Dr. Berry!!! By learning from your videos and following your recommendations, I got my a1c down from 6.9 to 5.6 in about 5 months. I have lost 60 pounds so far, about half way. I really feel that you have saved my life, and taught me how to live. Thank you with all my heart. I am so grateful for you.
@@KenDBerryMD Hi Dr may you please help me with some ideas for breakfast and lunch I found out I was pre diabetic 2 years ago and I can sometimes tell if I eat something my sugar drops really low especially if it’s something sweet like pancakes which I rarely do. I have a nut allergy and eggs are so bad on my stomach any suggestions please or if anyone else has some suggestions I’m not over weight I’m at 131 5’3, it would be very helpful thank you in advance
1. Being down or depressed 2. Extra belly fat 3. Cranky or irritable 4. Hungry 2 hrs after meals 5. Pcos 6. Skin conditions or tags 7. Worsening eye sight 8. Recurrent uti or skin infections 9. Cuts or abrasions take long to heal 10. Thirsty or urinate often 11. Burning or numbness 12. Tired even after good sleep 13. Haemoglobin A1C above 5.6
I ignored my pre-diabetes for years (and I'm probably type 2 without a formal diagnosis) but since discovering your videos I've transitioned to keto and I'm feeling so much better! Hoping to reverse all the damage I did to my body, thanks so much Dr Berry!
Same here. I've been doing Keto for almost 2 years now, lost 85 pounds, reversed diabetes, reduced the inflammation in my body and I actually feel much better than I have in thirty years. Thanks to Dr. Berry and his informative videos! ❤
Like Dr Berry said, you need to adhere to a strict, extremely low carbage diet! I’m reversing my T2D with Dr. Ken’s advice. I’m currently just sitting around the 6.0 range from a 11.7 A1C w/ full on T2D after having a come to Jesus meeting (MI + 3 Stints). I’m just saying is that it is reversible, but it will be a few months, years or the rest of your life but it beats the alternative realities!
What did you change or eat for keto to reverse your diabetes! I am not diabetic at least my doctor did not say anything , but my numbers for the last couple times was 5.8 and 5.6! Because of my slow thyroid!
@@NansGlobalKitchen Anything within the 5.6 - 6.4 A1C is Pre-Diabetic. 6.5 and above ☝️ and then you are full blown T2D, and a free pass GO directly to Metabolic Jail W/O collecting $200 but suffering from the complications of T2D. Be very careful and stay below ⬇️ the PD threshold and further down the road to metabolic hell! Dr. Berry has YT Videos on the interwebs discussing the Thyroid and remedies for a malfunctioning Thyroid found in foods
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.
I "don't have the will power" either right now, but by god I'm going to get it come hell or high water. I practice the Emotional Freedom Technique also called the tapping process and have written my own statements for each of the 8 meridian points specifically relating to my addiction to sugar and carbs. It is helping me gain that will power little by little.
Dr. Berry after years of being pre diabetic and having all those awful symptoms you mention, I finally did something about it 6 months ago I started eating a proper human diet, watched many of your videos, and stuck with it. I have lost 76 lbs, took up walking daily, tried to reduce stress and feel great! Finding a good MD around here is impossible, but you my friend have been a wealth of knowledge to have-thank you!
@@slaughterhouse5585 Thanks. Yes and it really was not a lot of work! Just eliminated all sugars, grains, well you know the drill if you know the PHD. Now my weight loss stalled , but will give it time. I am doing OMAD. Will see what my blood panel will be in a couple weeks.
Great info. I think what's really sad is that people don't realize that damage is being done to the nerves and blood vessels in pre-diabetics!! Thanks for always sharing such great advice!!
I was diagnosed with prediabetes, went straight on Keto the next day ( because my sister is type 2 and she sent me your videos, lol). I've lost 78 pounds and my A1c is back to normal....Thanks😊
I just found out I am pre-diabetic and I'm so confused on what to eat ! It's stressing me out. I've been googling what I should eat and not eat and I keep seeing the same foods pop up on both what and NOT to eat😭 so anything keto is what I should be looking for?
@@josephineramos3199 ...Look up Kristi Davis on RUclips, her channel helped me a lot..Meats, green veggies, cheese, butter, most nuts, salads, but no root vegetables like potatoes, carrots and such, no pasta or rice. No bread unless its very low carb and sugar free. Same with sweets...I hope this helps at least gets you started.😉
In August 2021 my A1c was 6.7. Now six months later I’ve dropped it to 5.5. Healthy eating and a promise to myself to get my blood sugar under control as well as dropping 55 pounds reversed my Type 2 diabetes.
@@keepwatching.3962 if yourve not done it why not put the effort in and just study Dr Berry's keto/diet and nutrition and educate yourself as the more you understand the reasoning the more you'll adapt and accomplish for yourself.
In July 2021, my A1C was 5.7. My doctor called me with results and told me that I needed to change my diet. Said to reduce my soda intake (which I had already done) and also fried fast food intake. I changed my eating habits by eating more vegetables and protein. I also don’t eat out as much. I drink more water. I have lost 37 lbs since August. Tested my A1C again in November and it was down to 5.5. I have also been monitoring my carbs.
Started keto/IF/OMAD in May, transitioned to Carnivore/IF/OMAD in Sept. Have lost 50 lbs, (now 140 lbs), BP now 111/65(down from 148/85), blood sugar morning 91(down from morning 138), no gout, no arthritic inflammation, no IBS, no reflux, no insomnia(sleep 8 hours nightly),no meds at all!😁🙌🙌 Feel soooo great!! I’m 70 and haven’t even shrunk, still 5’7”tall😂😂😄❤️ I love eating this way🥰 Thanks, Dr. Berry🥰
I’m pregnant and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes even though my A1c was normal at the beginning. But since I was diagnosed I’ve been doing a pretty low carb way of eating and strictly drinking water and working out 7.5 miles a day and I’ve felt better than ever before. I only have a little over a week till baby is here but I will continue this lifestyle because it has helped me so much! Thank you for all your videos and how informative they are!
Keep on top of your gestational diabetes; I went into remission after my son's birth but developed full-blown T2D years later and didn't know it until it was SEVERE. Best regards and congratulations.
Even when my doctor diagnosed pre-diabetes, I was not told to watch my diet, or even sugars! Just take this metformin and it's no problem! Many years ago when my mom was diagnosed, they gave her a printed diet plan to follow that limited sugar and carbs! Thanks for shedding light on this problem!! God bless you! 🤗🙏🙏
With my last two pregnancies I had gestational diabetes my youngest is 7 months and I felt better when I was on diabetic diet and I was loosing weight I need to get back to it wish healthier groceries were cheaper
I've started intermittent fasting, cut carbs, and started walking to work 4 days a week (2.5 miles) and doing online step classes everyday from home. I've lost ~7 pounds in the last month, feel better, and the habits I'm creating I can sustain. I have finally taken control of my health!
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.
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.
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.
I’m 45 and just found out I’m pre-diabetic. Today was actually my first day doing keto and IF. I’m too young to feel like this. Thank you for your information. It’s gold.
Someone who had pre diabetes like myself knows the importance of this video. People that are prediabetic when depressed will only eat a high carb snack just to fall into a deeper depression. But once they can learn what to eat it will make such a difference in their life. Thank you Dr. Ken for all you do
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.
You never heard of HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE and good diet have you? Get off your ass and get to it, nothing replaces high intensity exercise, not even the strictest of diets. Its not rocket science people.
Thanks for the advice. I haven't heard of high intensity training. I do see there are videos and it's not what I would assume from the name. I've been doing a lot of walking mixed with jogging which has definitely helped my overall health too.
