As a 50 year old man who was once thin and active but now is sitting at 320 lbs and lethargic, let me tell you, you don't want to end up where I am now. I ate and drank anything I wanted when I wanted for the past 25 - 30 years and it has all caught up with me. Just about every symptom on this board is what I am now experiencing daily and let me tell you, it is no joke. I now worry about my health everyday. Get right with food first then work on your fitness. It's time people let's stop the madness!
Don't give up Bill, try to eat more healthy, start light exercise and activity. I'm 53, once weighed 265 pounds, I'm down to 200 so far ( height 5'11). Take you time. YOU CAN DO IT!!
Good on you to start stopping this madness of eating yourself to death. Its never too late, but have a look at my anser up top. Keto is my answer to this. And as the Doc said: it works a mint.
Good luck to you .. its wonderfull you reflect and know it . I hope you find a great more healthy way of living now .. change takes time but is possible
You can do this. You're still young(ish) and you would be amazed at how resilient the human body is. You CAN get your health back. You are in control of that journey. Good luck

This guy is awesome... My fasting blood glucose was at 265 last October.... I immediately went on keto... and his videos helped me push through temptation... I also do intermittent fasting... usually one meal a day... occasionally 2.. 3 months later I'm down 35 lbs and my fasting glucose is 70... I haven't had a single cheat day, which is hard throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas...
I had nearly all of these. It culminated with a one week intensive care stay after a hemmorhagic stroke. They didn't ask once about diet, only everything else and then prescribed a blood pressure medication. I changed to a low carb and sometimes keto diet plus intermittent diet after leaving and have not been sick in any way (including head or stomach aches)in two years. My lifelong allergies and sleep apnea are gone as are any aches or pains plus waking to urinate six times a night. No mood swings. No endless gas. Lost excess weight. No more medications after first round. If anyone is wondering, cut sugars and veg oils as close to zero as you can and carbs to a low number, I just wish I had known this as a kid or as a teen.
Hi Gordon, I'm interested in an update to your health. I'm not in the same boat, but feel like I'm standing in line waiting for my turn to board. I'm pre-diabetic, over-weight and addicted to sugar. What was your first step to your better health? If you have a few minutes, I'd really like to know.
My husband ended up in the hospital having a mild heart attack. They put a heart monitor on him which led them to more testing. They put in a stent that prevented a massive heart attack. The dr said his diabetes and high blood sugar was masking the heart problems. He definitely would have died. It’s definitely not worth it
@@slicunit this guy is great. If you are still struggling, check out Dennis Pollack, Dr Jason Fung and Dr Ken Berry. They are all excellent in reversing diabetes (type 2) and what dietary changes you need to make.
I was never able to lose weight, no matter how much exercise I did et cetera. 7 months ago I changed to an ultra low carb diet, and I have lost 42 LB. I prayed about it first and God gave me the answer.
@@gigantopithecushominoidea8779 one of the names for Jesus Christ is the Great Physician. During his life on Earth, he healed the sick, made the blind see, and raised the dead.
@@kathygann7632 quick update, now I've lost a total of 48 lb. I eliminated High carbohydrate foods and I eat meat and cheese. My blood pressure is down, and I feel great. I cannot believe I've lost this much weight.
I haven't been diagnosed with this yet, but I literally have had ALL these symptoms for almost 10 years. It's gotten so intense lately that life isn't very enjoyable. Over the past few years I've been doing I.F. and weight training, diet changes and monitoring, and I've been managing it alright. I was diagnosed with IBS a few years back, but that was it. It went no where other than ME taking control of it. It's insane how you talk about everything I've dealt with and complained about to doctors for years, yet I haven't gotten an answer. THIS seems like the answer, so I'll focus on getting a doctor to check me out. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain in detail.
I notice to that doing daily chores are getting hard to do. Time I get home from work Im exhausted. I've notice after 15 minutes of cleaning I need a break. Is this what you are experiencing?
Make sure your doctor does A1c I ask for one for years my doctor wouldn't do it. I know I was diabetic for at least 15 years. Maybe longer just because it doesn't show in regular blood work. Does not mean you are not diabetic? He even had my liver ultrasound cause he said I had a fatty liver and never checked me for diabetes. If he wasn't dead himself now I would really be telling him off
Exactly what I'm going thru too. Have been asked by every doctor for 25 years if I'm diabetic, and I'm not. And they haven't told me I'm pre diabetic either. So what's wrong with me? Well I guess I know now. I really like this guy.
Why have I never seen this Dr before? I have learnt more from him in 10 minutes than I did from others in 6 months, he uses terms that the ordinary man on the street understands. His videos should be mandatory public broadcasts, the money and lives that would be saved because people were better informed would only benefit the health service, the citizens and the country as a whole (UK)
@rugbydazz2264 : I totally agree with your comment. I've learned more here viewing these videos than I ever did with my own doctor who's been my primary caregiver for over 25 years. Yes, I also agree that this information could be used to educate students in public schools, I don't see why not. ☺
Wife here… at 61, w/fibromyalgia and Lyme disease, let me tell you. I have learned more today by listening to this fabulous doctor than all my other doctors since 2002 when the worst of my symptoms started. I don’t want to into detail, as we do not have all day here, but suffice it to say I will be dropping the bad habits still left and begin to see a healing journey instead of this current nightmare I’ve been stuck in for over 20 years now! I am so sick every night, all night/morning and not just because of what illnesses I have. It’s because of my daily sugar intake PERIOD! Thank you so much for breaking this down into palatable portions of information I can easily digest and using common sense, apply to my every day life! I would go so far as to say you have saved me from a fate worse than death! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You are saving my life Dr Sten. I have all 10 of these symptoms and am re-acting badly to meds. My doc dismisses diet but now I'm listening to you. Thank you.
My mother in law was taking shots of insulin. She was 80yrs old and I put her on keto and reversed her diabetes..no more shots or pills. Only took 3 months! She lost 35lbs also,. I lost 80 lbs, normal blood pressure, lower cholesterol, normal blood sugar. I am 56 yrs old. I did not do any exercising either.
Doc you don’t even know how much this video means to me. I’ve been addicted to sugar since I was a kid. I always wondered why I had bad anxiety and just thought something was wrong with me. Now that I’m 33 I started getting the belly fat and skin tags along with some of the bowel symptoms you mentioned. I never knew it was my blood sugar causing all these problems. Since watching this video 2 days ago I have drastically reduced my sugar and carb intake and I already feel better! Doc thank you for sharing this knowledge!
Thank you Cullan Shine. Then we would have health care (90%) in addition to sick care (10%), instead of the current 100% sick care. My contribution are my videos. We have to build the health care outside the current system. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” Buckminster Fuller
It would take generations for the majority to change even if the conventional health system stepped down. Most people eat for pleasure. They just don't get that we need food to feed the bodies needs not because it's tasty.
@@kidvinie6491 Not completely true on eating for pleasure. Once you go on a keto diet or water fast long enough to eliminate sugar cravings (a few days to a few weeks depending on the person) your taste buds change and foods start to taste different. Junk food is no longer appetizing.
Thank You so much Dr. Sten Ekberg. I wondered why I developed all these skin tags, digestive issues, some rashes and crazy cravings. I spent the last month educating myself on RUclips regarding Keto. You and several others have helped me to understand my diet and lifestyle need to change… keep on educating us! I'm kinda a geek and like to understand the science and physiology. I am 60 years young but feel 80. All cabinets cleaned out, four days into it. Reduced meals to 2 a day while alternating to 3 a day. Rather, cranky and noticing I used food for a lot of coping reasons. Carb withdrawal is real !
I gave up sugar a couple of months ago, and after watching this I'm glad that I did. I had a few of these signs, I'm feeling way better now for giving it up. Not missing sugar at all.
I'm a prediabetic and I just eat veggie omelettes as my diet and drink water and never any carbonated drinks. I try to run 5 laps around the neighborhood whenever my schedule allows me to and my doctor told me that I lost 20 lbs since I found out my previous blood sugar. I'm doing my best to reverse my condition.
5 weeks in Keto and OMAD and I reduced my A1C from 5.3 to 5.0 and my fasting insulin from 10! to 4!! Lost 40 lbs in 5 weeks feel incredible. I owe you one Dr
A Year ago I was scheduled for a surgery, and my doctor wanted me to get some blood work done. I was completely floored when my fasting glucose was 355 and my A1c was 13.5. I was caught off guard because i didn't exhibit any of the classic signs for diabetes. I was considers slightly overweight (15 lbs), no blurred vision, no nerve pain, etc. For 11 months I was struggling to maintain low Glucose. 135-160 and an A1c of 7.5. I was prescribed 500mg of metformin daily, and a low carb diet. I found Dr Ekberg's videos about a month ago. And I started the Keto Diet, with intermittent fasting. Mostly 16/8 but sometimes 18/6. With the Keto Diet, I eat less, and feel more full for longer. I fast from 6:00pm to 10:00am. I take a 10 mile Bike ride 3 times a week. Well the results speak for themselves. I lost 20lbs ( Considered Healthy on the BMI scale) My daily glucose ranges 85-110, and I feel like I did in mt 20's. July 1 brings my one year anniversary of my type 2 diabetes diagnosis. I wanted to thanks Dr Ekberg for steering me to right path.
I realised I had diabetes at 27 and was almost dead at 40 . I was about to loose my right foot and my left kidney. I suspected it was coming from what I was eating so I made a list and one by one began removing each food for one week at a time and when i removed Sodium nitrate my sugar dropped drastically over a period of 6 months. There are more symptoms associated with diabetes such as not being able to sleep extreme fatigue caused by the pancreas constantly trying to release insulin but sugar level never reaching the desired 4.9 anxiety depression anger and very bad stamina due to cardiovascular issues. I'm 56 today and run 8 kms twice a week without even breaking a sweat and I almost forgot ... I never went to a doctor, my symptoms directed me to the answer. Great video doctor
I never know that I have high blood sugar.9/10 of this symptoms I have at the age of 37 this is wake up call to me that I need to change my lifestyle. Thanks alot Dr.
This is not a joke: I went to my doctor last week. I told her I constantly have yeast infection. I also asked her if this could be related to being a prediabetic patient. She answered me: " I have never heard any relationship between high glucose and yeast infection ". God, save me from these doctors!
This is exactly why I have no faith in our healthcare system. I've learned more from professionals posting extremely valuable information that actually works. My HMO doctor treated my symptoms, not the root of the problem. Just ask Dr. RUclips instead, and begin to heal...
i am 32 years old and obese, I have high blood pressure and most probably have diabetes, after realizing all of this I am now on a no rice and one meal a day diet. So far I have lost 6 kilos in a span of 1 month and I am determined to hit my normal body weight. I am still young and this is still reversible. I hope we all change our attitude when it comes to eating. Fasting really helps.
I've watched so many videos over the past year-and-a-half on weight loss, keto, healthy lifestyle. I've been needing to lose about 50 lb after getting really sick having my fourth child. That was 6 years ago. This video has informed me in a way no other video has. I really appreciate your tone and explanation. It's giving me the courage to do something more. Always seemed so simple until you get started. But with this support in this video I genuinely feel ready thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information, doc. I tried for years to help my mother better manage her diabetes but unfortunately she fell into a diabetic coma and passed away seven years ago. I have been more mindful of my health ever since.
Just 3 out of 10, 2 months ago... Am soooooo blessed to have found your channel before it's too late for me. So informative and as always easy to comprehend. You're definitely our life saver, Doc Sten!
@@donwinston There is no safe way to eat ZERO carbs. All vegetables and fruits have carbs, even those considered healthy. All dairy (and non dairy) also has carbs. Almond milk is very low, but still has some. And even a KETO diet has SOME carbs. I do agree to zero sugar
Kim Bond Don’t eat starchy or sweet vegetables and don’t eat fruit. Fruit has way too much sugar. Some berries are ok in small quantities but not every day. Keep carbs at less than 20 grams a day for weight loss.
@@donwinston Just to clarify, you said "Not 'less' but zero". I don't know why people continue to say "zero" carbs. That would limit you to water, most fish, poultry, most red meat, butter, and oil. Not a healthy diet for ANYONE, not even a diabetic. I've even heard people say their doctor told them zero carbs, and they didn't know what to eat. I do understand zero sugar, but there's a difference. So for the sake of understanding, you didn't really mean ZERO CARBS, did you?
@@kimbond7085 I was exaggerating. I mean't to just eat vegetables that have "minimal" carbs. But I no longer believe this anymore. I've learned that type 2 diabetes is not caused by eating carbohydrates, even sugar. it is caused by eating fat and simply eating too much food. I've quit the ketogenic diet because it has caused my LDL measurements to zoom higher. I can "cure" my diabetes and even decrease my heart disease risk by eating a high carb and low fat diet. The ketogenic diet is dumb.
I can tell you from my experience that I started to get skin tags about 3 years ago (age 43). I started a ketogenic diet shortly thereafter. About 3 months later, the skin tags disappeared. I'm pretty sure that I was pre-diabetic when I started keto. I am still on keto and benefit from it every day.
Best vid on diabetes I've seen in quite a while. I've been an insulin dependent type two for 14 years and this vid makes me want to take control.........NOW! Thank you for your in depth research.
Been on keto diet for 10 months I am 45 years old 6 foot and lost almost 90 lbs from 272 to 184 lowered my blood pressure lowered heart rate no pains jumping out of bed any more feal younger thank you for your help!
I have two, weight gain which leveled off after losing weight initially then went into weight loss and i'm not sure if number 8 can cause bleeding gums and etc but potentially it sounds like i'm on the way to diabetes and whilst i think my diet is relatively ok I believe I can narrow it down to my sugar intake. I do eate takeaway once a week but everyday when i come home from work I sually have a coffee with a lot of sugar and i reckon that'll be the main culprit if that's what is happening here. Might be time for some diet changes.
Thank you for this video. I have lived with a hard lesson my entire life as my mother was a diabetic. My mother would always sit me down and explain all of this and ensure that I clearly understood. Well, last summer I started experiencing some signs of Neuropathy which sent me straight to the doctor to get some blood work done. I would experience this after a day or two of heavy socializing which included beer and high carb foods. I refused to be on Metformin and decided to make lifestyle changes. I did very strict Keto and IF for 3 months (October - December) and now do Low Carb and Hi Protein with IF of 18/6. The reason for the diet change was that I found I was losing a lot of muscle mass. I am now at the gym doing resistance training and putting more weight off. I am now down 42 pounds as of the first week of October. I am also putting muscle mass back on. All of this at the age of 55.
Went keto. My 25-year psoriasis went away in 2 months. My dermatologist wouldn't believe it at first. Then she called me later to ask about my keto diet so she could prescribe it to her other patients.
@@saras.2173 Thank you very much for this useful information. That's very kind of you. Certainly, I will go and check on Dr Beth's channel. Happy New Year to you, ms Sara. God bless you.
I’m so glad I don’t have all these symptoms. I was pre diabetic and had 2-3 of these , once I increased my water 💧, cut the sugar about 85%. And if you sweat when you work out that’s great! ACV ( apple cider vinegar + cayenne +lemon and ginger ) and lazy keto diet really helped me with exercise 3 times a week ,,,,
