Treating Diabetes with Dietary Changes

[TheAnnafisher]

1 womb 1 heart 1 love 1 life thank you not only is it safer it's CRUELTY-FREE!

[bloozedaddy]

eat as much grains as you can...we all know that for hundreds of thousands of years early man walked around in fields of wheat and corn and just started chomping down on the whole grains.......BWAH! Of course a vegan diet is healthier than a really bad diet of processed foods...but you can eat a VERY healthy diet with meat and natural carbs AND fats....which I prefer since it's not so fricking boring as an all veggie and grain diet. To each his own I guess.

[TheTrickzta]

Herbs, Diet,& EXERCISE say NO to drugs.

[palmostositive]

a change in diet can cure "aides." steve, are you willing to fight the big pharma and fast food? go for it, brother. i'll march with you.

[look4ansers]

3:40 bacon & eggz and toast for breakfast? Thats your problem DUDE!!! the toast thats what was raisng your blood sugar so high. HEY PEOPLE WAKE UP!!do some research you will find that specific foods have speific reaction to your blood sugar ie. potatoes, corn, fruits, dairy, white& wheat bread which also has GLUTEN. Also not all food plans fit all people,some do well on low carb, others do well on low fat, not one diet/food plan fits every single person. Thanks for listening to my rant.

[RandyBful1]

I can't remember the last time I heard a doctor mention ANYTHING about diet. Their answer to EVERYTHING is drugs, drugs and more drugs! Screw Big Pharma! They're the worst criminals on the planet! If you want to be healthy, stop eating processed and fast (same thing) food, lower your intake (or elliminate) read meat and exercise regularly (including cardio). This isn't rocket science. The fast food giants have you brainwashed. Research Monsanto and learn how they're poisoning the food!

[indigobeauty1]

Great video Thank you for sharing!!! being vegan is amazing. Spiritually i have become so much aware of all the help the universe sends. i'm more aware of subtle energies, i have become more sensitive and creative. More energy and i for once enjoy being here on earth. 1LOVE

[tommyk77]

@indigobeauty1 The first two sentences made me smile, but I wish more people were vegans for rational reasons. There are too many vegans that are into the new age rubbish, I think.

[indigobeauty1]

@tommyk77

yeah i agree. people i feel should stick to whole foods and eat unprocessed foods, but i am happy to see people being vegans new age rubbish or not. peace

[tommyk77]

@indigobeauty1 Yeah, I came to veganism through learning about skepticism and philosophy, so I don't have the new age baggage. Quite lucky really. It would be great if the other vegans had the same interest, because then we can argue our case well and take the best course of action :-)

[Dolphindream15]

I have diabtes but because of my other medical problem I cant follow the normal diabtic diet I have to have the extra calories to keep my weight,,very hard for me,,all I can do is hope for the best,,

[lordgeneral9]

Thank you very much

[89111350079]

There's nothing like veganism. I love it.

[marcluc1988]

My dad has diabetes type II but I know I'd have fuck all chance of getting him to become vegan.

[tommyk77]

@marcluc1988 Use the guilt argument. It's the most powerful, even if it seems the most offensive

[bleedblue83]

Get this - I had a physical the other day, and my blood pressure and BMI were completely normal, and I asked my doctor was this because of my vegan diet, and he didn't know what a vegan was! I repeat - A DOCTOR did not know what a vegan was! I had to tell him, and let me tell you, I felt really awkward and uncomfortable explaining to a doctor what a vegan is. It juts shows the ignorance of the medical industry.

[RandyBful1]

@bleedblue83: No surprise there. Most doctors are so clueless, it's pathetic. They're all funded by corporations and Big Pharma!

[tommyk77]

@RandyBful1 Step out the bubble and learn how science actually works.

Thanks.

[RandyBful1]

@tommyk77:...not even worth trying to explain to zombies like you!

[tommyk77]

@RandyBful1 Lol, not worth it, or you can't? I used to think like you do, but then I scrutinised my beliefs.

[TWI08]

I find it hard to believe that a vegan diet can help diabetes since eating even the healthiest carbs makes me drowsy and lethargic and Im not even diabetic although both my parenst are diabetic

[BaloneyCrit]

This was taped back in Fall of 2007. These participants are likely all thinner now. I know because I was one of them. I'm now 35 lbs lighter and both faster and stronger than I was then.  Vegan diet should be more widely used to treat heart disease and type 2 diabetes as well as for normalizing BMI.

[circlestream]

my grandpas nurse encouranged my mom to guilt me for bringing fresh juice that i juiced from organic fruits at my house. about the "danger" of high sugar!! then she goes and buys him a meat lovers pizza ( he has heart problems by the way too) medical people are corrupt

[buddhah3art]

cirblestream it is sad indeed the extent of medical corruption. but remember too that many doctors and nurses just don't know better. they only know what they have been taught.