I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and PCOS in my mid 30's. I'm 47 now with no signs of type 2 diabetes. I changed my diet the same day of my diagnoses and continue to modify it more as time goes on.
When I found out I was prediabetic I almost had a panic attack. I knew how serious it was. Like a miracle happened I found Dr. Barry's videos. Then Dr. Cywes. I'll never stop being grateful. Dr. Barry's message is so simple it's almost ridiculous. No expensive crap like shakes, etc. Just clean food with low or 0 carbs and. No sugar.
i am prediabetic and i am still confused what actually low carb mean.which low carb i should consume. I eat no sugar at all i consume less fruits ,lost 18 Ibs. But by not having carb at all i feel so weak. So would you please suggest what should i eat for carb. Thank you so much. Your response will be appreciated.
@@keepwatching.3962 You don't need carbs, it's possible you feel weak due to having a calorie deficit, which isn't a bad thing if you need to lose weight.
Thank you for always letting people know the truth about pre-diabetics and diabetics type 2 because people really need to know an educate themselves I found you and a few others when I became a diabetic and you guys help me tremendously thank you so very much for your hard work and for sharing your expertise in diabetes may the Lord bless you and your family........
Your videos are helping immensely. I had an HbA1c of 5.8 in Jan 2023 - doctor said no issues (i'm in the UK). I've just had it retested as feeling tired all the time, sweating more, much more belly fat (addicted to sugar) and it's now 6.1. Practice nurse wants to speak to me on Monday about it, but i'm watching all these videos and I know what to do. In reality I should have been addressing this last January, but I am where I am so i'm starting now. It's going to be hard giving up sugar but I know it's the right thing to do. Thanks for all the work you do getting this information out there.
A friend introduce me to your channel on February 1st. My average glucose level was 200 before I started. I followed what you recommended to lower my HGB A1C level. My last HGB A1C in December was 7.4. My average glucose level is now 100. I lost 7 lbs. I stopped taking 40 units a day of levermir on February 7th. I still take oral hyperglycemics. I will have a lab draw in March. Thank You! I feel so much better. Your videos saved my life. Hugs🥰
over the last 2 yrs ive been suffering from pins and needles in my hands and forearms usually in the mornings after waking up. No i was not sleeping on my arms. Sometimes in my feets and knees. I no longer suffer from this mysterious pain after being on a carnivore diet.
Dr. Bari, after following your keto diet for two weeks I’ve lost almost 15 pounds and have regained my energy. I don’t longer crave sweets and look forward to eating a diet rich and fats and proteins along with copious amounts of keto friendly vegetables. You’re definitely delivering on your Socrates oath. I commend you as a gentleman, a scholar and a trusted physician.
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.
I had many of the 13 symptoms. However, cravings & hunger 2hrs after eating has been the struggle of my adult life! 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! Thank you Dr. Berry for your informative videos. You keep me digging for root cause and I'm getting healthier!
I am lucky, my doctor is a regular Internal Med. MD and a nutritionist. So she came to ME about reversing my A1c number (which started at 6.3). She is the one who told me about the Keto plan and to rid sugar from my diet. I will check in again in a couple months with my lower A1c number (I have already claimed victory)! 😃
Great video! Informative and empowering, Dr. Ken Berry lays out crucial signs of pre-diabetes while emphasizing its reversibility through simple lifestyle changes. A must-watch for anyone looking to take charge of their health!
In ‘17 I had a surgery that required massive doses of steroids to control swelling and reduce the possibility of further damage. My a1c even on steroids was 4.9. I haven’t had another test done but it’s probably time. My last triglyceride was elevated and my doctor told me cut out the carbs which I’ve been doing then I found Dr. Berry and it got even easier. Thanks for the support.
Hey Guys! This Logan Delgado co-owner of BioCoach, sorry for glitch "saying sold out" we are not sold out and you are able order today :) Thank you for the support and thank you Ken Berry for always teaching and inspiring millions!
I worked in the VA hospital and that’s were I get my “healthcare”. Anyhow my Dr. said I had Pre-diabetes and from taking patients to appointments for kidney care,wound care, Various amputations and heart ♥️ work ect. Anyhow I was fat and tired and depressed and giving up. After my diagnosis it flipped a switch for me. Went home cleaned out all that bad food from my Kitchen. I knew something about sugar control from a short run with the vary popular Atkins plan, about 25 years ago. I’m much better now, no obese is great.
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.
Courtney, my A1C used to be 6.0 and the last time I checked it was down to 5.5 and I expect it to go lower. Highly recommend following Dr. B’s “101” videos.
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’m in Chattanooga. Went keto last year and carnivore this year. I’ll never stop eating this way. I’m sure I was or am prediabetic. No amount of working out or eating “healthy” would help me. I’m thankful for people like you and Mikhaila Petersen for helping me discover this WOE. Feeling sick for years is awful (over 10 yrs now since I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis). 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. I’ve had to grow an understanding of disease, diet, and nutrition to figure these things out on my own. Took me a long time but finally understanding how to heal myself. Good info Dr Berry.
I started on a journey to reverse this about two years ago, and accelerated based on the info I found here and elsewhere. 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.
I started a carnivore diet after thanksgiving because of your channel. Love all the info. I do use a few more seasonings than is normally allowed, but they aren't really affecting as far as I can tell and it makes it easier to stick to. I'm doing it primarily for weight loss because I am morbidly obese and have tried numerous ways to lose it and none of them worked for me. I love meat and not many veggies. I've lost around 35lbs so far and I feel great. I also only eat one meal a day, usually. I'm just not hungry all the time like I used to be. Thanks for the videos.
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 🙏❤️🇬🇧
I was pre then full on diabetes. With medication and keto I lost weight and brought my numbers down. All this despite metformin destroying my liver and stomach. Quit that med and was put on another two. So for a few years I’m in control of my A1c. Got Omicron just recently and my numbers where 12.8 steadily. I’ve tried getting it down and now at 7.8 so I know I can do it.
My diabetes is reversing and I am happy 😊. My A1c has gone from 11 down to 5.4. My doctor has taken me off of 8 units of insulin. I try to follow mostly keto. I am not perfect with it but I know it has to be the keto that is helping with this reversal of my diabetes.
Something I learned recently is that although I had lowered my glucose to the normal range with Keto, going off as little as two or three meals a week for a few months, while traveling, gave me an 5.8 A1C--higher than it had ever been before. I also gained 16 pounds, half of it water. If you are like me, you should probably plan on keto or very low carb for life. I am going to make clear to friends and family that I have to eat as though I am a type-two diabetic--OR BE ONE. I needed the shock of knowing I can't take a break from keto, even for a few days, and not suffer consequences--just like a diabetic would. Also I I have almost of all of the signs Dr. Berry discussed,, despite having had a perfectly normal AIC just a few months before my keto vacation, as I have had for over 4 years, on keto. This video is a wake-up call.
After watching your videos and others, I decided to begin the carnivore diet. Yesterday my morning FBS was 183, and also my first day of eating carnivore. This morning it was 134! And 2 hours after breakfast, it was 138! For the first time since being diagnosed Type 2 over 18 years ago, I have hope of finally getting control. Thank you for your videos!
Well done on going carnivore. I also today start carnivore again. I first did it in 2005 for job medical looming. I lost 42 pounds of weight in first month alone just on carnivore and 40 mins walking daily. Blood pressure etc all reverted to normal. It's game changer,,best if luck and hang in with it .
I ordered the A1c home meter and it arrived today Very easy to use. My result was 5.4. I have never had it tested before. I started keto at end of November but switched to carnivore as I was having problems with veggies. My gut problems have vastly improved
I was definitely headed towards pre diabetes. A1c of 5.6, 60lb overweight, zero energy and developing skin tags on my neck and chest. 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. Thanks to channels like yours and others I feel great.
