Thanks for this video, Dr Berg. You wouldn't believe (well, actually you probably would) how many doctors think that you can't be type 1 and type 2 diabetic at the same time. I've had the absolute worst advice thrown at me to treat my diabetes. I told them I can't follow their protocol because I have insulin resistance - they told me I must take regular meals with carbs and to balance it with the appropriate dose of insulin. They also told me I need to take statins, and blood pressure meds. None of which I really needed. They said they wouldn't be held responsible if I ignored their recommendations. I told them I won't be back because they are ignorant and negligent on keeping up with recent medical findings. Ever since I stopped listening to regular doctors, my life has changed enormously for the better. And I have people such as yourself to thank for opening my eyes to the reality of my condition and how to manage it. Btw, I regularly do prolonged fasting. It's no problem at all. In fact, diabetes is never easier to manage than when you aren't eating! I did 7 days no eating last week. Easy!

@@lawdogwales5921 I did actually! Day 4 is probably the best feeling day: you're in solid ketosis by then and your body has made a lot of adjustments. Energy is constant. You don't get tired at all. Similar for day 5 and 6 - although if the weather is cold it can make it harder to stay warm. A fast in warm weather is easier than a cold weather fast, but I would let it stop you doing it. It almost felt like a shame that I had to start eating again. It's nice to be freed from the burden of food for a while. There was some hunger at times, but not obsessive hunger. I could choose to ignore it and do other things.

Hi @max steel , I've tried it both ways - drinking and non-drinking - and also dry fast for 4 days, then start drinking after that. I think fat loss is increased with dry fasting because your body will metabolise fat in order to release water from the fat cells. Did I feel shaky? No, not really. Do you need take insulin? Yes, you do need insulin if you are a type 1 diabetic - and possibly some type 2 diabetics too. Insulin an important metabolic hormone that is needed even when you eat no carbohydrates. It's a relatively small dose when doing prolonged fasting though. Do I take glucose? The only time I ever took glucose was if I miscalculated my insulin requirements - which I grant you, requires an eagle eye to get right because your insulin sensitivity is changing across the trajectory of your fast. Even so, most of the time even though my doctor would have said I was seriously hypoglycaemic, as a fat-adapted keto-dieter, I was just fine even with readings of 2.5mmol/l. I would eat a jelly bean or two if it got lower than that though. In general, I found that my body was able to raise blood sugar on its own most of the time - that is, gluconeogenesis from protein. Why do you need to start eating after 7 days? Not because of hunger per se, basically because of nutrition. I don't do longer than 7 days because I feel that I don't want to be without essential trace minerals and vitamins for too long. I also don't want to break down my muscle tissue to feed my fast. I think that 7 days is safe for me. I haven't noticed any muscle wasting from 7 days. Hope that helps!

I watched this just to see if he'd tell you the truth or not. Because he didnt actually touch on extended fasting I will tell you what you can here to learn. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I have extended fasted multiple times. Extended meaning fasting for anything longer than 3 days. I have fasted anywhere from 1-7 days multiple times and Ive fasted for 2 weeks the first time I ever fasted. What happened when I fasted for 2 weeks on just water and nothing else was that my blood sugar was insanely stable, and my sugar is never stable. Sometimes it would go a little low if I did excessive exercise but when that happened Id just lay down and wait for my blood sugar to come back up. You liver releases sugar into the blood to raise blood sugar, just like a normal person. So you don't have to take anything to raise your blood sugar, your body does it naturally with the liver; just like the pancreas lowers sugar levels. If you don't have a healthy liver then you can just take glucagon shots while fasting which will trigger the liver and raise your blood sugar. On my 2 week fast I cured myself of 3 different diseases, edema, hyperthyroidism, and myasthenia gravis through a process called Autophagy which Dr. Berg has talked about on this channel. It cleans up the body but to see results like a "cure" you need to do an extended fast of multiple weeks, which is why I did the extended fast in the first place. So to answer this videos original question, yes you can do a prolonged / extended fast as a type 1 diabetic, and no you don't have to take anything during the fast except insulin / glucagon to maintain your sugars. You don't want to be eating anything with calories like a glucose tablet to raise your sugar because a glucose tablet has 15 calories per tablet and calories stop autophagy from working and it needs to restart again 24 hour later. So a glucagon, insulin, a glucometer with test strips, and spring water are all what you want to use when doing an extended fast as a type 1 diabetic.

