Reversing Type 2 diabetes starts with ignoring the guidelines | Sarah Hallberg | TEDxPurdueU

" There is a lot of money to be made from keeping you sick ". this lady is a SAINT!!!! 100% correct.

I love it when she said there's a lot of money to be made by keeping you sick...truer words have never been said.

This amazing woman changed my life with this 18 minute video. I reversed type 2 diabetes over 3 years ago and I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I even hiked the 2194 mile Appalachian Trail in 2022. Thank you Dr. Sarah! I’m never going back to obesity and diabetes!

I am so sorry to hear that Dr. Hallberg died from lung cancer in 2022. I saw this video in 2017 when I was recovering from two kinds of endometrial cancer. At the same time, I was diagnosed with diabetes. By following her advice, I reversed the diabetes and lost 40 pounds. I no longer am diagnosed with diabetes. Actually my doctor said that she considers me "a diet-controlled diabetic". I've also been free of cancer for six years. It's not just what I eat, it's also getting more exercise. I moved to Mexico and live in a small mountain town without a car. I walk everywhere. I never got into eating baked goods made with non-grain based flours, but I'm going to try that. I usually break my fast with a breakfast of either quinoa or some kind of eggs, usually with lots of veggies. It doesn't spike my blood sugar the way that oatmeal, yogurt and other things I used to have for breakfast did. I do eat avocadoes every day. So wonderful to live in Michoacan where they are plentiful year-round. I also have locally-made butter, which is the best. My advice to anyone with cancer or diabetes is to take it as a wake-up call that you need to take better care of your health.

She is brilliant. I was diagnosed with type 2 last year. I've been intermittent fasting and have cut carbs almost to nothing, and I juice celery everyday, and apple cider vinegar. I've lost 30 lbs and am no longer insulin resistant. Thank You

" Don't be fooled, there is a lot of money to be made from keeping you sick " that sums it all

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year and I’m so grateful I found this video. I am no longer on insulin and have lost almost 50 pounds. I still have a ways to go for my goal, but this really does make a huge difference. My A1C went from 9.4 (I found out when I was hospitalized for covid) and now it’s 5.6!

Rest in Peace, Doctor. You have touched my life before I knew you had passed.

If your allergic to peanuts, do you keep eating peanut butter, and then jab an epi pen into your body so you don't die. Thats pretty much what modern medicine has been doing with diabetes care. I am down 130 pounds, and about to break through the no longer diabetic barrier in my next blood test. This woman is a hero for all she has put herself through for us.

On Jan 01 2018 I was diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic. My Blood sugar was in the high 500's. I know a walking time bomb. I watched this video and subsequently implemented the doctor's advice in my lifestyle. Fast forward to February 13, 2018. After recording all my blood sugar readings it showed of average range of 91 to 101. My doctor's first word to me were "it's a miracle" you are no longer a diabetic. I can't go back to eating like before, I just need to keep eating and exercising the way I have been the last six weeks. A VERY BIG THANK YOU , to Doctor SARAH HALBERG!....Folks it can be done.

I'm sorry she passed away. This is the first time I come across this video. We need more doctors like her. I was told I was diabetic and was able to reverse my diabetes to below pre-diabetes in 7 months with what she is saying to do. I only eat lean fats (fish, turkey, chicken). It's possible but we are literally addicted to carbs and sugars and people find it hard to give them up. I no longer crave them but I was like a junky in withdrawal when I refused to become a statistic.

I was diagnosed with T2D 20 months ago. With an A1C of 6.7, I started researching low carb healthy eating and decided this was for me. Within six months I had dropped my A1C down to 5.6 and now 20 months later my A1C is below 5.0 with an eAG of 83 and daily FBS’s in the low to mid 80’s. In addition, I’ve lost 130 pounds and I’m down in my weight to where I was 50 years ago when we got married. I live by the mantra that my T2D is in remission instead of being reversed because I know that if I don’t eat and live this healthy lifestyle I can easily be back where I started 20 months ago and I NEVER intend on going there again - EVER!

"Stop using Medicine to treat Food." Wow.

I did it. You can do it, too. I gave up bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, juice, sweets, all fast food. Cold turkey. And I walked 20 minutes every day. Within 2 weeks I no longer craved any of those foods and in 2 months I was off insulin. Another 3 weeks and I was off metformin, too. That was 11 years ago. My A1C was 11.8 when diagnosed. It has been in the 5's every test in past 11 years. I refuse to be diabetic. I refuse to live on a merry-go-round of drugs that treat one symptom and cause another. That's not living.

Dear! I've just learned that she passed away from lung cancer! I was just happy to see that there is still doctors like her that scream out the truths without fear and It was very exciting. Until... I knew that she's just passed away, it just hurts. RIP Dr. Sarah.

I’m saddened to know she passed away. Amazing doctor! I wish all doctors were like her. Unfortunately most doctors treat only the symptoms with medication when they need to be treating the cause which is what you eat. Dr Sarah is spot on in what she taught her patients.

I can guarantee you that reversing Type II diabetes is possible...because I did it! I am a 58 yr old male who weighted 247 lbs last Feb when I started dieting. I now weigh 182 lbs and I'm on my way to a target of 168 lbs ("normal" for my height). I visited my Dr last week and had lab work done. My labs were normal WITHOUT meds ( I dropped them all, AMA, last April, so my latest labs were a solid baseline.) Let this be a word of encouragement to all of you...Type II diabetes can be defeated!!!

I pray to someday meet a doctor who's healthcare goal for me is to treat me well enough to never see me again!

OMG, I just learned of her death. What a true tragedy. It was people like her that helped me get off of 3 insulin shots a day and in fact, no diabetes medication at all. I shall forever remember and appreciate her!!! God bless.

I was diagnosed with a full-blown diabetes with an A1C level of 9.9 six months ago. The doctor put me through metformin for six months. I religiously followed her guidelines, lost 22 pounds and slashed A1C to 5.0. Not on the medication anymore. I am determined to maintain it not just for months but for years.