This info gives me so much hope! I love that you educate us to know signs and truths without all the propaganda…thank you! I am transitioning our family to a Whole Foods keto/carnivore lifestyle and I am confident that we will all be thriving because of this.
My local hospital will do a quarterly A1C for $35. I'm due to get another one next month. My November check was 6.1. 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. I still see the VA 1x a year to stay on the rolls though and get my meds written.
I literally just picked up my OneTouch yesterday because I’m diabetic now. I have depression anyway but it’s worse lately, acne out of control at 44 years old…Add in Hashimoto’s, narcolepsy and stress of dad in hospital with the Rona and on continuous oxygen currently. It’s been a great week.
Great video! I'm one of the 2 in 10 who does know he is pre-Diabetic. My fasting glucose for the last 16 or 17 years has been right at 101. But recently, it climbed to 107 even though I have been on keto and IF for almost a year. That coupled with a huge increase in my cholesterol, my doctor wanted me to get off keto because it was damaging my body. So he requested to get off of it back in July and 6 months later would re-test me and if my numbers are still the same, he'd start me on a statin for the cholesterol and something else for the PD. But I haven't done that and stayed on keto. No issues and I'm maintaining my weight loss and I feel great. But I do have the reckoning with my doctor since I can't get my atenolol refilled until I go see him. A catch 22. Thanks for the tip Dr Berry. I ordered my A1C home kit just now.
And I just checked my A1C - 5.5. Not as low as I expected. Considering my fasting glucose hasn't budged either, I'm assuming my A1C pre-Keto wasn't off by much. Weird how I can go from all of that sugar and carbs to next to no sugar and carbs and barely have any affect on glucose readings. I like that I lost 30 lbs and maintained that loss over the past year, but kind of disappointed in these other numbers. I didn't have much weight to lose, but I was steadily gaining 10 lbs every year and had I stayed with the way I was eating, I'd be 210 lbs instead of 165 now. Who knows, I might have been full on Type 2 by now. But I do need to figure out this HBP and maybe get my A1C down to 5.0. I did get an advanced lipid profile last week along with the doctor's A1C (so it'll be cool to compare the kit to the lab). I should see exactly what in the LDL went up.
I have last year's blood work in front of me. Can't find anything that even says A1C on any of the pages. My doctor has been more worried about cholesterol than my prediabetic issues, I guess. I will be insisting on an A1C for this year's blood work. I have been on a station drug, but since being on Keto as of August 2021, I have lost 30 pounds and took myself off the statin January 1. The med was making my mind foggy and I was noticing muscle weakness. I have lost an additional pounds in this new year, and am avidly pursuing the loss of another 25. I am going to be educating my doctor a bit, next time I see her, thanks to your amazing videos, Dr. Berry!
Question, too: can numbness in the toes be reversed? I spend most of my workday on my feet and have mentioned numbness and burning to my doc, but she never was overly concerned.
I have always been slender but I had absolutely every single symptom on your list. A few years ago, I changed my diet and my PCOS and thyroid issues went away but not the other issues. I still had skin tags, fatigue, cravings after meals, heavy thirst etc. I thought I had a healthy diet but still ate a lot of "healthy" carbs. We changed our alimentation with my husband last year to a ketogenic diet and now all of them are gone. My husband is feeling much better as well. Now, the next target is fixing his sleep. ^^
@@Sunnydreamer1470 It is me in the picture. ^^ I live in one of the most populated cities in the world (Seoul, South Korea) and that is why I wear one. It is also mandatory here. I really don't mind it. Surgeons can do it all day everyday for their work. Have a nice day. :)
I just got tested I knew it was 6.4 I'm so mad I did keto for 2 years and then off the deep end and now this is where I'm at now. back on ketovore I go
Sugar is the enemy, it’s a disease. Stay away from it. My doctor told me in August emphatically cut the refined carbs; my A1C was 5.7 and I was in the prediabetes range. Thank God I progressed and changed my diet and do cardio .My A1C is down to 5.5.
Im 33, i went for my doctor appointment today to find out about my blood tests results and i was told i have pre-diabetes and i dont have any symptoms but the picture of the underarm you showed in the video i had that on my underarms over a week ago for thr first time and i was wondering what it was. I actually thought was caused by the deodorant i was using but it was pre-diabetes symptom. I thank God for my husband who dragged me to the doctor for blood tests.
Women especially in menopause have a higher chance of becoming pre-diabetic with the hormone changes. Insulin resistance leads to so many diseases. Thank you Dr. Berry for a really important message to get out there to so many people. I’m sure you’ve saved some lives.
Thank you for this video. This really hits home for me and answers a lot of questions I had. My dad was diabetic. Although he wasn't diagnosed until his 30's. I knew it could be a genetic thing. I found myself having a lot of his symptoms and I'm now in my 30's. I went to the doctor and told them and they checked my blood sugar and said, your fine. Normal. But I still have the symptoms. They never said ANYTHING about pre diabetes. So now I guess I need to change some things in my life and adapt my diet like I do have it so I don't get it. Thanks doctor berry. They had me thinking I was crazy or something. Lol
Wish I'd known this years ago when I had prediabetes. My blood sugar was normal then so my doc never checked any further. I had quite a few of the symptoms you mentioned. I was finally diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2019.
My doctor is useless. I wish I knew about this back in 2017. I asked my doctor to check my A1C and he REFUSED ! You and Dr. Berg have done more for me here on the You Tubes, than my PCP has done for me, ever. I was finally diagnosed with full T2D April 2021 when I walked into the E.R. with a blood sugar of 576... I had almost none of these symptoms except tiredness, irritability, and constant hunger, but that had been going on since the "Change" that happened when I was a teenager. Adolescence ? Mother called it "Growing Pains"
My sister started getting severe symptoms at 41, so diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Treatment wasn't working so she ended up in a Boston hospital and she was diagnosed with late onset Type 1 diabetes, which I never knew positive. My best friend had died from cardiac issues related to her lifelong diabetes at 43. Now my sister has an insulin pump, and my family is worried I'm at risk because I've had issues life exhaustion, hair loss, huge weight loss, etc, but my doctor feels due to extreme stress. My husband, my best friend and my mother all died in 18 months, I found my husband and have 5 children grieving. Stress makes sense. My only bad eating habits are not eating enough. I only eat carbs from vegetables and don't eat sugar at all normally.
Another great video Dr Berry. Your Texan neighbour Dr Nadir Ali the lipid nerd (self confessed) suggests that intermittent fasting and a low carb, low fat diet might be more suitable until your Triglycerides are below 100 and HDL is above 50. This in people with insulin resistance.
Hello Dr. I love what you said about coffee. I have diabetes and I take pills for it. I eat avocado and an egg in the morning and I drink Arabic coffee, which I love. The cups are not big. I love the way you make me understand about my situation. Thank you so much
A few years ago a bowl of tomato soup used to make me feel sleepy and I didn't think much of it. That's long gone now, I have been intermittent fasting for 6 years and OMAD for 2 years.
Question. I've been hearing a lot about malidextrone ( I think that's what it's called ) being added to stevia. I hear that it can increase insulin in the blood. I'm currently on an intermediary keto diet. Working my way in slowly. I've already lost 15 pounds just cutting out the sugar. If this is the case. What sweetener should I switch to?
That does not sound right to me. If someone were to go to doctor and ask to have that test and the doctor said no. And then you go to all the trouble to order your test kit. And you go back to that doctor to show him the results and he still says not to worry about it for six months to a year. Why would you ever go back ?
