Grabe ok pa ba sya? Buti di sya na ER ng ganyan na kataas ng sugar nya, san kaya galing ksi healthy lifestyle daw sya plus it doesn’t run in the family so pano? San nakuha? Wahhhhhh!!!!! Kakatakot na ngayon basta nalang susulpot ang sakit kahit healthy lifestyle, nkakalito !!!
Grabe healthy lifestyle na to ah, pano pa Kaya yung mga food is life, I just started regular check ups at importante talaga yon atleast yearly , pa pre-diabetes na ako Parang isang point nalang, yung mga kapatid ko na nasa 40’s ayon parang tv ratings ang labanan pataasan ng sugar levels 🤦🏻♂️
Ibang iba na rin kasi talaga ang mga ingredients ng foods ngayon kahit anong ingat pa ang gawin ng tao at kahit wala namang history ng illness ang pamilya
Ako din i was diagnosed type 2 last jjan of 2023. Mga 297 blood sugar ko tapos nag metformin ako at insulin ng halos 5 months lang tapos mataas ang cholesterol ko at yung blood pressure ko nasa 180. Pero ngayon normal na lahat ng A1C ko at lahat ng lab ko normal na as of april 2024. I’m not talking medication na rin ng metformin or insulin. Na reverse ko siya. Thank you Lord.
Hi 12:15, dun sa not taking Metformin anymore, did your doctor advise you not to na ba? Mom ko kasi, di naman sobrang taas ng sugar, mga 150-180 ata but was advised to take Metformin twice a day then when it normalized, once a day na lang. Regular naman check-up, okay din HbA1c nya. Pero continuous pa din sya sa metformin. Maybe because senior na din kaya as maintenance na?
Hello 12:43 when I started with my diet and exercise I’ve noticed na below 70 na (below 60 na ang blood sugar ko) while taking insulin at metformin so I’m kinda worried sa Hypoglycemia. So I asked yung Doctor of pharmacy about it. So gradually inalis muna yung insulin tapos ipinagpatuloy ko yung metformin ng isang beses na lang instead of two met a day. Tapos medyo mababa na talaga at halos normal na blood sugar ko at pati a1c ko na 10.5 naging 5.4 na lang so sabi nila itry ko daw na wala na din ng metformin at i have to check my blood sugar kung okay yung numbers ko for 2 weeks without medication at all so ayun ipinatigil na nila pero kailangan ko parin I monitor yung blood sugar ko once a day at pag may mga changes ay kailangan ko silang sabihan. Regarding sa mom mo maybe whatever her doctor prescribed eh you have to follow because they know what’s best for her. Love and prayers. Thanks
12:43 I don’t think a good doctor would advice to totally stop metformin. My mom is the same with yours. Her A1C went back to normal level. Her primary physician reduced her Met to once a day. According to her doc, once you’ve been a diabetic, even though you’re in a normal level, it can be easily triggered to come back caused by a lot of factors (food, immobility, stress, etc).
Thanks for replying, 1:11! Yes, it made sense nga na eventually, huminto ka nga sa medicine since ang baba na nga ng sugar mo. And nadaan din pala sa healthier lifestyle. Actually, ganyan yung doctor namin, more than sa prescription ng gamot, kung manageable pa naman by changing lifestyle, yun muna ang susubukan. Congrats sayo for staying as disciplined as possible! :)
1:20 But that’s what I did I stopped taking Met since July 2023 and i had a recent lab work - My Blood sugar control (Diabetes) is stable and at goal. normal Cholesterol, normal Cholesterol (HDL - Good cholesterol), normal Creatinine, normal Kidney Filtration Rate (GFR), normal Liver Function Tests , normal Potassium, normal Sodium, and the rest of my labs are normal.
9.03 probably lifestyle yan. Possible kasing mangyari na wala nmn sa pamilya pero nagkaroon ka ng sakit. Ang big contributory kasi netoh ung kinakain mo.
Katawa naman itong mga LCIF advocates. Eh hindi naman narereverse ang diabetes. Nacocontrol lang. Kasi nga naka LCIF kayo. Natural hindi tataas ang sugar niyo. Try niyo kumain ng desserts at mabilis pa sa alas 4 pagtaas ng blood sugar niyo. Kasi nga sira na ang beta cells sa diabetes, and ever heard of the word insulin resistance? Sa haba ng palitan niyo ng comments, none of you bring about the topic of insulin resistance. You're just keeping diabetes at bay or under control because of LCIF but not really reversing it. Otherwise makakaya niyo na ulit kumain ng carbs at sugar without drastically spiking your blood sugar -- like a person with a normal blood sugar can. And pakisagot naman ang risk of gallbladder stones for fasting ang atherosclerosis for higher intake of saturated fats. I know so because I researched and tried them all. Nothing beats a balance diet/moderation in everything and a consistent exercise regimen. But then again as much as I try to help, to each his own.
By LCIF did you mean Liw Carb snd Intermitten Fasting? Sino ba sa mga nag comment sa taas ang advicstts nyan? Sa Google ka ba nag research? Try mo PubMed. Believe only scientific studies done with blind randomized trials. Also, if you font know yet, Dr Jason Fung, an advocate of IF, a nephrologist based in Canada, has written books on IF and diabetes. Baka ikaw ang may hindi alam kung ano ang role mg insulin. You can also read Dr Eric Westman, an advocate of LC He is an internal medicine doctor and obesity medicine specialist.
My husband nga 300+ lang that time but he landed in the er and eventually icu. Thank God he survived. Thank God for second life. Buti si sam ok pa sya that time.
2:38 ano po bang nakakatawa sa naging palitan ng discussion? Mukhang hypertension at hindi diabetes ang problema mo po pwede ka naman magparticipate sa discussion ng hindi ka gumagamit ng harsh words pero kung magbitaw ka ng mga salita parang ikaw lang ang tama at mali ang iba! Sinabi na nga nila sa mga comments nila na galing din sa mga attending doctors nila ang mga steps na ginawa nila eh takang taka ka pa! Gusto mo talagang palabasin na ikaw ang tama at mali lahat ang iba!
333 Hindi mo kinatalino ang pag banggit kay Fung and Westman. Nasa YouTube yan. Lalo na si Fung. The thing is hindi mo naman nadeny o na contradict un point ko na once itigil ang LCIF tataas ulit ang sugar. Ergo hindi nareverse ang diabetes. Nacontrol lang
Hindi po puwede stop ang metformin w/o drs advise. And if ever kayo po ay diabetic, taking meds and insulin at may planong mag diet at exercise, dapat niyo din po ito sabihin sa dr para i-adjust nila ang meds.
11:56 Tama, kaya nga din they will repeat the labs every 6 months. Pero kung okay naman yung numbers mo at pag mababa na ang sugar consistently malamang ititigil mo na ang met at insulin
8:35 Ang layo naman Ng comeback mo. What a shame. Hindi nakaya ng brain cells mo unawain un sinabi ko? I'm not opposing or questioning their results/doctors recommendation. All I am staying is diabetes is not reversible but can only be controlled. Hirap na hirap ka kasing intindihin un
Uy grabe taas ng glucose reading nya. I'm type 2 diabetic too, sadly nasa family history talaga. Nakakainggit those who can eat whatever and not worry about their blood sugar rising. But ganun talaga, mine started as gestational DM sa second child ko. Controlled naman na now, I'm glad to have a good endo doctor.
Type 2 din ako. Sa low carb talaga swak. Pero nung nanganak na ako, hirap but breastfeeding help a lot din.. controlled naman sugar ko..ung rice lang naeliminate ko...d ko pa kayang magbalik low carb kasi wala na ung taga bake ko..