I'm someone who spent two decades feeling both exhausted and still hungry after eating, debilitating brain fog/headaches daily, IBS symptoms, frequent urination, skin tags, trouble sleeping, irritability and weight gain. My doctors even theorized I had some debilitating disease. I was given Metformin and it only made me more hungry and anxious. So I tried removing all gluten and sugar from my diet. After I stopped eating gluten and sugar, all these things went away. I don't know if dropping sugar and gluten were the silver bullet I needed. But I found that within two weeks of going off of them cold turkey, I had a lot more willpower and no headaches. With that added willpower, I was able to exercise daily and eat only fruit/vegetables/legumes/lean meat/dairy/potatoes for my meals. Which then resolved all the other problems. I experimented with trying to eat a small amount of gluten and sugar during Christmas of 2019 (dinner rolls, pie and fudge) and the symptoms instantly came back. It was like a train ran over my head, I had such a massive headache and brain fog. So I went back to eating zero gluten/sugar and the symptoms disappeared within three days. They haven't been back the whole month of January. Long story short, in my experience, getting off gluten and sugar works. Hopefully most people don't have as severe of symptoms as I did. But I'd still recommend avoiding added sugar for anyone.
Look up gluten ataxia symptoms, 2:yrs of thinking it was stress, and 8 yrs of undiagnosed turmoil and finally I found out this is what was causing all my problems! I had every single symptom. I feel like I have my life back and it only took 10yrs to figure out......
Thank you for your very good explanation! I just want to point out I had a lot of the symptoms but nothing was done because my blood sugar was always between the normal range. Years later I heard about pre- diabetic ant that your blood sugar can still be normal but that your insulin to produce ‘ the normal’ sugar level can be way out of control, you can produce till 10 times more insulin to keep a normal blood sugar level. Also the insulin level stays high a very long time after a meal. This makes you sick (a lot of the symptoms you mention above) and gain weight. Therefore the advice from some doctors is to test not only for blood sugar level but also for insulin resistance (Kraft test). You also can test it yourself in practice: reduce dramatically the carbs and the sugars (keto) to reduce insulin production. Do you loose weight as a consequence of less insulin production? Then you had insulin resistance. Insulin is the fat storage hormone that pushes the sugar in the cells to remove it from the bloodstream, and insulin simultaneously blocks the release of fat from your fat cells. (This is logic it would be weird to have a system that stores in and out at the same time, If you lower the insulin dramatically by almost removing the sugars and the carbs, the fats can be released from storage, 17:18 you loose weight and you have proven the insulin resistance.
I have to say this video was one of The Best informative videos than any one has posted!!! Brilliant job, and thank you so much for making it. I would greatly appreciate if you may post a video on type1 diabetics in kids. Things that no one talks about it or I would say they are afraid of mentioning it. Thank you😊
I had a lot of the symptoms but my blood test was always normal. However diabetes is in my family. I have 3 siblings with type 2. So I started intermittent fasting. One month in and I got new glasses because my eyesight got better. All of my other symptoms are leaving or gone. I'm still fat but I'm down 10 pounds and continuing to stay with it. I sleep great where I use to have chronic insomnia
This is scary. I have five in the list already. But I am glad I saw this after starting Keto with IF last week. In the last few days of doing this I have stopped gaining weight and actually lost close to a pound. That hasn't happened in a long time. This video gave me the incentive I needed to lower my carbs further. Many thanks!
My 5 year old grandson was having violent outburst every time we went to town. I noticed it was after lunch out so I grabbed an A1C and tested him, 5.6. He started a new diet that day. Major withdrawls the first week. 6 weeks into it how behavior is so much better, he's so much happier! I have high hopes for next month when we do his A1C again
Thats my biggest gripe in the keto community, you see everyone making vids of what they eat everyday then you see them feed their kids CRAP! Why, why why??????
What do you mean by "I grabbed an A1C and tested him"? I thought you can only find your A1C levels by having your blood drawn and tested in a lab. Or is there some kind of home test?
@@drekberg first, thanks for bringing us this information!! Couple questions: What is your perspective on eating or juicing sweet fruit? Does a change in diet over time make the skin tags go away?
My trigger fingers gone, my Psoriasis & Skin tags, all in 18 months, plus the tooth thing too, to name a few. Best thing I ever did, giving up sugar & going Keto. Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all, & take care of yourself to. ❤🙂🐶
I am getting a better education on Utube than in school. In grade school, I read how bad sugar can be; but never imagine it to be fatal as a nation. I watch your videos a lot.
I don't have health issues, but I am so happy that this Dr is giving medical education to the public. Physicians today are LOW GRADE. This is the most important thing a good Dr can do: educate! Blessings good man!
I am a Holistic nutritionist, and I watch COUNTLESS videos and get information overload!! Your information though is worth the time and I am a HUGE fan of you and all of your videos and information. Please keep it coming because you have become my trusted teacher! 👍😊
Problem is he may not be correct. Another theory suggests excess fat in the cells interferes with insulin signalling . Ask yourself why people on a whole food plant based diet with carbs in the 60-80 percent range have low rates of type 2 diabetes. Keto diets may just mask the underlying condition. When keto dieters eat carbs again does their sugar spike ? If it does nothing has been cured and they may be making the problem worse by driving more fat into the cells.
Thank you Sandy Glover. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
@@drekberg Thank you. Non human animals all seem to do well eating the same diet. Why should humans be the exception? Not trying to undermine your message because I agree with most of what you say.
@@drekberg I'm in my mid-30s now, and I wish that I had been given this information in high school. It's only been the past 3-4 years that I've made significant changes, so it's been a real slog to get on to a healthy track.
Another great video Dr. I have skin tags. Tried to get rid off it with Salicylic Acid. But the cause is high blood sugar. This fact really shocked me. All my family, uncles, older cousins etc..have type2 diabetes and high cholesterol. I am determined to fast until I don't have insulin resistance, or I am so called overweight..I learn so much about eating or NOT to eat from you. Thank you....
What a fantastic channel - great information from a doctor who is in great shape. Thank you Dr Ekberg - you walk it like you talk it. I started LCHF about 5 weeks ago and I’ve lost about a kilo a week. It really works!
You are such a great speaker. So much detail, but never boring. The only thing I would add to this topic is to include some social factors that also lead people to eat. Such as family members who aren't diabetic and eat as they wish. Also stress, drug, and alcohol use. Either by family members and friends, or diabetics themselves. These factors should not be discounted for they are very real.
I started the Keto diet two weeks ago. I injected about 45 units of insuline per day, 315 to 330 units per week. I took four pills for my heart and diabetes. Today, I inject 0 to 10 units per day, and certainly less than 20 units per week. I cut my pills in halve, so that's a 50% reduction. AND I have lost over 2 kilos. Of fat, not water. That is a dramatic change. In just TWO weeks. I don't eat bread, sugar, and I don't drink milk. For many decades, we have been lied to by doctors. Only 10% of what we can buy in the shops is decent food. The rest are carbohydrates and sugar. No wonder everybody has diabetes, these days. Not me. Not anymore. I have been properly informed !!!!
Doctors that give type 2 people insulin without testing their blood insulin levels should go to jail. moreover their school should be burnt to the ground and professors flogged. But you could also bake them a cake.
My grandma had type 1 diabetes. At 32 im taking of my diet because the insuline resistance kicked in for me. Thnk you for your valuable advice. I avoid carbs now. Im taking it seriously.
Thank you Doctor for your time and knowledge of this important topic. This is by far the most important teaching on this topic..and done in a way that was simply for all to understand and live by..
every video boils down to 'Keto will help you', and so it has helped me so much and I'm 69, my BP just measured 111/67 in the evening, I take zero medications
My blood sugar was high b4 i reversed it through your video lectures (6 months in the making) and i was having dizzyness and felt unbalanced, turned out my gastro said it was my vagus nerve causing it...also skin tag appeared out of nowhere on my eyelid.... Again you are spot on.
I def already have dementia! However being in a medical field practice it has challenged my brain so much!! One of the best things I could have done for myself
Thank you so much for this and your other videos. You have an amazing way of very clearly defining and explaining these subjects. Have been a nutritional/lifestyle self-sleuth for decades. You are my top nutritionist channel of the dozens I've followed. Just great! Thanks so much.
Dr. Ekberg I have been following you within the last month...drawn to you bec I am following IF. You continue to provide valuable information....THANK YOU!!!! I keep a note pad next to me when I watch your videos....I take copious notes....you break down information in a digestible way that gives relevance to important information that MANY PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND!!! THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU. My goal is to be off ALL MEDICATIONS this year....I will achieve it....you are AMAZING!!!!
I watched a lot of videos and you are probably the only person that actually want people to be healthy. You break down things to were other people skip over a lot of information that we need.
Thank you HALFMAN HALFAMAZING. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Wow, that is an eye-opener! I knew about some of this because my husband developed diabetes. But I had no idea about a lot of the other stuff. My husband's friend also has diabetes and as much as the doctor tries to help him, our friend doesn't understand and then takes no notice. He continues to eat and drink a lot of carbs. Watching him of late we have seen a downturn in his abilities and I am positive he is on a timer that is about to run out. If he survives 2022 I will be surprised. Thank you for opening my eyes that much wider.
Today, I am 20 kilos lighter than when I started Keto !! I have new glasses, because my eyes were getting better !! My skin feels wonderful. I sleep better. My body odour has almost disappeared (I did NOT expect that. NOBODY mentions this, in their videos !). My armpits are neutral in smell. My whole body is, actually... More energy. No digestion problems. Skin tags are getting smaller and the small ones have already disappeared. I haven't taken any pills or injected any insulin for a couple of months, now. I ONLY use my handkerchiefs for cleaning my glasses.... My teeth stay clean. It's a breeze. Very, very little plaque and it's easy to remove. And lots of other nice improvements were noticable. Keto is easy. And the best diet ever. Period.
@@ppumpkin3282 ... Then you are an exception. It works for most people. After all, no garbage in = no garbage out. You must be doing something wrong. There could be something in your diet that should be left out.
Hello Dr. Ekberg. I am begining to grasp this new world I just found with your videos. A holistic doctor is what I needed. You will hear from me again!!! Thank you.
I was pre diabetic & was hypertensive already But after 8 months of Keto all is normal. Thank God I told my doctor not to Prescribe me maintenace meds yet, And promised to drop my weight. Happy to live healthier. Lost 28.5kg in 8months
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I definitely need to reduce my weight and sugar/carb intake. The hardest thing for me is food prep. High carb foods are so convenient.
My girlfriend is a type 1 diabetic and wasn't sick and diagnosed til she was 28 so she had to relearn how eat somewhat, not completely because her mom was a health nut so she and her brother weren't raised on prepackaged or fast food to begin with. But she also has a very physically demanding job as a train conductor and engineer, for freight not people lol,, and on call 6 days a week. Depending on what they call her for and where it could be 18 hours from the time she leaves til she gets back so she had to learn to meal prep and great snacks that she can eat Depending if her blood sugar is higher than normal or if she needs something to hold her over if she's running low but can't stop to eat! My favorite thing she preps are her awesome breakfast sandwiches using josephs pita bread that's low carb. Honestly perfect for anyone. If you need any advice or suggestions feel free to let me know and I'm happy to help
Dr Ekberg....there are some people that are really smart and worth listening to. Some that say some stuff that I'd rather not waste my time on. Then there are those who have the most vital information necesary....BUT they are poor at explaining (teaching).....YOU Dr. Ekberg are EXCEPTIONAL in your knowledge and your teaching abilities. As a scientist and former teacher myself... I can only applaud you for helping me make sense out of nonsense and not wasting my time doing a 100 years of studying (I don't think I have another 100 years left on this earth, LOL). I learned from some excellent professors as an undergrad...one of the things I learned was that if you can't reduce things to the least common denominator and explain your subject simply enough that even grandma can understand it....you probably really don't have a firm grasp of the concepts and knowledge yourself. i.e. : see Einstein and his simple equation for energy.
I am on keto 6 months, OMAD, 3 days dry fast twice , while fasting 36 hours sugar lresding went to 11.9 after 2 hours 6.5 and always ketosis are low but have lots of energy no hunger why
You are a miracle worker...I brag you and your channel up to EVERYONE that will listen. Thank you for your teachings, your time in helping others understand these sadly common things happening and your kind heart. Bless you!
Thanks to your teachings I turned the wheel around. I am healthier than I have ever been. Lots of energy, mental stability. FInally I made friends with my body and can take proper care of it. 💕
Thank you Doc... So enlightening advise for me i am a pre diabetic luckily i think i don't have those symptoms yet and i don't wanna intend to have those in the future... Thank you and God bless!
Dr. Ekberg I absolutely love your videos!! I finally understand how my body works and what I need to do! Many years of up and down weight, with diet and exercise.Thank you for providing the world with your knowledge for better, long lasting health!!❤
Thank you so much dr. I wish there was someone in Brazil, speaking Portuguese about that and therefore saving so many limbs, sight and lives around here.
What I like about your videos is that you go right into the subject of the video, some site have a 15 min explanation before even getting into the topic, good job
Best description of signs of high blood sugar for the layperson out there! Listen to this man, please. Tell send your family and friends a copy of this; you may save their life!
Even if I did not want to listen to this , your composure and delivery change that . I am 49 years old and I did a blood sugar test last year .the doctor says it's 5.8 and he says that's good. However thangs for the other informations it helps a lot .
I think this is unfair to doctors. Where I live doctors aren't paid by the number of prescriptions they write. They are actually discouraged to overprescribe because it is taxing on the public health insurance system and most doctors are public employees here. The problem is that international recommendations on diet have dictated that we should eat a low fat/sodium whole foods diet, which necessarily pushes the amount of carbs up as a percentage of energy intake. Probably 90% or more of doctors have no intention of making themselves rich at the expense of their patients' health.
With the exception of doctor Ekberg and other similarly knowledgable practitioners, many doctors are ignorant of the primary effects of nutrition on the body having never been taught it in medical school. The massive amounts of incorrect information and the the active disinformation relating to the causes of cardiovasular disease and diabetes (fats vs sugar) and the role of carbohydrates make it extremely difficult for the average person to sort out. Add to that the capitalism drive for profitable mega corporations, is it surprising that the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry are the way they are? There is not nearly the amount of money to be made disseminating nutrition information that would correct or prevent a lot of diseases than the current system. The answers to most of the world's major health issues have been hiding in plain sight. It is thanks to the efforts of Dr. Ekberg and others that the message is finally getting out.
I was diagnosed as prediabetic. The doctor's office took a "wait and see" attitude. No one mentioned I'd be diabetic in 5 years if I didn't do something about it! The traditional healthcare system has failed us. (By the way, I've done something about it on my own. Now I found an "Integrative Medicine" office that seems to understand.)
Who said you can t know ur diabetic until it's to late ? How about simple fast clear Blood tests ? Hba1c is to be tested.for accurate results its sugar level for the last three month
Excellent explanation . Very useful . Now IAM 73 years old , not diabetic, but I have peripheral neurosys . Suffering a lot and taking high doses of Gabapentin ,added to this problem ,have lots indigestion and constipation problems . Please suggest way out of these problems
Youve done tremendously for me doc, its been a year since i saw one of ur vids thats when i finally began taking care or my health.ive dropped about 40pounds now and taking nutrition and hiit seriously but reasonably! Thanks doc 🥰🇵🇭💖
This is such a valuable video, Dr. Ekberg! Thank you so much for helping me and others see the root causes of things that are going on in our bodies! You're a gem :) As for neuropathies, can they be fully reversed or does it do permanent damage to nerve pathways?

