These recommendations out and it 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 occasion. 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 lifestyle Management Section notes. There is 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. Its all good. So you can go in there. You can share your, grab your 400. Everybody on the patio in the back and say, hey, you know what . You know, thoughts and prayers go out the way i knew when youre shorted. Why kates or your kidney fails. This 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 youre told over and over. Ive been researching for over a year, a low carbohydrate die. Its grossing shows im and are printed out over 60 articles that talk about protein. Not carbohydrate drives, long bone growth, insurance people have suggested to patients and their family, but carbohydrates are required for growth. Totally falls down to where that believe comes from. Our body can produce all the glucose spring, gluco neo, just the this model exist. Were being a kid is cupcakes or k to pizza and all that crap. Right. But as you know, a t one young kid if youre not feeding them protein and vegetables and keep in the blood sugar, which is never gonna grow to his f. Nighttime is it particularly scary time for parents when i have a child with diabetes . Because that child goes well 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 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 child 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 my, both of my sons love. And it was for pumpkin waffles. And i think just for the waffle, it was something around 44. 00 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 should have received the pink panther, sas, carp, dining and home phone works. We just kinda did what they told us, you know, base. I remember cd said 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 spanking 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 time 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 cant 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 an, a wasted opportunity by a big governing body that holds a lot of power with these new families. Thats basically the education that we got a crash course in carp counting ratios. How this one was supposed to move the glucose into ourselves, and it all had to do with his carbohydrate intake. We were told that he can eat, you know, cheeseburgers and fast food and that these things wouldnt change because he was type one diabetic. If i wanted to have them brown and i wanted to sit down and actually calculate how many real carbs are in there, and how if its white, sugar or brown sugar or oats, or a whole grain, whatever. You wanted 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 leader, and if i have insulin on board, go for it. Most people dont have time. They just take a random ratio and so on. The card ratio that they are in the chronologist sets 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 is flawed for many reasons. But one of the most obvious that i hope anyone can grass is that the ca allows food manufacturers to be off and their carbohydrate counts on their labels by plus or minus 20 percent. So even if you are the most advert curve 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 it 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 that document low carbohydrate diet, there was a multiple 1000000000. 00 example corporations that were go bankrupt operations to see a 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, or someone is going to feel the sting of that the very 1st time i went to cbs and bought novolog for 400 dollars. 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 get sierra her morning dose and hadnt had 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. 05 saving medicine on the ground. Or we could continue doing this. How can any family afford to keep their kid alive . No parents ever 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 in the 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 beams. I read bern seems book and really got my blood sugars under, under control to non diabetic levels. 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, wed assemble it and the needles would get well. Then we had to sharpen the needles. We had to pump the stone and you run the needle on the pump as 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 the in the way, the discovery of the new world. At the end of the 15 centre, there appeared atlantics, slave grey. The slave traders from European Countries started building for its on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. Until the middle of the 17th century. Portugal had played the main role in this atrocious business. In great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for this fan of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. About 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. Not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. Modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and cruel obliteration of rebellion. This roof was the whole tre practice by the leading European Countries took away tens of millions of african lives. The organization of United Nations class advised the trans atlantics to laved rate as one of the greatest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. This is the biggest act of deportation, of people ever seen by mankind. The the the, the, the the early days had a very creative lunch. Peanut butter, mayo, and tune on day 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 going to eliminate the bread and eliminate the peanut butter. And ill just have the tune of fish and mail and the salad where im on the amount events when i took for lunch dropped dramatically. And the blood sugars after lunch became predict i decided that the point that i had to get this information out and that the doctors would bend over backwards. So the 1st thing i did was approach my own doctor who is present to the American Diabetes association. And to certain people come to me once a month for blood sugar. If they could measure with themselves, id have no patients, no one would come to see me. I, i wrote a, it was like a cookbook. Step by step, what do you do to have normal blood . She was here type one diabetic. I submitted it to many made medical journals. Annual rejected the so 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. Exceptions i made this just by to read all the different scenes 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 blood sugar. The he was able to realize by blood sugar is directly affected by the food. Sorry. Shouldnt be a big surprise. Right . By reducing his carbon tag, he was able to significantly stabilize the swings in his blood sugar over time. And that, that made a lot of sense to us. And we said, well lets, lets give this a shot. Or the i couldnt can waive the production and 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 her 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 biggest states close on friday, she has a straight to the policy. What we found is that we found some living 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 car pizza. We make low car cupcakes. Theres low carb desert. Theres all these low carb foods that you can eat, you dont feel deprived. Theres nothing that i cant eat. You just have to change the recipe. The lay of the chart in our kitchen that has all the dinners of 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 helped here. Now that weve all changed our diet to adapt to what river east. Its easier for me. I cook one meals, a simple cooking. Its natural, its easy to find a simple side 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 the low car of and i 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 i use a way that i think our disease dictates which is carbohydrate intolerant. The why is this not something i knew before . I like im a dietician. I went to school for that 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. My in so it needs to have my blood sugars a like, rarely over 120 and youre changing my died from 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 one year for now. You know, eating this way. No part. And you know, very happy to say that give you a 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 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 it isnt really a problem at all for me at this point, its not a party all you to hammer without a bond. No one cares if i know a pizza without the deck, the cross underneath and its its not a big deal. 10 years ago when i started eating low car, it was really tough to get low car portions at dinner. Or, you know, all 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 mud pipe. A low carmine pile the for breakfast, just about every day we are bacon and eggs. We saw j them and rich butter. This is not a brooklyn issue. This is a wesley family issue with ease me eating. She has 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. And thats the risk of hospitalization, and a marked improvement on mental health. The instead 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 flush 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, as far as i can do it. I want to make sure that this happens. We would not have complications, normal issues where life back in is exactly what we do. The, [000 00 00;00] the, the, the things the, the mom, the, [000 00 00;00] the, i mean, the, the b is for wisdom, the wisdom, the word order. And indeed of us for jim with the traveler order is now beach view. Se in you agree is the last that came by the americans ever fuel western allies that they have moved on. Didnt put in the right to the being that its a more upbeat in order that has no relation with the the, the top headlines right now, one off the international as need chair, a point. So new prime minister. Its following the military coup with the country and old in the face of a possible military intervention from neighboring states. So we hit the ground, we got 3 extra image. It seems that the technician, sir, im sure that all the emphasis of a cost member of countries here will be destroyed. The cdo, even if becca was the us and from steven, if the whole world mobilize this against these. Yeah,
