    I was diagnosed two months ago. No one has told me I can reverse this. I am speechless - so full of hope for the first time.
  • @stack9866
    Sir, if more doctors were like you, alot of people wouldn't mind going to the doctor. You are doing a great service for humanity.
  • @Twog78
    I dropped my weight from 310 to 154. I dropped my A1C from 9.6 to 4.8 with no meds!!! It’s all Clean Keto and Intermittent Fasting
  • @jim73challenger
    This completely backs up what I have suspected for decades. 25 years ago my father was diagnosed with T2D and his doctor recommended a vegetarian diet full of wheat, grains, pasta and fruit. His diabetes accelerated out of control and he died at 52. This is an eye opening verification of what I have been suspecting for years. Thank you!
  • @Westlakemarket
    I am one of those skinny diabetics. I went to the doctor for a totally unrelated problem 11 years ago and "accidentally" found out that I was diabetic. I would have went on for many, many years never knowing it. This knuckle headed doctor basically told me that it was degenerative and to protect my feet from injury. He said absolutely nothing about my diet. I fired him and did not go to the doctor again until 2017. The first thing my new doctor told me, who is a naturopath, was to get on a ketogenic diet. I finally listened to her and you and after 4 years I improved my A1C from 11.7 to 6.0 last month.
  • @victorcilli8683
    I was diagnosed with type 2 about 2 years ago. My sugar was 374 and a1c was 12. I have completely reversed this condition with diet alone. Everything that was said here in this video is 100% true.
  • I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 2 months ago! I bought my own meter to check my EAG. I went from 140 to 89. 😁 which equals 4.7 blood reading no longer Diabetic or pre diabetic! I just changed what I ate walked everyday went from 163 pounds to 149! I did it thanks to videos like yours! Thank you!
  • @tubidu5515
    Dr Berry - I reversed my diabetes thanks to your videos and it didn’t take me long. I eliminated sugar out of my diet and went on intermittent fasting for only 7 months. My doctor never told me it’s reversible.
  • If you fall off the wagon with your diet, Dr.Berry with his enthusiasm always gets me back on track. Down 75 lbs another 45 to go! Love Dr.Berry!
  • @glenlarson4933
    I went from an A1C of 9 to an A1C of 5.5 in 4 months doing a keto diet. I've been at 5.5 now for over 18 months. :)
  • @ynmamflm
    I'll say it again. I went from 10.6 A1C to a 5.5. I simply stopped having sugar and started a hi fat low carb diet. I did it from November when I was diagnosed to June at my 3rd Dr appointment. My next appointment because I did so well is not until December. Also my blood work was all in the normal range. Your research Dr Berry as was as others has saved my health. Instead of screaming "I'm debt free", I'm metabolic syndrome free!
  • You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes 💪

    Back in August 2017 I was hospitalized for 6 months with a severe heel ulcer (and a few smaller ones) that required 2 surgical debridements due to Peripheral Neuropathy in my legs and feet from T2 Diabetes. When I was discharged in February 2018 I weighed 368 lbs. My Hba1c was 18! I went on a Keto diet, and began Intermittent Fasting. By July 2018 my Hba1c was down to 4.8, and has remained between 4.8 - 5.6 ever since. I am off the 3 types of insulin I was on; as well as all oral diabetes meds except Metformin. I have lost 140 lbs, walk up & down stairs unaided, and at age 62 have done a minimum of 50 Push-Ups every day since November 5th 2020 after not being able to do a single Push-Up for over 40 years. (Have been doing a minimum of 100 for the past 4 months ) I now follow a Carneto diet. (It's what most people WRONGLY call Ketovore since the Carnivore portion makes up the biggest part of the meal, so it deserves priority, while the veggies, etc - the "keto" portion adds some variety. Thus, CARNeto.) So T2 Diabetes can be reversed, as I have done so.
  • Thanks to a video of Dr Berry’s called The Ketogenic diet and reversing type 2 Diabetes , that I watched back in November 2020, I HAVE reversed my type 2 diabetes! February of 2021 my A1C was 5.2, which was the highest since the start, and my lowest was 4.6 several months ago. The lowest numbers were because I incorporated intermittent fasting along with keto. You can do this too!
  • @danieldmg
    Three months ago my A1C was at 8.5 I totally eliminated carbs, exercise every day, 18-hour intermittent fasting, and natural glucose-lowering supplements. Plenty of water and fiber. Today she is at 5.4
  • I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2008. Two years ago my A1C was about 10.1, the VA asked me to try the Virta Program, a mostly protein diet, no sugar or unhealthy carbs. I have lost over 40 lbs and my A1C runs between 5.3 to 6.0, feel much better.
  • My mom is type II. She kept hounding me to quit vaping, constantly on my ass about it. She probably took her blood sugar reading once every three months. She took her meds but her A1C was through the roof and she ate whatever. I made her a deal that I would quit vaping if she would take her BS once daily and wrote it down. It’s been about 7 months and her A1C is like half of what it used to be and I haven’t vaped. She’s lost about 50 pounds and has far exceeded my greatest expectations. Seeing her numbers improve has really motivated her and at this point she is doing it for herself and not just so I will continue to not vape.
  • @got2kittys
    I was told a year ago that I was "borderline" , nearly diabetic. I just started avoiding sugar, all grains, and trying to eat meats and veggies. In no way am I perfect at this, but I have lost about 20 lbs, and resumed my 1 meal a day eating. Feeling better, and I'm pretty sure that my metabolism is not borderline any more. It totally works.
  • @terryruiz8854
    I diagnosed with full blown type 2 in early April given Metformin and that was it. Nothing about changing diet, what to eat or not to eat or exercise, nothing. Just take the meds to help reduce it. I went home and spent numerous hours on YouTube and googling about diabetes. It’s amazing how some of these doctors get to continue to practice.
  • @Mr_Obvious
    I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the first week of February. I followed the ADA dietary guidelines for diabetics for all of Feb and March. I actually had to increase the amount of insulin I was taking, and gained 1 lb. I went on a strict under 20 carbs diet in the first week of April, and I ended up taking my last shot of insulin on April 27th, and stopped the Metformin in mid May. I went full carnivore the first week of June, and on July 7th my A1C came back a 5.6. I also lost 40 lbs during all that. I feel better than I've felt in at least 20 years, maybe even forever. I'm off ALL my prescribed meds. BP meds, Protonix, Atorvastatin, all of it. My psoriasis has cleared up, my joints no longer hurt, my depression and anxiety are gone. The diabetes had caused my eye vision to start to blur. That went away and now I can actually read a book without putting my reading glasses on. My brain fog has cleared up and I now have tons of energy. I thank you for all of this because watching your videos is what put me on the right track!
