Thank you for your work!
I have that book!
Thanks for your videos, I have lost 26lb and glucose is coming down after 2 months.
Much appreciated video’s !
The low carb aspect is working for me and the exercise will keep me in good physical condition, but the exercise doesn’t lower my blood glucose and I’ll explain the scenario on that. I stick my finger and write down the reading and then I go outside and mow my Florida lawn, with a propelled by me lawnmower in the heat and humidity. After I’m done I stick my finger again to see what that physical stress did to my blood glucose and bingo it has gone up a bit from that. The next morning I stick my finger and all is better, but not perfect. It is better than the previous morning dawn effect though. I hope this helps someone out and thank you Dennis 🙏.
Glucose is higher after exercise because the liver releases stored glucose in the form of glycogen when adrenaline goes up.
@@SunShine-kd6td Yes it certainly does and I wanted to share the cycle for others to understand it, as some think it lowers it.
@@warrenlucier5796 I think as far as glucose is concerned exercise is a non event and the results will be the same on an a1c whether eercising or sitting on the couch 24/7. Exercising is a healthy habit and is definately necessary in general, just not for blood sugar. I think exercise just confuses people for the most part anyway. They think they can exercise for 5 minutes and then go eat a box of Twinkies.
I have dawn phenomenon. I woke up this morning and my blood glucose was 145. I walked 30 minutes on the treadmill. 0 – 10 minutes at incline 3, 10 – 20 minutes at incline 4, 20 – 25 minutes at incline 5, 25 – 30 minutes at incline 6; all at 3 mph. After my walk, my glucose was 124; It had dropped by 21 points. I used finger prick (not my cgm) and average two readings. The more strenuous I work out, the more my glucose can rise; but it ultimately drops lower than it was. EVerybody is different.
@@goldenarm2118Exercise maintains muscle which helps metabolize glucose.

Dr. Ben Bickman, author of How Not to Get Sick. Per Dr. Bickman, diabetes is insulin resistance and to beat diabetes is based on ehat and when you eat, and, exercise. A profoundly intense thinker who always offers
practical and evidence-based intellectual information! 🥀🥀🎈🥀🍃🤩🍃🥀🎈🥀🥀
I listen to you for your info, and I also listen because I love the way you tally. It’s very soothing!
I agree about exercise. I find that it can push my numbers a bit lower, but low carb-ing does most of the work for me. Improving insulin sensitivity is real and I’ve noticed it over this past year.
Agree you cant exercise out of a bad diet and insulin resistance
I think it depends on whether you’re overweight or normal weight. Clearly people that are overweight need to exercise more.
Thank you
Blessings 🙏✝️
Great video!
I like everything Dr. Bikman has to say, and it’s all research based. I enjoy so much knowing the science behind my low carb lifestyle. I must add however, when I started my journey with screaming high blood sugar, and I ate nothing but hamburgers (no bun of course) for three days, and my blood sugar fell like a rock, I didn’t need to know much science. Mike told me everything I needed to know. Thank you, Dennis.
I always appreciate your words of wisdom, Bill!
I suspect that most people are simply eating more food than is needed for the energy they use. Especially at each meal. It’s overloading their system. This is why fasting is necessary. It’s possible that eating small healthy snacks throughout the day (grazing) is better than eating 2 or 3 large meals.
That would only raise insuline all day long. Not good either.
Greetings from Ethiopia. That was awesome. Thank you, Dennis.
My doctor once told me, it’s 90% what you eat and 10% exercise.
Dennis, you are correct: exercise is helpful, but it is NOT equal to diet.
I was recently diagnosed as type 2 this year. I’m on metformin which doesn’t seem to help much if any. I’ve done the dirty keto/carb restriction habit before along with intermittent fasting and occasional 24-36 hour fast. anyhow that was about 4 years ago before my MS diagnosis. I’m back on the low carb/intermittent fasting to try and bring my numbers back down to normal. I work evenings/late night, eat typically 2 hardboiled eggs and 1 avocado for lunch/breakfast, and a meat vegetable dish around 5-6 pm at work. every time I check my glucose after I get up (11am-12pm) my numbers struggle to get below 150. sometimes they are still 170-180. I struggle with exercise because of my MS. even walking is a struggle. I go through the night with chronic nerve pain. I wonder if my chronic nerve pain is causing raised cortisol levels which in turn raise glucose levels. anyhow i’m still trying.
If we have too much insulin, why are some of us put on insulin?
There are 2 different conditions.Type 1 diabetes where the pancreas produces a little to no isulin. Type 2 diabetes where the pancreas produces insulin but there’s improper use of it that leads to high glucose level in the blood.
My sister has stage 4 Breast cancer as diagnosis with mets to lymph nodes, diabetes and later developed a rare form call Medullary thyroid cancer,she have just 2 years to live and she never been this scared to die, she just 37, i cry everyday wishing for a miracle to happen. i don’t know why I’m saying this here. put me in your prayers.
im really sorry. i’ve was in such situation 15 months ago. i had just 2 months to live till a friend told me about a healer who helped me. She cured me, I don’t know how she did it. but i owe her my life. she’s the reason i’m alive today.
That’s wonderful, how do i get in touch with the healer?
Her name is Prophetess Elizabeth Ethan,and she is a great healer who can heal you. you can look her name up online and you will find all you need.
Thank you for this valuable information, I just looked her up online.
I agree Dennis. I worked out for 25 years and still ended up with Diabetes. Low carb knocked my blood sugars into a far better range
