Carl and Carrie talk to Elena Gross who uses a ketogenic diet to successfully control her migraines.

Carl and Richard discuss Type 2 Diabetes. How does one get it? Is it reversible? How does it differ from Type 1 Diabetes? How does the medical establishment tell you to manage it? What does the standard recommended diet for Type 2 diabetics look like? These are all questions Carl and Richard tackle on this week's 2 Keto Dudes. Errata: Richard said that a study showed that people with an HbA1c under 8.5 might still be able to see a reversal with an intervention that lowered serum triglycerides - the study was "Very-Low-Calorie Diet and 6 Months of Weight Stability in Type 2 Diabetes: Pathophysiologic Changes in Responders and Nonresponders" and the non-responder group (no reversal of pancreatic burnout) had an HbA1c of 8.4% ± 0.3, the responders (reversal of pancreatic burnout) had an HbA1c of 7.1% ± 0.3 - so if glucose control turns out to be the discriminator the cut off may be between 7.4% and 8.1%.

This week Richard Morris and Carl Franklin talk about sweeteners other than table sugar, the good and the bad. Errata: Carl mistakenly said that he had an insulin response to the Truvia brand sweetener (Erythritol + Stevia), but in fact it was the Fructevia brand, which combines fructose with Stevia.

Today Richard and Carl geek out on Protein. So much of what they do is separating fact from fiction, and this episode is no different. Did you know that excess protein turns into glucose? Of course, there is science to back all of this up. Good thing the dudes have learned to harness their OCD for the powers of good! Eratta: Carl mentioned that sugars like glucose and fructose trigger an insulin response but only glucose does. Fructose doesn't require insulin to be metabolized. Richard mentioned that after 6 months of keto he was left with "massive" muscles, this is in relation to the muscles he thought he totally didn't have before he started keto.

Richard and Carl talk about their experiences with fasting. You should always consult your doctor before starting a fast. That said, both Carl and Richard had great experiences with fasting. It's not what you think. It's much better. Eratta Richard mentioned that his regular glucose is 5.2 mmol/l and incorrectly converted that to 80 mg/dl which is incorrect. 5.2 mmol/l is actually 93 mg/dl. There is an online tool for converting between mmol/l and mg/dl at http://en.mte.cz/conversion.php
Richard shares his knowledge of how semaglutide works and offers a few things to watch out for.
