12:00 am
on the front, on the left and i was told time after time after time there is no such thing as a diabetic diag just whatever the standard diet is and you've been getting here just keep giving are the most important thing is learning how to control with insulin, so when we were in the hospital, i remember them saying eat whatever you want and goes for it. and actually his 1st meal in the hospital was a breakfast burrito, cuz i like that's a, that's no cards. so we'll have to go see for that. but then he wanted to cookies and after every oh yeah, i think he's and we left the hospital with him being over 300 still my entire nursing career. this is how we've done. i knew that my patients at my job a whatever they want it. and we just gave them this one scale. i knew that their numbers were 2 or 300. i knew that that was the norm. that was the diabetic community for most medical doctors,
12:01 am
including the nutrition education is at the very bottom of our list of things that were taught about in medical school. most doctors and most medical school educators are new maniacs. but everything new, the burning technology, new research. if you start talking about a dietary intervention, that's 250000 years old. everyone at the table size one glass of or because that's a new, you can't get a patent on it. big se manufacturers are not interested in that at all, or no $1000000000.00 drugs. they can be fashions. i'm talking about nutrition. so you can't make any money on a nutrition idea that hundreds of thousands of years old. the governing bodies put those recommendations out, forces positions to live within those guidelines for fear of reprisals. and if you don't follow the guidelines as a doctor,
12:02 am
you can open yourself up to that occasion to. so there's a, there's a dual problem where not only the doctors never learn how to control blood sugars, they don't learn about proper nutrition. but even if they do, they're essentially forced to follow these incorrect guidelines. obviously incorrect guidelines in the recent position statement regarding management of diabetes for type one children. the american diabetes association failed to have a section dedicated to their food or diet, which are the main contributors to high blood sugar levels, which are responsible for diabetes complications. the lifestyle management section notes. there's no single ideal dietary distribution of calories and carbohydrates, fats, and protein. so for people with diabetes,
12:03 am
i see these barrett groups. there's a lot of pair of groups out there that these people are, they're not even diabetic. and they're sitting there like given advice, right. and hey, you know what your kids numbers don't matter, doesn't matter. so good. so you can go in there. you can share your graph to your 400. everybody a patio in the back and say, hey, you know what? you know, thoughts and prayers go out the way a new spring when you're shorted why kate's or your kidney fails to sponsor personal mean anything about the don't you go online and facebook? so probably a lot of people on social media. you see them stuff like this. she won't have any energy unless you give them carbohydrates. your child will resent you for the rest of his life. what kind of mother are you to deprive your child of a childhood? he's not going to learn as well. he's not going to grow, you have to have sugar for your body to metabolize energy. and if they don't have the sugars, then they won't grow. that's what you're told over and over. i'm been researching
12:04 am
for over a year, a low carbohydrate die. it's grossing shows. i'm and i printed out over 60 articles that talk about proteins, not carbohydrate drugs, long bone growth in children's people have suggested to patients and their family, but carbohydrates are required for growth. totally falls down to where that believe comes from. our body can produce all the glucose and main spring, gluco neo just the this model exist where being a kid is cupcakes or k to pizza and all that crap. right? but as you know, a t one young kid. if you're not feeding them protein and vegetables and keep in the blood sugar, which is never going to grow to his f. nighttime
12:05 am
isn't particularly scary time for parents when they have a child with diabetes, because that child goes well they can go to that's what people are afraid of with young children. they fear that low blood sugar seizure coma. that's the scariest. it's a median. it happens overnight, so i think people think if you give your child carbohydrates, you're going to somehow help with that. but the truth is, it's the large dose of insulin, you're given your child that puts them at the most risk. the only reason a child has a low blood sugar is because there's too much insulin in their body. these very companies who are supposed to be helping us and you know, advocating for us. and during this break, the, they're, they're putting their name on stuff that basically causes complications. the,
12:06 am
the, the families are given a cookbook. and it features, characters that children might see on morning cartoons. and each character is presenting a recipe to that child or to that mom. and these recipes are full of carbohydrates . and one of them that i recall was the recipe featuring a magical character that my, both of my sons love. and it was for pumpkin waffles. and i think just for the waffle, it was something around $44.00 carbohydrates, and that's without adding syrup. so if you give your child a waffle in some syrup for breakfast, that's like 80 some carbohydrates, a disaster. the drivers, teens of the pink panther, sas carp, dining and handling works. we just kinda did what they told us, you know, base. i remember our cd side. she can eat whatever she wants. as long as she covers
12:07 am