I'm still breastfeeding din, still taking meds kahit normal na fbs ko.. binabaan lang dose ng meds ko kasi may episodes ako ng hypoglycemia. My dad died of DM complications kaya nakakapraning. He was taking meds since he was in his late 20s. Though agree ako sa ibang comments here na lifestyle disease talaga sya. Though hindi narereverse, it can be controlled
Naku i remember when i had gestational dm kahit awayin ako ng asawa ko wash the dishes bahala xa sa buhay nga nakakapagod maghugas ng plato mamatay xa sa galit hindi ako kikilos
Low Carb and IF ang sagot. Kaya ireverse ang diabetes. Kung di ka nga mahilig sa sweets eh makanin, tinapay, pasta, pizza na starchy (starch is equivalent to sugar) tapos fruits ang tataas din ng sugar nun. Pinakasafe na fruits ay Avocado and Berries. Mali ang thinking na fats ang may kasalanan. Sugar ang salarin tropa pa yan ng cancer.
You can't reverse diabetes. You can only control it. Syempre if you go low carb or fasting talagang bababa ang sugar mo. Pero once kumain ka ulit ng carbs at di na magfasting, tataas ulit sugar mo. Kung nareverse mo talaga siya eh kahit anong kainin mo, dapat mababa pa din sugar mo. Kaso hindi. So hindi mo talaga siya nareverse. Na control mo lang.
12:13 ikaw nagsspread ng lies. Reversible tapos?!?! Wala kang ngang nilagay na explanation eh. Kasi wala kang malagay. Nag provide ka lang ng conclusion. Hindi reversible ang diabetes, nacocontrol lang. Dahil low carb ka nga at nagfafasting so natural mababa blood sugar mo. Subukan mong kumain ng carbs at sugar tataas pa din yan. Wala ka namang explanation sa mga sinabi mo, pinipilit mo lang reversible period. Sus! Research ka din pag may time
This. Hindi cya reversible talaga! You can just control it through diet and lifestyle. Wag din ma bisyo like alcohol at yosi. You can manage it naman pero wala cya cure.
This is why advocates of low carb don’t call it diet. It is a lifestyle. To say na pag kumain ka ng sweet food and carbs tataas uli or babalik true naman yan. But this concept stems from an ignorance of the body’s metabolism, of how your body uses the energy derived from such. Yes. Type 2 diabetes is reversible kung mero kang disiplina at self control.
You can only reverse type 2 diabetes if you are borderline diabetic, its at the onset and hindi ka pa diagnosed because there are other factors why you might be getting high bloog sugar on your tests such as obesity. But once you are diagnosed you cant go back.
341 paulit ulit kayo sa reversible wala naman kayong maprove na point. Dahil kung nareverse niyo yan kahit lumamon kayo ng matatamis at carbs hindi na yan tataas. -- Just like a person with normal blood sugar does. Kasi nga may sira na beta cells niyo. This stems from ignorance of how diabetes destroys beta cells and makes a diabetic insulin resistant. You still don't know how it works. Un sinasabi mong metabolism, I will put it correctly masyadong vague un iyo, or burning sugar while exercising pwede yan sa pre diabetic. Pero sa full blown diabetic it won't work anymore. Ignorance is not bliss
341 Pinagsasabi mong ignorance of the body's metabolism? Eh yan na nga si Sam perfect example, nag eexercise pero nagka diabetes pa din. Hay nako ginagawa niyong ignoramus mga tao
10:33, I can't help but comment dun sa understanding mo about reversible. Esp dun sa sinabi mo na if true reversible, kahit anong kakainin mo, dapat do na babalik high blood sugar mo or essentially diabetes. Think of like remission sa cancer.You may be cancer-free now pero it might recur again in the future. Yes, hindi di siya curable. Everyone, I'm sure can agree to that. But you can go back to clean slate, start anew. This time, limit or avoid mo na what brought to to become Type 2 diabetic in the first place (Type 1 is totally different) and the health complications that come with it. Isn't that hopeful? Na with changes and commitment to a healthy diet and lifestyle puwede maging ok ulit.
No. High blood glucose can also be triggered by stress, anxiety and even pain. Hindi lang pagkain. It can’t be reversed. Ang impairment ng diabetes ay ung production ng insulin sa katawan mo. So kahit controlled mo yan there is still a high chance na tumaas ang sugar mo because of other factors. So once you’re diagnosed to have it, hindi na sya marereverse. You can only control it.
Sadly di uso sa Pinas lalo na mga wlang pera at insurance tinitiis nalang or wait na lumala. For sure may pera naman si Sam so I can’t think of any reason na di sya magpa annual check up, minsan ksi pag lam mo healthy ka at wlang nraramdaman dedma ang mga annual PE which is not good. Dito sa US nala sched ang annual PE kaya di pede ma miss, tatawagan ka, or email to remind you
possible na he does but hindi na included sa pina-screen niya since healthy living siya and no family history
also, most APEs ng mga company hindi rin kasama ang checking ng blood sugar and cholesterol, ang usual checks lang ay CBC, urinalysis, xray, and physical exam.
12:16 sa urinalysis, diba may mga factors dun like RBC, WBC, ketones etc? isa dun is Glucose at kapag mataas siya, i believe sinasuggest na ipacheck na ang blood sugar.
10:31, galing from carbs. Carbs convert to sugar. Perhaps he is fond of refined carbs. Baka like nya mga bread, pasta, unli rice. The body converts carbs to sugar. There’s now a different paradigm about Type 2 diabetes and that paradigm is backed by science.
3:10 not really, possible na normal lahat but dun lang nalabas pag nag ogtt, hba1c, and fbs. ganun yung nangyari sa akin, normal results but since may pcos ako and i usually feel exhausted before and during my period, my ob recommended na mag undergo ng tests to screen for diabetes.
Once a diabetic is always a diabetic. All you have to monitor is your A1-C. I know people in pinas only monitor glucose level and so ignorant what A1-C is. Totally misinform
Sorry pero sobrang outdated talaga ng knowledge ng tao dito sa Pilipinas. Sorry 9:53 pero di nila naiintindihan yung sinasabi natin especially the Low Carb movement. Good luck na lang sa kanila.
My gosh. Paulit ulit kayo. Are you even MD/DO? Endocrinologist ba kayo? Lakas maka sabing outdated ang Pinas. I’m from the US and working in the medical field. No way you can reverse it. You can only control it. There are other factors for blood sugar to spike not just food intake!!!!
Normal range is 70 - 100. Dapat nasa ER na siya and given insulin shot sa ganyang kataas na reading. It can cause ketoacidosis which is for ICU and life threatening.
11:46 ako si 10:01, nagka ketoacidosis ako just recently kaya alam ko. Ikaw naexperience mo ba? Kung maka correct ka sa comment ko akala mo tama ka. Tseh!
He posted it for us to be aware. Like he said healthy lifestyle nya pero magkaroon pa rin syà type 2 diabetes. But I think type 2 diabetes can be reverse. Kayang kaya pa Yan Kasi last year lang sya na diagnosed
12:55 Pinagsasabi mong hacked? Check the comments section of this post and you can see him interacting with the commenters in ENGLISH. Porke nag tagalog, hindi na agad siya? Mema much.
Mas shocking pa talaga yung pag gamit niya ng tagalog kesa sa sugar value? Goes to show how so inferior we consider our mother tongue is! He’s been living in the PH for so long so nararapat lang din siya magsalita ng straight tagalog noh.
