Thanks for the useful information. Now, while my family has cookies or ice cream for dessert or a snack, I have chia pudding made with unsweetened soy milk and mixed with berries, a handful of walnuts, and topped with a little shaved 70% chocolate. It's delicious, filling, and satisfying. 😊🎉

Great Information Dr.Liu. One dish I eat daily and I mean daily is beans and tofu. I brought that to the office today as my first meal of the day. I know you went over the health aspects but for me, it is the perfect recovery from my workouts and on rest days, the all around perfect first meal. Like today, combo of pink beans, black eyed peas, extra firm tofu with grilled onions and cilantro. 2 apples and 2 bananas before heading home and then glass of ground flaxseed in water before my evening salad which 99% of the time Red Bell Pepper, Avocado, beets, broccoli of kale, tomatoes and carrots topped off with some balsamic vinegar. Two kiwis 30 minutes before bed and thats it. That in a nutshell is my normal day. Keep this awesome information coming Dr. Liu, it’s very important and useful.

Very informative and practical video. I especially appreciated the focus on foods that can support better blood sugar control as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, rather than presenting any single food as a miracle solution. The connection between fiber, protein, healthy fats, meal composition, and insulin response is especially useful. Thank you for making a complex topic easier to understand and apply in everyday life.

So thank you doctor for always giving us great information my question is basically are you saying that we should have maybe some protein or a healthy snack before we go to bed cuz I typically just do apple cider vinegar before I go to bed about an hour or two before and then I get up in the morning and I'm going to start doing 10 minutes of exercise to keep the quarters all down what do you suggest??💕

What is you r opinion on intermittent fasting for a type 2 diabetic???

@KathyD66 7 days ago

I like your explanations. For whatever reason, I can't eat oats even though I like them. No matter how I fix them, my glucose spikes like crazy if I have them. I know each of us can react differently. I can eat a slice of Ezekiel bread with a meal and it doesn't seem to do much to my blood sugar. I find it all fascinating and very interesting!

Conflating nocturnal hepatic gluconeogenesis with the dawn phenomenon misses basal hepatic insulin resistance. Does shifting fermentable fiber earlier measurably suppress overnight hepatic glucose output?