and highs are not a big deal as long as you catch them. so, you know, don't worry about spiking after meals with her, as long as you're not staying up there and you're catching them and bring them back down. and that was kind of when we were time there's another publication given to us by of the american diabetes association. and it has a page where it's trying to do a little mess busting. and one of them is, you know, it's a method that people with type one diabetes can't eat sugar. now, why? when they're given such a platform and such an ability to reach people. why would you not say at that moment? it's better for people with type one diabetes to completely avoid sugar. it's just an, a wasted opportunity by a big governing body that called a lot of power with these new families. that's basically the education that we got
12:08 am
a crash course in cobb county ratios. how this one was supposed to move the glucose into a cells, and it all had to do with his carbohydrate intake. we were told that he can eat, you know, cheeseburgers and fast food and that these things wouldn't change because he was type one diabetic. if i wanted to have them brown and i wanted to sit down and actually calculate how many real carbs are in there, and how if it's white, sugar or brown sugar or oats, or whole grain, whatever. you wanted to calculate all of that accurately based on grams and glycemic index, and how it's working in my body. and if i worked out and if i slept well, and if i'm in a good mood or a bad leader, and if i have insulin on board, go for it. most people don't have time. they just take a random ratio informed the car ratio that they are in the chronologist set. 6 or 8 months ago hasn't been tweet hasn't been changed and they take a brownie and their blood sugar still goes high carp counting as
12:09 am
a method to manage diabetes. a slide for many reasons, but one of the most obvious that i hope anyone can grass is that the ca allows food manufacturers to be off and they're carbohydrate counts on their labels by plus or minus 20 percent. so even if you are the most advert curve counter and you waste food and you measure it, the fact that the label itself can be often account will set you up for for failure . the heat is estimated to over 415000000 people are living with diabetes all over the world today. in the united states and estimated $35000000.00 diabetic patients spend over $330000000000.00 per year on care making diabetes. the most
12:10 am
expensive chronic disease and the con street global insulin sales are currently near $20000000000.00 per year. and costs are rising. if i got big adopted in low carbohydrate diet, there was a multiple $1000000000.00. they found the corporations that were go bankrupt. the corporations, this thing is dire financial straits if they are not able to rise the backs of the banks anymore. industry once us buying their products. pharmaceutical companies once us buying their products as well. so when we're paying for carbohydrate food and we're paying for big amounts of insulin, those companies are thriving. this is every person with type one diabetes, reduce their amount of insulin. by 65 percent. someone is going to feel the sting of that. the very 1st time i went to cbs and bought novolog for $400.00. your
12:11 am
heart is trying to figure out how in the world are you going to sustain this lifestyle to keep your child alive. this is what's needed for life, and it's insanely expensive. the i go to the refrigerator and i pull out the file of snowfall locks to get sierra her morning dos and haven't had coffee yet. and i was still sleepy. and i fumbled with the insulin and it shattered to the floor. and i cried. buckets of chairs, $400.05 saving madison on the ground. or we could continue doing this. how can any family afford to keep their kid alive? no parents ever have to think about that.
12:12 am
this is a 24 hour a day roller coaster. this isn't the kind of ride you take a break from this day and night and we were desperate for something else in the hospitals. we started doing research. and on the internet doing a google search, we kept saying the same doctor bernstein, bernstein, and dr. bernstein. dr. burn sir, dr. burns burns beams. i read bern seems book and really got my blood sugars under, under control to non diabetic levels. i remember the dates that i searched the symptoms because it was a couple of months after the animal i'm was dropped late. 1946 diagnosis diabetes. we had to use reusable syringes and loose which we sterilized in boiling water. if it cooled off, we'd assemble it and the needles would get dough. and we had to sharpen the needles
12:13 am
. we had to palm this stone and you run the needle on the pump, the stone and get rid of the hooks. you didn't know what your blood sugar level was . most of the time, it was either very low, very high, and my low blood sugar's, or a constant problem from the family. and it happened that i was working for a company that made clinical laboratory equipment. and i saw an ad for a sweet pound device that could be used in emergency rooms to distinguish unconscious, strong from unconscious diabetics by the blood sugar is it said, if i knew my blood sugars, i'm an engineer finding my blood sugars, i could do something about them, so i ordered a meter and started measuring my blood sugars. the
12:14 am
we have this to boom on tenderness in the united states. we've exported it now to the world because of multi national corporations. and we've then damaged the belief that the baby's needs being nurtured and cared for and loved. and, and so you've got a whole bunch of traumatized people all over the world with post traumatic stress disorder that don't know how to keel the in the early days had a very creative lunch. peanut butter, mayo,
12:15 am