I have been pre-diabetes known for over 10yrs and just crossed the line 3 months ago. So I started keto carnivore but I am also hemochromatosis so added some difficulties to over come. And have fatty liver. But my doctor been on me for all of that 10yrs. Just took my blood tests today after 3 months of 20 grams or less of carbs per day. I also have had covid at least 2x but testing for a 3rd time in a couple of minutes. I am a covid long hauler. I will update in a couple of days
When I was around 25 y/o, I visited a women's specialist clinic for a consultation about my irregular periods. The doctor mentioned just by looking at my appearance, he highly suspected I had PCOS. Based on my weight, he said I'll get diabetes when I hit 50. That didn't scare me enough to lose weight until 3 years ago. Now my PCOS is under control, my diet is mostly high protein, low GMI carbs and low fat with the occasional treat.
I’m pretty pre-pre-diabetes. Right there on the cusp. Stepping up my game before doc tries recommending metformin. She loves prescribing all “the popular medicines.”
The doctor is absolutely correct I just found out this past April my A1C is 5.7 and I have adjusted my diet by cutting back on carb intake and doing some walking exercise everyday like a half a mile walk to a 1 mile walk. I am going back to the doctor in September to have blood work done again to see if my A1C has dropped. I have also lost 12 pounds so we will see.
I have been insulin resistant for a couple decades. Started Carnivore Jan 2, 2022. Am experiencing blood sugar of 180-215 when I haven’t eaten for 14 hours, and then when I eat really fatty bacon or pork rinds my sugar drops down to a normal number like 120. Is this normal? Does it mean I am still healing? Why is my level so high when I am eating zero carbs? I searched your videos to see if you had talked about this. I stopped taking my Metformin and Glimiperide before the pandemic when I originally lost all my weight with fasting. When I gained it back during then pandemic, I did not start taking them again because I do not want to take them anymore. Metformin was found to cause cancer. So my other question is, how bad is it that my sugar is spiking this high when I’m not eating? How much damage is that doing? I absolutely love your videos and share them with everyone! Thank you for changing my life!
Pre-diabetes doesn’t apply to me! I was diagnosed a type 1 diabetic in 1970. I’ve been on almost a carnivore diet for over a year and it’s helped. I spent years as basically a type 2 diabetic who injected insulin, due to eating too much carbohydrate…
Good info Doc. I get my A1C checked every 6 months however a year ago it was 6 and six months ago it was 5.9 and pre-diabetes or diabetes was never brought up. The good news is I started Keto about 3 months ago and it has dropped to 5.6. Hopefully it will keep going down.
Been pre diabetic for 2 years and the VA just tells me it's a matter of time. I have many of these symptoms. Started modified carnivore with onions, Jalapeños, avacados, mushrooms and cucumbers as the only fruits and veggies. After 1 week, I have lost 3 lbs with little exercise and my energy level is the same all day long. I'm going to give it a month and see how it goes but it has me feeling great so far!
Sounds great but watch out on the onions because they are high in sugar. I eat them also but I do not eat many of them I did not know they are high in sugar and different types have slight different amounts of sugar . I got carb manager app and I learned a little bit more how to manage my diet better. However,everything else sounds great though that you mentioned so good luck on your journey👍
If you want to see amazing results try a 60 day carnivore challenge and eat beef, bacon, butter and eggs. You will be surprised. Watch all his videos on keto and carnivore. He has fantastic information. I am a former bread addict who was plant based for 35 years, could not get my weight down to pre pregnancy weight. 6 months as a ketovore and I weigh what I did 50 years ago in high school. Sauerkraut, dill pickles and olives are my veggie’s.
Ok Dr. Berry…I believe you now🙄 Your skin tag video brought me here. I have skin tags ALL over my body and I’ve had numbness in my fingers for a year. Looking at me you’d think I’m in perfect health…nope. Keto, here I come 🏃♀️ Thank you 😊
Explained very good. You r a real sincerest humanely doctor. I cured many of my health problems listening to your advices. You r my favourite. Thank you for your lectures which help us lead a healthy life. God bless you for your real sincere service to humanity.
Dr. Berry's genius idea of donating blood 2 weeks before lab work, including Hb A1C was SPOT ON! My score was 5.2. It was 5.5 six months earlier. Great way to clean out your blood. Kinda like your own personal dialysis.
Thank you so much drBerry. I love your content. It's so clear and positive. As a dietician I'm taught differently but I know my stuff. I wanted to share an example just so weird in the logical department. I got sent to CardioVascularRiskManagement because a history with cancer. It took effort to at least get my A1C because "that wasn't necessary as glucose says it all", and insulin got the same response. Unfortunately she couldn't check the insulin box. This is The Netherlands BTW. So I eat a lot of meat and yes, also some crap, but overall largely animal based. My blood word was GREAT. TG:HDL of 1.0. Not that she looked at that. So good news. Happy. Then I told her my waist circumference. Then she said "we don't ask that anymore, because if we did that, then everyone would have a problem". So I started laughing. Well, isn't your conclusion then that everyone must lose weight!!! I told her that waist is the easiest method to measure IR, and therefore CVD-risk. So if I were to advise her, I would advise her to measure waist, look only at HDL and TG, advise her patients to lose weight, stop eating sugar, start weight training. She DID say that she would look into my suggestions though! Secretly hoping she calls me back... So yeah, just wanted to share my experience in the NL. And add that since I'm doing IF, my waist had finally dropped from 30,75 to 28,25 inch (I measure cm so don't get the whole inch thing ).
If it causes "permanent" damage then how are you reversing damage that is permanent? I dont follow a keto diet, did it a couple of times but I like my carbs too much. I have cut out most sugars from my diet though in the last few months. Dropped over 30 lbs only eliminating most of the sugar.
i wish I had realized this 12 years ago. My doctor didn't even tell me. i didn't check my yearly results either. But I had all those symptoms progressively getting worse. Now I have neuropathy. ughhh.

Dr. Berry!!! By learning from your videos and following your recommendations, I got my a1c down from 6.9 to 5.6 in about 5 months. I have lost 60 pounds so far, about half way. I really feel that you have saved my life, and taught me how to live. Thank you with all my heart. I am so grateful for you.
Well done Shari! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Dr.Ken Berry for this information.

I ignored my pre-diabetes for years (and I'm probably type 2 without a formal diagnosis) but since discovering your videos I've transitioned to keto and I'm feeling so much better! Hoping to reverse all the damage I did to my body, thanks so much Dr Berry!
Same here. I've been doing Keto for almost 2 years now, lost 85 pounds, reversed diabetes, reduced the inflammation in my body and I actually feel much better than I have in thirty years. Thanks to Dr. Berry and his informative videos! ❤
Well done Melanie! Now it's time to teach your friends and family!
Like Dr Berry said, you need to adhere to a strict, extremely low carbage diet! I’m reversing my T2D with Dr. Ken’s advice. I’m currently just sitting around the 6.0 range from a 11.7 A1C w/ full on T2D after having a come to Jesus meeting (MI + 3 Stints). I’m just saying is that it is reversible, but it will be a few months, years or the rest of your life but it beats the alternative realities!
What did you change or eat for keto to reverse your diabetes! I am not diabetic at least my doctor did not say anything , but my numbers for the last couple times was 5.8 and 5.6! Because of my slow thyroid!
@@NansGlobalKitchen Anything within the 5.6 - 6.4 A1C is Pre-Diabetic. 6.5 and above ☝️ and then you are full blown T2D, and a free pass GO directly to Metabolic Jail W/O collecting $200 but suffering from the complications of T2D. Be very careful and stay below ⬇️ the PD threshold and further down the road to metabolic hell!
Dr. Berry has YT Videos on the interwebs discussing the Thyroid and remedies for a malfunctioning Thyroid found in foods
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.