It's cause our diets are messed up. I dunno when it started, but for some reason we have all forgotten how to cook real filipino food. I came across lumpia queen's channel at iba pang mga content creators who misrepresent filipino food and it adds up kung bakit nagkakasakit tayo. Our diet used to be relatively healthy and balanced, but now our cuisine is known as a greasy, sugary mess with ultra processed ingredients.
process food, chips, unhealthy carbs. boba, ice tea, frapp, etc. anything na may mga matataas na sugar. Fruits is ok, but not too much din lalo kung may DM ka na. I remember we had a pt, nilantakan nya 1kg ng napakatamis na lanzones, she ended up with DKA.
Baka mahilig sa fruits, milk tea at yung mga kape sa coffee shops. We had a patient who kept drinking canned pineapple juice dahil akala nya healthy. Bumaba nga cholesterol nya to normal range pero nagka-diabetes naman sya.
It's ok to eat carbs kasi need ng katawan but hindi na unli rice. Pag bigla ka umiwas sa carbs, bababa bigla sugar mo. Wiich is equally dangerous too.eat in moderation. Reading all the comments here make me having my anxiety back! Lol. Brought my husband at the ER and na ICU pa. Recovery period din mejo nakakatakot. Good thing paumpisa pa lang pandemic nun at di pa ganun ka busy ang hospitals. God is so good!
There are a lot of good fruits our there like grapes (reservitol), pineapple (bromelain), cherries (anti-inflammatory, good for gout), etc. Key is, moderation and eating them in natural state. Wag ng haluan ng ano-ano. I eat avocados as is na, without cream or condensada.
Carbs are not inherently bad, especially fruits. If you completely eliminate carbs totoo na hindi tataas ang blood sugar but that will never address insulin resistance--you still need to be eating carbs na high in fiber to improve insulin sensitivity...kaya bihira ang mga doctor na magrerecommend ng keto diet. Refined sugar and processed foods ang harmful, especially when combined with a meal na mataas ang saturated fat.
Sorry pero people are so misinformed here. You can reverse your diabetes by doing low carb. Akala nila normal lang ang pagkain ng high carb lifestyle kaya nasasabi nilang irreversible siya. Read the history on why we are advised to eat carbs in the first place and you will be shocked. Again, diabetes is a LIFESTYLE disease.
Absolutely! I reversed my type 2 diabetes. No longer taking medication. From taking insulin and metformin to not taking any of those medications at all now. Diet and exercise.
Ikaw ang misinformed. Hindi mo nareverse. Na control mo lang. Kasi hindi ka na nga kumakain ng asukal at carbs. Try mo kumain ulit at tataas yan. Kasi nga hindi mo totally nareverse. Na control mo lang.
I think yung word na reverse is in the context of going back to pre-diabetic or normal blood sugar condition. Of course, it makes sense to keep off the foods and habits that led you to becoming fully diabetic. Wala naman nagsasabing, may magic bullet that will make it go away completely. But at least, you can now live in lesser risks from the dangers of its complications like heart and other inflammatory diseases.
Is this the original post or auto translated version? I went to his IG and noticed that his caption is written in english naman. Kaya pala madami ang shocked na tagalog ang caption, turns out to be auto translated lang.
Got curious and checked his IG. May nag comment if na hack daw ba ang account hahahaha. Windang din siguro bakit nga naman tagalog eh known na inglishero ang Sam.
Start learning to cook and bake, too. Iwasan din overly processed foods. And doon sa mga pre-diabetes pa lang, try to read The Magnesium Miracle. It might help you prevent na maging full blown diabetes.
Bakit naman ilalagay mo pa sa tubig? Kainin mo na lang. Nung mahirap pa ako at estudyante, yan kinakain ko lakas ko pa magkanin. Wala akong diabetes. Ngayon pre na. Letse talaga
@3:11But can you eat okra on a daily basis? I think mas realistic yung inumin sya daily. Hope somebody can provide a logical & personal experience info.
Kasalanan din ng pharmaceutical companies. Used to be normal bs is 80 to 120. Now its 80 to 110. So halos lahat pre diabetic and gives them the reason to prescribe meds.
Statin is not for diabetes. It is for high cholesterol. And pag pre-diabetes pa lang di pa bininigyan ng maintenance like metformin pero sa Pinas binibigyan na I think.
I read the comments and am really glad that there Are readers who follow the LC lifestyle. I have been doing it for 7 years. Yes. Diabetes is reversible at dun da nag comment to read Dr Jason Fung, classmate tayo dahil I read all of his works. I listen to his podcasts and that of othet low carb doctors. Dun sa mga may doubt pa listen to podcasts on iPhone, Spotify or even sa you tube ng mga doctors who follow such lifestyle.
3:57, ako yung nag advocate reading Dr. Jason Fung. Yan din nakatulong sa husband ko with his NASH. With lifestyle and diet change, naiwasan niya mauwi sa cirrhosis ang condition niya. And to those who are in the same boat, drink black coffee 3 or 4 cups a day with a Mediterranean diet. Turo yan mismo ng 2 specialists niya here sa Canada. Also doon sa pilit ini-insist that reversible meant puwede ka ng bumalik sa dating gawi like eating all the carbs and sugar you want without affecting your blood sugar, that's not how it works. It meant going back further to pre-diabetes to normal blood sugar state but KEEPING the healthy lifestyle and diet you have made to remain in that state. This time, with the healthy choices and habits para hindi na ulit mapunta sa high blood sugar. I was able to do that and yes, yearly din akong nagpapa-check up as I'm already in my 50s and menopausal na din. And for those who are suffering na din from high cholesterol and hypertension, consider donating blood. May tulong ka na sa iba, it's also beneficial to your health. I'm a regular blood donor now and managed to stay off statin medications.
When he said he shldve had it checked when he was younger is the current state ng most Pinoys coz walang health insurance na mandatory (or close to it) ang yearly physical.
It’s reversible for T2 with lifestyle change, diet and discipline. There are a lot of studies on it available online (free info). Im not promoting any specific diet but whatever works for your body - it’s all about the balance. Our bodies will react differently to certain foods, what’s good for you may not be good for me and vice versa. Please educate yourselves, especially sa Pinas, we tend to miss getting annual check up kse not everyone has access to good healthcare. Punta lang sa doctor pag may nararamdaman na sakit. By the time na malaman mo too late na or your blood sugar is out of control na.
He is a health buff and yet DM still hit him. DM can happen to anybody. Diet restriction/in moderation is a must Sasbihin nila walang diabetes mga tao noon but before rarely do people get checked. Diabetes can lead to a lot of problems too like heart disease, kidney ad liver disease. A lot of diabetic patients are also on dialysis. So stop na sa mga unli na yan at yan ang magiging unli way nyo to heaven :)
when taking fiber with or immediately after a meal, pag may bad carbs like white rice or white bread or regular pasta (a normal serving), the fiber will slow digestion and most likely, you will avoid a sugar spike. fiber examples are wheat bran, oat bran, psyllium husk, etc. downed with lots of water. this is my own journey, sumunod ako sa cdc recommendations (see below). i selected one soluble fiber (oat bran) and one insoluble fiber (wheat bran). i started with small amounts, di pwedeng biglaan, always during or right after mealtimes. then added a bit more each week till i reached the recommended amount per day. this works for me, as the cdc predicts, but **your mileage may vary** lalo na if you have a genetic predisposition. CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
i just think of them as my dessert, and the price to pay kaysa magka problema sa sugar. nice bonus yung napakadaling magbanyo! kaya laging nalilinis ang colon. oat bran also helps regulate bad cholesterol. this is what i read:
Increase your magnesium.inrake na din. It can be found in green, leafy veggies. And lakad lang kahit 30 mins daily. Do so yoga or other weight-bearing exercise. No need to enrol sa gym but develop a routine lang na laging gumagalaw. Even the simple act of using te stairs instead of elevator.