Shocking advice! You don't need to do anything except reduce your insulin dose a bit so you don't have the hypos. Also, what a doctor calls a hypo and what really happens to somebody who is fat-adapted are two different things. When I'm in ketosis, I can cope with very low blood sugar levels without any mental confusion because my brain is operating on ketones. I would say hypos are less dangerous in general if you are fat adapted because your body won't go into emergency mode due to running low on glucose. You can then calmly respond and bring your blood glucose into your target window.

I have benefited greatly from your information and encouragement. Keto and intermittent fasting has made a big difference for me in reducing insulin resistance and the amount of insulin I need to take. As someone dealing with autoimmune condition this has also been helpful in reducing inflammation. If you have any specific tips regarding diet, nutrition and exercise for us with T1D to help keep a healthy body and manage glucose levels and autoimmune reactions this would be much appreciated. A specific question I have is regarding optimal blood glucose control target and range: is it better to aim for a lower rather than higher average, even if it’s within an acceptable range? What kind of damage does hypoglycaemia cause? Some endocrinologists recommend keeping your glucose levels a little on the higher side so as to avoid hypos, but I’m not convinced that’s a good approach. Do you have any info on these topics?Thank you so much Eric!

I would say if you don’t have your a1c below 5, you’re obviously doing something wrong. My average blood sugar is around 90 and my fasting is 83, just like a normal non diabetic in top tier health. Dr Bernstein elaborates on that subject, but I’m just 3 months, I went from a 15.5 to 5.0 a1c. I studied and now I don’t even really have to think. I know how food will affect me, glycemic index factored in as well. Trial and error, piece of cake. I also know exactly how to adjust insulin perfectly to where I stay in the range of 80-130. My time in range in those parameters is over 95%. So if you are struggling, I’d say you really didn’t put in the work. I’ve never seen an endo and I never will. They want you to suffer so that you keep going to them, but a general practitioner can write the scripts for you. Endos also give hormones to trans and I’ll never get behind the chemical castration and destruction of Gods design, abominations those docs are for the most part. My quick progress stunned professionals and I was shocked because apparently people must be really stupid if they can’t have similar results to me. I’m preparing for a 180 day water fast which will probably lower my a1c even more and my visceral fat will shed off, leaving me in long living health. I know that I can die any time though and that’s why I stay away from sin and trust in Jesus.

Let's say I have a blood sugar of 80 & I take like 16 units of Lantus (basal insulin) it will for sure make me go low at night which I absolutely hate & then I'll have to eat carbs which will ruin the fast completely! When I would do extended fasts (like 7 days) I would barely be taking any insulin (like 2-3 units if it was running a little high) & I would take like 4 units of Lantus. Clearly this isn't enough insulin & I would be extremely worried about going DKA. SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO! Because when I fast for so long, I really don't need much insulin at all. I'm so scared to fast & I'm also scared to not fast. I just want my perfect blood sugars & body back :( I'm a complete mess ever since I got off keto 3 years ago... I need to get back on but people keep telling me keto is dangerous!!! & last time I did it & checked my ketone levels, it was damn high, deep purple color on my pee stick.

It’s really different for each person. For me, 1g of carb raises my BG about 8 points. 1 unit of fast-acting insulin lowers my BG about 30 points. I had to experiment on myself a lot to adjust! My method of experimentation: 1: check my BG to get a base number with no food in my system. 2: eat 15g of carbs (peanut butter was my choice. Different foods spike BG in various ways) 3: wait 1 hour, then check BG. 4: wait another hour, check BG again. 5: take your final BG level and minus the level taken befor the experiment. Divide this number by the 15g of carbs you ate. You can do this with the various foods you like to eat to find out how carbs affect you. Example: fasting BG was 100. Ate 15g of carb. 1 hour later BG was 180. After another hour BG was 210. 210 - 100 = 110. 110 / 15g = 7.33. So! That means 1g of the type of food you ate raises your BG levels by about 7 points over the span of 2 hours. You can do the same experiment in reverse with insulin to see how your body reacts to the type of insulin you take. You are your own guinea pig! And you having this type of information will help your doctor a lot.

If you mean for type 1 diabetes the pancreas isn't even working, its clogged and needs to be unclogged to get it working again. If you're still in the honeymoon stage still, a raw vegan diet has been proven to reverse that before it becomes full blown type 1 diabetes. Dr Jason Fung says that insulin resistance is because of the overuse of insulin in many of his videos on youtube and in his book "The Obesity Code". Just like anything else, if its subjected to something over and over it builds up a resistance to it. He uses the analogy of a train tracks in a busy city. When you fist move into your home with the train tracks next to you its so annoying and it keeps you up at night, however over time you stop hearing the train tracks because you build up a resistance to it. So his reasoning for insulin resistance is because of the overuse of insulin and by taking less insulin you resistance lowers. So the way to reduce insulin resistance is to take less insulin. Whether that's eating less carbs and sugar or intermittent fasting, the only way to lower it is to take less insulin. I can confirm that what he teachers works because I have never had insulin resistance ever since I read his book and started doing what he said. I typically only take 1-3 units of insulin for a large meal (since I only eat once a day); and around 5-6 if I eat a lot of fruit for that meal.