Wow! Well done Kirk!👍🏼👍🏼
well done ,,,smart man ,,and disciplined also ,,my kind of people !!
Impressive!!
Yes, that willpower excuse is familiar. I heard it from my friends as well. Good on you for changing to a healthy lifestyle!
I "don't have the will power" either right now, but by god I'm going to get it come hell or high water. I practice the Emotional Freedom Technique also called the tapping process and have written my own statements for each of the 8 meridian points specifically relating to my addiction to sugar and carbs. It is helping me gain that will power little by little.
My family Doc started me on keto 3 years ago to reverse pre diabetes. Mission accomplished, mission ongoing. Thanks for keeping me educated. 💪
You're lucky to have a doc that will get you on keto.
A doctor started you on keto? Can’t say I’ve heard that before 😶
@@loganwolv3393 You don't need a doctor to tell you what foods to eat.
@@montystil Doctors invented the keto diet to treat epilepsy, sooo?
Dr. Berry after years of being pre diabetic and having all those awful symptoms you mention, I finally did something about it 6 months ago I started eating a proper human diet, watched many of your videos, and stuck with it. I have lost 76 lbs, took up walking daily, tried to reduce stress and feel great! Finding a good MD around here is impossible, but you my friend have been a wealth of knowledge to have-thank you!
76 pounds in six months? That's fantastic. Congratulations.
@@slaughterhouse5585 Thanks. Yes and it really was not a lot of work! Just eliminated all sugars, grains, well you know the drill if you know the PHD. Now my weight loss stalled , but will give it time. I am doing OMAD. Will see what my blood panel will be in a couple weeks.
@@daved5244 if you have stalled ,just do two two meals a day for a couple of days .Then back to Omad.

Great info. I think what's really sad is that people don't realize that damage is being done to the nerves and blood vessels in pre-diabetics!! Thanks for always sharing such great advice!!
I was diagnosed with prediabetes, went straight on Keto the next day ( because my sister is type 2 and she sent me your videos, lol). I've lost 78 pounds and my A1c is back to normal....Thanks😊
Congratulations !
That is so cool and that inspires me to make a change
Wow, great work!
I just found out I am pre-diabetic and I'm so confused on what to eat ! It's stressing me out. I've been googling what I should eat and not eat and I keep seeing the same foods pop up on both what and NOT to eat😭 so anything keto is what I should be looking for?
@@josephineramos3199 ...Look up Kristi Davis on RUclips, her channel helped me a lot..Meats, green veggies, cheese, butter, most nuts, salads, but no root vegetables like potatoes, carrots and such, no pasta or rice. No bread unless its very low carb and sugar free. Same with sweets...I hope this helps at least gets you started.😉
In August 2021 my A1c was 6.7. Now six months later I’ve dropped it to 5.5. Healthy eating and a promise to myself to get my blood sugar under control as well as dropping 55 pounds reversed my Type 2 diabetes.
Thank you for sharing!!!
Would you please share your diet plan especially what carbs you been taking in your diet.
Thank you
@@keepwatching.3962 if yourve not done it why not put the effort in and just study Dr Berry's keto/diet and nutrition and educate yourself as the more you understand the reasoning the more you'll adapt and accomplish for yourself.
@@sheronlyn2693 yes you're absolutely right.
i should do that.
Thank you for your time and help.
What about your gut
In July 2021, my A1C was 5.7. My doctor called me with results and told me that I needed to change my diet. Said to reduce my soda intake (which I had already done) and also fried fast food intake. I changed my eating habits by eating more vegetables and protein. I also don’t eat out as much. I drink more water. I have lost 37 lbs since August. Tested my A1C again in November and it was down to 5.5. I have also been monitoring my carbs.
Started keto/IF/OMAD in May, transitioned to Carnivore/IF/OMAD in Sept. Have lost 50 lbs, (now 140 lbs), BP now 111/65(down from 148/85), blood sugar morning 91(down from morning 138), no gout, no arthritic inflammation, no IBS, no reflux, no insomnia(sleep 8 hours nightly),no meds at all!😁🙌🙌 Feel soooo great!! I’m 70 and haven’t even shrunk, still 5’7”tall😂😂😄❤️ I love eating this way🥰 Thanks, Dr. Berry🥰
I’m sure 80% or more of the population has at least one of these symptoms, sadly. I’m so happy I found your channel doc!
I’m pregnant and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes even though my A1c was normal at the beginning. But since I was diagnosed I’ve been doing a pretty low carb way of eating and strictly drinking water and working out 7.5 miles a day and I’ve felt better than ever before. I only have a little over a week till baby is here but I will continue this lifestyle because it has helped me so much! Thank you for all your videos and how informative they are!
Keep on top of your gestational diabetes; I went into remission after my son's birth but developed full-blown T2D years later and didn't know it until it was SEVERE. Best regards and congratulations.
You walk seven and a half miles and your pregnant? Man I need to get off of my couch
Even when my doctor diagnosed pre-diabetes, I was not told to watch my diet, or even sugars! Just take this metformin and it's no problem! Many years ago when my mom was diagnosed, they gave her a printed diet plan to follow that limited sugar and carbs! Thanks for shedding light on this problem!! God bless you! 🤗🙏🙏
OB nurse here. Gestational diabetes doesn’t normally get diagnosed until later in the 2nd trimester.
With my last two pregnancies I had gestational diabetes my youngest is 7 months and I felt better when I was on diabetic diet and I was loosing weight I need to get back to it wish healthier groceries were cheaper
I've started intermittent fasting, cut carbs, and started walking to work 4 days a week (2.5 miles) and doing online step classes everyday from home. I've lost ~7 pounds in the last month, feel better, and the habits I'm creating I can sustain. I have finally taken control of my health!
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.
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.
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.
I've shared your videos with hundreds of people.
fat meats arent the problem
sugars and carbs and processed stuff is with all the hidden nasties
Sadly, healthcare is not healthcare anymore. Liars and cheaters they are, that is crazy but my experience as well recently.
Possibly ignorance too.
You can order an a1c test from privatemdlabs for $70-80 without insurance and without going through your doctor
I’m 45 and just found out I’m pre-diabetic. Today was actually my first day doing keto and IF. I’m too young to feel like this. Thank you for your information. It’s gold.
@Dan W. hi
Hope it's going well for you. I've had several restarts myself but overall making forward progress.
Someone who had pre diabetes like myself knows the importance of this video. People that are prediabetic when depressed will only eat a high carb snack just to fall into a deeper depression. But once they can learn what to eat it will make such a difference in their life. Thank you Dr. Ken for all you do
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.
You never heard of HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE and good diet have you? Get off your ass and get to it, nothing replaces high intensity exercise, not even the strictest of diets. Its not rocket science people.
Thanks for the advice. I haven't heard of high intensity training. I do see there are videos and it's not what I would assume from the name. I've been doing a lot of walking mixed with jogging which has definitely helped my overall health too.
I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and PCOS in my mid 30's. I'm 47 now with no signs of type 2 diabetes. I changed my diet the same day of my diagnoses and continue to modify it more as time goes on.
When I found out I was prediabetic I almost had a panic attack. I knew how serious it was. Like a miracle happened I found Dr. Barry's videos. Then Dr. Cywes. I'll never stop being grateful. Dr. Barry's message is so simple it's almost ridiculous. No expensive crap like shakes, etc. Just clean food with low or 0 carbs and. No sugar.
i am prediabetic and i am still confused what actually low carb mean.which low carb i should consume. I eat no sugar at all i consume less fruits ,lost 18 Ibs.
But by not having carb at all i feel so weak.
So would you please suggest what should i eat for carb.