How often is too frequent urination? I think I'm fine but just want to be sure.
Amazing info, like dr. John bergman's in describing the stress state of the body. Thanks dr. Ekberg.👍🏼🍀
I urinate almost every hr...but i don't drink that often...just maybe 8-10 glasses a day..at night I get up 2-3 times to urinate...is it still normal? If i check my sugar at home just around 90-100...I don't eat too much sweets, but i eat rice 2x a day around 1to 1 1/2 cup every meal..
Vengeful Fiend Are you up at night to pee? Do you to pee even though you seem not to drink that much? That’s frequent, that’s too much😊
As a 50 year old man who was once thin and active but now is sitting at 320 lbs and lethargic, let me tell you, you don't want to end up where I am now. I ate and drank anything I wanted when I wanted for the past 25 - 30 years and it has all caught up with me. Just about every symptom on this board is what I am now experiencing daily and let me tell you, it is no joke. I now worry about my health everyday. Get right with food first then work on your fitness. It's time people let's stop the madness!
Don't give up Bill, try to eat more healthy, start light exercise and activity. I'm 53, once weighed 265 pounds, I'm down to 200 so far ( height 5'11). Take you time. YOU CAN DO IT!!
Good on you to start stopping this madness of eating yourself to death. Its never too late, but have a look at my anser up top. Keto is my answer to this. And as the Doc said: it works a mint.
Good luck to you .. its wonderfull you reflect and know it . I hope you find a great more healthy way of living now .. change takes time but is possible
Best wishes to you. I hope you are feeling well. God Bless you.
You can do this. You're still young(ish) and you would be amazed at how resilient the human body is.
You CAN get your health back. You are in control of that journey.
Good luck

