteners and other carbonated and uncarbonated drinks, such as sports and energy drinks) may be the single largest driver of the obesity epidemic.
Intake of sugared beverages is associated with increased body weight, poor nutrition, increasing consumption increases risk for obesity and diabetes; the strongest effects are seen in studies with the best methods and interventional studies show that reduced intake of soft drinks improves health.1 Studies that do not support a relationship between consumption of sugared beverages and health outcomes tend to be conducted by authors supported by the beverage industry.
Can you read what Dr. Bernstein writes ? He is a long standing diabetic himself and knows first hand what to do.
Achieving normal blood sugars for diabetics with the aid of a low carbohydrate diet and exercise is the focus of
Dr. Bernstein’s Revised and Updated 2007 Diabetes Solution, and the New Diabetes Diet, Dr. Bernstein’s Low-Carbohydrate Solution,
Hope helps,

I was controlled by diet and exercise. Now I have to take metformin 1000. I really hate this disease. I am growing a little sad. I have never felt this way about my diabetes.
Sure being diabetic is not at all easy on the whole body. Diabetes is one of the most serious illness there is and results in a wide range of organ failures.
I can only go on the information given by Dr. Bernstein.
What is more damaging and live threatening ? High blood glucose or uric acid ? At least uric acid can be controlled completely by medication.
Thanks for the response.
Further research work is now underway to “cure” diabetics. Hopefully in future diabetes is no longer a disease.
The extremely low carb diet recommended by Dr. Bernstein has risks of it’s own because it is too high in protein which is hard on the kidneys. I have a friend that is also a type 2 diabetic who was telling me how wonderful the Bernstein diet was for controlling his blood glucose. He is now on dialysis and awaiting a kidney transplant. Carbs arn’t necessarily bad if properly selected. Carbs are not just bread, pasta, rice, etc. They are also healthy choices such as good veggies and fruits.
If u find that u are unable to take Fish Oil, Flax seed or Primrose Oil is just as good. as they both contain Omega’s . Even better, take both together.
“I went vegetarian at the beginning of the decade and by 2005 my blood sugar had spiked to 27 mmol.”
Thanks for being honest.

I went vegetarian at the beginning of the decade and by 2005 my blood sugar had spiked to 27 mmol.
Since then I’ve gone back to eating red meat and fish, and I take my Metformin, but not as often as when I was first diagnosed.
It’s so nice to hear that diabetes can be reversed. Most dietitians have it wrong and tell you 80% carbs and 20% fat… Those numbers should be reversed.