Apparently veggies-->protein-->starch works as well to curb glucose spikes cause as 9:14 said, yung fiber forms a mesh that slows down carb absorption. They also found na walking after a meal also lowers bg in a significant way.
ako last year (Dec) ko din nalaman na diabetic na ako.. although sugar ko ay nasa 108 lang, kaso hba1c ko ay 7.5... lahat ng symptoms ng heart attack na feel ko talaga and panic attack.. mag isa lang ako sa apartment kaya nag joyride ako papuntang hospital mag isa ng madaling araw.. nag ecg test ako negative naman daw at blood strain ang reason ng pananakit ng dibdib ko at balikat, tapos un nag palab test ako at diabetic na nga... ung sakin hirap na ko sa naramdaman ko, what more pa kaya ung kay Sam Milby.. Kapag diabetic na tayo iwas na po sa sugar talaga ( sweets, rice, pasta etc)
True. And even if prescribed ka ng medication, that doesn't give you a pass to revert to your old diet. Marami akong naririnig, yun ang laging dahilan, may gamot naman daw eh. So sige lang, enjoy pa tin sweets at unhealthy carb choices.
Ramdam ko si Sam. Recently sa APE ko I found out na may hypertension, type 2 diabetes at fatty liver na pala ako. Last year normal pa lahat ng laboratory/bp ko. Im just 39. Huhuhu. Tipong di ko alam kung san naggaling gayong di naman ako nagbago ng lifestyle
Yung commenter dito na nag pupumilit na hindi na rereverse ang diabetes at na ko control lang eh mga doctors na mismo ang naglabel nyan na reversible. Natural pag bumalik ka sa bad eating habits takagang babalik yung diabetes. Semantics lang yang reversible vs control. Yun namang magsabi na ikinatalino lo pag banggit ksy Dr Fung and Dr Westman yan po ay suggestion at hindi pagmamayabang. Just cited some references na credible. Suggestion lang sa mga classmates na gusto ng additional info about diabetes, low carb and intermittent fasting. At yung commenter about mentioning metabolism. Ang metabolism po involves biochemical reactions. Conversion po ng mga kinain nyo into energy in layman’s term. Yang energy na yan is used for cell and tissue repair. Also wala pong essential carbohydrates pero merong essentisl fatty acids and essential amino acids (from protein). The preferred energy source of energy in metabolism is fat and not carbs. Hindi po ito pagmamayabang ng ka alaman. Dagdag info lang po sbout metabolism and how the food that we eat is converted to energy and or stored as fat in the liver amd adipose tissues. Anong kinalaman ng diabetes? Malaki po. Magbasa ma lang po. Ang paradigm po ay diabetes is one of those metabolic syndromes. Member jan ang high blood pressure, heart disease at marami pang ibang sakit. Yan po ay galing sa John Hopkins Hospital. Wag po mag bash. Saliksikin nyo po ang metabolic syndrome.
6:26 tama si 3:48 except sa part na fat ang preferred source ng energy. As far as I know it's definitely glucose. Nagbabago na yung understanding sa diabetes and more and more experts are starting to claim na it could be reversible. Isa sa mga compelling na discussions about this is yung kay Dr. Lustig at Dr. Means.
Thats weird. Usually DM TYPE 2 is associated with obesity and Sam is fram from that. And 525 is way too high, sana nag pa check sya for DKA na rin. Baka Type 1 ang sakit nya at hindi type 2.
I thought of that, maybe he had DM Type 1 and was not diagnosed sooner. Usually DM 1 starts from childhood but people don't get diagnosed until they are in their teens like Gary V. I have a friend who is a doctor and he found out he has DM Type 1 when he was already in his 40's. He is suffering form both diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy but lucky to be still alive.
DM 2 is reversible if caught in early stage and treated with either metformin with consistent changes in lifestyle ie exercise, diet, stress management, etc. 500 is way too high. He might have been super stressed lately. Also, if he was type , he would have had symptoms earlier in life. A1c is better predictor of glucose control.

Grabe ok pa ba sya? Buti di sya na ER ng ganyan na kataas ng sugar nya, san kaya galing ksi healthy lifestyle daw sya plus it doesn’t run in the family so pano? San nakuha? Wahhhhhh!!!!! Kakatakot na ngayon basta nalang susulpot ang sakit kahit healthy lifestyle, nkakalito !!!
ReplyDeleteTrue! Kaya regular lab tests/check ups are important talaga
Deleteyun nga e. ako din kaka-39 lang tapos healthy lifestyle tapos bigla meron pala akong hypertension at borderline diabetes.
DeleteGrabe healthy lifestyle na to ah, pano pa Kaya yung mga food is life, I just started regular check ups at importante talaga yon atleast yearly , pa pre-diabetes na ako Parang isang point nalang, yung mga kapatid ko na nasa 40’s ayon parang tv ratings ang labanan pataasan ng sugar levels 🤦🏻♂️
DeleteTaas niyan. Times 5 ng Normal. Pag FBS
DeletePero sabi naman ng mga doctors ok ang madalas magpee dahil nawawash out
DeleteIbang iba na rin kasi talaga ang mga ingredients ng foods ngayon kahit anong ingat pa ang gawin ng tao at kahit wala namang history ng illness ang pamilya
DeleteAko din i was diagnosed type 2 last jjan of 2023. Mga 297 blood sugar ko tapos nag metformin ako at insulin ng halos 5 months lang tapos mataas ang cholesterol ko at yung blood pressure ko nasa 180. Pero ngayon normal na lahat ng A1C ko at lahat ng lab ko normal na as of april 2024. I’m not talking medication na rin ng metformin or insulin. Na reverse ko siya. Thank you Lord.
DeleteHi 12:15, dun sa not taking Metformin anymore, did your doctor advise you not to na ba? Mom ko kasi, di naman sobrang taas ng sugar, mga 150-180 ata but was advised to take Metformin twice a day then when it normalized, once a day na lang. Regular naman check-up, okay din HbA1c nya. Pero continuous pa din sya sa metformin. Maybe because senior na din kaya as maintenance na?
DeleteNa hack ba account nya? Si Sam ba talaga yan kasi nag ta Tagalog eh. If that's him hope you get well soon and get your blood sugar controlled.
DeleteHello 12:43 when I started with my diet and exercise I’ve noticed na below 70 na (below 60 na ang blood sugar ko) while taking insulin at metformin so I’m kinda worried sa Hypoglycemia.

Regarding sa mom mo maybe whatever her doctor prescribed eh you have to follow because they know what’s best for her. Love and prayers. Thanks
Delete12:43 I don’t think a good doctor would advice to totally stop metformin. My mom is the same with yours. Her A1C went back to normal level. Her primary physician reduced her Met to once a day. According to her doc, once you’ve been a diabetic, even though you’re in a normal level, it can be easily triggered to come back caused by a lot of factors (food, immobility, stress, etc).
DeleteThanks for replying, 1:11! Yes, it made sense nga na eventually, huminto ka nga sa medicine since ang baba na nga ng sugar mo. And nadaan din pala sa healthier lifestyle.

And pakisagot naman ang risk of gallbladder stones for fasting ang atherosclerosis for higher intake of saturated fats. I know so because I researched and tried them all. Nothing beats a balance diet/moderation in everything and a consistent exercise regimen. But then again as much as I try to help, to each his own.