Sweet Jesus. These are all symptoms I've had for about 3 years now and it's just been getting worse.
This guy is awesome... My fasting blood glucose was at 265 last October.... I immediately went on keto... and his videos helped me push through temptation... I also do intermittent fasting... usually one meal a day... occasionally 2.. 3 months later I'm down 35 lbs and my fasting glucose is 70... I haven't had a single cheat day, which is hard throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas...
I followed him, Dr Jason Fung and Beat Diabetes channel.. and got my A1C from 14,5 to 6,5 within 3 month .. what a shame to the health system we have.
tom newark - wow that’s amazing👌🏽💖
tom newark 👍🏼🎉
@tom newark Good for you.👍
Awesome willpower! Congratulations to your wonderful health journey.
I had nearly all of these. It culminated with a one week intensive care stay after a hemmorhagic stroke. They didn't ask once about diet, only everything else and then prescribed a blood pressure medication. I changed to a low carb and sometimes keto diet plus intermittent diet after leaving and have not been sick in any way (including head or stomach aches)in two years. My lifelong allergies and sleep apnea are gone as are any aches or pains plus waking to urinate six times a night. No mood swings. No endless gas. Lost excess weight. No more medications after first round. If anyone is wondering, cut sugars and veg oils as close to zero as you can and carbs to a low number, I just wish I had known this as a kid or as a teen.
Hi Gordon, I'm interested in an update to your health. I'm not in the same boat, but feel like I'm standing in line waiting for my turn to board. I'm pre-diabetic, over-weight and addicted to sugar. What was your first step to your better health? If you have a few minutes, I'd really like to know.
My husband ended up in the hospital having a mild heart attack. They put a heart monitor on him which led them to more testing. They put in a stent that prevented a massive heart attack. The dr said his diabetes and high blood sugar was masking the heart problems. He definitely would have died. It’s definitely not worth it
Nothing wrong with olive oil or coconut oil though 😉
@@slicunit this guy is great. If you are still struggling, check out Dennis Pollack, Dr Jason Fung and Dr Ken Berry. They are all excellent in reversing diabetes (type 2) and what dietary changes you need to make.
Thank you!
I was never able to lose weight, no matter how much exercise I did et cetera. 7 months ago I changed to an ultra low carb diet, and I have lost 42 LB. I prayed about it first and God gave me the answer.

