My symptoms are extreme fatigue..thirst and exsessive water drinking( what friends noticed as not normal) ,dark skin patches and sugar cravings even during a meal..weight gain.
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ruclips.net/user/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
I have never eaten junk food, consumed sodas or not been active but still got insulin resistane just from eating too much and not getting enough sleep. Just shows how sensitive our bodies actually are.
3 meals per day is too frequent , cut it down to one large meal per day and thank me later . No rice No bread , No ripe banana , No potato . I know this is hard but Try it for 3 months and then quit if you are not pleased .
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
@Don Bot Please get your daughter seen by her doctor. In the meantime, track exactly how many OUNCESs of water and any other liquid she is drinking, and the TIMEs she drinks. Also, track when she URINATES, and an estimate of how much. (Example: Slightly urinated, Diaper Soaked, etc). Just a day or 2 of tracking this should be good information for her doctor. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) is very serious. Please don't wait. God bless!
Have you taken your girl to the doctor? She could have type 1 diabetes. When I was diagnosed, there was also a 9 month old baby boy with type 1 diabetes. TAKE HER TO THE DOC NOW PLEASE.
Hypertensive for nearly 30 years on meds. Pre diabetic for over 15 years. Fasting blood sugar has increased over the last 10 years. Struggled with weight loss over the years. I have had retinal bleeds in both eyes that required laser retinal surgery. Noticed frequent urination. Carbohydrate addicted. When I started to connect the dots and did my research, I went low carb / keto and have turned my health around. Medical profession was of little help as I had to figure this out for myself all thru RUclips.
@@dw8723 I have never done keto but replacing carbs with oats (only 1-2 times a week) and having buckwheat with my meals has been a life changer. I can’t do low carbs because I will feel hungry no matter what so having buckwheat (plain cooked) as a carb replacement has been a game changer. You can give it a try.
Gurl!! I have 11 out of 15 symptoms! You have opened my eyes to why I have not half, not most but all my medical issues. I think you video literally just saved my life. I am so stoked to know I can make adjustments in my life to help live a healthier and happier life.
I have been Keto for almost 2 years now. I lost 70 pounds total. I'm female, and now weight 102 pounds. I'm at my goal weight at this time. I have my labs done soon then my doc appt. I sure hope my labs are good. Keto has been very good to me.
Keto here as well. Eating bread was the biggest thorn..after two years on keto, the weight is coming off slow..but overall, I’m doing so much better. I am on Berberine now, after stopping Metformin a year ago..only took it for ten months..all the while, realizing it was depleting coqo10, folate, and b12..I took all three of these supplements while on Metformin..my dr cheered me on. Thanks for your channel…
I've struggled with swollen ankles for years and would never have thought it was due to high blood sugar. I thought it was too much sodium. When I behave and eat low carb my ankles look so much better.
IR causes the body to retain more sodium, but the sodium is not the problem. For most people, once they become metabolically healthy they do not retain water when they consume the same amount of sodium.
Great info. I had my fasting insulin measured for the first time last week (it was 3.6). I had metabolic syndrome and regret not having it measured back then just to have a comparison! I've lost 90 pounds on high protein, animal based whole foods and completely reversed my insulin resistance.
Where do we begin with changing our eating? Cutting out carbs … seems sooooochallenging to me. I’m an island girl and we eat rice and dumplings with a lot of meals…
This is all true and verified by my doctor. These signs can also be seen in children. My son started showing the brown skin around his neck when he gained weight as a teenager. At 27 he works out and eats very healthy. The brown skin has disappeared. I'm on KETO right now & hope to get rid of many of the symptoms that Kait has noted on this video.
I'm 105 pounds heavier than I was at 20 but I eat less & exercise more. I have nearly every one of these symptoms. I will start the keto diet tomorrow.
most of them apply to me. i have an endroconogist that I see every 6 months. i mentiobed it to her and ignored me i told her i was doing Keto and that i was feeling better. i requested blood work done and my tryglicirides went from 220 to 158. i stillhave difficulty loosig weight list only 10 lbs ib in 5 mo. i requested new endroconologist . i diagnosed my self . many dr do not like to hear you are educating yourself about your health. thank you for educating us.