Thank you so much.
Your response will be appreciated.

Your videos are helping immensely. I had an HbA1c of 5.8 in Jan 2023 - doctor said no issues (i'm in the UK). I've just had it retested as feeling tired all the time, sweating more, much more belly fat (addicted to sugar) and it's now 6.1. Practice nurse wants to speak to me on Monday about it, but i'm watching all these videos and I know what to do. In reality I should have been addressing this last January, but I am where I am so i'm starting now. It's going to be hard giving up sugar but I know it's the right thing to do. Thanks for all the work you do getting this information out there.
A friend introduce me to your channel on February 1st. My average glucose level was 200 before I started. I followed what you recommended to lower my HGB A1C level. My last HGB A1C in December was 7.4. My average glucose level is now 100. I lost 7 lbs. I stopped taking 40 units a day of levermir on February 7th. I still take oral hyperglycemics. I will have a lab draw in March. Thank You! I feel so much better. Your videos saved my life. Hugs🥰

I work in the medical field and find your video very useful. Thank you.
over the last 2 yrs ive been suffering from pins and needles in my hands and forearms usually in the mornings after waking up. No i was not sleeping on my arms. Sometimes in my feets and knees. I no longer suffer from this mysterious pain after being on a carnivore diet.
Dr. Bari, after following your keto diet for two weeks I’ve lost almost 15 pounds and have regained my energy. I don’t longer crave sweets and look forward to eating a diet rich and fats and proteins along with copious amounts of keto friendly vegetables. You’re definitely delivering on your Socrates oath. I commend you as a gentleman, a scholar and a trusted physician.
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.
I had many of the 13 symptoms. However, cravings & hunger 2hrs after eating has been the struggle of my adult life! 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! Thank you Dr. Berry for your informative videos. You keep me digging for root cause and I'm getting healthier!
Now get off Metformin and you will be good to go!
Take Berberine instead of Metformin, it's been shown working.
I had pre diabetes as a child growing up Currently 23 and 3 years into keto, prediabetes reversed.
I am lucky, my doctor is a regular Internal Med. MD and a nutritionist. So she came to ME about reversing my A1c number (which started at 6.3). She is the one who told me about the Keto plan and to rid sugar from my diet. I will check in again in a couple months with my lower A1c number (I have already claimed victory)! 😃
Great video! Informative and empowering, Dr. Ken Berry lays out crucial signs of pre-diabetes while emphasizing its reversibility through simple lifestyle changes. A must-watch for anyone looking to take charge of their health!
Thanks to you and the Ketogenic lifestyle my mom reversed her diabetes within 6 months.
Wonderful!!
The best advice you can get from any Doctor and it’s free, thank you very much Dr Berry.
In ‘17 I had a surgery that required massive doses of steroids to control swelling and reduce the possibility of further damage. My a1c even on steroids was 4.9. I haven’t had another test done but it’s probably time. My last triglyceride was elevated and my doctor told me cut out the carbs which I’ve been doing then I found Dr. Berry and it got even easier. Thanks for the support.
Hey Guys! This Logan Delgado co-owner of BioCoach, sorry for glitch "saying sold out" we are not sold out and you are able order today :) Thank you for the support and thank you Ken Berry for always teaching and inspiring millions!
I worked in the VA hospital and that’s were I get my “healthcare”. Anyhow my Dr. said I had Pre-diabetes and from taking patients to appointments for kidney care,wound care, Various amputations and heart ♥️ work ect. Anyhow I was fat and tired and depressed and giving up. After my diagnosis it flipped a switch for me. Went home cleaned out all that bad food from my Kitchen. I knew something about sugar control from a short run with the vary popular Atkins plan, about 25 years ago. I’m much better now, no obese is great.
Another symptom for me was ED. That problem disappeared within 3-6 months on Keto.
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.
My last labs said my A1C was 6.0 😭 ...not happy, but glad to know it's fixable. 🙏
Courtney, my A1C used to be 6.0 and the last time I checked it was down to 5.5 and I expect it to go lower. Highly recommend following Dr. B’s “101” videos.
@@brose7594 thank you! I am watching them as we speak! 🙏
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 ...
@@kirkellis4329 If you eat nuts I would stick to macadamia nuts or pecans, they are very low in carbs
I’m in Chattanooga. Went keto last year and carnivore this year. I’ll never stop eating this way. I’m sure I was or am prediabetic. No amount of working out or eating “healthy” would help me. I’m thankful for people like you and Mikhaila Petersen for helping me discover this WOE. Feeling sick for years is awful (over 10 yrs now since I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis). 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. I’ve had to grow an understanding of disease, diet, and nutrition to figure these things out on my own. Took me a long time but finally understanding how to heal myself. Good info Dr Berry.
How I REVERSED My Pre-Diabetes & You Can Too: ruclips.net/video/91ZddXkeGFw/видео.html
I started on a journey to reverse this about two years ago, and accelerated based on the info I found here and elsewhere. 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.
I was so glad to hear about the test to do at home. I did it and checked mine and it was 4.8. Thank you so much Dr. Berry.
I started a carnivore diet after thanksgiving because of your channel. Love all the info. I do use a few more seasonings than is normally allowed, but they aren't really affecting as far as I can tell and it makes it easier to stick to. I'm doing it primarily for weight loss because I am morbidly obese and have tried numerous ways to lose it and none of them worked for me. I love meat and not many veggies. I've lost around 35lbs so far and I feel great. I also only eat one meal a day, usually. I'm just not hungry all the time like I used to be. Thanks for the videos.
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 🙏❤️🇬🇧
@@mightyatom1404 Nope. I'm real. Thanks.
Thank you, Dr Berry, for keeping us informed about our health 🙂
I was pre then full on diabetes. With medication and keto I lost weight and brought my numbers down. All this despite metformin destroying my liver and stomach. Quit that med and was put on another two.
So for a few years I’m in control of my A1c. Got Omicron just recently and my numbers where 12.8 steadily. I’ve tried getting it down and now at 7.8 so I know I can do it.
My diabetes is reversing and I am happy 😊. My A1c has gone from 11 down to 5.4. My doctor has taken me off of 8 units of insulin. I try to follow mostly keto. I am not perfect with it but I know it has to be the keto that is helping with this reversal of my diabetes.
Something I learned recently is that although I had lowered my glucose to the normal range with Keto, going off as little as two or three meals a week for a few months, while traveling, gave me an 5.8 A1C--higher than it had ever been before. I also gained 16 pounds, half of it water. If you are like me, you should probably plan on keto or very low carb for life. I am going to make clear to friends and family that I have to eat as though I am a type-two diabetic--OR BE ONE. I needed the shock of knowing I can't take a break from keto, even for a few days, and not suffer consequences--just like a diabetic would. Also I I have almost of all of the signs Dr. Berry discussed,, despite having had a perfectly normal AIC just a few months before my keto vacation, as I have had for over 4 years, on keto. This video is a wake-up call.
so prediabetics has the same symptoms as t2 diabetics
After watching your videos and others, I decided to begin the carnivore diet. Yesterday my morning FBS was 183, and also my first day of eating carnivore. This morning it was 134! And 2 hours after breakfast, it was 138! For the first time since being diagnosed Type 2 over 18 years ago, I have hope of finally getting control. Thank you for your videos!
Well done on going carnivore. I also today start carnivore again. I first did it in 2005 for job medical looming. I lost 42 pounds of weight in first month alone just on carnivore and 40 mins walking daily. Blood pressure etc all reverted to normal. It's game changer,,best if luck and hang in with it .
