I think the best marker for Diabetes is Fasting Insulin.
Dennis mine has turned around since 2.5 years after watchin a lot of youtube nutritional vids
Got some good news last week from my diabetic doctor. My insulin resistance is improving! I have been doing low carb, time restricted eating and not eating anything after 8 pm. Add a little exercise in too. Brought my a1c down from 12.9 to 5.1. Normal bloodsugar readings now and no dawn effect.
Congratulations 🍾🎈🎊🎉
exactly what he ate to drop the numbers and the cholesterol
My a1c is 16.1. Any sugestions besides low carb diet
Carnivore diet along with IF/TRE
Seek medical attention asap

If you can’t control your eating then you need meds. You’re killing yourself unfortunately.
Way to go, Paul! I don’t know you – I AM you! I was diagnosed with an A1C of 12.2 back in Nov. I immediately went very low carb and stopped eating almost all carbs and no snacking. I didn’t get to see an endocrinologist until January 10th. I had already dropped my A1C to 10.5. I started Metformin at the end of January. She also prescribed Jardience but I’m not going to take it – too many risky side effects from what I heard. I went to a health screening at work (a hospital) in late Feb. My A1C had dropped to 8.9 at that time and as of today, I’ve lost 47 pounds since November. I am intermittent fasting 17 – 7 and still eating very low carb (and low calorie) and no snacking at all.
When I first started my journey, my numbers would spike with almost ANYTHING I ate…even if it is just a tiny amount of carbs and sometimes with no carbs at all! I’ve been exercising after meals – focusing on the large muscles to burn more glucose. I’m doing everything right and my numbers are in range most of the time per my libre3 sensor. My average glucose is now 109 – 112 daily, including that darn Dawn Phenomenon but it’s really “Foot to Floor” syndrome – my resting blood glucose is pretty good – usually below 100 but the minute my feet hit the floor in the morning, my numbers spike up 10-20 points. (but all these numbers have improved a lot since I started. Once more thing, I am a worrier of the worst kind. I worry about my family, my health and lack of money. Trying to get a hold on all those cortisol hormones and other stressors by exercising, journaling, and of course, prayer.
I commented on Beat Diabetes about a month ago saying, “I just want to know that if I continue this healthy lifestyle, that my numbers will get better.” But in that short time, I’ve seen the numbers get even better so I am confident it may take me a year as well. Thank you Dennis and Paul for the inspiration to beat diabetes for another day!
You wrote a book 📕
Its amazing how some people will be so motivated and do something about a diabetes diagnosis right away and find the answers from their doctor, licenced diabetes educator and nutritionist. Oh, wait…
Think how ridiculous it is we have to go to youtube to get the right answers about a life threatening chronic disease. The root cause of this mess are the corrupt food guidelines.
Exactly! The useful info that has helped me was gleened from Dennis, Dr. Berg, Dr. Fung and Dr. Sten Ekberg. Thank God for these men and the truth they get out to us.
Hi I’m in UK so don’t know if the same in USA but why can’t type 1 have ozempic ? 😊
He is trying to do it by modifying his eating habits as part of a long term solution.
Hi Dennis..bought 2 of your books..waiting for them to arrive..eagerly
Have a blessed day
It’s as though the psychological feedback that accompanies uncontrolled eating can be replaced and reversed by a CGM.
Lovely interview. I have missed these types of interviews.
Bravo, Paul!!! Good job!!!
It’s funny how people can ignore the pre diabetes diagnois but something about an actual diabetes diagnosis has a way of scaring people. I have incredible neuropathy and my a1c was never over 5.9 so maybe the “pre” should be dropped once we go past 5.5 or 5.7.
I need discipline. ☹️ I keep messing up. I started off strong for my first 3 months when I first was told I have diabetes in 2020. But after that I spiraled down. And I keep messing up. I even mess up fasting which I used to be able to do when I tell myself I want to fast!!! 🫤
