hey so today we’re going to talk about

intermittent fasting and diabetes is it

safe is it dangerous should you do it

well if you actually pull up on Google

data on this you’re going to see that

certain articles and videos will say

it’s not good to do this there’s other

diets that are better because they’re

trying to avoid something called

hypoglycemia this really dangerous side

effect but let’s just take a look at the

whole picture okay first of all what is

diabetes

it’s hyperglycemia it’s high sugar okay

hypoglycemia is low blood sugar the

purpose of the medication that a

diabetic takes is to lower blood sugars

and as one complication of this

sometimes the medication can drive the

blood sugars to low and you end up with

hypoglycemia and so they give you these

little sugar pill especially if you’re a

type 1 diabetic now when you do

intermittent fasting you basically

decrease the need for insulin okay you

decrease the need for medication for

diabetics now if you actually continue

to take the same medication okay and do

in a minute fasting at the same time you

are going to have problems because it’s

going to drive your blood Sugar’s too

low but the goal I would think which

makes total logical sense is to be able

to decrease the need for medication

right without make sense decrease the

need for metformin for insulin and other

diabetic medications that would be a

good thing because even insulin has side

effects when you take too much insulin

and by the way the insulin that a

diabetic is taking is not the same as

your body is supposed to produce it’s a

genetically modified version of your own

insulin and that’s a whole other topic

but the point is that there are side

effects from taking too much insulin

okay even if it’s regulating your blood

sugars I mean look it up yourself I’ll

put a link down below so you you can see

this but when a diabetic type one for

example

consumes a large carbohydrate meal

they’re gonna need more insulin to deal

with that excessive car

right but they don’t consume as many

carbs they’re gonna need less insulin

when you do in a minute fasting the

Nitra insulin goes down now the question

is it dangerous

well it’s only dangerous if number one

you don’t do it gradually and you don’t

adjust your medication you don’t get

help from your doctor to make those

adjustments with the quantity of

medication so when you’re doing in a

minute fasting and you’re eating less

carbs the need for this medication goes

down make the adjustments you’ll have

you won’t get hypoglycemia now your

blood Sugar’s will come down but you’re

not going to feel bad because you’re

gonna actually your body’s gonna be

running on ketones and fat fuel and less

blood sugars so even if your blood

sugars are let’s say for example 70 or

even 60 and you’re feeling fine

so you really have to look at the whole

picture and understand what’s happening

and not just kind of think with high

blood sugar and low blood sugar so in

reality intermittent fasting is not only

an essential part of healing the

pancreas but giving you the potential to

come off your medications of course with

the help of your doctor all right I’ll

see in the next video
