let’s talk about if fasting is actually healthy for a diabetic did you realize that 20% of all healthcare spending in the US is targeted to diabetes and diabetic complications now there are some mixed reviews that state that it’s 10 percent some experts say that it’s 20 percent regardless if it’s 10 percent or 20 percent it’s a lot of money that’s like 350 billion to 700 billion dollars a year spent on diabetes that is crazy now in the US alone we have 84 million people who are a pre-diabetic and 30 million who are diabetic and I would venture to say that there’s probably at least a hundred and fifty million that have insulin resistance that are on their way to becoming a pre-diabetic and still there is no agreement on the best diet for type 2 diabetes amongst the medical experts now why is that well I’m just gonna just draw a little connection right here guys I think I think you’ve got the hint right there right you know why and as far as medication goes with diabetes there’s two main mechanisms one is targeting insulin resistance with metformin which is probably one of the most popular medication and then you have other medications okay this is an example that will increase insulin okay so those are the two main mechanisms the problem is that these medications have a special warning black label they actually increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality by 59 to 68 percent now wait a second wait a second doesn’t make sense to me isn’t the goal when you manage diabetes to keep you alive longer well apparently not apparently the goal is to manage your blood sugars to make sure your blood sugars are normalized well this is what you need to realize high insulin is just as damaging as high blood glucose so yes we need insulin and we need normal insulin but we don’t need tremendous amounts and anytime you’re trying to solve a problem with a solution to handle maybe blood sugars yet that solution is giving you a bigger problem then you need to really evaluate what’s going on now that foundation leads me to the main topic which is fasting for diabetes okay so what is the data and I put some links down below this is fascinating if you combine therapeutic fasting and no we’re not talking about starvation we’re talking about controlled fasting where you’re making sure you have all your nutrients okay so you’re taking supplements and vitamins because the problem with diabetics is they’re very very deficient in nutrients because they have insulin resistance so they can’t really absorb it so you’d want to give them nutrients while they’re fasting so therapeutic fasting while the person’s on a low-carb diet produces some really amazing results okay within four months no need for insulin so I’m gonna put the link down below so you can read the case studies and other studies on this decrease in a1c decrease in waist size number form able to control your blood Sugar’s now why does fasting work for diabetes simply because it decreases the need for insulin okay and if the need for insulin is not there the pancreas doesn’t have to work so hard so the cells that make insulin finally have a chance to rejuvenate okay because the real problem with diabetes is the high sugar and also the beta cell and the pancreas that produces insulin that’s working so hard around the clock to be able to regulate the high glucose that’s coming from your diet okay so the combination of decreasing the need for insulin by both of these actions right here low carb and fasting are extremely therapeutic versus treating the person with something that increases insulin well now we know why it creates problems because the side effects from too much insulin are just as bad as too much glucose so if you are a diabetic I would highly recommend you look into doing therapeutic fasting with a low carb and see if it can work for you thanks for watching so if you want more knowledge on how to create a healthy body subscribe now and get daily notifications