DeleteBy LCIF did you mean Liw Carb snd Intermitten Fasting? Sino ba sa mga nag comment sa taas ang advicstts nyan? Sa Google ka ba nag research? Try mo PubMed. Believe only scientific studies done with blind randomized trials. Also, if you font know yet, Dr Jason Fung, an advocate of IF, a nephrologist based in Canada, has written books on IF and diabetes. Baka ikaw ang may hindi alam kung ano ang role mg insulin. You can also read Dr Eric Westman, an advocate of LC He is an internal medicine doctor and obesity medicine specialist.
DeleteMy husband nga 300+ lang that time but he landed in the er and eventually icu. Thank God he survived. Thank God for second life. Buti si sam ok pa sya that time.
Delete2:38 ano po bang nakakatawa sa naging palitan ng discussion? Mukhang hypertension at hindi diabetes ang problema mo po pwede ka naman magparticipate sa discussion ng hindi ka gumagamit ng harsh words pero kung magbitaw ka ng mga salita parang ikaw lang ang tama at mali ang iba! Sinabi na nga nila sa mga comments nila na galing din sa mga attending doctors nila ang mga steps na ginawa nila eh takang taka ka pa! Gusto mo talagang palabasin na ikaw ang tama at mali lahat ang iba!
Delete3:33 and your point is? 😂😂😂 Saka na ko maniniwala sa'yo pag sure ka na sa meaning ng LCIF. you merely named Fung and Westman, then what? Nada
Delete333 Hindi mo kinatalino ang pag banggit kay Fung and Westman. Nasa YouTube yan. Lalo na si Fung. The thing is hindi mo naman nadeny o na contradict un point ko na once itigil ang LCIF tataas ulit ang sugar. Ergo hindi nareverse ang diabetes. Nacontrol lang
DeleteHindi po puwede stop ang metformin w/o drs advise. And if ever kayo po ay diabetic, taking meds and insulin at may planong mag diet at exercise, dapat niyo din po ito sabihin sa dr para i-adjust nila ang meds.
Delete11:56 Tama, kaya nga din they will repeat the labs every 6 months. Pero kung okay naman yung numbers mo at pag mababa na ang sugar consistently malamang ititigil mo na ang met at insulin
Delete8:35 Ang layo naman Ng comeback mo. What a shame. Hindi nakaya ng brain cells mo unawain un sinabi ko? I'm not opposing or questioning their results/doctors recommendation. All I am staying is diabetes is not reversible but can only be controlled. Hirap na hirap ka kasing intindihin un
Deletewow, his glucose is freakin high
ReplyDeleteUy grabe taas ng glucose reading nya. I'm type 2 diabetic too, sadly nasa family history talaga. Nakakainggit those who can eat whatever and not worry about their blood sugar rising. But ganun talaga, mine started as gestational DM sa second child ko. Controlled naman na now, I'm glad to have a good endo doctor.
ReplyDeleteIngat Sam
Type 2 din ako. Sa low carb talaga swak. Pero nung nanganak na ako, hirap but breastfeeding help a lot din.. controlled naman sugar ko..ung rice lang naeliminate ko...d ko pa kayang magbalik low carb kasi wala na ung taga bake ko..
DeleteI'm still breastfeeding din, still taking meds kahit normal na fbs ko.. binabaan lang dose ng meds ko kasi may episodes ako ng hypoglycemia. My dad died of DM complications kaya nakakapraning. He was taking meds since he was in his late 20s. Though agree ako sa ibang comments here na lifestyle disease talaga sya. Though hindi narereverse, it can be controlled
DeleteAging din plays a big part. Especially sa mga menopausal women. Nawawala na yung protective function ng estrogen sa body.
DeleteSymptom rin parati kang inaantok at parang pagod kahit nagpahinga ka na buong araw.
ReplyDeleteYes, yung kahit wala ka namang ginawang nakakapagod maghapon pero bakit parang pagod na pagod ang katawan mo
DeleteNaku i remember when i had gestational dm kahit awayin ako ng asawa ko wash the dishes bahala xa sa buhay nga nakakapagod maghugas ng plato mamatay xa sa galit hindi ako kikilos
DeleteLow Carb and IF ang sagot. Kaya ireverse ang diabetes. Kung di ka nga mahilig sa sweets eh makanin, tinapay, pasta, pizza na starchy (starch is equivalent to sugar) tapos fruits ang tataas din ng sugar nun. Pinakasafe na fruits ay Avocado and Berries. Mali ang thinking na fats ang may kasalanan. Sugar ang salarin tropa pa yan ng cancer.
ReplyDeleteYou can't reverse diabetes. You can only control it. Syempre if you go low carb or fasting talagang bababa ang sugar mo. Pero once kumain ka ulit ng carbs at di na magfasting, tataas ulit sugar mo. Kung nareverse mo talaga siya eh kahit anong kainin mo, dapat mababa pa din sugar mo. Kaso hindi. So hindi mo talaga siya nareverse. Na control mo lang.
DeleteMag fasting ka papayat ka nga. Magkaka gallstone ka naman. Low carb high fat ka, atherosclerosis naman kalaban mo. Balance diet dapat
DeleteNot advisable ang IF lalo na diabetic. Babagsak ang sugar niyan. Very dangerous.
Delete10:33 It's reversible. You're putting a wrong connotation here.
DeleteKapag borderline DM, possible. Yes, cancer loves carb/sugar.
Delete12:13 ikaw nagsspread ng lies. Reversible tapos?!?! Wala kang ngang nilagay na explanation eh. Kasi wala kang malagay. Nag provide ka lang ng conclusion. Hindi reversible ang diabetes, nacocontrol lang. Dahil low carb ka nga at nagfafasting so natural mababa blood sugar mo. Subukan mong kumain ng carbs at sugar tataas pa din yan. Wala ka namang explanation sa mga sinabi mo, pinipilit mo lang reversible period. Sus! Research ka din pag may time
DeleteThis. Hindi cya reversible talaga! You can just control it through diet and lifestyle. Wag din ma bisyo like alcohol at yosi. You can manage it naman pero wala cya cure.
DeleteThis is why advocates of low carb don’t call it diet. It is a lifestyle. To say na pag kumain ka ng sweet food and carbs tataas uli or babalik true naman yan. But this concept stems from an ignorance of the body’s metabolism, of how your body uses the energy derived from such. Yes. Type 2 diabetes is reversible kung mero kang disiplina at self control.
DeleteYou can only reverse type 2 diabetes if you are borderline diabetic, its at the onset and hindi ka pa diagnosed because there are other factors why you might be getting high bloog sugar on your tests such as obesity. But once you are diagnosed you cant go back.
Delete341 paulit ulit kayo sa reversible wala naman kayong maprove na point. Dahil kung nareverse niyo yan kahit lumamon kayo ng matatamis at carbs hindi na yan tataas. -- Just like a person with normal blood sugar does. Kasi nga may sira na beta cells niyo. This stems from ignorance of how diabetes destroys beta cells and makes a diabetic insulin resistant. You still don't know how it works. Un sinasabi mong metabolism, I will put it correctly masyadong vague un iyo, or burning sugar while exercising pwede yan sa pre diabetic. Pero sa full blown diabetic it won't work anymore. Ignorance is not bliss
Delete341 Pinagsasabi mong ignorance of the body's metabolism? Eh yan na nga si Sam perfect example, nag eexercise pero nagka diabetes pa din. Hay nako ginagawa niyong ignoramus mga tao
Delete10:33, I can't help but comment dun sa understanding mo about reversible. Esp dun sa sinabi mo na if true reversible, kahit anong kakainin mo, dapat do na babalik high blood sugar mo or essentially diabetes. Think of like remission sa cancer.You may be cancer-free now pero it might recur again in the future. Yes, hindi di siya curable. Everyone, I'm sure can agree to that. But you can go back to clean slate, start anew. This time, limit or avoid mo na what brought to to become Type 2 diabetic in the first place (Type 1 is totally different) and the health complications that come with it. Isn't that hopeful? Na with changes and commitment to a healthy diet and lifestyle puwede maging ok ulit.
