this is cool information intermittent  fasting could replace insulin for diabetics  

type 2. now the difference between  a type 1 and a type 2 diabetic  

is in a type 1 diabetic they’re lacking insulin  okay so the cells in the pancreas called the beta  

cells are not able to produce any more insulin so  there’s nothing to keep their blood sugars down  

so they have massively high blood sugars  so they’re going to need insulin okay  

in type 2 we have a different situation we have  insulin resistance which initially makes the body  

produce excessive amounts of insulin okay but it’s  not being effective it’s not working because it’s  

being filtered by the receptors that are not able  to pull it into the body so we have a situation  

we have a lot of insulin in the body but it’s  actually not working okay and that’s why the  

blood sugars go high so there’s two different  mechanisms now in time when a type 2 diabetic  

with insulin resistance progresses the beta  cells in the pancreas start becoming exhausted  

and we have a situation where that high insulin  hyperinsulinemia becomes less and less and less  

and less and to the point where they  are now deficient in insulin as well  

and so some of the type 2 diabetics will then  be given insulin in addition to their other  

medications now what is the problem with this the  complications the side effects from high sugar  

are very similar to the complications and side  effects of high insulin so ideally if you’re a  

type 1 diabetic or a type 2 diabetic where you’re  on insulin the ideal situation is to take the  

least amount possible because of all the problems  that come with high levels of insulin like macro  

and microvascular problems in other words there’s  problems in the arteries with circulation as well  

as in the tiny blood vessels to the nervous system  so you start getting neuropathies like diabetic  

neuropathy you start losing sensation because  the nerves are dying because they’re not getting  

the vascular supply so high sugar destroys uh  circulation or blood vessels to nerves and this  

happens in the eye happens in the kidney happens  in arteries it happens in the brain and so there’s  

a lot of complications with insulin resistance  high insulin and even low insulin because now we  

you need to give the person more insulin to  control the blood sugars and then also this  

other hormone that opposes insulin that’s being  produced by the pancreas and it’s called glucagon  

so anytime we have um increase of insulin we’re  gonna have low glucagon any time insulin goes  

down now glucagon goes up okay and there are a lot  of side effects from higher levels of glucagon so  

this video is about a very interesting case study  with three patients now it’s not a lot of patients  

but it’s a reflection of what i’m seeing  out there in the community of people  

who are insulin dependent type 2 diabetics  because i’ve heard time and time and time again  

if these patients start doing intermittent fasting  and they start going on low carb they do very well  

so this is what they found in this case study  this case study demonstrated the effectiveness  

of therapeutic fasting intermittent fasting  this is fasting done on a regular basis  

to reverse insulin resistance resulting in  stopping insulin to control blood sugars  

they’re also able to lose significant weight in  their midsection and also lower their a1c levels  

now the most noteworthy outcome was the  complete discontinuance of insulin in all three  

patients now two of the patients were able to  completely eliminate all their medications in  

addition to insulin and one of the patients  was able to eliminate three of the four  

medications now this is very important information  if you’re a diabetic on insulin either a type 2  

or type 1 the ideal situation it would be to take  the least amount of insulin and you know the more  

carbs you eat the more insulin units you need to  take so it would make common sense to lower the  

amount of carbohydrates and you can do that with  intermittent fasting or going on keto and both of  

these actions are going to greatly reduce the need  for insulin so you can take less now when the need  

for insulin goes down that’s going to alter your  blood sugar so definitely work with your doctor if  

you’re doing this don’t do this by yourself but  i see this date in the future becoming the norm  

because it’s so effective using intermittent  fasting to help control your blood sugars  

and the need for taking insulin now if you’re new  to my channel and you want more information on  

exactly what to eat and how to do intermittent  fasting i put the link down below check it out  

hey before you go if you’re benefiting  from any of my content i would love
