    Based on my 5.7 A1C, 15 large underarm skin tags and chronic fatigue, I was undoubtedly pre-diabetic for 10 years, yet my doctor never seemed concerned. 11 months ago I started watching Dr Berry and other keto influencers. 3 months into keto and IF, my A1C was down to 4.7, I had lost 50 lbs and my blood pressure had dropped from 144/98 to 110/70. Now I am down a total of 111 lbs, my BP is 105/70 and all but the three largest skin tags have shrunken to nothing. Plus my joint pain is much less and I can actually walk 5-6 miles every day now. Friends and neighbors comment on my weight loss, and I try to educate them on keto, but they just shake their heads that they just don't have the "will power" to drastically cut carbs.

      Just would like to say that cutting all carbs and doing intermittent fasting can wreck your metabolism and a couple of years from now you start to inexplicably gain weight again and your hormones are tanked. I can't even count how many women this has happened to. And then they go to a pro-metabolic way of eating to fix it. Check out Kitty Bloomfield, Kate Deering for starters. Just be careful, don't overdo the fasting and don't cut all the carbs out. SOME women seems to be ok, but they eat a lot of fat and have clearly been able to fat adapt. This seems to be the exception to the rule. It's way more common that women don't do well long term on low carb.

      My first three months of keto I was very strict -- almost zero carbs and no fruit or sweeteners. My A1C went from 5.7 to 4.7. The next three months, I let berries, nuts, and sweeteners back in and my A1C at the end was back up to 5.0. It is crazy how much effect this had considering I used to consume gallons of milk, orange juice, and soda pop as well as bread and cereal every week. Add back just a handful of berries and nuts per week, though ...

      I recently experienced this last week after starting strength training.... taking supplements... giving up bread..and eating more fats and less veg.... I'm a 28 year old male. Not over weight so I didnt know what it was.
      But yesterday I went for a short run.
      And about 10 mins after I finished it's like the blood just flowed back and my Ed went away... so I'm starting to think i have a blood flow problem .. i dont know where its cone from though if its stress... or is it high cholesterol from eating fats or what it is because it came from nowhere really.

    Thank you Dr Berry, you helped me reverse my pre diabetes. 26 months ago your skin tag video woke me up. Over the next few months I lost 35 lbs and all of the sore joints felt 15 years younger. I had to beg my doc for an a1c test a month into eating low carb high fat meals. They relented when I wouldn't settle for anything less. I was 5.9. My toes were becoming either sore or numb depending on the day. All joints hurt. Hungry all day. They said no problem. We'll just keep an eye on it. Eat more fruits and veg and cut out fat meats 🍖 . They only make money when we're all sick.

    55 years old, 227 lbs at 5'11", itchy breakouts on my shins, water retention in my ankles and feet, constant painful inflammation in both Achilles and a blood sugar reading of 115. At my yearly physical a month and a half ago, nothing was mentioned about prediabetes, what my blood sugar number was or what to do about it. After I saw my blood sugar number at home, I knew it was time to get serious and heal myself. I've been educating myself by watching and rewatching videos by Dr Berry on nutrition. In about 7 weeks I've lost 28 pounds, itchy breakouts, water retention, foot pain and 1 seemingly unconcerned physician. I know too much now to eat the way I used to, and believe the next 20 pounds I need to lose will not be a struggle at all.

    Dr. Berry, I am so glad you catch the pre diabetics early. When you have diabetes, it is so much harder to reverse. I did KETO/Carnevore for two years and lost zero weight. Everyone makes you think you have no will power and are doing something wrong. My blood sugar would not go below 200 but I was only eating 0 carb meat. My liver was releasing insulin, fighting against me. I was put on Ozempic which helps my liver and pancreas be more fuctional. I am finally losing weight and keeping normal blood sugars.

    Dr. Berry, I have been following you now for almost a year, and in that year's time, I have lost 85 LBS, and I do feel SO MUCH BETTER! My doctor, last year, wanted to put me on insulin, because she said my sugars were just WAY TOO HIGH. How high, don't know. She never did say. But I told her NO. I am not going on insulin, I am going on KETO, and I'm going to correct this mess with eating properly. Almost a year later now, I am now mostly CARNIVORE, but I did buy a monitor to check my sugars each day, and in the beginning of last year, my sugars were around 170 in the mornings, and fell to around 145 in the afternoons after fasting all day. Now, my morning sugars are around 85 and fall to around 67 by the afternoons and I feel GREAT, even though I do eat lunch now. My lunch is usually 2 grilled chicken tenders, and that's it, other than a 20oz bottle of water with my keto drops in it. I have noticed though, that after I eat my lunch, or even my dinner at night, I get what I refer to as "sugar shakes", so I'll check my sugars just to see what in the world is happening, and my sugars spike up from 67 to 98...WHY???? WHAT AM DOING WRONG???? PLEASE HELP ME. I just need some advise from someone who KNOWS, cause God knows, my own doctor has NO CLUE.

Have the tingling/numbness in my feet, belly fat, skin tags, fatigue, etc. Began a journey to a LCHF diet, really amping it up about a month or two ago by tracking my macros.
    Today was glorious! Got my blood test results and my A1C is now 5.7! Down from a high of 6.2 about a year ago, and then 6.0 back in June. All without medication, just diet/lifestyle changes. Side bonus: my asthma, which hospitalized me when I was diagnosed, is completely manageable now.
    Next, reduce my weight and eventually get off HBP meds if I can.

And no one could ever give me answers. I’ve had blood tests but I bet they never checked my A1C. I will find out.

Keto fixed the cravings but I didn't suspect pre-diabetes until my a1c started going up. Being pretty strict keto for 2 yrs, I started to suspect the estrogen blocker i was taking. Found some studies, confirmed with my oncologist that the med could be the culprit. Stopped the med and added Metformin. 6mos later my a1c went from 6.6 to now 6.1 and the weight is coming off!

My VA provider sees me once a year unless I get sick which I haven't for the last 6 years- but they never told me that I was pre-diabetic EVER until My A1C was 6.7. Then they had me see a dietician for how to eat the SAD way. Now I am my own physician, I'm doing keto but not a clean one which I need to change since this is going to be my eating lifestyle until I jump to my next adventure.

Went keto/Hyper carnivore and lost the weight and had my a1c down fast. GP wouldn't hear of my concerns about my a1c being high because the UK now don't class it as pre diabetes unless it's 6. That was despite being at a surgery that is a leader in low carb (different GP). Had to tell him to ignore any increase in my cholesterol unless he spoke to his colleague.

      Hi Huey, if you're a real genuine person and not a sock account. Sorry, but you don't know who you're talking too on these platforms. You have my blessings and I hope you achieve your goal buddy. Everyone can do with a bit of love and encouragement. Can't be easy once you've gained a lot of weight. So good luck to you and blessings from the UK 🙏❤️🇬🇧
