Just got my CGM -LOVING IT!
Greetings from Ethiopia. That was really very educational. Thank you, Dennis.
He’s Killing It!! 😊👍👍. Well Done , Sir .
Similar results for me with T2D. I’ ve have been usng Mark Sisson Primal Blueprint combined with Dr. Ted Naiman’s P:E Diet protocols ( 1g/lbs of my reference (minimum lean mass) weight, low carb, low/moderte healthy fat for a few years now. 16:8 intermittentfasting, mostly whole foods. I’ve lost ~70 lbs so far, lowered A1c from 9.3++ to 4.5 Resistance weight training full body 3x/week to increase my lean mass while decresing my fat mass.
Rice is not food. It will kill you. Avoid all grains. Eat only meat, butter, bacon, eggs and seafood and you’ll be happy and healthy!
One of the first studies on nutrician involved feeding chickens on only white rice. They became very sick. Then they were given whole grain rice with husk and germ and they recovered.
Interesting that he finds freezing Basmati rice works for him. I’ve been a sceptic about cooling starch to lower GI and Dennis has shown by his own testing that the results aren’t as positive as the hype.
But Hansel seems convinced in the benifits. Perhaps it a subject worthy of further investigation?

Congratulations to this very gentle soul! Mr. Hansel San Juan, I admire you very much for sharing your story with this community! Naively, I believed that medical professionals didn’t get diabetes, so your story is eye-opening to me. Your tenacity, patience, focus and persistence is to be respected! I think you are brave and amazing to share your story as a medical professional! I bet many other health professionals are going through what you have gone through and are afraid to admit it. Your bravery paves the roads for others!

He said he is returning to eating rice by applying the resistant starch trick. I predict his A1C will rise again.
Many thanks ,Dennis, for interviewing this amazing Philippine Nurse who proved to us ‘If there is a will, there is a way”.
Great story .
he had diarrhea
Fantastic!
Indeed very encouraging testimony.. Discipline is a must in order to. Maintain normal range..
That’s true.. Protein nand fats no sugar spiking
I love these testimonies! Low carb and/or fasting has been the key for me, but I have recently learned a very useful new(for me) trick: light exercise AFTER a meal. Particularly if I have a meal with more carbs than I usually have. No carb or low carb and I know my blood sugar will rise either zero or to 140 MAX, but more likely 110 to 120. I still remember the thrill when I ate a gut stufffing steak with salad and high fat, low carb ranch dressing and had close o zero blood sugar rise after! This was not long after I had discovered I was shooting uo to 175 to 190 after most meals, so I was truly thrilled to discover the difference cutting carbs made!
But if I eat a few carbs (say 20 to 25 grams, too many but still way lower than the 100 or so I used to eat each meal) and I go for a 20 minute walk AFTER the meal, and/or maybe 20 to 30 deep knee bends(not always both), I have been shocked to see my sugar sometimes does not rise at all, or sometimes maybe from 99 to 119. My goal from when I started watching Dennis was to stay below 140, but I have mostly(by eating low carb) been able to stay well below that, with a rise between zero( or even negative! ) and 20. But if I have even a moderate amount of carbs I knew I was going over 140, maybe 160. But adding that post meal walk( and I need/want to walk anyway) has allowed me to get away with the occasional indiscretion.
It turns out that while in movement( heavy exercise not needed for this purpose), the muscles suck up blood sugar WITHOUT THE NEED FOR INSULIN! Well, how handy is that? It also turns out that the calf muscles are way extra efficient at that trick. And how much do the calf muscles move during a walk? Once for each of a thousand steps or more?
Also, confirmed for me via Mike the Meter, for some reason this seems to work better 15 to 30 minutes after a meal than before. One more tool in the box. BTW, my A1C is mid 5s and my fasting INSULIN runs about 5, which is pretty low. Not much need for the body to produce insulin if it is not having to deal with a bunch of sugar. High blood insulin is a root cause of multiple diseases.
Funny he didn’t mention where he keeps his daily carb count at. I keep mine between 35-50, and only fast 16 hrs daily. I dropped a1c from 9 to 6.5 in the first 3 months doing Low-Carb only, not Keto.