So happy my A1c is 5.2. I’m sure it will continue to improve with this proper human diet
I ordered the A1c home meter and it arrived today Very easy to use. My result was 5.4. I have never had it tested before. I started keto at end of November but switched to carnivore as I was having problems with veggies. My gut problems have vastly improved
I was definitely headed towards pre diabetes. A1c of 5.6, 60lb overweight, zero energy and developing skin tags on my neck and chest. 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. Thanks to channels like yours and others I feel great.
Great video! I tell my patients, a diagnosis of diabetes should never be a shock.
This info gives me so much hope! I love that you educate us to know signs and truths without all the propaganda…thank you! I am transitioning our family to a Whole Foods keto/carnivore lifestyle and I am confident that we will all be thriving because of this.
My local hospital will do a quarterly A1C for $35. I'm due to get another one next month. My November check was 6.1. 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. I still see the VA 1x a year to stay on the rolls though and get my meds written.
I literally just picked up my OneTouch yesterday because I’m diabetic now. I have depression anyway but it’s worse lately, acne out of control at 44 years old…Add in Hashimoto’s, narcolepsy and stress of dad in hospital with the Rona and on continuous oxygen currently. It’s been a great week.
Great video! I'm one of the 2 in 10 who does know he is pre-Diabetic. My fasting glucose for the last 16 or 17 years has been right at 101. But recently, it climbed to 107 even though I have been on keto and IF for almost a year. That coupled with a huge increase in my cholesterol, my doctor wanted me to get off keto because it was damaging my body. So he requested to get off of it back in July and 6 months later would re-test me and if my numbers are still the same, he'd start me on a statin for the cholesterol and something else for the PD. But I haven't done that and stayed on keto. No issues and I'm maintaining my weight loss and I feel great. But I do have the reckoning with my doctor since I can't get my atenolol refilled until I go see him. A catch 22.
Thanks for the tip Dr Berry. I ordered my A1C home kit just now.
And I just checked my A1C - 5.5. Not as low as I expected. Considering my fasting glucose hasn't budged either, I'm assuming my A1C pre-Keto wasn't off by much. Weird how I can go from all of that sugar and carbs to next to no sugar and carbs and barely have any affect on glucose readings. I like that I lost 30 lbs and maintained that loss over the past year, but kind of disappointed in these other numbers. I didn't have much weight to lose, but I was steadily gaining 10 lbs every year and had I stayed with the way I was eating, I'd be 210 lbs instead of 165 now. Who knows, I might have been full on Type 2 by now. But I do need to figure out this HBP and maybe get my A1C down to 5.0. I did get an advanced lipid profile last week along with the doctor's A1C (so it'll be cool to compare the kit to the lab). I should see exactly what in the LDL went up.
Another excellent video. Definitely cut way back on alcohol consumption if pre-diabetic.
I have last year's blood work in front of me. Can't find anything that even says A1C on any of the pages. My doctor has been more worried about cholesterol than my prediabetic issues, I guess. I will be insisting on an A1C for this year's blood work. I have been on a station drug, but since being on Keto as of August 2021, I have lost 30 pounds and took myself off the statin January 1. The med was making my mind foggy and I was noticing muscle weakness. I have lost an additional pounds in this new year, and am avidly pursuing the loss of another 25. I am going to be educating my doctor a bit, next time I see her, thanks to your amazing videos, Dr. Berry!
An additional 5 pounds since the new year. Mercy me, typos! ☺
Question, too: can numbness in the toes be reversed? I spend most of my workday on my feet and have mentioned numbness and burning to my doc, but she never was overly concerned.
Im an RN in a community hospital. You could call the city I work in as "anywhere USA" and sadly this is the vast part of the american population.
Great information 👍🏿I listened AND learned, A LOT from it!
Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
RUclips doctors are blessings in disguise!!
I have always been slender but I had absolutely every single symptom on your list. A few years ago, I changed my diet and my PCOS and thyroid issues went away but not the other issues. I still had skin tags, fatigue, cravings after meals, heavy thirst etc. I thought I had a healthy diet but still ate a lot of "healthy" carbs. We changed our alimentation with my husband last year to a ketogenic diet and now all of them are gone. My husband is feeling much better as well. Now, the next target is fixing his sleep. ^^
That’s good but I hope you took off that mask! Is that you in the pic? 😣 I’m a grandmother and I refuse to wear one.
@@Sunnydreamer1470 It is me in the picture. ^^ I live in one of the most populated cities in the world (Seoul, South Korea) and that is why I wear one. It is also mandatory here. I really don't mind it. Surgeons can do it all day everyday for their work.
Have a nice day. :)
I just got tested I knew it was 6.4 I'm so mad I did keto for 2 years and then off the deep end and now this is where I'm at now. back on ketovore I go
Sugar is the enemy, it’s a disease. Stay away from it. My doctor told me in August emphatically cut the refined carbs; my A1C was 5.7 and I was in the prediabetes range. Thank God I progressed and changed my diet and do cardio .My A1C is down to 5.5.
Im 33, i went for my doctor appointment today to find out about my blood tests results and i was told i have pre-diabetes and i dont have any symptoms but the picture of the underarm you showed in the video i had that on my underarms over a week ago for thr first time and i was wondering what it was. I actually thought was caused by the deodorant i was using but it was pre-diabetes symptom. I thank God for my husband who dragged me to the doctor for blood tests.
Am so happy to found your channel 😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻 amazing yes PCOS 💔 and am trying to reverse things up
Women especially in menopause have a higher chance of becoming pre-diabetic with the hormone changes. Insulin resistance leads to so many diseases. Thank you Dr. Berry for a really important message to get out there to so many people. I’m sure you’ve saved some lives.
I saw you in your lovely wife in Atlanta yesterday. Great presentations. Thanks for being part of the ADAPT community.
Thank you for this video. This really hits home for me and answers a lot of questions I had. My dad was diabetic. Although he wasn't diagnosed until his 30's. I knew it could be a genetic thing. I found myself having a lot of his symptoms and I'm now in my 30's. I went to the doctor and told them and they checked my blood sugar and said, your fine. Normal. But I still have the symptoms. They never said ANYTHING about pre diabetes. So now I guess I need to change some things in my life and adapt my diet like I do have it so I don't get it. Thanks doctor berry. They had me thinking I was crazy or something. Lol
My dad died last year of diabetes he was 50 slipped into a coma and never woke up
Wish I'd known this years ago when I had prediabetes. My blood sugar was normal then so my doc never checked any further. I had quite a few of the symptoms you mentioned. I was finally diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2019.
Yeah, most doctors wait until you get it and then they say "Why didn't you come earlier?"
My doctor is useless. I wish I knew about this back in 2017. I asked my doctor to check my A1C and he REFUSED ! You and Dr. Berg have done more for me here on the You Tubes, than my PCP has done for me, ever. I was finally diagnosed with full T2D April 2021 when I walked into the E.R. with a blood sugar of 576... I had almost none of these symptoms except tiredness, irritability, and constant hunger, but that had been going on since the "Change" that happened when I was a teenager. Adolescence ? Mother called it "Growing Pains"
My sister started getting severe symptoms at 41, so diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Treatment wasn't working so she ended up in a Boston hospital and she was diagnosed with late onset Type 1 diabetes, which I never knew positive. My best friend had died from cardiac issues related to her lifelong diabetes at 43. Now my sister has an insulin pump, and my family is worried I'm at risk because I've had issues life exhaustion, hair loss, huge weight loss, etc, but my doctor feels due to extreme stress. My husband, my best friend and my mother all died in 18 months, I found my husband and have 5 children grieving. Stress makes sense. My only bad eating habits are not eating enough. I only eat carbs from vegetables and don't eat sugar at all normally.
