She says it's reversible through lifestyle changes: her program has helped over 5,000 patients stop insulin within a year. Diabetes also affects brain health, linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Hello, today I am going to share with you 7 lesser-known facts about type 2 diabetes, and I'm sure after listening to this video you would say, if I had known this before, a lot of agony in my life could have been saved. So let's get started. I am Dr. Preeti Nanda Sibal, your functional medicine doctor. I reversed my own diabetes and I have helped 5,000 people reverse their diabetes, and let's see what excellent thing I have to share with you today. First, diabetes is not about sugar and insulin. It does not start in the pancreas. You know, it starts in the gut. Gut inflammation. First signs in the gut when you have felt constipated, when you have felt gassy, they are the signs which are telling you that you are going to become a diabetic if you don't take care of your gut inflammation. So remember, pancreas are not the villain. Actually, they are the victim because you did not take care of your gut because nobody told you that all those symptoms could be the reason behind your diabetes. Skinny people you will get it too. You know, there are 40% thin outside, fat inside people who are diabetic. So just being obese is not a reason that you will be diabetic. Third fact: your sleep and stress can increase your sugar levels. If even you don't sleep well for one night, your insulin spike can happen. Why? Because it actually confuses your cortisol and melatonin, and your whole metabolism gets confused. Blood sugar spikes can happen without sweets. A lot of patients come to me and say, the day I came to know I was a diabetic, I stopped my sugar or desserts. And my question is, did you stop your carbs too? Because remember, your carbs and protein both get metabolized as sugar in your body. So all your potatoes and grains, they are increasing sugar. And that's not all. It's not about cutting carbs, it's about eating food which takes time to digest and does not increase your sugar spikes, which means your sugar levels should be in a balance. And if that is so, it's not that you only don't become a diabetic or reverse your diabetes, but you also don't age fast. So, two benefits in the same habit. Late nights can also increase your sugar levels. Diabetes is reversible, not a life sentence. Ben's approach— good breathing, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet, and management of stress and sleep— can help you reverse diabetes the way it has helped 5,000+ people get off their insulin and their pills in a matter of 3 months to a year. Diabetes is also a brain disease. Type 3 diabetes is Alzheimer's, right? When you start forgetting things. So take care of your insulin, take care of your brain.
