hello everyone today we are going to
talk about can I reverse my diabetes big
question right yes depending on what
type of diabetes you have we will be
able to answer your question today I am
dr. Ahmed aergon I am the founder of
sugar emmys.com I'm an endocrinologist
by trade and I love treating diabetes so
let's talk about this question so if
that if your doctor told you that you
have diabetes the next question should
be what kind right there are so many
kinds type 1 type 2 type 1 and 1/2 more
the ketosis pong ball blood there's a
lot of thought about it types just
because you have a high blood sugar
doesn't make you type 1 or type 2 most
of the time people get diagnosed
wrongfully by type 2 because the
assumption is that you know how about
sugar you have type 2 that is wrong so
what we have to do here is you have to
understand what type of diabetes we have
why are you still making insulin right
how old are you you have the family
history of diabetes a lot of questions
that needs to be asked but the finally
let's say you have seen a diabetes
specialist or an ER chronologist and
they said oh you have type 1 diabetes
that may not be so good news because
type 1 diabetes means that you have lost
more than 90% of insulin producing
capacity so if you have type 1 diabetes
in today's age it is not reversible now
what is reversible
type 2 diabetes is definitely reversible
right so how do you reverse diabetes you
cannot possibly permanently cure
diabetes type 2 but you can temporarily
reverse it and keep it in remission so
why do I say that you cannot permanently
fix it because the moment your body
gives a signal of high blood sugar it
means that your body is not able to keep
up with the insulin requirement it is a
supply-and-demand disease so if you have
a very small body to begin with
you're not even overweight and your
blood sugars are going up at age of 45
and you have family history of diabetes
etc or you may not you may have type 1
and 1/2 diabetes so type you know the
worst type one the next thing is lada or
type 1.5 lada is spelled as la da or
type 1.5 and that's that's like between
1 & 2 so it's not the best type of
diabetes because you lose your insulin
producing capacity fairly fast so it is
not a bad idea to know what type of
diabetes you have even if you don't have
clear type 1 or type 2 you may be type 1
and a half so but in let's assume that
you have pure type 2 diabetes let's say
you have a family history you're
unfortunate and you're you know
unfortunately a little bit overweight
then you end up with high blood sugars
but you know that you have a lot of
potential to lose weight you have a lot
of potential to exercise then you can
definitely reverse the diabetes you know
if you are very very heavy let's say
there's some patients at 300 400 pounds
and you know yes they are trying to lose
weight but they're not able to achieve
their goals of reversing diabetes but
goseck bypass surgery or sleeve surgery
is also an option not for everybody but
for a lot of patients it is very honor
utilized and as long as you don't have
significant depressive or psychiatric
symptoms you know that type of surgery
can definitely fix the op-eds almost
immediately the next day after surgery
you will not have diabetes most of the
time or even people on insulin will stop
using insulin immediately after surgery
of course
there are a lot of long-term
implications complications can happen
etc which needs to be a very good
detailed discussion with your
endocrinologist or diabetes specialist
but you know that's that's an
alternative option now how do you really
how much really weight that you have to
lose to reverse your diabetes the the
golden number is ten percent so if you
can really lose thirty pounds when you
are 300 pounds you may really reverse
your diabetes that also depends on how
severe your diabetes to begin with so if
you're a new diabetic you lose 10 / 10
percent of your weight your diabetes may
be reversed and you go back to normal
blood Sugar's but but if you have
diabetes for 10 years if you have have
had it for 10 years unfortunately
because the rbt's is a progressive
disease you know your pancreas continue
to die similar to kidney failure so the
more you ignore it the more you let your
blood sugar stay high the faster you're
going to go on insulin you're going to
become more irreversible diabetes so the
key here is to act early when you have
pre-diabetes like in the previous video
we discussed like if you have
pre-diabetes then that's the time to act
if you just got diagnosed with diabetes
that is the time to act to reverse when
you wait too long then there may be it
may be too late to reverse your diabetes
so is it is it impossible no it is
possible as I said if you're gonna
bypass surgery or if you lose 20% of
your body weight instead of 10% which is
much more difficult don't think it's
easy
20% of weight loss can do that as well
and if somebody is dedicated and mindset
is there it can definitely be done but
only maybe 5% of people who experience
diagnosis of diabetes are really
dedicated to go and fix everything in
their life so most of the time they need
support they need a diabetes coach and
they need a doctor so it's not just a
diabetes code or just a doctor it has to
be a team approach and those patients
also have questions and they need to be
monitored
every time every day you know after
every meal maybe
you know at least couple times a week
and and do you have to have a good
rapport with your material providers now
unfortunately our health system does not
allow this type of care it's extremely
expensive at sugar remedies like um
though we came up with a system that is
very affordable where we can actually
get you off of insulin get you off of
medications and if you have to be on a
medication give you the most convenient
and the least amount of medication so
avoiding complex regimen making is
simplified making the life easier
providing you the technology so you
don't have to prick your fingers you
don't have to keep logs a lot of things
with diabetes people become tired off
and stop caring and that is the that's
the hardest part in our diabetes care
and since as a diabetes specialist I was
tired of all this I was miserable to see
my patients going into depression
because of all these problems we came up
with sugar emmys.com and and if you look
at our website you will see that we have
a state of the art systems that we can
track you we can give you scores we can
get questionnaires everything done
remotely and you will be accountable and
we can reverse your diabetes before you
know it so give us a call and we'll see
you next we will see in the next video