and tune on date not thread. i found that the highest blood sugars were after lunch . so i said, well, if lunch is the biggest culprit, it must be because of the carbohydrate. so i'm going to eliminate the bread and eliminate the peanut tighter. and i'll just have the tune of fish and mail and a solid whammo. the amount of inch when i took for lunch dropped dramatically. and the blood sugars after lunch became predict. i decided that the point that i had to get this information out and that the doctors would bend over backwards. so the 1st thing i did was approach my own doctor who is present to the american diabetes association. and to certain people come to me once a month for blood sugar. if they could measure with themselves, i'd have no patients, no one would come to see me. i wrote a,
12:16 am
it was like a cookbook. step by step, what do you do to have normal blood sugars? if you're a type one diabetic, i submitted it to many made medical journals. annual rejected the show. i decided i would go to medical school to get an m d f. and therefore, be able to get published. i was diagnosed with age 12 and life expectancy for type one diabetic was 30 years and i'm 86 right now. exceptions. i've made this this just by to read
12:17 am
the sufficing situation just made sense to me. you know, he was, he was the 1st diabetic that we know of that checked his own blood sugar. now every diabetic checks are on blood sugar. the he was able to realize by blood sugar is directly affected by the food. sorry. this shouldn't be a big surprise, right? by reducing his carbon tag, he was able to significantly stabilize the swings in his blood sugar over time. and that, that made a lot of sense to us. and we said, well let's, let's give this a shot. or the,
12:18 am
i couldn't leave the reduction insolence instantaneously. you started to notice the blood sugars coming on down. and so here we cannot continue giving those large doses of insulin because your low car as they go, i talked to dr. barm's they are is the $45.00. the other is limited to 6 months and it keeps my biggest states lowest. he's not biding high. she has a straight the positive. what we found is that we found some really amazing recipes in the foods were eating. now, on this low carbs restriction, are some of the richest and most delicious place that we've ever,
12:19 am
even before. the, we make low carb ice cream, make low car pizza. we make low car cupcakes. there's low carb desert. there's all these little countries that you can eat, you don't feel deprived. there's nothing that i can't eat. you just have to change the speed. the lay of the chart in our kitchen that has all the dinners that we have sort of the week. so whatever is on there, it's the dinner always consists of the protein salad, some type specials, the, [000:00:00;00]
12:20 am
the whole family's health care. now that we've all changed our diet to adapt to what memories. uh, it's easier for me. i cook one meals, it's simple cooking. it's natural, it's easy to find a simple site taps and vegetables and throwing some meat on the grill and salad, and maybe a low carb treats. we have this moniker now that we're the low car of and mean i'm also low alcohol. i mean, i'm also low drugs. i mean there, so it's, it's kind of a mixed up name, i think because we don't say, oh, i'm high car honey. nobody says that i the way that i think our disease dictates which is carbohydrate intolerance. the why is this not something i knew before? i like i'm a dietician. i went to school for that and i've had diabetes for you know, 20 plus years. yeah. i've never heard of this in my life. i
12:21 am
decided to give it a shot. my in so it needs to have my blood sugars, a like, rarely, over 120 any more. changing my, died to a low carb diet, made my blood sugars so much easier to control. i wasn't needing to count as high, you know, as taking these lower doses of insulin is much, much lower doses of insulin, the one year for now. you know, eating this way. no part. and you know, very happy to say that give you a disease, going the meds that they were given me for that no more not even needed for my end . no neuropathies hearts in great shape. a soft. this is a how it used to be. and now this is how it is being a type one diabetic doesn't really define who i am and all i've gotten so good at
12:22 am
and managing myself over these last couple of years that it isn't really a problem at all for me at this point. so i'm at a party all you to hammer without a bond. no one cares if i you know, i pizza without the cross underneath. and it's, it's not a big deal. 10 years ago when i started eating low car, it was really tough to get low car portions at dinner. or you know, all the fries can be broccoli instead. now it's like very, very common restaurants. understand stores have low car products. it's much much easier the cake, but we make a little curve cake. so what did we make for your birthday? my mud pipe. a low carmine pile the for breakfast just about everyday we on bacon and eggs we saw to them and rich butter. this is not a brooklyn. this is
12:23 am
a wesley family issue with bird with ease me eating. she has to be an example for your time. the next few 1018 harvard university. let a team of doctors and sciences to study the low carbohydrate diet and its effect on type one diabetic. the the findings were unprecedented. the very low carbohydrate diet resulted in non diabetic blood sugar levels. fewer hypoglycemic events. and that's risk of hospitalization. in a marked improvement on mental health, the instead of just anecdotal evidence, there is now a collection of scientific data that proves part of the dr. bern schemes. diabetes solution, the fuel cards equals fewer complication. we
12:24 am
know what we're doing on a daily flush and arranges in the ninety's sometimes in the eighty's. the reward is that isn't on the kid. since doesn't feel as i've been is nearly as much as we do as it stands. and for as long as i can do it, i want to make sure that this happens we would not have complications, normal issues where life back and that's exactly what we do. the
12:29 am
i. ready need the, the russian states never as tight as on the phone in the most sense, community best english, all sense and up the, in the system to progress be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say it's