DeleteNo. High blood glucose can also be triggered by stress, anxiety and even pain. Hindi lang pagkain. It can’t be reversed. Ang impairment ng diabetes ay ung production ng insulin sa katawan mo. So kahit controlled mo yan there is still a high chance na tumaas ang sugar mo because of other factors. So once you’re diagnosed to have it, hindi na sya marereverse. You can only control it.
DeleteGrabe! Hindi ba uso ang annual check up sa kanya? For me, its basic na dapat may ganun ka lalo na marami naman siyang pera.
ReplyDeleteSadly di uso sa Pinas lalo na mga wlang pera at insurance tinitiis nalang or wait na lumala. For sure may pera naman si Sam so I can’t think of any reason na di sya magpa annual check up, minsan ksi pag lam mo healthy ka at wlang nraramdaman dedma ang mga annual PE which is not good. Dito sa US nala sched ang annual PE kaya di pede ma miss, tatawagan ka, or email to remind you
DeleteGirl healthy lifestyle nga sya. Di sya mahilig sa matamis. Kahit ako nagtataka kung saan galing ang diabetes nya.
DeleteMukhang healthy living naman kasi sya, at bata pa.. so low risk talaga..
DeletePinapaabot ni Sam sa yo ang paumanhin. Pasensya na daw. Ang galing nyo daw po.
Deletepossible na he does but hindi na included sa pina-screen niya since healthy living siya and no family history
Deletealso, most APEs ng mga company hindi rin kasama ang checking ng blood sugar and cholesterol, ang usual checks lang ay CBC, urinalysis, xray, and physical exam.
Healthy living is not an excuse for skipping annual physical exam…
DeletePwedeng tamad sya magpa annual exam. Parang ako.
DeleteBasic ang FBS so to answer the question of annual check up, ako na sasagot. Hinde!
Delete12:16 sa urinalysis, diba may mga factors dun like RBC, WBC, ketones etc? isa dun is Glucose at kapag mataas siya, i believe sinasuggest na ipacheck na ang blood sugar.
Delete10:31, galing from carbs. Carbs convert to sugar. Perhaps he is fond of refined carbs. Baka like nya mga bread, pasta, unli rice. The body converts carbs to sugar. There’s now a different paradigm about Type 2 diabetes and that paradigm is backed by science.
Delete3:10 not really, possible na normal lahat but dun lang nalabas pag nag ogtt, hba1c, and fbs. ganun yung nangyari sa akin, normal results but since may pcos ako and i usually feel exhausted before and during my period, my ob recommended na mag undergo ng tests to screen for diabetes.
DeleteI bet one million on this, hindi siya nagpapa annual check up, even never. So nagulat talaga siya. FBS is so very basic blood test
DeleteIt can still be reversible or it can go into remission. Read Dr. Jason Fung's books and also research about magnesium especially glycinate.
ReplyDeleteYou don't reverse diabetes 😭 we were all misinformed!
DeleteOnce a diabetic is always a diabetic. All you have to monitor is your A1-C. I know people in pinas only monitor glucose level and so ignorant what A1-C is. Totally misinform
DeleteSorry pero sobrang outdated talaga ng knowledge ng tao dito sa Pilipinas. Sorry 9:53 pero di nila naiintindihan yung sinasabi natin especially the Low Carb movement. Good luck na lang sa kanila.
Delete1239 I know Dr Fung and sinasabi mong LCIF but then again diabetes can only be controlled but not reversed.
DeleteMy gosh. Paulit ulit kayo. Are you even MD/DO? Endocrinologist ba kayo? Lakas maka sabing outdated ang Pinas. I’m from the US and working in the medical field. No way you can reverse it. You can only control it. There are other factors for blood sugar to spike not just food intake!!!!
DeleteNormal range is 70 - 100. Dapat nasa ER na siya and given insulin shot sa ganyang kataas na reading. It can cause ketoacidosis which is for ICU and life threatening.
ReplyDeleteNot ketoacidosis but HHNS. Ketoacidosis is for Type 1. Anyway, get well soon, Sam. Manageable naman ang DM with proper diet, treatment and exercise.
DeleteFasting blood sugar un below 100
Delete1146, it can also occur in type 2 but less common.
Delete11:46 we still admit type 2 DM patients na nag ka DKA sa ICU. They can also have it
DeleteSam is type 2 diabetic means it can be reverse or controlled unlike type 1 mahirap
Delete11:46 ako si 10:01, nagka ketoacidosis ako just recently kaya alam ko. Ikaw naexperience mo ba? Kung maka correct ka sa comment ko akala mo tama ka. Tseh!
Deletegosh. 267 ang pinakamataas ko so far and when I got it, alarmed na alarmed na ako. tapos sya 525? *himatay*
ReplyDeleteTake care Sam. I am still hoping na kayo pa din ni Cat sa dulo.
ReplyDeleteHe posted it for us to be aware. Like he said healthy lifestyle nya pero magkaroon pa rin syà type 2 diabetes. But I think type 2 diabetes can be reverse. Kayang kaya pa Yan Kasi last year lang sya na diagnosed
ReplyDeleteNo, you cannot reverse diabetes. Puwedeng i-manage at i-control, pero nandiyan pa rin iyan.
DeleteIt's less manageable than type 1. Yess it can be controlled na walang complications, Dami nagcomment sa kanya na Hindi nagmaintenance
DeleteType 2 diabetes can be reverse. Kaya Yan ni sam, may pera naman sya
ReplyDeleteHindi lang laging nauuhaw at naiihi but frequent hunger too (polyphagia). He found out in the nick of time.
ReplyDeletesuper tagalog ang caption nya. wala lang shock lang ako!
ReplyDeletepara ngang hindi sya baka hacked account, let's see
Delete12:55 Pinagsasabi mong hacked? Check the comments section of this post and you can see him interacting with the commenters in ENGLISH. Porke nag tagalog, hindi na agad siya? Mema much.
DeleteMas shocking pa talaga yung pag gamit niya ng tagalog kesa sa sugar value? Goes to show how so inferior we consider our mother tongue is! He’s been living in the PH for so long so nararapat lang din siya magsalita ng straight tagalog noh.
DeleteMaiba ako. Nakakatuwa na tagalog yung caption nya. Baka he intended to post this for everyone’s awareness especially followers nya
ReplyDeleteAng dami ng cases ng diabetes at high blood pressure sa pinas, kahit bata pa.. worse nagddialysis.... ano kayang plano ng dept of health natin
ReplyDeleteKaya nga. Nilakihan yung sessions ng dialysis pero sa prevention WALANG GINAGAWA
DeleteWala to each his own pagdating sa prevention.
DeleteIt's cause our diets are messed up. I dunno when it started, but for some reason we have all forgotten how to cook real filipino food. I came across lumpia queen's channel at iba pang mga content creators who misrepresent filipino food and it adds up kung bakit nagkakasakit tayo. Our diet used to be relatively healthy and balanced, but now our cuisine is known as a greasy, sugary mess with ultra processed ingredients.
DeleteThat number is ER bound… my hubby is type 2 but anything 400 and above we rushed to ER.
