    Finding this man was the best thing to ever happened to me in my life. After my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes I spent a year on medication, wondering around the grocery stores trying to find something to eat and kidding myself. When I went for my 1st year check up and was blind sided by my doctor who has absolutely no bedside manner and left his office like a kid that was just scolded. A friend turned me on to Dr. fung. I was 280 plus. I changed eating habits, changed my lifestyle. Started fasting. I eat once a day. From 4pm to no later than 8pm. The weight fell off. I went from 280lbs+ to 215lbs and eventually found my perfect weight at 220 to 225. The metformin went in the trash 2 years ago. I check my blood sugar about once a week.
    Thank you, Dr. Fung.

      What foods do u eat during your fasting? Hope you share it to us.thanks in advance reply.may God bless u.

    • @overwatch2671 says:

      @Vicky LaporeΒ 
      I eat vegetables, fruit, nuts, and meat. I do not eat bread of any kind. No dairy, except for butter. No crackers. I do not eat processed food. Salad dressings and BBQ sauces, I pay very close attention to the carb and sugar content. 2 grams of sugar is my max. I feed my cravings to an extent. Bananas are a treat. Baked potatoes are a craving. I use real butter. I eat a lot of raw veggies. I pay very close attention to anything with a nutritional label. Generally if food comes in a can, jar, box, package, or bottle, I don’t even pick it up. Anything else that has a label is inspected for carbs and sugar.
      I hope this helps

      Changed your diet, IF and avoid certain foods will help greatly. I am also T2D. The metformin made my foot go numb so yes I stopped taking them. My dr cannot treat the numbness bc there was no pain. Its quite frustrating when my own dr cannot help me but prefer to keep us medicated for life.

    In six months I cut my a1c in half to where I’m in pre-diabetic range now and I’m cutting my blood pressure meds in half. I had started taking insulin because my doctor threatened to drop me, and I gained 30 pounds in three months, developed all over pain from OA, a trigger thumb, and couldn’t even put on my own socks and shoes. At 62 I thought I was just another old age statistic. But I read about fasting in a natural approach osteoarthritis site so I began fasting with a carnivore dietβ€”bought the Jason’s books along the wayβ€”and lost 60 pounds pretty quickly but first my pain resolved including my trigger thumb and after just a week I felt I could walk again.. I couldn’t even walk 15 minutes at first but now I walk for over an hour at a time, Plus lift weights and I’m swimming laps, and dancing again. I have a lot more fat to lose but for the first time I believe I’ll get there.

      Glad you got results that you happy with. But isn’t such extreme /fasting a risk to your gallstones/gallbladder problems. Although there are recognised benefits such as lower blood pressure, reduction in excess weight etc but my guess is all things in moderation and balance. Many people who are pre or diabetic can reduce their levels effectively via exercise/diet/sleep/relaxing/yoga etc. take care 😊

    Dr. Fung, I spread the word about YOU everyday. You are my hero. I began watching you years ago as you simply explained blood sugar in simple understandable terms. I loved the video and a year later, watched as many as I could. I unplugged the microwave, oven/ stove and ate nothing but live foods. I challenged myself to walk for hours. Found out later that dancing worked better than walking lowering blood sugar quicker. Lost 50 Lbs. You are my hero. My doctor took his glasses off, looks at me and asked β€œ How did you do this?” I told him Dr. Fungs intermittent Fasting. Love eating one meal around 2 pm and go to bed early.

      Type 1 diabetes is caused by a shock to the pancreas, like a virus or drinking a potent energy drinks on an empty stomach. It is not hereditary.

    • @kaymuldoon3575 says:

      My brother-in-law has type 1 diagnosed in his early 20s (he’s in his 60s now). No one in his family had it either.

      I’ve heard some doctors say that it is thought to be caused by an extreme illness such as a high fever or bad case of the flu (or something similar) from childhood, and the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks the beta cells in the pancreas (not unlike an autoimmune type situation). Which can in some cases later lead to type 1 diabetes.

  • @gaylehorton5301 says:

    Thank you for explaining this. My husband was recently diagnosed as Type 2. For the past two weeks, he’s had a very clean diet. His after meal readings are around 92. So, I was surprised that his morning reading (after a 12 hour fast) ranged around 130. This is his body unloading the passengers from his train car. Your metaphors really help me understand what’s going on.