I’m obese but I’m very happy that I’ve only 3/4 of the listed symptoms: *waist to hight ratio * dark patches * abdominal fat (* and sometimes the sugar cravings but it’s mostly when I’m stressed) It motivates me to continue my weight lost journey. I know I started few weeks ago at 105kg (231 pounds) but I refused to weigh myself. I would just keep doing intermittent fasting and exercice and kind of “low carb” diet till I see that I’ve lost around 15 - 25 kg (35-55pounds). Thanks you for the very informative video
I was diagnosed with this a few weeks back but turns out I've had fairly useless doctors as I've had symptoms for years (including when I was very slim - BMI of 19) but I always noticed that if I slacked off at all with eating/exercise I'd gain weight around my stomach but nowhere else. I changed jobs but still ate under my supposed metabolic weight but gained about 40kg in 4-5yrs (30 of that in 3yrs). Again doctors would always focus on my iron which was chronically low and just said regarding insulin to just eat well and exercise which I was doing... finally a doctor took it seriously and with no change to life style and just Metformin (because I have been eating well and exercising a lot) I've dropped 2kg in 2 weeks which I never could and just maintaining was hard. Thank you for more information as I never knew so many of the symptoms I've had for years but no one took me seriously
Thank you Kait! I’ve been dieting for at least 45 of my 58 years and have learned a lot. With hard work and exercise, I got my weight under control by 40s. Currently diligently working on high blood sugar with A1C of 7.3. Things I’ve heard my whole life make so much sense the way you explain them! Love your channel!!
I have 8 out of the 15 symptoms! I recently had blood work done, but without explanation of the results and how to link it all together, it’s all confusing to me! But with your thorough explanation and now knowing what symptoms to look for I’m better educated!! Omg I just diagnosed myself as being somewhat insulin resistant, even tho my fasting glucose was 87! I’m excited to know though that I can reverse this without medication! Now let me go binge your other videos of how to reverse this! Thank you Coach Kait! You are truly amazing!
I was finally diagnosed as insulin resistant at 36 after begging doctors for help for years. I am now 63 I am still somewhat insulin resistant, I am constantly having to think about my diet. It’s worth it not to be diabetic! I did 23 and me gene study and I do have the db gene as I knew, of course. I am grateful for everyone that helped me with this disease.
I have not checked all of you uploads, but I recommend talking about skinny fat people. I know quite a few people that are tiny - 100 to 120 lbs thereabouts - and have full on diabetes. They drink a lot of Starbucks, never seem to gain weight, can fit any outfit they choose, and are diabetic, on medication, have unknowingly high blood pressure or recently found out that they do, and look fit a a fiddle. I write this because people usually start with the height to weight ratio and pictures of overweight people, but that lulls people falsely into tuning out the rest of the message. SKINNY FAT, now that's a topic.
(Harry) I had quite a few of the symptoms you're talking about her before going keto. I had a lot of them while being Vegan for 6 years before going, Keto. So yes, you really have to watch what you're taking in. Get rid of the SUGAR, I feel that's a FANTASTIC place to start.
I had gestational diabetes and I have never been healthier in my life since now I am 123 pounds so happy working out and eating healthy love this video thank you
I have most of these symptoms and have had some of them for most of my life (60 yrs old). Even when I was skinny my hip to waist ratio was like a straight line. I've always had irregular periods if at all (no children) and I've had skin tags for at least 40 years. My body is constantly inflamed and I am in pain all day everyday. Last fall I started the keto to reduce the inflammation. It helps and I've lost 30lbs but, I am still in pain and my left foot still swells at the ankle and always hurts. How come no Dr ever told me that I may be insulin resistant when I was younger? I could have avoided all of this. It's as if the Drs want us to be sick.
OMG! I have 12 of this Symptoms thank you so much for this video , I really appreciated. I am going to change my food intake from now on thank you so much!
I was 282 pounds and working a stressful job. Working nights so not sleeping well and not eating well. I decided to retire early and take care of myself. In one year I lost over 50 pounds my A1c went from 7.2 down to 5.9 I’m still a work in progress but learn a lesson from me. Remove the stress from your life.
You explain this all SO much better than any doctor I've talked to. Working on getting myself back under control. Planning to try the intermittent fasting and sensible eating as you have suggested in previous videos.
The swollen ankles can also be contributed to due to endothelial damage from excess glucose leading to leaky blood vessel lining so more fluid is forced out into the interstitium and not returned via the lymphatics. Vascular insufficiency can also contribute
I have PCOS, but I've been on Keto for almost 5 years and have had almost 300 lbs of weight loss. The only symptoms I now have are skin tags- everything else is gone. I'm on Progesterone hormone replacement for the PCOS, so I don't have a cycle, but I still encounter ovulation and occasional water retention (I think my Norethindrone causes it). I know IR would come right back if I were to go off of Keto. I have been advised by my OBGYN and my Genera Physician to never eat refined sugar or carbs again.