ReplyDeleteCurious lang, kung walang family history ng diabetes at healthy lifestyle siya. Saan niya nakuha yang type 2 diabetes?????
ReplyDeleteHindi siguro totally healthy lifestyle. Baka mahilig pa rin sa matatamis, alak at iba pa
Deleteprocess food, chips, unhealthy carbs. boba, ice tea, frapp, etc. anything na may mga matataas na sugar. Fruits is ok, but not too much din lalo kung may DM ka na. I remember we had a pt, nilantakan nya 1kg ng napakatamis na lanzones, she ended up with DKA.
DeleteBaka mahilig sa fruits, milk tea at yung mga kape sa coffee shops. We had a patient who kept drinking canned pineapple juice dahil akala nya healthy. Bumaba nga cholesterol nya to normal range pero nagka-diabetes naman sya.
DeleteMga protein shakes which aren't exactly protein but sugar
DeleteAvoid carbs/sugars fruits included. Carbs ang kalaban hindi meat/animal fats.
ReplyDeleteNo good doctor will tell you to avoid carbs or fruits. What a good doctor will tell you is to regulate your carb intake.
DeleteIt's ok to eat carbs kasi need ng katawan but hindi na unli rice. Pag bigla ka umiwas sa carbs, bababa bigla sugar mo. Wiich is equally dangerous too.eat in moderation. Reading all the comments here make me having my anxiety back! Lol. Brought my husband at the ER and na ICU pa. Recovery period din mejo nakakatakot. Good thing paumpisa pa lang pandemic nun at di pa ganun ka busy ang hospitals. God is so good!
DeleteThere are a lot of good fruits our there like grapes (reservitol), pineapple (bromelain), cherries (anti-inflammatory, good for gout), etc. Key is, moderation and eating them in natural state. Wag ng haluan ng ano-ano. I eat avocados as is na, without cream or condensada.
DeleteCarbs are not inherently bad, especially fruits. If you completely eliminate carbs totoo na hindi tataas ang blood sugar but that will never address insulin resistance--you still need to be eating carbs na high in fiber to improve insulin sensitivity...kaya bihira ang mga doctor na magrerecommend ng keto diet. Refined sugar and processed foods ang harmful, especially when combined with a meal na mataas ang saturated fat.
DeleteHealthy lifestyle is a relative term :) :) :) I can be vegan by just eating potato chips and banana Q everyday ;) ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember a friend of mine. Diet daw siya do she eats only veggies daw. Minsan lunch niya French fries 😆
DeleteOMG that is so high
ReplyDeleteAng taas niyan - more than 4 times sa max normal sugar level (120). :-( Delikado sa atay yan.
ReplyDeleteKidneys as well
DeleteKidneys and blood vessels and arteries
Delete29 major organs to be exact
DeleteSorry pero people are so misinformed here. You can reverse your diabetes by doing low carb. Akala nila normal lang ang pagkain ng high carb lifestyle kaya nasasabi nilang irreversible siya. Read the history on why we are advised to eat carbs in the first place and you will be shocked. Again, diabetes is a LIFESTYLE disease.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I reversed my type 2 diabetes. No longer taking medication. From taking insulin and metformin to not taking any of those medications at all now. Diet and exercise.
DeleteI agree!
DeleteIkaw ang misinformed. Hindi mo nareverse. Na control mo lang. Kasi hindi ka na nga kumakain ng asukal at carbs. Try mo kumain ulit at tataas yan. Kasi nga hindi mo totally nareverse. Na control mo lang.
DeleteIt is irreversible but you can be on remission
Delete+1 2:48am
DeleteI think yung word na reverse is in the context of going back to pre-diabetic or normal blood sugar condition. Of course, it makes sense to keep off the foods and habits that led you to becoming fully diabetic. Wala naman nagsasabing, may magic bullet that will make it go away completely. But at least, you can now live in lesser risks from the dangers of its complications like heart and other inflammatory diseases.
DeleteIs this the original post or auto translated version? I went to his IG and noticed that his caption is written in english naman. Kaya pala madami ang shocked na tagalog ang caption, turns out to be auto translated lang.
ReplyDeleteUnang kita ko sa post ni Sam tagalog talaga. 10mins palang napost. Ngayon pag check ko oo nga english na Lol!
Delete1:35 Same! Taglish na ngayon ang naka post hahaha. Sinilip ko din sa fb may mga naka screenshot din na tagalog ang caption ni Sam.
DeleteI think original post. Saw this earlier wala pa dito at nagulat rin ako na tagalog ang pagkakasulat
DeleteGot curious and checked his IG. May nag comment if na hack daw ba ang account hahahaha. Windang din siguro bakit nga naman tagalog eh known na inglishero ang Sam.
DeleteStop dining in restaurants, cook your own food to have ingredients in check.
ReplyDeleteThis!
DeleteStart learning to cook and bake, too. Iwasan din overly processed foods. And doon sa mga pre-diabetes pa lang, try to read The Magnesium Miracle. It might help you prevent na maging full blown diabetes.
DeleteBinabasa ko pero nadidinig ko boses ni Sam.
ReplyDeleteStress a common factor. Hindi lang food intake and genes.
ReplyDeleteSoooo true! Stress and overthinking
DeleteBaka nasa lahi, or stress can spike glucose din. Hrabe taas ng sa kanya.🤯
ReplyDeleteThat is very high.
ReplyDeleteI heard about Okra water. Good daw sa pre-diabetes. Has anyone tried it?
ReplyDeleteBakit naman ilalagay mo pa sa tubig? Kainin mo na lang. Nung mahirap pa ako at estudyante, yan kinakain ko lakas ko pa magkanin. Wala akong diabetes. Ngayon pre na. Letse talaga
Delete@3:11But can you eat okra on a daily basis? I think mas realistic yung inumin sya daily. Hope somebody can provide a logical & personal experience info.
DeleteKasalanan din ng pharmaceutical companies. Used to be normal bs is 80 to 120. Now its 80 to 110. So halos lahat pre diabetic and gives them the reason to prescribe meds.
DeleteKainin mo na lang ang okra at ampalaya, mas ok pa siguro.
DeleteYes, 8:20, better nga kainin na lang. Consume more malunggay din and drink guava leaves tea. I was able to keep my blood sugar that way.
DeleteTrue 7:35. Kahit nga pre-diabetic pa lang, binibigyan na agad statins instead of advocating lifestyle and dietary changes muna.
DeleteStatin is not for diabetes. It is for high cholesterol. And pag pre-diabetes pa lang di pa bininigyan ng maintenance like metformin pero sa Pinas binibigyan na I think.
DeleteInsulin Sam and u will be 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteI read the comments and am really glad that there Are readers who follow the LC lifestyle. I have been doing it for 7 years. Yes. Diabetes is reversible at dun da nag comment to read Dr Jason Fung, classmate tayo dahil I read all of his works. I listen to his podcasts and that of othet low carb doctors. Dun sa mga may doubt pa listen to podcasts on iPhone, Spotify or even sa you tube ng mga doctors who follow such lifestyle.
ReplyDelete3:57, ako yung nag advocate reading Dr. Jason Fung. Yan din nakatulong sa husband ko with his NASH. With lifestyle and diet change, naiwasan niya mauwi sa cirrhosis ang condition niya. And to those who are in the same boat, drink black coffee 3 or 4 cups a day with a Mediterranean diet. Turo yan mismo ng 2 specialists niya here sa Canada. Also doon sa pilit ini-insist that reversible meant puwede ka ng bumalik sa dating gawi like eating all the carbs and sugar you want without affecting your blood sugar, that's not how it works. It meant going back further to pre-diabetes to normal blood sugar state but KEEPING the healthy lifestyle and diet you have made to remain in that state. This time, with the healthy choices and habits para hindi na ulit mapunta sa high blood sugar. I was able to do that and yes, yearly din akong nagpapa-check up as I'm already in my 50s and menopausal na din. And for those who are suffering na din from high cholesterol and hypertension, consider donating blood. May tulong ka na sa iba, it's also beneficial to your health. I'm a regular blood donor now and managed to stay off statin medications.