Another great video Dr Berry. Your Texan neighbour Dr Nadir Ali the lipid nerd (self confessed) suggests that intermittent fasting and a low carb, low fat diet might be more suitable until your Triglycerides are below 100 and HDL is above 50. This in people with insulin resistance.
Hello Dr. I love what you said about coffee. I have diabetes and I take pills for it. I eat avocado and an egg in the morning and I drink Arabic coffee, which I love. The cups are not big. I love the way you make me understand about my situation. Thank you so much
My friend was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes...He changed his diet and completely reversed it in 3 months..So, it's treatable through a better diet.
A few years ago a bowl of tomato soup used to make me feel sleepy and I didn't think much of it. That's long gone now, I have been intermittent fasting for 6 years and OMAD for 2 years.
Question. I've been hearing a lot about malidextrone ( I think that's what it's called ) being added to stevia. I hear that it can increase insulin in the blood. I'm currently on an intermediary keto diet. Working my way in slowly. I've already lost 15 pounds just cutting out the sugar. If this is the case. What sweetener should I switch to?
That does not sound right to me. If someone were to go to doctor and ask to have that test and the doctor said no. And then you go to all the trouble to order your test kit. And you go back to that doctor to show him the results and he still says not to worry about it for six months to a year. Why would you ever go back ?
I have been pre-diabetes known for over 10yrs and just crossed the line 3 months ago. So I started keto carnivore but I am also hemochromatosis so added some difficulties to over come. And have fatty liver. But my doctor been on me for all of that 10yrs. Just took my blood tests today after 3 months of 20 grams or less of carbs per day. I also have had covid at least 2x but testing for a 3rd time in a couple of minutes. I am a covid long hauler. I will update in a couple of days
When I was around 25 y/o, I visited a women's specialist clinic for a consultation about my irregular periods. The doctor mentioned just by looking at my appearance, he highly suspected I had PCOS. Based on my weight, he said I'll get diabetes when I hit 50. That didn't scare me enough to lose weight until 3 years ago. Now my PCOS is under control, my diet is mostly high protein, low GMI carbs and low fat with the occasional treat.
I’m pretty pre-pre-diabetes. Right there on the cusp. Stepping up my game before doc tries recommending metformin. She loves prescribing all “the popular medicines.”
The doctor is absolutely correct I just found out this past April my A1C is 5.7 and I have adjusted my diet by cutting back on carb intake and doing some walking exercise everyday like a half a mile walk to a 1 mile walk. I am going back to the doctor in September to have blood work done again to see if my A1C has dropped. I have also lost 12 pounds so we will see.
I have been insulin resistant for a couple decades. Started Carnivore Jan 2, 2022. Am experiencing blood sugar of 180-215 when I haven’t eaten for 14 hours, and then when I eat really fatty bacon or pork rinds my sugar drops down to a normal number like 120. Is this normal? Does it mean I am still healing? Why is my level so high when I am eating zero carbs? I searched your videos to see if you had talked about this. I stopped taking my Metformin and Glimiperide before the pandemic when I originally lost all my weight with fasting. When I gained it back during then pandemic, I did not start taking them again because I do not want to take them anymore. Metformin was found to cause cancer.
So my other question is, how bad is it that my sugar is spiking this high when I’m not eating? How much damage is that doing?
I absolutely love your videos and share them with everyone! Thank you for changing my life!
Pre-diabetes doesn’t apply to me! I was diagnosed a type 1 diabetic in 1970.
I’ve been on almost a carnivore diet for over a year and it’s helped. I spent years as basically a type 2 diabetic who injected insulin, due to eating too much carbohydrate…
Thank you, Dr Berry, for all that you do. Since Covid, I've not been able to find these A1C tests in our stores. Ordered one for me and one for hubby.
Walmart pharmacy does a1c checks. It was $19 here when I had it done.
So simple yet so informative and honest.Your follower from India.bless u doc🙏💐🙏
Good info Doc. I get my A1C checked every 6 months however a year ago it was 6 and six months ago it was 5.9 and pre-diabetes or diabetes was never brought up. The good news is I started Keto about 3 months ago and it has dropped to 5.6. Hopefully it will keep going down.
Been pre diabetic for 2 years and the VA just tells me it's a matter of time. I have many of these symptoms. Started modified carnivore with onions, Jalapeños, avacados, mushrooms and cucumbers as the only fruits and veggies. After 1 week, I have lost 3 lbs with little exercise and my energy level is the same all day long. I'm going to give it a month and see how it goes but it has me feeling great so far!
Sounds great but watch out on the onions because they are high in sugar. I eat them also but I do not eat many of them I did not know they are high in sugar and different types have slight different amounts of sugar . I got carb manager app and I learned a little bit more how to manage my diet better. However,everything else sounds great though that you mentioned so good luck on your journey👍
If you want to see amazing results try a 60 day carnivore challenge and eat beef, bacon, butter and eggs. You will be surprised. Watch all his videos on keto and carnivore. He has fantastic information. I am a former bread addict who was plant based for 35 years, could not get my weight down to pre pregnancy weight. 6 months as a ketovore and I weigh what I did 50 years ago in high school. Sauerkraut, dill pickles and olives are my veggie’s.
Dr. Berry has put many of his fellow doctors out of work.
Ok Dr. Berry…I believe you now🙄
Your skin tag video brought me here. I have skin tags ALL over my body and I’ve had numbness in my fingers for a year. Looking at me you’d think I’m in perfect health…nope.
Keto, here I come 🏃♀️
Thank you 😊
Explained very good. You r a real sincerest humanely doctor. I cured many of my health problems listening to your advices. You r my favourite. Thank you for your lectures which help us lead a healthy life. God bless you for your real sincere service to humanity.
Dr. Berry's genius idea of donating blood 2 weeks before lab work, including Hb A1C was SPOT ON! My score was 5.2. It was 5.5 six months earlier. Great way to clean out your blood. Kinda like your own personal dialysis.
Thank you so much drBerry. I love your content. It's so clear and positive. As a dietician I'm taught differently but I know my stuff. I wanted to share an example just so weird in the logical department. I got sent to CardioVascularRiskManagement because a history with cancer. It took effort to at least get my A1C because "that wasn't necessary as glucose says it all", and insulin got the same response. Unfortunately she couldn't check the insulin box. This is The Netherlands BTW. So I eat a lot of meat and yes, also some crap, but overall largely animal based. My blood word was GREAT. TG:HDL of 1.0. Not that she looked at that. So good news. Happy. Then I told her my waist circumference. Then she said "we don't ask that anymore, because if we did that, then everyone would have a problem". So I started laughing. Well, isn't your conclusion then that everyone must lose weight!!! I told her that waist is the easiest method to measure IR, and therefore CVD-risk. So if I were to advise her, I would advise her to measure waist, look only at HDL and TG, advise her patients to lose weight, stop eating sugar, start weight training. She DID say that she would look into my suggestions though! Secretly hoping she calls me back... So yeah, just wanted to share my experience in the NL. And add that since I'm doing IF, my waist had finally dropped from 30,75 to 28,25 inch (I measure cm so don't get the whole inch thing ).
Thx for this interesting video Dr Berry. Will watch out for all symptoms. 👍😊🥰🙏
If it causes "permanent" damage then how are you reversing damage that is permanent? I dont follow a keto diet, did it a couple of times but I like my carbs too much. I have cut out most sugars from my diet though in the last few months. Dropped over 30 lbs only eliminating most of the sugar.
So you can reverse T2D but it sounds like you can't reverse damage to your nerves. Or is it possible to reverse those too . Thanks Dr. Berry
i wish I had realized this 12 years ago. My doctor didn't even tell me. i didn't check my yearly results either. But I had all those symptoms progressively getting worse. Now I have neuropathy. ughhh.
