Low-Carb Diet vs. Low-Fat Diet — Jessica’s Experience (T1D)
Learn this ancient Diabetes Miracle!
Low-carb diet is the most common diet recommended to people living with diabetes. This includes people living with type 1 diabetes. In this video, Jessica shares her experience of following a low-carb diet and how that lead to insulin resistance. She shares how she reversed the insulin resistance with a low-fat diet.
I’ve recently become a student of the ketogenic diet. My wife has type 2 diabetes and the keto is working well for her. She is not on insulin but is on metformin and could be taken off at any time. I’ve recently come across your videos. I’m intrigued. Are we missing something in spite of her good numbers?
I’m so glad you commented. Kudos to your wife for taking the effort to change her diet and stay disciplined. Your question is spot on. Achieving good diabetes numbers on a ketogenic diet does not necessarily lead to the best overall health. Your wife would fail an oral glucose tolerance test and is technically insulin-resistant. I suggest checking out two free resources below to fully educate yourself on the plant-based perspective.

That s amazing ?
binge watching 🙂
How much does exercise affect insulin sensitivity? And do you need less insulin when working out ?
Great to see someone do so well and manage diabetes a lot better!
Thanks a lot Alex, she is doing a great job and loving life
This is incredible. I’m currently living her life before the diet and I can’t believe it.
Amazing. The change in insulin sensitivity that she is experiencing is definitely higher than normal, but We regularly have clients increase the insulin sensitivity by 4-10x. This could be you!
awesome video!
All raw? Does cooked work also?
Yes, the majority of our clients include low-fat cooked meals. Refer to this video t see the foods we recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KWAgKR9JBE

I did the low carb stuff recently and my carbs were 75g with insulin totaling 70 units. Dropped the fat and protein, upped the carbs and within 3 days I ate 500g of carbs and 66 units of insulin and I’m still obese, so it’s still gonna get better.