@@kathygann7632 quick update, now I've lost a total of 48 lb. I eliminated High carbohydrate foods and I eat meat and cheese. My blood pressure is down, and I feel great. I cannot believe I've lost this much weight.
I haven't been diagnosed with this yet, but I literally have had ALL these symptoms for almost 10 years. It's gotten so intense lately that life isn't very enjoyable.
Over the past few years I've been doing I.F. and weight training, diet changes and monitoring, and I've been managing it alright.
I was diagnosed with IBS a few years back, but that was it. It went no where other than ME taking control of it.
It's insane how you talk about everything I've dealt with and complained about to doctors for years, yet I haven't gotten an answer. THIS seems like the answer, so I'll focus on getting a doctor to check me out.
I really appreciate you taking the time to explain in detail.
Yeah well, you're Dr Evil so you deserve it!
I notice to that doing daily chores are getting hard to do. Time I get home from work Im exhausted. I've notice after 15 minutes of cleaning I need a break. Is this what you are experiencing?
Make sure your doctor does A1c I ask for one for years my doctor wouldn't do it. I know I was diabetic for at least 15 years. Maybe longer just because it doesn't show in regular blood work. Does not mean you are not diabetic? He even had my liver ultrasound cause he said I had a fatty liver and never checked me for diabetes. If he wasn't dead himself now I would really be telling him off
Did your dr mention ANY diet modifications/ elimination at all?
Exactly what I'm going thru too. Have been asked by every doctor for 25 years if I'm diabetic, and I'm not. And they haven't told me I'm pre diabetic either. So what's wrong with me? Well I guess I know now. I really like this guy.
Why have I never seen this Dr before? I have learnt more from him in 10 minutes than I did from others in 6 months, he uses terms that the ordinary man on the street understands. His videos should be mandatory public broadcasts, the money and lives that would be saved because people were better informed would only benefit the health service, the citizens and the country as a whole (UK)
@rugbydazz2264 : I totally agree with your comment. I've learned more here viewing these videos than I ever did with my own doctor who's been my primary caregiver for over 25 years. Yes, I also agree that this information could be used to educate students in public schools, I don't see why not. ☺
Wife here… at 61, w/fibromyalgia and Lyme disease, let me tell you. I have learned more today by listening to this fabulous doctor than all my other doctors since 2002 when the worst of my symptoms started. I don’t want to into detail, as we do not have all day here, but suffice it to say I will be dropping the bad habits still left and begin to see a healing journey instead of this current nightmare I’ve been stuck in for over 20 years now! I am so sick every night, all night/morning and not just because of what illnesses I have. It’s because of my daily sugar intake PERIOD!
Thank you so much for breaking this down into palatable portions of information I can easily digest and using common sense, apply to my every day life! I would go so far as to say you have saved me from a fate worse than death! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Pharma et al, won't allow this to be mandatory, wouldn't help their 'cause'😞

You are saving my life Dr Sten. I have all 10 of these symptoms and am re-acting badly to meds. My doc dismisses diet but now I'm listening to you. Thank you.
How are you doing now Candy? 😊
Your doctor should be struck off, if that's the case...
Hope you are feeling better after 10 months
My mother in law was taking shots of insulin. She was 80yrs old and I put her on keto and reversed her diabetes..no more shots or pills. Only took 3 months! She lost 35lbs also,. I lost 80 lbs, normal blood pressure, lower cholesterol, normal blood sugar. I am 56 yrs old. I did not do any exercising either.
Smh how can he dismiss diet when that directly causes high blood sugar and thus these symptoms 🤦
Doc you don’t even know how much this video means to me. I’ve been addicted to sugar since I was a kid. I always wondered why I had bad anxiety and just thought something was wrong with me. Now that I’m 33 I started getting the belly fat and skin tags along with some of the bowel symptoms you mentioned. I never knew it was my blood sugar causing all these problems. Since watching this video 2 days ago I have drastically reduced my sugar and carb intake and I already feel better! Doc thank you for sharing this knowledge!
If only people like you ran the country's healthcare system!
Thank you Cullan Shine. Then we would have health care (90%) in addition to sick care (10%), instead of the current 100% sick care. My contribution are my videos. We have to build the health care outside the current system.

It would take generations for the majority to change even if the conventional health system stepped down. Most people eat for pleasure. They just don't get that we need food to feed the bodies needs not because it's tasty.
Dr. Sten Ekberg Well said 😊
@@kidvinie6491 Not completely true on eating for pleasure. Once you go on a keto diet or water fast long enough to eliminate sugar cravings (a few days to a few weeks depending on the person) your taste buds change and foods start to taste different. Junk food is no longer appetizing.
Thank You so much Dr. Sten Ekberg. I wondered why I developed all these skin tags, digestive issues, some rashes and crazy cravings. I spent the last month educating myself on RUclips regarding Keto. You and several others have helped me to understand my diet and lifestyle need to change… keep on educating us! I'm kinda a geek and like to understand the science and physiology. I am 60 years young but feel 80. All cabinets cleaned out, four days into it. Reduced meals to 2 a day while alternating to 3 a day. Rather, cranky and noticing I used food for a lot of coping reasons. Carb withdrawal is real !
❤❤
Dr Ekberg , your lectures should be taught in all media and in all languages to help humankind.
I gave up sugar a couple of months ago, and after watching this I'm glad that I did. I had a few of these signs, I'm feeling way better now for giving it up. Not missing sugar at all.
They should show this in the schools, every student, every month!!! All through high school. Maybe it would sink in by the time they graduate.
You are so right!

