all right so someone had a question can

I do Kido and intermittent fasting if

I’m a diabetic on metformin and insulin

at the same time okay now I don’t know

if this person is a type 1 or type 2

chances are you’re a type 2 going into a

type 1 eventually but here’s the

difference type 1 is a problem with the

pancreas not producing insulin okay type

2 is more of a problem with the receptor

end not receiving insulin and the

feedback goes back and causes the

pancreas to produce more insulin to

compensate so it’s a compensatory

adaptation type thing okay so you have

higher amounts of insulin but both of

these situations type 1 and type 2 have

high blood sugars okay so metformin

makes the receptor more receptive to

insulin and insulin just gives you what

the pancreas is not providing the body

but the problem is Bureau type 1 they’re

giving you insulin your instance is

going to be high now because you’re

going to be taking insulin to control

this out-of-control blood sugar so in

both of these conditions you have high

sugar and high insulin okay at the same

time now it’s more dangerous to have a

high insulin than it is to have high

sugar there’s more problems sustained

high levels of insulin destroys the the

retina the kidney the arteries the brain

now of course high sugar will do it too

but high insulin creates even more

destruction so the goal is to take the

least amount of insulin possible right

makes sense so if you’re a type 1 maybe

your cells are completely destroyed of

any chance of recovery but we still want

you to take the least amount of insulin

possible so it would make sense to avoid

the triggers of insulin okay

unfortunately the American Diabetes

Association does not recommend what I’m

gonna recommend but there needs to be

more focus on the diet and the frequency

of eating because reducing your

carbohydrates and doing an amount

are the two things they’re gonna allow

the person to take the least amount of

insulin okay and it’s also gonna help

improve insulin resistance which will

take the stress off the liver and the

cells so this is that’s the long answer

but the short answer is yes you can do

keto in um and fasting if you’re a

diabetic on metformin and insulin and

hopefully you can work with your doctor

to have them wean you off some of these

or the at least the amounts so you can

have the least amount of side effects
