This is a YouTube video titled "Reversing Type II Diabetes With Food" containing a monologue or single-speaker discussion from December 20, 2020, focused on the effectiveness of low carbohydrate and keto diets for glycemic control and type 2 diabetes reversal, referencing scientific literature and guidelines from the American Diabetes Association.
There's a whole literature on low carbohydrate diets that show them to be effective, I think probably most convincingly for the reversal of a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, for reversing that process. And that's why the American Diabetes Association has now in their guidelines is mentions not only of low carb, but of the keto diet as good viable options and the best diet for glycemic control which means controlling your blood sugar, which is the most important thing you can possibly do in diabetes. And also, by the way, and this is an important kind of ancillary to what we're talking about, which is in the literature on how to avoid the worst outcomes for the coronavirus, a study recently found that what most tightly associates with, what is most associated with poor outcomes was high blood sugars upon admission to the hospital. Yeah, yes. So keeping your glycemic control in control is super important. It's so important. Yeah. So, I mean, I think that literature, you know, as a start, reversing diabetes in America, which is, you know, drives the majority of health care costs. Um, you know, I think we have less clear literature that it, it clearly does a very good job for weight loss. But I think, you know, we still need more literature on that. But it's clearly viable and safe. And there's long term enough data. I mean, I'm talking multiple nine trials that are at least two years, which is considered long enough to see any negative side effects. Yeah.