I'm a prediabetic and I just eat veggie omelettes as my diet and drink water and never any carbonated drinks. I try to run 5 laps around the neighborhood whenever my schedule allows me to and my doctor told me that I lost 20 lbs since I found out my previous blood sugar. I'm doing my best to reverse my condition.
5 weeks in Keto and OMAD and I reduced my A1C from 5.3 to 5.0 and my fasting insulin from 10! to 4!! Lost 40 lbs in 5 weeks feel incredible. I owe you one Dr
A Year ago I was scheduled for a surgery, and my doctor wanted me to get some blood work done. I was completely floored when my fasting glucose was 355 and my A1c was 13.5. I was caught off guard because i didn't exhibit any of the classic signs for diabetes. I was considers slightly overweight (15 lbs), no blurred vision, no nerve pain, etc. For 11 months I was struggling to maintain low Glucose. 135-160 and an A1c of 7.5. I was prescribed 500mg of metformin daily, and a low carb diet. I found Dr Ekberg's videos about a month ago. And I started the Keto Diet, with intermittent fasting. Mostly 16/8 but sometimes 18/6. With the Keto Diet, I eat less, and feel more full for longer. I fast from 6:00pm to 10:00am. I take a 10 mile Bike ride 3 times a week. Well the results speak for themselves. I lost 20lbs ( Considered Healthy on the BMI scale) My daily glucose ranges 85-110, and I feel like I did in mt 20's. July 1 brings my one year anniversary of my type 2 diabetes diagnosis. I wanted to thanks Dr Ekberg for steering me to right path.
Good job, keep it up!
Good for you, im happy for you, keep it up!
I realised I had diabetes at 27 and was almost dead at 40 . I was about to loose my right foot and my left kidney. I suspected it was coming from what I was eating so I made a list and one by one began removing each food for one week at a time and when i removed Sodium nitrate my sugar dropped drastically over a period of 6 months. There are more symptoms associated with diabetes such as not being able to sleep extreme fatigue caused by the pancreas constantly trying to release insulin but sugar level never reaching the desired 4.9 anxiety depression anger and very bad stamina due to cardiovascular issues. I'm 56 today and run 8 kms twice a week without even breaking a sweat and I almost forgot ... I never went to a doctor, my symptoms directed me to the answer. Great video doctor
That's great dude! What are your favorite foods to stay full? Did you try intermittent fasting at all?
Fantastic!
I never know that I have high blood sugar.9/10 of this symptoms I have at the age of 37 this is wake up call to me that I need to change my lifestyle. Thanks alot Dr.
This is not a joke: I went to my doctor last week. I told her I constantly have yeast infection. I also asked her if this could be related to being a prediabetic patient. She answered me: " I have never heard any relationship between high glucose and yeast infection ".
God, save me from these doctors!
Wow! This info has been known for decades!! Time to find a new doctor.
This is exactly why I have no faith in our healthcare system. I've learned more from professionals posting extremely valuable information that actually works. My HMO doctor treated my symptoms, not the root of the problem. Just ask Dr. RUclips instead, and begin to heal...

i am 32 years old and obese, I have high blood pressure and most probably have diabetes, after realizing all of this I am now on a no rice and one meal a day diet. So far I have lost 6 kilos in a span of 1 month and I am determined to hit my normal body weight. I am still young and this is still reversible. I hope we all change our attitude when it comes to eating. Fasting really helps.

@@donwinston There is no safe way to eat ZERO carbs. All vegetables and fruits have carbs, even those considered healthy. All dairy (and non dairy) also has carbs. Almond milk is very low, but still has some. And even a KETO diet has SOME carbs. I do agree to zero sugar

@@donwinston Just to clarify, you said "Not 'less' but zero". I don't know why people continue to say "zero" carbs. That would limit you to water, most fish, poultry, most red meat, butter, and oil. Not a healthy diet for ANYONE, not even a diabetic. I've even heard people say their doctor told them zero carbs, and they didn't know what to eat. I do understand zero sugar, but there's a difference.
So for the sake of understanding, you didn't really mean ZERO CARBS, did you?
@@kimbond7085 I was exaggerating. I mean't to just eat vegetables that have "minimal" carbs. But I no longer believe this anymore. I've learned that type 2 diabetes is not caused by eating carbohydrates, even sugar. it is caused by eating fat and simply eating too much food. I've quit the ketogenic diet because it has caused my LDL measurements to zoom higher. I can "cure" my diabetes and even decrease my heart disease risk by eating a high carb and low fat diet. The ketogenic diet is dumb.
I can tell you from my experience that I started to get skin tags about 3 years ago (age 43). I started a ketogenic diet shortly thereafter. About 3 months later, the skin tags disappeared.

I have two, weight gain which leveled off after losing weight initially then went into weight loss and i'm not sure if number 8 can cause bleeding gums and etc but potentially it sounds like i'm on the way to diabetes and whilst i think my diet is relatively ok I believe I can narrow it down to my sugar intake.
I do eate takeaway once a week but everyday when i come home from work I sually have a coffee with a lot of sugar and i reckon that'll be the main culprit if that's what is happening here.

Thank you for this video. I have lived with a hard lesson my entire life as my mother was a diabetic. My mother would always sit me down and explain all of this and ensure that I clearly understood. Well, last summer I started experiencing some signs of Neuropathy which sent me straight to the doctor to get some blood work done. I would experience this after a day or two of heavy socializing which included beer and high carb foods. I refused to be on Metformin and decided to make lifestyle changes. I did very strict Keto and IF for 3 months (October - December) and now do Low Carb and Hi Protein with IF of 18/6. The reason for the diet change was that I found I was losing a lot of muscle mass. I am now at the gym doing resistance training and putting more weight off. I am now down 42 pounds as of the first week of October. I am also putting muscle mass back on. All of this at the age of 55.

ACV ( apple cider vinegar + cayenne +lemon and ginger ) and lazy keto diet really helped me with exercise 3 times a week ,,,,
I have been recently diagnosed with diabetes and started keto immediately and so far had lost 20 lbs. I stopped sugars altogether.
Do they have a book on keto diet? Because i don t know what it is
This is a great video. I am a nurse. I still learned a lot.
I'm someone who spent two decades feeling both exhausted and still hungry after eating, debilitating brain fog/headaches daily, IBS symptoms, frequent urination, skin tags, trouble sleeping, irritability and weight gain. My doctors even theorized I had some debilitating disease. I was given Metformin and it only made me more hungry and anxious. So I tried removing all gluten and sugar from my diet.
After I stopped eating gluten and sugar, all these things went away. I don't know if dropping sugar and gluten were the silver bullet I needed. But I found that within two weeks of going off of them cold turkey, I had a lot more willpower and no headaches. With that added willpower, I was able to exercise daily and eat only fruit/vegetables/legumes/lean meat/dairy/potatoes for my meals. Which then resolved all the other problems. I experimented with trying to eat a small amount of gluten and sugar during Christmas of 2019 (dinner rolls, pie and fudge) and the symptoms instantly came back. It was like a train ran over my head, I had such a massive headache and brain fog. So I went back to eating zero gluten/sugar and the symptoms disappeared within three days. They haven't been back the whole month of January.
Long story short, in my experience, getting off gluten and sugar works. Hopefully most people don't have as severe of symptoms as I did. But I'd still recommend avoiding added sugar for anyone.
Look up gluten ataxia symptoms, 2:yrs of thinking it was stress, and 8 yrs of undiagnosed turmoil and finally I found out this is what was causing all my problems! I had every single symptom. I feel like I have my life back and it only took 10yrs to figure out......
Thank you very much. I'm trying to get off sugar and carbs, but when I'm stressed that's what goes into my mouth.
How long did it take for u to alleviate the symptoms
Are there any real sugar substitutes
Thank you for your very good explanation! I just want to point out I had a lot of the symptoms but nothing was done because my blood sugar was always between the normal range. Years later I heard about pre- diabetic ant that your blood sugar can still be normal but that your insulin to produce ‘ the normal’ sugar level can be way out of control, you can produce till 10 times more insulin to keep a normal blood sugar level. Also the insulin level stays high a very long time after a meal. This makes you sick (a lot of the symptoms you mention above) and gain weight. Therefore the advice from some doctors is to test not only for blood sugar level but also for insulin resistance (Kraft test). You also can test it yourself in practice: reduce dramatically the carbs and the sugars (keto) to reduce insulin production. Do you loose weight as a consequence of less insulin production? Then you had insulin resistance. Insulin is the fat storage hormone that pushes the sugar in the cells to remove it from the bloodstream, and insulin simultaneously blocks the release of fat from your fat cells. (This is logic it would be weird to have a system that stores in and out at the same time, If you lower the insulin dramatically by almost removing the sugars and the carbs, the fats can be released from storage, 17:18 you loose weight and you have proven the insulin resistance.
Some of this is different in women. Also stress causes a lot of these symptoms. I will agree that people need to dramatically reduce sugar intake.
I have to say this video was one of The Best informative videos than any one has posted!!! Brilliant job, and thank you so much for making it. I would greatly appreciate if you may post a video on type1 diabetics in kids. Things that no one talks about it or I would say they are afraid of mentioning it. Thank you😊
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!
I was never diagnosed but I had MANY of these symptoms. I’ve lost 80lbs with Keto WOE and feel much better
Big thrill. W e l l d o n e
I had a lot of the symptoms but my blood test was always normal. However diabetes is in my family. I have 3 siblings with type 2. So I started intermittent fasting. One month in and I got new glasses because my eyesight got better. All of my other symptoms are leaving or gone. I'm still fat but I'm down 10 pounds and continuing to stay with it. I sleep great where I use to have chronic insomnia
This is scary. I have five in the list already. But I am glad I saw this after starting Keto with IF last week. In the last few days of doing this I have stopped gaining weight and actually lost close to a pound. That hasn't happened in a long time. This video gave me the incentive I needed to lower my carbs further. Many thanks!
My 5 year old grandson was having violent outburst every time we went to town. I noticed it was after lunch out so I grabbed an A1C and tested him, 5.6. He started a new diet that day. Major withdrawls the first week. 6 weeks into it how behavior is so much better, he's so much happier! I have high hopes for next month when we do his A1C again
Thank you tjkasgl. Amazing. 5 years old. Imagine the life of chronic disease that you saved him from.
Thats my biggest gripe in the keto community, you see everyone making vids of what they eat everyday then you see them feed their kids CRAP! Why, why why??????
What do you mean by "I grabbed an A1C and tested him"? I thought you can only find your A1C levels by having your blood drawn and tested in a lab. Or is there some kind of home test?
@@drekberg first, thanks for bringing us this information!! Couple questions: What is your perspective on eating or juicing sweet fruit? Does a change in diet over time make the skin tags go away?
My trigger fingers gone, my Psoriasis & Skin tags, all in 18 months, plus the tooth thing too, to name a few. Best thing I ever did, giving up sugar & going Keto. Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all, & take care of yourself to. ❤🙂🐶
God bless you for naming subjects and helping others

