Low Carb diets for Type 2 Diabetes Reversal | The Diabetes Code Clinic (Part 3)

Hi, I’m Dr. Jason Fung, and welcome to Part 3 of the Diabetes Code Clinic, where we focus on reversing Type 2 diabetes through proven methods. If you missed Parts 1 and 2, I recommend watching those first, as we discussed what Type 2 diabetes is and introduced the low carbohydrate diet.

In today’s video, we’re diving deeper into the low carbohydrate diet and why it’s one of the most effective approaches for reversing Type 2 diabetes. The key to managing this disease lies in understanding how blood glucose levels are affected by what you eat. Using tools like the glycemic index and glycemic load, you can identify foods that raise your blood sugar and those that don’t.

You’ll learn:
✔️ Why cutting carbohydrates is essential for managing diabetes
✔️ The difference between refined and natural carbohydrates
✔️ How foods like vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats can stabilize blood sugar
✔️ Easy swaps and practical tips to stick to a low-carb diet
✔️ What happens if your blood sugar drops too low—and how to handle it

Key Points:
✅ Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body is overwhelmed with glucose, causing blood sugar levels to rise.
✅ A low carbohydrate diet targets the root cause—excess glucose—by reducing sugar intake and prioritizing foods that don’t spike blood sugar.
✅ Using tools like the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load, you can make informed choices about what to eat.
✅ Refined carbs (like bread and cornflakes) spike blood sugar, while natural carbs (like carrots and cauliflower) have a much lower impact.
✅ Incorporating low-carb, high-protein foods such as chicken, beef, eggs, and non-starchy vegetables can significantly improve blood glucose levels.

Tips for Following a Low-Carb Diet:
1️⃣ Choose Whole Foods: Focus on natural, unprocessed foods.
2️⃣ Fill Your Plate Smartly: Half with non-starchy vegetables, half with proteins.
3️⃣ Try Low-Carb Substitutes: Use lettuce wraps, cauliflower rice, or konjac noodles instead of bread and traditional pasta.
4️⃣ Monitor Your Blood Sugar: If you’re on diabetes medication, consult your doctor to adjust dosages as needed.

Benefits of a Low-Carb Diet:
📉 Reduces blood sugar levels and HbA1c
⚖️ Promotes weight loss
💊 Reduces dependency on diabetes medications
✔️ Scientifically backed by organizations like the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American Heart Association (AHA)