Wow I’ve learned so much, you’re a good teacher. I’ve experienced many of the symptoms and the most prevalent has been swollen ankles. Years of acne as a teenager, and very hairy legs, and now in my mature years, legs are clear and I have a little beard on my chin. now I get Medicare, and actually go to the doctor I’ve just found out I’m insulin resistant, thanks to you I understand my path to health.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Back when I studied food science and had to take nutrition classes, a favorite target of the nutrition professors was knocking “food faddists.” You food faddists are as entertaining now as then.
Great video!!! My bloodwork, fasting insulin etc. is always normal. I have dark patches of skin (abdomen & underarms) and tiny skin tags started to appear on my neck towards the end of my pregnancy. I'm 5 months postpartum and my son was 10 lbs 4 oz. At the hospital I was questioned if I had GD because he was so huge (I did not). However, I think it may have just went undiagnosed. 🤷♀️ Working on reversing this and losing the weight. 40 lbs down, many more to go!
@@HealthCoachKait I don't but will find out. I definitely question everything doctors say now, sometimes more than once... I've had a few health issues that were overlooked. I kept pushing only to finally get a diagnosis of Avascular Necrosis (bone death). So at 36, I just had a baby in May and a hip replacement in August. Thank you for doing what you're doing because despite people giving youtubers a bad rep for giving health advice, I've learned so much more from people like yourself than I can say of the medical community.
GREAT VIDEO! Cutting out sugar and eating your blood type diet almost every day and staying in ketosis for first hour of day fixed insulin resistance, it worked for me.
I literally have every symptom EXCEPT my periods are very regular like clockwork every month so my gyno doesn’t believe i have PCOS. BUT I still have Cysts!!! They burst sometimes it’s the most excruciating pain I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. I finally convinced him to do an ultrasound to see if he will diagnose me but aside from putting me on birth control and saying I need to lose weight he doesn’t seem to really be helpful in helping me figure this out so I’m on RUclips and listening to podcasts n reading all sorts of books and info I can get on the topic.
My doctor told me, "You're FINE! NO sign of diabetes!" My HBA1C was literally just ONE point away from the "orange" zone. Which would be prediabetes. I knew better, so I took it into my own hands. I check my HBA1C at home every 3 months, check my blood sugar regularly and have taken dietary improvement measures. ***EDIT*** Because the question is frequent in the comment thread I will add this. If you would like to check your HBA1C (AKA A1C call it which ever you choose here, they are the same thing) levels at home you can usually find the test kits at the drug store. I usually order from CVS. These come in a two pack. Everlywell has one more expensive and takes much longer to get results as it is mailed in. No matter the HBA1C (or A1C) test kit you use please be sure to follow directions EXACTLY so that you may get the most accurate results. If you want to keep a more regular check on your blood sugars you can also purchase a meter as well as the lancets and test strips. This can be a very good tool to check your progress as well as you make dietary changes. If you have an HSA account with your insurance you can usually use that to purchase these items. Just be sure to check the list of approved expenses beforehand. I check my fasting blood sugar daily. At the start it was between 110 and 119. Now it is usually between 89 and 105, with the majority of the readings being under 100. My starting HBA1C (A1C) was 5.5 and rose to a 5.7, which is when I began taking matters into my own hands at home since the doctor didn't see this as an issue. I hope this info is helpful.
You just can't trust doctor's. They are not always looking at things the way we do. I'm going to start checking my levels. I feel like something is off, my doctor just says nothing is wrong with my bloodwork.
Doctors are excellent in saving people lives when very sick, but they are also the ones taking people there. Doctors let us be sick so they can save our lives down the road
@@cpwwjd69 Sounds like you're sick of the deception as well! They wait until we are sick to do anything for us. I say, if you see a flame an all out fire can't be that far behind. That aside, I don't know what stores you have in your area, but CVS has a two pack of the HBA1C tests. Just be sure to follow the directions exactly. Also you can order from varying other sites. I also have a glucose meter. From time to time I check my glucose in the morning while fasting, but also after a carb heavy meal or snack to see what how I'm doing in that regard. I have come a very long way doing this. Best of luck and health to you!
I have 11 that I know of! Your videos have been so helpful! I was diagnosed with pcos and thought I had to live with it and the symptoms. I didn’t know it was related to insulin resistance. I have an appointment with my GP next week to get help thanks to you! 💞💞💞
This is very helpful, I'm extremely skinny and struggle to gain weight, but I do have 9 of the symptoms I felt or seen myself without seeing a doctor. I also have yeast overgrowth problems in my stomach and developed aczema out of no where and depending on what I eat, it irritates it. I was on a special diet to help with the yeast problem but unfortunately I lost 10 pounds and my normal weight is 80 pounds, so I had to stop the diet to gain my weight back. I was born with hormonal problem that I inherited from my mom, we both produce high levels of testosterone. She was skinny like me when she was younger, I'm still small in my 40's but I also haven't had cancers, gallbladder/kidney stones, or nor have children of my own, so I look extremely young and healthy looking when in truth been struggling since birth with health problems. I'm looking forward to looking more into insulin resistance.