Maxi Bake do you mean your skin tags disappeared? I didn't think they could disappear.
Thanks Dr, Sten for helping millions of the people including me by sharing your wealth of knowledge on the human body.
I am getting a better education on Utube than in school. In grade school, I read how bad sugar can be; but never imagine it to be fatal as a nation. I watch your videos a lot.
I don't have health issues, but I am so happy that this Dr is giving medical education to the public. Physicians today are LOW GRADE. This is the most important thing a good Dr can do: educate! Blessings good man!
I am a Holistic nutritionist, and I watch COUNTLESS videos and get information overload!! Your information though is worth the time and I am a HUGE fan of you and all of your videos and information. Please keep it coming because you have become my trusted teacher! 👍😊
Problem is he may not be correct. Another theory suggests excess fat in the cells interferes with insulin signalling . Ask yourself why people on a whole food plant based diet with carbs in the 60-80 percent range have low rates of type 2 diabetes. Keto diets may just mask the underlying condition. When keto dieters eat carbs again does their sugar spike ? If it does nothing has been cured and they may be making the problem worse by driving more fat into the cells.
@Doug Livingstone. I am correct. Different people need different tools. I'll do a video on that relatively soon.
Thank you Sandy Glover. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Sandy Glover Check out Butter Bob.
@@drekberg Thank you. Non human animals all seem to do well eating the same diet. Why should humans be the exception? Not trying to undermine your message because I agree with most of what you say.
For this to not be required viewing in high school is just criminal.
Thank you InsideOfMyOwnMind
Because the government doesn’t care about our health
@@drekberg I'm in my mid-30s now, and I wish that I had been given this information in high school. It's only been the past 3-4 years that I've made significant changes, so it's been a real slog to get on to a healthy track.
Agreed!
@@AntiquityCentury21 keep it up!!! Your health is worth it.
Another great video Dr. I have skin tags. Tried to get rid off it with Salicylic Acid. But the cause is high blood sugar. This fact really shocked me. All my family, uncles, older cousins etc..have type2 diabetes and high cholesterol. I am determined to fast until I don't have insulin resistance, or I am so called overweight..I learn so much about eating or NOT to eat from you. Thank you....
What a fantastic channel - great information from a doctor who is in great shape. Thank you Dr Ekberg - you walk it like you talk it. I started LCHF about 5 weeks ago and I’ve lost about a kilo a week. It really works!
This guy teaches like a pro. Wish he was my high school health teacher. Bravo!
You are such a great speaker. So much detail, but never boring. The only thing I would add to this topic is to include some social factors that also lead people to eat. Such as family members who aren't diabetic and eat as they wish. Also stress, drug, and alcohol use. Either by family members and friends, or diabetics themselves. These factors should not be discounted for they are very real.
I started the Keto diet two weeks ago.
I injected about 45 units of insuline per day, 315 to 330 units per week. I took four pills for my heart and diabetes.
Today, I inject 0 to 10 units per day, and certainly less than 20 units per week. I cut my pills in halve, so that's a 50% reduction.
AND I have lost over 2 kilos. Of fat, not water.
That is a dramatic change. In just TWO weeks.
I don't eat bread, sugar, and I don't drink milk.
For many decades, we have been lied to by doctors. Only 10% of what we can buy in the shops is decent food. The rest are carbohydrates and sugar.
No wonder everybody has diabetes, these days.
Not me. Not anymore.
I have been properly informed !!!!
telescopereplicator tgv
Well done 👏
telescopereplicator congrats
Doctors that give type 2 people insulin without testing their blood insulin levels should go to jail. moreover their school should be burnt to the ground and professors flogged.
But you could also bake them a cake.
Mr.M you can’t be serious!!! For one, keto is not a “substance”...haha!! You really need to educate yourself...
Thank you, Dr Sten Ekberg ❤👍
My grandma had type 1 diabetes. At 32 im taking of my diet because the insuline resistance kicked in for me. Thnk you for your valuable advice. I avoid carbs now. Im taking it seriously.
Thank you Doctor for your time and knowledge of this important topic. This is by far the most important teaching on this topic..and done in a way that was simply for all to understand and live by..
Wow! Thank you Dr. Ekberg. Honestly, I can’t thank you enough. This really opened my eyes.
but you have 4 eyes
every video boils down to 'Keto will help you', and so it has helped me so much and I'm 69, my BP just measured 111/67 in the evening, I take zero medications
Keto is not for everyone. Especially some thyroid conditions. People have to figure out what works best for them
@@starrjohnson1327 you sound down on Keto, did you try it?
@@jimbeaver27 I'm not downing keto. One diet does not suit everyone. Have a nice day.
@@starrjohnson1327 have you tried Keto though?
@@starrjohnson1327 actually many people with thyroid issues have benefitted from a keto or keto/carnivore diet. Look it up.
My blood sugar was high b4 i reversed it through your video lectures (6 months in the making) and i was having dizzyness and felt unbalanced, turned out my gastro said it was my vagus nerve causing it...also skin tag appeared out of nowhere on my eyelid.... Again you are spot on.
I def already have dementia! However being in a medical field practice it has challenged my brain so much!! One of the best things I could have done for myself
Thank you so much for this and your other videos. You have an amazing way of very clearly defining and explaining these subjects. Have been a nutritional/lifestyle self-sleuth for decades. You are my top nutritionist channel of the dozens I've followed. Just great! Thanks so much.
Very well explained bit by bit
Thanking u doc for making public aware so we can b better prepared
👍🏼
I Wish I knew this 20 years ago.
Thank you Mogadous. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. Better late than never😀
For me I wish I knew 35 yrs ago
Me too!!!!
If I had this knowledge 25-35 years ago, I might have straightened out my hormones and been able to have children.
I m 24 and watching this vedio.....I think I have prediabetes....my causes are high carb and zero active life
Dr. Ekberg I have been following you within the last month...drawn to you bec I am following IF. You continue to provide valuable information....THANK YOU!!!! I keep a note pad next to me when I watch your videos....I take copious notes....you break down information in a digestible way that gives relevance to important information that MANY PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND!!! THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU. My goal is to be off ALL MEDICATIONS this year....I will achieve it....you are AMAZING!!!!
I watched a lot of videos and you are probably the only person that actually want people to be healthy. You break down things to were other people skip over a lot of information that we need.
Thank you HALFMAN HALFAMAZING. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.

