The Normal BG

16/05/2025

This is the story of Brian, a Type 1 Diabetic patient who came to me for my international clinic.

Brian dealt with several complex medical conditions, his success story is truly unique, and can give a lot of strength, for all Diabetics out there.

This was written by Colm, Brian’s brother who was a key figure in Brian’s winning story!

“Brian was 25 years old when he became diabetic which we knew nothing about or what caused it.

After my mother having meetings with the doctors we were told that Brian would have to inject insulin with his meals so we just carried on as normal giving Brian porridge and toast with coffee for breakfast lunch would consist of a sandwich with fruit and dinner he would have potatoes with veg and meat.Brian’s BG would go high every day but we just thought that was part of it and didn’t know about the dangers of it.

After around 2 years brians levels got very high he would wake up with levels as high of 18 to 19 nmol/L and high throughout the day I knew something had to be done about it.

I just went online and typed in why is a type 1 diabetic sugar levels raising at night and what I read I couldn’t believe we were doing everything wrong.

I started watching videos on YouTube and realised I needed help that I wasn’t getting from my local diabetic clinic. I came across Tomer pappe video on YouTube so I decided to contact him he worked we us straight away on a Saturday evening explaining and guiding me on what to do what meals to give Brian and how to select low carbohydrate foods with high protein meals which was a relief for me as I wasn’t sleeping great fearing how high brians BG would be waking up.

I did a 3 week course with Tomer and became a lot more knowledgeable about diabetes.

Now working with Tomer for just over one year we have brians BG very stable and in a good range daily we also managed to get brians A1Cs down from 7.9 to under 6 at his last blood tests which was five months ago. I’m looking forward to his next A1Cs test which will be next month.”

When I became a Clinical Practitioner as Nutritionist I realized its not only a way to solve my own Type 1 Diabetes.

Low Carb diet based on High Quality Animal Protein is a way to solve the Blood Glucose Roller Coaster
for any Type 1 Diabetic out there!

Let us keep on spreading the word

Back to 2016 with the Hadza tribe. Long before the global trend of “documenting yourself alongside hunters and gatherers” and the truth is, even before I knew I would turn my love for nutrition into a profession, I went on an organized trip to the remote tribes in Tanzania, Africa.

The Hadza tribe is a tribe of indigenous Tanzanians, some of whom still live as hunter-gatherers as they did hundreds of thousands of years ago. According to Tanzanian law, the Hadza are considered a protected tribe.

Geographically the Hadza live mainly in the Rift Valley and Arusha District (in the Serengeti).
It is estimated that today there are less than 2000 Hadza living in Tanzania and that only a third of them still survive based on the traditional means of foraging in the forest and hunting.

During that visit I was lucky enough to hunt 2 birds in the forest alongside with the tribe, a part that unfortunately was not recorded on camera.

Top Secret 🤫 These pictures were taken from my new Type 1 diabetes balance-Low carb crashed course, in English.

Timing is everything in life and in diabetes.

On timing and dosing of bolus for meals (bolus = insulin for food/any event that requires lowering blood glucose level).
Each graph shows 2 metrics: time and blood glucose.

We got a tomahawk steak and we got insulin that breaks down at a rate similar to the digestion rate of the tomahawk steak (Regular insulin, best suited for a low-carb diet).

What’s left for us is: to specify the dosage and to specify the timing of the bolus (insulin for the meal).

Picture 1: accurate dosage but the timing of the bolus is too late (first a rise in blood glucose then a drop into a mild hypoglycemia).

Picture 2: Accurate dosage but the timing of the bolus is early (preceding a drop in blood glucose that will lead to an increase to mild hyperglycemia later on).

Photo 3: Exact dosage and exact timing of the bolus ✅ Blood glucose remains as it is, within range, before, during and after the meal.

Always funny 😂

“My parents had diabetes so I will get it too”

How many times have I heard this sentence
And I continue to hear this sentence every day.

It is important to understand: Nutrition overcomes all genetics, even type 2 diabetes and obesity, and today there is the field of Epigenetics
which proves to us that the environment wins genetics.

Genetics only indicates a tendency to certain situations, genetics does not guarantee the manifestation of the tendency.

For the purpose of the example: a family lineage in which 10 generations back, each generation developed type 2 diabetes and currently in the 11th generation, the current offspring switches to a diet with low consumption of carbohydrates and high consumption of protein and high quality fats, keeps the blood glucose optimally balanced and stays away from toxins from the environment and mental stress - this is also the generation where the genetics will break and even beyond that - within 1 or 2 generations, it will probably be possible to say that the circle of type 2 diabetes and obesity is broken.

In type 1 diabetes, as in any autoimmune phenomenon, the genetic connection also exists, but here too - if we do not encounter triggers that undermine the immune system throughout life, there is no reason for us to experience an outbreak of type 1 diabetes.

So in every generation a person must see himself as if he is the master of his own health, not to blame genetics and certainly not to blame fate or the doctor.

Homemade carpaccio you should make only from high quality local meat.

After the meat cutting: preparation time - 30 seconds.

Preparation (according to your own taste): Balsamic vinegar drizzle, mustard, local olive oil, Parmesan cheese and some high-quality sea salt for extra taste. For the meat cutting - either at the butcher’s slicer
or at home, cut into slices and then pound with a schnitzel hammer.

Elliott Proctor Joslin, who was active from the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, was the first medical doctor in the United States to specialize in diabetes and was the founder of the present-day Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

We can argue whether he was a supporter of a low carbohydrate diet or perhaps not, but this quote will probably always be true. Knowledge is power and in such a complex condition as diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes, knowledge is a superpower!

Stay knowledgeable and never stop researching
and stay brave.

It is more true than ever nowadays, when science becomes more a political field than a truth seeking kind of field, full of economical interests.

So I invite each and every diabetic not to stop researching and also questioning the accepted truth when necessary.

In 1903, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, was not at all satisfied with the medical treatments available at that time and said the following sentence:

“The doctor of the future will not give medicine,
but will be interested in treating his patient in the human frame,
in nutrition and in the cause and prevention of diseases”

Since then, has the medical condition improved or has nothing changed?

What if I told you that I am saved from death every day? Balance blood glucose to the levels I live in (24/7, 70-100 mg/dL) prevents death and prevents diabetes complications (living alongside diabetes complications of any kind is living with the lowest quality of life, those who have seen relatives dealing with complications know what I am talking about).

So passing on this knowledge that I pass on every day in the clinic or balancing diabetics in my online programs - prevents death.

Sorry for the drama of that post but it’s the truth.

Let’s stay balanced everyone🧘🏼