Not too much and not too little...there’s the jab. Once injected, you cannot un-inject insulin. So when you fast you become more insulin sensitive. Problem is you don’t know by how much, so need to guess at how much basal insulin you need. As a Type 1 Diabetic, you never stop all insulin if you fast. You still need basal insulin, like Levemir, Lantus or Tresiba. Non diabetics always produce insulin in small qualities even if they don’t eat. Even gradually just eliminating breakfast every day is helpful. But eating very low carb is vital to avoid rollercoaster blood sugar. Excellent Resource: “Diabetes Solution” by Dr. Richard K.

But living this way isn't healthy in long term cause u will end up with kidney failure (kidneys aren't meant to filter sugar all the day along) and candida produces toxins (u will develop eczema and other skins problems) But this allows you to heal the pancreas with dense nutrient food and insulin free sugar that are fructose and galactose found in fruits and milks.

When I fast I go down to 4.8 to 6 units of insulin per day..when I eat carnivore I do 25 to 30 units per day...when I eat a crappy meal on a rare occasion I go as high as 50 units..with that rollercoaster to follow..

I think you are wrong. Its imposibble for me to fast as a type one diabetic. Because even in the morning when i wake up, my glucose is like 4,0. If i dont eat, i will have hypoglicemia and ketoazidosis. Dont fast as a type one diabetic! You have to eat. Everyone has to eat. Fasting? You know when i fast? When my glucose is high. I dont eat until its in a normal state. I know you are a doctor. But i dont have nor an insulinpump nor a perfect body. My pancreas makes a little insulin, barely. But if i would want to fast, i could die in a coma. I wont risk that. I want to, but i am not brave enaugh. What is your advise? I want to lower my bmi. Maybe i should'nt eat 210 g carbohydrate/day. But if so, my body could'nt take it. I had so many hipoglicemias. I will have a sensor because of it. I started doing workouts everyday. I started it like 5 days ago. I just hate my state. I mean, i am not overweight. I look good, but still i dont feel well in my body. And i cant change anything, just the amount of work i put in my workouts.

The first thing that came to my mind is diabetic ketoacidosis. Wouldnt they be at risk of that if they go fasting? Or eat low carb diet? Thank you. ❤❤❤

Ketoacidosis is caused by your body having high blood glucose levels and your body not absorbing any nutrients, as you have no insulin to push glucose into cells. Having ketones whilst in normal BG range is perfectly safe.

Hello, how does prolonged fasting work with glucagon ? I find with fasting my sugars stay elevated and keep rising due to glucagon release throughout the day. If I eat more frequently and low carb meals it keeps my blood sugars in good range. Fasting has thrown my average sugars out of range versus non fasting with low carb. I have had to increase my long acting tresiba to almost 20 units while fasting and can manage at 10 units while eating low carb and non fasting. In the latter stage my average blood sugar is better versus in fasting state

Anyone here who can answer me on why I get sick when fasting for more than 30 hours. I really wanna have autophagy. Will it happen with only 24 hour fasting? Then eat 2 meals three days and then fast for 24 hour here and there........? I would love to hear if anyone else here has had this problem? When I get sick like vomiting is it a detox? I got a bit scared when I fasted.....

In your situation I would maybe do alternate day fasting and eat keto with high probiotic and prebiotic foods and low protein. Keto mimics fasting. 24 hours gets you stem cells and a reset of gut microbiome. Drinking bone broth and then kraut, kimchi, low carb yogurt first, post fast, followed by high fiber and then protein. Getting sick after 30 hours may be an issue with your body not using the fat it has mobilized. I added creatine to my Yerba mate tea that I drink while fasting. I also add MCT oil, butter and collagen. These things do not break the fast but help. As a diabetic it isn’t just insulin production that is broken unfortunately. After years of bad ADA advice on diet our bodies aren’t very good at metabolizing anything but carbs. I also suspect the high carb consumption that used to be pushed on diabetics really screwed up our gut microbiome.

Question: My problem is that in the morning when i try to fast my sugar naturally goes up (while not eating!) and if i will not give myself a bit of insuline it will go high! I think it is because of kortysol..but not sure.... Can you please adress that issue? Will i 'breake' the fast by injecting insulin? What should i do?