I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Wow, that is an eye-opener! I knew about some of this because my husband developed diabetes. But I had no idea about a lot of the other stuff. My husband's friend also has diabetes and as much as the doctor tries to help him, our friend doesn't understand and then takes no notice. He continues to eat and drink a lot of carbs. Watching him of late we have seen a downturn in his abilities and I am positive he is on a timer that is about to run out. If he survives 2022 I will be surprised. Thank you for opening my eyes that much wider.
Thanks to your lessons I have taken control of my diet and I am on the road to recovery
Today, I am 20 kilos lighter than when I started Keto !! I have new glasses, because my eyes were getting better !!
My skin feels wonderful. I sleep better. My body odour has almost disappeared (I did NOT expect that. NOBODY mentions this, in their videos !). My armpits are neutral in smell. My whole body is, actually... More energy. No digestion problems. Skin tags are getting smaller and the small ones have already disappeared. I haven't taken any pills or injected any insulin for a couple of months, now. I ONLY use my handkerchiefs for cleaning my glasses.... My teeth stay clean. It's a breeze. Very, very little plaque and it's easy to remove. And lots of other nice improvements were noticable.
Keto is easy. And the best diet ever. Period.
low carb diets increase my body odor.
@@ppumpkin3282 ... Then you are an exception. It works for most people.
After all, no garbage in = no garbage out.
You must be doing something wrong. There could be something in your diet that should be left out.
@@ppumpkin3282 it's most likely a detox effect from going low carb. Hopefully it will go away over time.
Hello Dr. Ekberg. I am begining to grasp this new world I just found with your videos. A holistic doctor is what I needed. You will hear from me again!!! Thank you.
I was pre diabetic & was hypertensive already But after
8 months of Keto all is normal. Thank God I told my doctor not to Prescribe me maintenace meds yet, And promised to drop my weight. Happy to live healthier. Lost 28.5kg in 8months
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I definitely need to reduce my weight and sugar/carb intake. The hardest thing for me is food prep. High carb foods are so convenient.
My girlfriend is a type 1 diabetic and wasn't sick and diagnosed til she was 28 so she had to relearn how eat somewhat, not completely because her mom was a health nut so she and her brother weren't raised on prepackaged or fast food to begin with. But she also has a very physically demanding job as a train conductor and engineer, for freight not people lol,, and on call 6 days a week. Depending on what they call her for and where it could be 18 hours from the time she leaves til she gets back so she had to learn to meal prep and great snacks that she can eat Depending if her blood sugar is higher than normal or if she needs something to hold her over if she's running low but can't stop to eat! My favorite thing she preps are her awesome breakfast sandwiches using josephs pita bread that's low carb. Honestly perfect for anyone. If you need any advice or suggestions feel free to let me know and I'm happy to help
Agin your the best medical advisor I have ever been blessed to have come across .
Damn. I've ticked 8/10 points on the white board. This was informative and most accurate.
l'm calling a doctor to make appointment for a blood sugar test because some of the signs apply to me. Thank you so much, need to take action
Dr Ekberg....there are some people that are really smart and worth listening to. Some that say some stuff that I'd rather not waste my time on. Then there are those who have the most vital information necesary....BUT they are poor at explaining (teaching).....YOU Dr. Ekberg are EXCEPTIONAL in your knowledge and your teaching abilities. As a scientist and former teacher myself... I can only applaud you for helping me make sense out of nonsense and not wasting my time doing a 100 years of studying (I don't think I have another 100 years left on this earth, LOL).
I learned from some excellent professors as an undergrad...one of the things I learned was that if you can't reduce things to the least common denominator and explain your subject simply enough that even grandma can understand it....you probably really don't have a firm grasp of the concepts and knowledge yourself. i.e. : see Einstein and his simple equation for energy.
I am on keto 6 months, OMAD, 3 days dry fast twice , while fasting 36 hours sugar lresding went to 11.9 after 2 hours 6.5 and always ketosis are low but have lots of energy no hunger why
You are a miracle worker...I brag you and your channel up to EVERYONE that will listen. Thank you for your teachings, your time in helping others understand these sadly common things happening and your kind heart. Bless you!
I was looking for years someone like you to explain about health. awesome videos. the world needs more like dr Ekberg. Thank you!!!
You have awakened me to the dangers of sugar and carbs. I have 2 symptoms. Thank u. God bless.
Thanks to your teachings I turned the wheel around. I am healthier than I have ever been. Lots of energy, mental stability. FInally I made friends with my body and can take proper care of it. 💕
Thank you Doc... So enlightening advise for me i am a pre diabetic luckily i think i don't have those symptoms yet and i don't wanna intend to have those in the future... Thank you and God bless!
Dr. Ekberg I absolutely love your videos!! I finally understand how my body works and what I need to do! Many years of up and down weight, with diet and exercise.Thank you for providing the world with your knowledge for better, long lasting health!!❤
Thank you so much dr. I wish there was someone in Brazil, speaking Portuguese about that and therefore saving so many limbs, sight and lives around here.
It’s kind of funny because you guys grow most of our sugar in America.
What I like about your videos is that you go right into the subject of the video, some site have a 15 min explanation before even getting into the topic, good job
Thanks for the information. You have Increased my life.
@ Dr Ekberg, are you sleepy after eating because you sugar is going up or going down, even after a low carb dinner? Thank you for the video.
I always assumed it was because sugar was doing down and insulin up, but I want to hear what dr. Says
Me too!
Frustrating to feel extreme fatigue after meals!
It’s your blood sugar crashing after it was high. So it’s low blood sugar and high insulin
Humans saver thank you. I will spread your videos everywhere let’s do it guys
Thank you and will share..
Best description of signs of high blood sugar for the layperson out there! Listen to this man, please. Tell send your family and friends a copy of this; you may save their life!
Even if I did not want to listen to this , your composure and delivery change that . I am 49 years old and I did a blood sugar test last year .the doctor says it's 5.8 and he says that's good. However thangs for the other informations it helps a lot .
Doctors won't give people a low carb option,because no money is to be made doing that,only prescribing med's.
I think this is unfair to doctors. Where I live doctors aren't paid by the number of prescriptions they write. They are actually discouraged to overprescribe because it is taxing on the public health insurance system and most doctors are public employees here.
The problem is that international recommendations on diet have dictated that we should eat a low fat/sodium whole foods diet, which necessarily pushes the amount of carbs up as a percentage of energy intake. Probably 90% or more of doctors have no intention of making themselves rich at the expense of their patients' health.
Doctors actually do, people don’t obey

Doctors always tell people to lose weight but they don’t tell people how to lose weight correctly .

With the exception of doctor Ekberg and other similarly knowledgable practitioners, many doctors are ignorant of the primary effects of nutrition on the body having never been taught it in medical school. The massive amounts of incorrect information and the the active disinformation relating to the causes of cardiovasular disease and diabetes (fats vs sugar) and the role of carbohydrates make it extremely difficult for the average person to sort out. Add to that the capitalism drive for profitable mega corporations, is it surprising that the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry are the way they are? There is not nearly the amount of money to be made disseminating nutrition information that would correct or prevent a lot of diseases than the current system. The answers to most of the world's major health issues have been hiding in plain sight. It is thanks to the efforts of Dr. Ekberg and others that the message is finally getting out.
I was diagnosed as prediabetic. The doctor's office took a "wait and see" attitude. No one mentioned I'd be diabetic in 5 years if I didn't do something about it! The traditional healthcare system has failed us. (By the way, I've done something about it on my own. Now I found an "Integrative Medicine" office that seems to understand.)
Be aware of Diabetes! Great explanations doc. God bless!
Thanks Doctor
Thank you so much doc
💪
Who said you can t know ur diabetic until it's to late ? How about simple fast clear Blood tests ? Hba1c is to be tested.for accurate results its sugar level for the last three month
Salamat doc
WOW Dr Ekberg I love to watch your video I learn do much from you
Excellent explanation . Very useful . Now IAM 73 years old , not diabetic, but I have peripheral neurosys . Suffering a lot and taking high doses of Gabapentin ,added to this problem ,have lots indigestion and constipation problems . Please suggest way out of these problems
Youve done tremendously for me doc, its been a year since i saw one of ur vids thats when i finally began taking care or my health.ive dropped about 40pounds now and taking nutrition and hiit seriously but reasonably! Thanks doc 🥰🇵🇭💖
This is such a valuable video, Dr. Ekberg! Thank you so much for helping me and others see the root causes of things that are going on in our bodies! You're a gem :)