Just a few things: 1. 6ft 1.5" tall with a 34" / 86 cm waist. I am a pretty slim guy, but have lower belly pooch - 34" waist / 17% BF / 176 lbs. 2. I get sugar cravings sometimes, but can resist mosat of the time. 3. I wake up to pee about 2 x per night. I don't pee excessive amounts and every 3-4 hrs in the day time. I am more thirsty at night. 4. My fasting Blood Sugar is just less than 5 mmol (90 mg/dL). I did test on 5 different mornings. 5. My 2 hr post meal Blood Sugar is between 4.3 mmol - 5.8 mmol (77.4 mg/dL - 104.4 mg/dL) 6. My 1 hr post meal Blood Sugar is 5.8 mmol average (104.4 mg/dL). 7. My Triglycerides are 1.1 mmol / 97.9 mg/dL. 8. My HDL is 1.4 mmol / 54.6 mg/dL. 9. My BP is normal usually betweeen 110-120 over 70-80 My hbA1C is 32 mmol (5.1%) My TG:HDL ratio is 1:79 mg/dL Should I be concerned?
I’m 59. I have seven of them and my hormone doctor tested my insulin levels and said I had insulin resistance. I have gained 40 pounds over the last ten years, mostly in my abdomen. I’m menopausal and have tried every diet and only ever lose ten pounds.
Hello Kait, thank you for this video. I have 0.583 weight to height ratio and that just confirms why I'm feeling something's wrong with my body and I have the other symptoms as well. You have educated me and saved my life! Now, I know what to adjust so I can prolong my life. Thank you so much! ❤
“Anyway” is an adverb meaning regardless. Simply put, “anyway” without an S is correct. Always use it without the S. “Anyways” with the S is considered slang, and is a part of nonstandard, colloquial, or informal English. Furthermore, since “anyway” is an adverb and it is impossible for adverbs to be plural.
I was diagnosed with hypertension and hyperlipidemia several years ago. I was prescribed Lisinopril, amlodipine and atorvastatin. I started IF and low carb diet 2 months ago and now I don’t have to take my BP meds. My liver function test has always been abnormal for over 10 years and for the first time my LFT was WNL last month. I wish I would have known this years ago. Now I go around and spread the word about insulin resistance.
I am mindblown. I have 11 of the symptoms, and I have been managing HBP for the past two years with a heart doctor, however, as I'm treating Type 2 diabetes for the past month, I realize I have not mentioned to my doc that I have PCOS and this could actually change everything. I'll also go see my GYNO, he knows my PCOS history and might now better. Thank you for your amazing amazing amazing videos. I'm in absolute awe!! You explain everything very well. Thank you so much!
Have you ever looked into high liver enzymes. I am a heavy drinker and got diagnosed with high liver enzymes. Obviously, my doctor said quit drinking. I didn't until my liver enzymes hit over 400. I stopped drinking for about a month and got rechecked. Well, they dropped 5 points. A couple years ago, I decided to change my lifestyle because of my arthritis. I went on a low carb diet and still drink heavy but my liver enzymes are at normal range. 14 years after be diagnosed, with the help of Dr. Bikman, I have normal liver enzymes.
I think being keto and then giving up on keto gave me insulin resistance. I put on two stone. Now I'm eating really healthily, not more than 1400 cals per day, all the right choices but I am not losing weight. Bmi 27 for about 4 months. It is not budging.
To lose weight slowly I have to simultaneously be on Keto, Intermittent Fasting AND calorie restriction! Good bet I have every metabolic condition known to man kind.
Before I started keto I urinated very very often, thats why I wasn’t drinking much water and after drinking anything I am going to the toilet very often. After starting keto I noticed that I go less often I guess 😏 on the other hand I have never been very thirsty. But oh dear every time I felt sooo much graving for the desert after a meal, but now been without sugar one month. Sooo proud of myself and it’s also so easy with keto. I love keto food’s!! 🥰😍 And one more thing I noticed , I had a pain on my inside tight while walking and it’s gone. 😏
@@davidharcot220 thanks for your advice, but yes like said, it’s gone. I am in the office work and often I noticed that when to stand up and walk somewhere there is this weird pain witch makes me limp. Didn’t but much attention to that, but suddenly when I had started keto I just one day realized that oh, the pain is gone! It was unexpected suprise.
