Surprisingly (bc Dr Fung tends to 'overexplain) incomplete description of Diabetes type I vs Type II. Type I is when the body produces no insulin, Type II is when the body 'resists' insulin and therefore must produce more or exogenously supplement the supply to gobble up the excess blood glucose.
If you can suffer through the awful audio quality and the numerous interruptions this video is worthwhile.
thanks Doc Fung from the Phils
This is a physician who got in the game for the love of humanity, not just the paycheck!!!
Woman he is aiming at knocking out diabetes because insuline and metformin knocks out kidnies. Kidnies can't heal. Liver does. Lupus you need phello diet and rid all Fungus in your body. Increase bioms with probiotics. The diet improves autoimmune.

Peaple please past after your comments
What amazes me the amount of interviews Dr Fung can do on I.F. and Type2/D., without getting jaded. I feel he’s the modern saviour of the medical world, because of the destructive wingspan of Type2/D. He’s going to end up being so revered for his life’s work.
Dr. Jason Fung is the best out there on weight loss and fasting.. He should be listened to and not interrupted.. This title is not correct… It's not about the Keto Diet at all… The title should be changed to accurately reflect the topic…
Dr Jason Fung is a genius, he saved my life.
Dr. Fung has made a valuable contribution to public health with his advocacy of the intermittent fasting diet. Brilliant man.
22:22 for keto diet talk
video is hard to watch because she kept interrupting
What are some ways to solve your erectile dysfunction problem? I read loads of good opinions on the net about how exactly Erectodom Secrets will help you last longer in bed. Has any one tested out this popular erectile dysfunction treatment?
Can I take Siberian gingsen with intermittent fasting?
Please stop interrupting him.
You say type 1 is generally found in children. Children grow up and become adults, doesn’t that make Type 1 also prevalent in all ages?
I love Dr Jason Fung and his teaching about fasting/intermittent fasting. However this video shouldn’t be titled keto diet explained because Dr Fung mainly talked about fasting and only minimally explained the keto diet.
I loved his expression when she was reading the disclaimer at the beginning.
Can anyone plz put some light on intermittent fasting and relation between ketones and dks
Thanks
Old enough to remember Dr.Carlton Fredericks and Dr Atkins…..Dr.Fredericks suggested to take Glycerin which is fatty acid thats super sweet which will satisfy cravings for sweets .Can get food grade Glycerin through Amazon. ..Whipped cream has zero or 1 gram of carbs and its super sweet as another good substitute.
Let him finish his thought.
Dr. I tried intermittent fasting but my blood sugar rising. I have diabetes and fatty liver.
lost 40 lbs in 6.5 months and my husband lost 50 in the same amount of time. We employed time restriction but ate like a boss. Bo Jangles fried chicken, Chipotle, Cinnabon, doughnuts, Arby's McDonalds, Wendys, Chic Fil A, pizza and lots of home cooked meals as well. Put real sugar in our coffee and tea. Had soda occasionally. No alcohol. I'm telling ya, it's not about calories, it's really about time restriction. I am beyond thrilled. This is no diet. I eat what ever I want, in a one hour window,lol!
Hello dr.. can you help me out I stayed keto diet 4 days ago again
But feeling lethargic and tired. I am not a diabetic patient but when checked my blood sugar levels it was 58. I am over weight and 43 years old working lady and mother of 2 kids. Last year I reduce 10kg by intermittent fasting and keto diet plan. I felt great and energetic at that time. Plz guide me what is missing at my side this time.
Thanks in advance
Be nice to your guest and stop interrupting!
Dr Fung 👌👌👌
good video
PS. my wife’s BMI is at 52, and wants to lose weight desperately, she has Type 2 diabetes and wants to give your diet a try, but doesn’t believe she can do it with carbs in the house. Can you help us? Tony Chilcott
I’m sorry, I meant other doctors in Canada, not the USA. I understand your Clinic is in Toronto, but I’m not sure we could afford to live there, or if we’d be welcome, because we live in poverty here.
I live in the USA. In San Antonio, Texas. I am a Type 1.5 diabetic, and not one of my physicians recognize your methods as viable. Not my PCP, not my Endocrinologist . Can you suggest, do you know of any physicians in the USA who are using your methods with insulin-dependent diabetes?
Thank you im not to happy with my Doctor and his pill giving either awesome advice from the mouth!
Dr Fung… can I just stop Metformin safely on 1000 mg a day for only 2 months… recently diagnosed after blood sugar was at 320 now avg 110 I also lost 22 lbs keeping low carb regimen and IF
Hi .
I tried intermittent fasting by watching your videos. But I am experiencing acidity. How to overcome that. Can you plz suggest any idea.
Love Dr. Fung! Horrible interviewer!!!!
I love you and have your books.. I have had diabetes for 30 years. I have had retinopathy for four. I have to disagree that retinopathy can't be reversed. I have researched this. Most people with this disease follow protocol of sad diet be and drugs. I believe with the keto diet and fasting retinopathy and neuropathy can be reversed in time. I will definitely let you know when it does.
