Powerful Tactics for Lightning-Fast Blood Sugar Reduction
Hello everyone, this is Dr. Ahmed Erik. I'm an endocrinologist, a diabetes specialist, a writer for Healthy Nation, and a diabetes education specialist. This is my passion, and today I'm going to talk to you about how to bring blood sugar down fast.
You live in a fast-paced society, and everybody wants to do everything quickly. Well, that's not always the best thing, and I'll tell you why. But I'll also tell you how to bring it down fast, so it's like I'll tell you how to do it, but I'll tell you the risk associated with it. So, you decide what to do with it, okay? Let's get into it.
Now, you can play bring your blood sugar down fast in different ways. If you're a newly diagnosed diabetic, sometimes you get shocked. "Oh my god, what am I gonna do? I got diabetes!" And then you start reading articles and watching videos. The guys are talking about, "Don't eat this, don't eat that; you're dead, you're out." And then you get into this extreme motivation, and you're like, "Okay, I'm not gonna eat anything, I'm gonna just eat steak and bacon all day long." Well, let's bring your blood sugar down. Is that good for you? Not really, wrong.
So, you should not be living on a saturated fat diet and keep your blood sugar down because that is going to destroy your blood vessels and arteries, and you're going to end up dying from a heart attack or stroke.
With the very nice blood sugars there you have it. Now, you can change your diet, but I do not recommend those extreme diets where you cut all the carbs out of your life; that is not maintainable.
But, there are a lot of people who are addicted to sodas, there are a lot of people who are into the bread, they're ready to rise culturally, whatever it is. If you can start learning about portion control and understand portion control, moderation, and all that good stuff that you were not doing, we're not even thinking about before. Now you start thinking about it, and you're gonna realize your blood sugar will be dramatically different.
By the time you get diabetes, you lose around 70-80 percent of your insulin production capacity. The cells that produce insulin are gone. So, people think that they're going into remission because they're cutting the carbs completely. It's like saying, "Oh well, I'm not rich because I'm not spending any money." Well, that's not gonna last too long, right? You're gonna end up needing stuff. So just like that, you cannot just cut the carbs and say, "Oh my diabetes has suddenly disappeared." It did not disappear; you just covered it up. So, the moment you start getting carbs, your blood sugar goes up again.
You have to have a long-term plan, and the long-term plan is portion control, keeping your carbohydrates low, sticking with healthy carbs, and we have a lot of articles about that.
Now, of course, the diet will help you a lot. The second thing is you have to make sure you use aggressive methods to bring your blood sugar down because when your blood sugars are so high, your pancreatic beta cells, which are the insulin-producing cells, are struggling to make any insulin. It's like thinking like an economic crisis where you know there's money but nobody wants to spend it, and everybody's scared. Your beta cells are like that when the sugar is so high. Our beta cells are like stunned; they don't want to do anything. Not that they cannot do it, they just don't want to do anything. They don't even understand what's going on because blood sugars are so high. Because your beta cells understand the difference, but if it is always high, the difference is only between 350 to 400, your beta cells are like "What is this?" and they don't get it. So, we call this glucotoxicity. Glucose is toxic to your beta cells.
Now, what you do is you go find a good doctor who understands diabetes. Not a chiropractor, not a random guy who works at a church and talks about eating carbs. You need to find a doctor who understands diabetes, who understands, who is specializing in this. You don't have to see me; I'm not telling you that. You need to find someone passionate about diabetes, who went to school for that. Not just passion, passion is not enough; you also have to know what you're doing.
Now, with that approach, that doctor can formulate a plan to just bring your blood sugar down within a week or two. A lot of my patients, when they come in, they're desperate. They say, "Whatever I do, it's not working," or, "Hey, I cannot just stop my carbs like they say," etc, etc. We always find a tailored plan to bring the blood sugar down with a combination of medications. Now, they first get scared; they're like, "Oh, this is like a couple of medications at the same time." But I tell them, "Look, we are going to back off, but we have to attack this aggressively at first, get the blood sugar down, and I bet you your beta cells will start working again. And we're gonna, of course, moderation in your diet is going to be the key at the same time, but we're gonna start pulling those medications back off once your A1C comes to almost normal levels."
So, we bring people's A1C from 15 down to five percent daily. You look at some articles or videos; they make it look like this is a very rare event. No, this happens 20 times in my clinic every day, all day, weaving people's blood sugar down very quickly with the aggressive approach.
Also, I have created a 7-day Diabetic Diet meal plan, recipes, and shopping list. You can Download It For Free.
In this eBook, you will receive a 7-Day Diabetes Meal Plan, complete with mouthwatering recipes and a convenient shopping list. It’s a comprehensive guide to help you enjoy delicious meals while managing your diabetes effectively.
Alright, so of course we talked about the diet. Diet is a very important - I mean, exercise is a very important part of it. I know a lot of people will say, "I don't have time, for this and that," but you can create, if just 30 minutes of your time, brisk walking, something like that, every day if you can incorporate this into your life. It's not going to only help your diabetes; it's going to help your heart disease if any or future heart disease. It's going to help your cholesterol; it's going to have a lot of benefits that you all know of.
So incorporating 30 minutes of exercise into your life, including dietary modification and moderation in your diet, will help you slender your life and bring your blood sugar down fast. And when I say fast, I mean like in a couple of weeks you can bring your blood sugar down if you do this approach. Don't hesitate to use the medications if you need to, but as I said, moderation in your diet and exercise are your best friends.