[PRASFB]

Being vegan is how my dad controls his diabetes. He's on no meds now.

My blood sugar issues disappeared when I became vegan. I'm vegetarian now since I have trouble staying away from cheese.

[ernietube1]

I suggest you give the idea of Glycemic Index a wide no go. In fact, so called low GI foods such as fruit are more harmful to a diabetic as they tend to keep the blood sugar levels elevated over a longer time. ALL carbohydrates need insulin to cover high blood sugar levels.

Insulin dosage is usually estimated by the amount of DIGESTIBLE carbohydrate NOT including fiber or so called

soluble fiber. See my video-

GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

[dogsarebetter]

Complex vegan carbs like Fruits,whole grains,and agave nectar have a low glycemic index.

[PROFLOP1]

Sorry diabetics, this is a very dangerous, out of date concept.

High sugar, high carbohydrate diets are NOT for people with high blood sugar problems.

Think of it this way- you need to take insulin to keep your blood sugar levels near normal. The more carbohydrates you eat, the more insulin you need to take. Logically, eating low carbohydrate diets is a far better approach- See-

diabetes-book(dot)com

[dogsarebetter]

Well processed simple carbs yes but whole grains and fresh fruit? I don't see how thats bad since the fiber in the whole grains and fruit binds to sugars and carries them out of the body.

[utyriiii]

Eating vegan does not automatically ensure a healthy diet. There are plenty of vegans and vegetarians who have lousy diets, full of processed foods, fats and oil.

The diet has to be low fat (<10% of calories from fat) and consist almost entirely of whole plant foods.

This vid does a good job of showing the type of foods necessary to be eaten for a healthy lifestyle.

[lovekisslaugh]

yuummmm masala dosa ( they rolls on the plates)3:30 giant lentil pancakes filled with protein and low in fat.

[foodmatterstv]

Check out the new documentary on diabetes at foodmatters[dot]tv

[dogsarebetter]

I LOVE this video. I could watch it over and over again. I don't know why.

[Minyadagniriel]

its inspiring :D

[ElizahMunroe]

Guess it's different for everyone.. I've been vegan for a year and developed diabetes and lost no weight doing so.

[dogsarebetter]

maybe you only eat processed and cooked foods.

[lololeela]

You can be a vegan and still eat unhealthy. Does your diet mainly consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, and grains? Or is it mainly pre-packed, processed foods? You may be correct, though. I'm just asking out of curiosity.

[BaloneyCrit]

Right on!

Chips and pop can be a vegan diet, but you'll become unhealthy on it.

For diabetes, a wide variety of greens and beans are the best way to go.

[redlotus138]

drinking fresh squeeze pestcide free bitter mellon juice and cumcumber juice everyday will cure Diabetes

[chixnuggets]

wow, i can see your pecker

[seenote0]

The best prevention/possible cure is the stevia plant and pure 100% caffienated coffee.

[ernietube1]

It is very interesting to see that a very vocal "expert" on diabetic diets has gone "low catb". See Mendossa-

Diabetes Update Number 114: Low-Carb of January 1, 2008.

Also he recommends Dr. Bernstein

Dr. Bernstein's next LIVE Tele-Seminar is Wednesday, July 30, at 8:00 PM EST, 7:00 PM CST, 6:00 PM MST, and 5:00 PM PST.

Hope for diabetics yet

[ernietube1]

Glycemic Index is based on faulty science. The basic chemistry they used in determining GI is not correct. Please see-

GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

Just copy and paste into SEARCH box.

Glycemic Load is based on DIRECT measurement of the glycemic response to a known weight of test food. No calculation or estimation of GI from apparent weight of contained CARBOHYDRATE is needed. Although the GI Researchers can't or don't want to understand this, it is a fact

[CanadianBeaver]

PEACE and LOVE!

[zeldorfy]

this will not cure the genetic type diabetes. I really wish it did! i am diabetic so I know it won't.

[heiligenbamm]

Yes, I must agree with that. even though I would advice everyone to go vegan, for health and ethical reason, I must say that Diabetes type I is geneticly, even though it can better your health condition your still depending on insulin. But for Diabetes Type to, it occures out of sincere bad Eating habbits, with a simple choice like switching to vegan you can recover completly

[palaterodeland]

The entire "modern epidemic" of Type II is the biggest lie ever pulled over the eyes of the sheepish public. The "disease" and the "treatments" have been professionally designed, packaged and sold to the masses by big pharma for big dollars. I cured my Type II by stopping the intake of processed foods and replacing them with raw foods & some cooked fish. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. I still eat carbs, just healthy ones, no junk food ever.

[UrDoinItWrong]

You don't even need to eat fish, and will get better results if you forsake ALL animal products.

[vegansnowboarder]

Right on! This video says what people need to know!

[travelingvegetarian]

Great info. Thank you for posting this!
