I was told time after time after time that there is no such thing as a diabetic diet. Just whatever the standard diet is and youve 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, 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 was like, thats a, thats no cards. So we dont have to go see for that. But then he wanted to cookies and after every meal yeah, i think the keys and we left the hospital with him being over 300 still my entire nursing career. This is how weve done. I knew that my patients at my job a whatever they want it, and we just gave them the sliding 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, 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, thats 250000 years old. Everyone at the table size one glass of or because thats a new, you cant get a patent on x. Big, same manufacturers are not interested in that at all, or no dollar drugs. They can be fashions. Im talking about nutrition. So you cant make any money on a nutrition idea thats hundreds of thousands of years old. The governing bodies put these recommendations out, forces physicians to live within those guidelines for fear of reprisals. And if you dont follow the guidelines as a doctor, you can open yourself up to that engagement to. So theres a, theres a dual problem where not only the doctors never learn how to control blood sugars, they dont learn about proper nutrition. But even if they do, theyre 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 either food or diet, which are the main contributors to high blood sugar levels, which are responsible for diabetes complications. The Life Cycle Management section notes, theres no single ideal dietary distribution of calories and carbohydrates, fats, and protein. So for people with diabetes, i see it in these barrett groups. Theres a lot of pair of groups out there that these people are, theyre not even diabetic. And theyre sitting there like given advice, right . And hey, you know what your kids numbers dont matter. Doesnt matter. So good. So you can go in there. You can share your graph of your 400 everybody a patio in the back and say, hey, you know what . You know, thoughts and prayers go out to my new spring. When youre shorter, why kates or your kidney fails. His thoughts and prayers dont mean anything about the dont you go online and facebook. So probably a lot of people on social media. You see them stuff like this. She wont 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 . Hes not going to learn as well. Hes not going to grow. You have to have sugar for your body to metabolize energy. And if they dont have the sugars, then they wont grow. Thats what were told over and over. Ive been researching for over a year, a low carbohydrate die. Its grossing shows im and i printed out over 60 articles that talk about protein. Not carbohydrate drives, long bone growth and shoulder, and people have suggested to patients and their family. But carbohydrates are required for growth totally falls down to where that belief comes from. Our body can produce all the glucose names from gluco neo genesis the this model exist where being a kid is cupcakes or pizza and all that crap. Right. But as you know, a t one young kid. If youre not feeding them protein and vegetables and keeping the blood sugar, which is never gonna grow to his f. Nighttime is a particularly scary time from parents when they have a child with diabetes because that child goes level. So they can go to thats what people are afraid of with young children. They fear that low blood sugar seizure coma. Thats the scariest. Its a medium. It happens overnight. So i think people think if you give your child carbohydrates, youre going to somehow help with that. But the truth is, its the large dose of insulin, youre given your child that puts them at the most risk. The only reason a child has a low blood sugar is because theres 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, theyre, theyre putting their name on stuff that basically causes complications the, the, the, so 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 childs 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 mice and both of my sons love. And it was for pumpkin waffles. And i think just for the waffle, it was something around 44 carbohydrates. And thats without adding syrup. So if you give your child a waffle in some syrup for breakfast, thats like 80 some carbohydrates, a disaster. The drivers, teens of the pink panther, sas that carb downing 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 and highs are not a big deal as long as you catch them. So, you know, dont worry about spiking after meals with her, as long as youre not staying up there and youre catching them and bring them back down. And that was kind of when we were talking theres another publication given to us by of the American Diabetes association. And it has a page where its trying to do a little mess busting. And one of them is, you know, its a mess that people with type one diabetes can eat sugar. Now, why . When theyre given such a platform and such an ability to reach people. Why would you not say at that moment . Its better for people with type one diabetes to completely avoid sugar. Its just a, a wasted opportunity by a big governing body that holds a lot of power with these new families. Thats basically the education. Now we got a crash course in carved county ratios. How the insulin 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, you know, cheeseburgers and fast food and that these things wouldnt change because he was type one diabetic. If i wanted to have a brownie, and i wanted to sit down and actually calculate how many real carbs are in there, and how if its white, sugar, brown, sugar, or oats, or whole grain, whatever. You want to calculate all of that accurately based on grams and glycemic index, and how its working in my body. And if i worked out and if i slept well, and if im in a good mood or a bad mood, and if i have insulin on board, go for it. Most people dont have time. They just take a random ratio informed the car ratio that they are in the chronologist set, 6 or 8 months ago hasnt been tweak, hasnt been changed and they take a brownie and their blood sugar still goes high carp counting as 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 fda allows food manufacturers to be off in their carbohydrate counts on their labels by plus or minus 20 percent. So even if you are the most avid curb counter and you way 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 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 low carbohydrate diet, there was a multiple 1000000000. 00, big family corporations that were go bankrupt operations. This thing is dire financial straits if they were 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 were paying for carbohydrate food and were paying for big amounts of insulin, those companies are thriving. If 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 no blog for 400. 