DeleteWhen he said he shldve had it checked when he was younger is the current state ng most Pinoys coz walang health insurance na mandatory (or close to it) ang yearly physical.
ReplyDeleteIt’s reversible for T2 with lifestyle change, diet and discipline. There are a lot of studies on it available online (free info). Im not promoting any specific diet but whatever works for your body - it’s all about the balance. Our bodies will react differently to certain foods, what’s good for you may not be good for me and vice versa. Please educate yourselves, especially sa Pinas, we tend to miss getting annual check up kse not everyone has access to good healthcare. Punta lang sa doctor pag may nararamdaman na sakit. By the time na malaman mo too late na or your blood sugar is out of control na.
ReplyDeleteThis 🙏🏼
DeleteHe is a health buff and yet DM still hit him. DM can happen to anybody. Diet restriction/in moderation is a must
ReplyDeleteSasbihin nila walang diabetes mga tao noon but before rarely do people get checked. Diabetes can lead to a lot of problems too like heart disease, kidney ad liver disease. A lot of diabetic patients are also on dialysis. So stop na sa mga unli na yan at yan ang magiging unli way nyo to heaven :)
Ang taas.sakin 183
ReplyDeleteLook at his eyes he looks sick nga
ReplyDeletewhen taking fiber with or immediately after a meal, pag may bad carbs like white rice or white bread or regular pasta (a normal serving), the fiber will slow digestion and most likely, you will avoid a sugar spike. fiber examples are wheat bran, oat bran, psyllium husk, etc. downed with lots of water. this is my own journey, sumunod ako sa cdc recommendations (see below). i selected one soluble fiber (oat bran) and one insoluble fiber (wheat bran). i started with small amounts, di pwedeng biglaan, always during or right after mealtimes. then added a bit more each week till i reached the recommended amount per day. this works for me, as the cdc predicts, but **your mileage may vary** lalo na if you have a genetic predisposition. CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
ReplyDeletei just think of them as my dessert, and the price to pay kaysa magka problema sa sugar. nice bonus yung napakadaling magbanyo! kaya laging nalilinis ang colon. oat bran also helps regulate bad cholesterol. this is what i read:
https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/features/role-of-fiber.html
Increase your magnesium.inrake na din. It can be found in green, leafy veggies. And lakad lang kahit 30 mins daily. Do so yoga or other weight-bearing exercise. No need to enrol sa gym but develop a routine lang na laging gumagalaw. Even the simple act of using te stairs instead of elevator.
DeleteApparently veggies-->protein-->starch works as well to curb glucose spikes cause as 9:14 said, yung fiber forms a mesh that slows down carb absorption. They also found na walking after a meal also lowers bg in a significant way.
Deleteako last year (Dec) ko din nalaman na diabetic na ako.. although sugar ko ay nasa 108 lang, kaso hba1c ko ay 7.5... lahat ng symptoms ng heart attack na feel ko talaga and panic attack.. mag isa lang ako sa apartment kaya nag joyride ako papuntang hospital mag isa ng madaling araw.. nag ecg test ako negative naman daw at blood strain ang reason ng pananakit ng dibdib ko at balikat, tapos un nag palab test ako at diabetic na nga... ung sakin hirap na ko sa naramdaman ko, what more pa kaya ung kay Sam Milby.. Kapag diabetic na tayo iwas na po sa sugar talaga ( sweets, rice, pasta etc)
ReplyDeleteTrue. And even if prescribed ka ng medication, that doesn't give you a pass to revert to your old diet. Marami akong naririnig, yun ang laging dahilan, may gamot naman daw eh. So sige lang, enjoy pa tin sweets at unhealthy carb choices.
DeleteI want to be checked right away...kht wala ko ng symptoms ni Sam.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Prevention is better than an ounce of cure.
DeleteRamdam ko si Sam. Recently sa APE ko I found out na may hypertension, type 2 diabetes at fatty liver na pala ako. Last year normal pa lahat ng laboratory/bp ko. Im just 39. Huhuhu. Tipong di ko alam kung san naggaling gayong di naman ako nagbago ng lifestyle
ReplyDeleteYung commenter dito na nag pupumilit na hindi na rereverse ang diabetes at na ko control lang eh mga doctors na mismo ang naglabel nyan na reversible. Natural pag bumalik ka sa bad eating habits takagang babalik yung diabetes. Semantics lang yang reversible vs control. Yun namang magsabi na ikinatalino lo pag banggit ksy Dr Fung and Dr Westman yan po ay suggestion at hindi pagmamayabang. Just cited some references na credible. Suggestion lang sa mga classmates na gusto ng additional info about diabetes, low carb and intermittent fasting. At yung commenter about mentioning metabolism. Ang metabolism po involves biochemical reactions. Conversion po ng mga kinain nyo into energy in layman’s term. Yang energy na yan is used for cell and tissue repair. Also wala pong essential carbohydrates pero merong essentisl fatty acids and essential amino acids (from protein). The preferred energy source of energy in metabolism is fat and not carbs. Hindi po ito pagmamayabang ng ka alaman. Dagdag info lang po sbout metabolism and how the food that we eat is converted to energy and or stored as fat in the liver amd adipose tissues. Anong kinalaman ng diabetes? Malaki po. Magbasa ma lang po. Ang paradigm po ay diabetes is one of those metabolic syndromes. Member jan ang high blood pressure, heart disease at marami pang ibang sakit. Yan po ay galing sa John Hopkins Hospital. Wag po mag bash. Saliksikin nyo po ang metabolic syndrome.
ReplyDeletepaulit ulit ka. di sya reversible and that's it.
Delete6:26 tama si 3:48 except sa part na fat ang preferred source ng energy. As far as I know it's definitely glucose. Nagbabago na yung understanding sa diabetes and more and more experts are starting to claim na it could be reversible. Isa sa mga compelling na discussions about this is yung kay Dr. Lustig at Dr. Means.
DeleteThats weird. Usually DM TYPE 2 is associated with obesity and Sam is fram from that. And 525 is way too high, sana nag pa check sya for DKA na rin. Baka Type 1 ang sakit nya at hindi type 2.
ReplyDelete"Usually". But type 2 diabetes can still occur in people with normal BMI. Unusual but still very much possible.
DeleteI thought of that, maybe he had DM Type 1 and was not diagnosed sooner. Usually DM 1 starts from childhood but people don't get diagnosed until they are in their teens like Gary V. I have a friend who is a doctor and he found out he has DM Type 1 when he was already in his 40's. He is suffering form both diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy but lucky to be still alive.
DeleteDM 2 is reversible if caught in early stage and treated with either metformin with consistent changes in lifestyle ie exercise, diet, stress management, etc. 500 is way too high. He might have been super stressed lately. Also, if he was type , he would have had symptoms earlier in life. A1c is better predictor of glucose control.
ReplyDeleteDaming matalino sa pinas! Alam lahat! Matatalino pa sa real life doctors, dami din recommendations and suggestions. Sana ol!
ReplyDeleteExercise and diet. Bawasan ang unli rice
ReplyDeleteLiving healthy at nag exercise siya then nagkaroon siya malamang sa protien shake yan.