00. Your heart is trying to figure out how in the world are you going to sustain this lifestyle to keep your child alive. This is whats needed for life, and its insanely expensive. The refrigerator and i pull out the file of silverlock to give sierra her morning dose and had to have 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. 00 of our lives, saving madison on the ground. Or we could continue doing this. How can any family afford to keep their kid alive . No parents never have to think about that. This is a 24 hour a day roller coaster. This isnt the kind of ride you take a break from this day and night. And we were desperate for Something Else and hospitals we started doing research. And on the internet doing a google search, we kept seeing the same doctor bernstein, bernstein, and dr. Bernstein. Dr. Burn, sir, dr. Burns burns, things i read very seams, book and really got my blood sugars under, under control, to non diabetic levels. The, i remember the dates that i searched the symptoms because it was a couple of months after the animal im was dropped late 1946 diagnosis diabetes. We had to use reusable syringes and needles, which we sterilized in boiling water. If it cooled off late december, and the needles would get dough, and we had to sharpen the needles. We had to pump this stone and you run the needle on the pump this stone and get rid of the hooks. You didnt know what your blood sugar level was. Most of the time it was either very low, very high, and my low blood sugars, or a constant problem for 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, im an engineer finding my blood sugars, i could do something about them, so i ordered a meter and started measuring my blood sugars. In the the the early days had a very creative lunch. Peanut butter, mayo, 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 im gonna eliminate the bread and illuminate the peanut tighter. And ill just have the tune of fish and mail and the salad where im on the amount of inch when i took for lunch dropped dramatically. And the blood sugars after lunch became predict i decided at that point that i had to get this information out and the doctors would bend over backwards. So the 1st thing i did was approach my own doctor whos present to the American Diabetes association. And people come to me once a month for blood sugar. If they could measure it themselves, id have no patients knowing come to see me. I wrote a, it was like a cookbook. Step by step, what do you do to have normal blood sugars . If youre type one diabetic, i submitted it to many Major Medical journals and theyre all 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 im 86 right now. Thats and i made to just by to read 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 the blood sugar. The he was able to realize by blood sugar is directly affected by the food. Sorry. This shouldnt be a big surprise, right. By reducing his carbon tech, he was able to significantly stabilize the swings in his blood sugar overtime. And that, that made a lot of sense to us. And we said, well lets, lets give this a shot. Or the, i couldnt leave the production 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 little car as a go i talked to dr. Barms, they are is the 45. 00 the it is limited to 6 months and it keeps my baby states. Shes on friday. Shes on friday. She has a straight the policy what we found this epic bouncing anything amazing recipes and the foods were eating. Now, on this low carbs restriction, are some of the richest and most delicious place that weve ever, even before. The, we make low carb ice cream, make low carb pizza. We make little car cupcakes. Theres low carb deserves. Theres all these little car please that you can eat. You dont feel deprived. Theres nothing that i cant eat. You just have to change the speed. The lay of the chart in our kitchen that has all the dinners throughout the week. So whatever is on there, its the dinner always consists of the protein salad, some type specials, the, [000 00 00;00] the whole family is health care. You know that weve all changed our diet to adapt to wherever, if its easier for me. I cook one meals, its simple cooking. Its natural, its 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 were low car of and mean im also low alcohol. I mean, im also low drugs. I mean theres, its, its kind of a mixed up name, i think, because we dont say, oh, im high car. I mean, nobody says that its a way that i think our disease dictates which is carbohydrate intolerance. The why is this not something i knew before . Like im a dietician. I went to school for this and ive had diabetes for you know, 20 plus years. Yeah. Ive never heard of this in my life. I decided to give it a shot. Me and so it needs kind of half my blood sugars. I like rarely over 120 and youre changing my diet to a low carb diet. Made my blood sugars so much easier to control. I wasnt needing to count as high, you know, as taking these lower doses of insulin is much, much lower doses of insulin. The im on your floor now. You know, eating this way. No clark and you know, very happy to say that Kidney 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 self. This is a how it used to be. And now this is how it is being a type one diabetic doesnt really define who i am at all ive gotten so good at and managing myself over these last couple of years. That isnt really a problem at all for me at this point. Its not a party all you to hammer without a bon. No one cares if i you know, i pizza without the fact across the internet and its, its not a big deal. 10 years ago when i started eating low car, it was really tough to get low carved portions at dinner or, you know, pulled the fries, give me broccoli instead. Now its like very, very common restaurants. Understand stores have low car products. Its much, much easier. The weight cake, but we make a little curve cake. So what did we make for your birthday . My blood pipe. A low carmine pile the for breakfast just about everyday we are bacon and eggs we saw to them and rich butter. This is not a group litigation, this is a wesley family issue with ease me eating. She had to be an example for your time. The in 2018 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, the very low carbohydrate diet resulted in non diabetic blood sugar levels. Fewer hypoglycemic events. Thats the risk of hospitalization, and a marked improvement on mental health. The is 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 know what were doing on a daily splash and arranges in the ninetys sometimes in the eightys. The reward is that isnt on the kid. Since doesnt feel as ive been is nearly as much as we do as far as i can do it. I want to make sure that this happens we would not have complications normally, seriously wireless and thats exactly what we do. The the, the, the the, the, the, [000 00 00;00] the, the mom, the. Ready the all. Ready the, the, the, the the, the, the, [000 00 00;00] the, the, the molly, im looking at process and the news yet it was little confusing.