It is so good to find you and the hosts of others discussing this. Soooo I'm 67 and at the age of 27 was denied Health insurance because I had a Triglycrides above 1000, but a blood sugar of 108 and no test ever for A1c. I have yo-yo'd in weight since then and could never control it. I found KETO in 2018 and had lost 45 pounds and kept it off for 3 years. But now i'm struggling with sugar cravings and weight gain again. This vid helped to reconnect with that issue. My most prevalent symptoms are the sugar cravings belly fat and the skin tags. No doctor yet has helped just KETO so far. Keep up the good work!!!
"... and addressing them with your doctor." LOL, that's really funny, because most doctors don't care if you have insulin resistance. Most doctors won't do a thing until you're pre-diabetic, and even then they don't really do anything.
I’m sure this is what’s wrong with me I went vegan 8 years ago and although I feel like it helped me I also think it hurt me..I believe now after years of health issues I’m insulin resistance..can someone explain clearly what low carb means? Also I see people saying keto helps so I’m truly considering doing keto or vegan keto..but fasting has helped me but I gained the weight back but it does help..thank you for your videos..why 🤷🏽♀️ don’t Doctors teach this..I’ve learned everything from the internet lol 😂 this is so crazy 🤦🏽♀️
Low carb is generally less than 100g of carbs a day. I have a whole video about what low carb means and how to put together meals 🤗 ruclips.net/video/JMmPxJWhYAc/видео.html You might also find my video on insulin resistance on a vegan diet helpful ruclips.net/video/uieivKzQ9no/видео.html
@@HealthCoachKait thank you so much..I’m always confused about “low carb” like do people mean fruit or starches so I will definitely check both out! Thank you so much!!! 😊
The information you’re providing is excellent, tells me that my primary dropped the ball for years when I complained about so many of the 15 symptoms you discussed. It’s awkward to watch you, however.. you look (and sound) like you’re trying so hard to hold back laughter while discussing a serious topic.
I’ve had it basically my whole life and I’m 49. I’ve been paleo-keto for 20+ years and I had it under great control for a while while I was exercising a ton- something I started when I was 12 because I gained weight so easily. But I’ve been injured for 5.5 years and not exercising threw everything back out of balance . I’ve gained 35 lbs or more and I still eat paleo. I never have sweets in my house, but if I go stay with relatives or something and there are sweets everywhere I get very intense cravings. Just seeing pictures of sweets on social media can make me feel intense cravings. It’s so frustrating. I never craved anything when I was super fit.
Well I'm a bad case of it. I have all 15 symptoms. Oh boy! What really helped me to lose some weight was starting the keto diet which I heard from a Dr that that is the best diet when diagnosed with PCOS. Think I have to start it again, but this time Mediterranean styled too. At least some things Mediterranean styled.
Ive had pcos for years! Even before being diabetic. My sugars are high but ive started to get my period a little more regularly despite being close to menopause.
This has nothing to do with this very informative video, but HCK looks better in braces than any other person I've ever seen. She's very cute. Thanks for sharing about IR.
I started low carb in January. My A1c was 6.3. 50 grams carbs is my max per day, but a lot of times less. I lost about 18 pounds. I started using a Dario blood glucose meter last week. After numerous tests, my blood sugar is below 100 in the morning when I got up. My highest blood sugar after eating was 125. The meter says I have an estimated a1c of 5.4! How cool is that?
My ankles for very swollen and in my back and I ended up feeling sick and found out liver blood work not right and kidneys and and my blood pressure was also high, so I started fasting alot and it all went away.
Confounders: being me to can cause frequent urination and therefore increased thirst. Being an older man can cause prostate issues that can in tease urination. Some medications also can mimic these symptoms.
I have at least 8 of these. Had no clue they where connected. Even have seen a dr for these issues and was not told this. Thank you for the information
I think this is what my husband has and I’m going to get if we don’t do something. I went vegan March 2018, because I absolutely started to hate eating/cooking meat. It was something I wanted to do for years before I did it and we dabbled with it before fully becoming vegan. What do you turn to when you go vegan? Carbs. Soy. Some plant-based meats. All things I love. I don’t know what to eat anymore. Ugh!
What about dark elbows??? At first my Dr thought it was my birth control causing it so i stopped taking it. Now they think its a early sign of insulin resistance. Have u ever heard of that??
I have all of the things you mentioned! I started taking Rybelsus for insulin resistance e and weight loss and my ankles are so much better hardly ever swollen
I was diagnosed with insulin resistance last September and have lost over 80 pds. I had every system except for the acne. I wish I would have known about it sooner. I had such a sweet tooth with it. I always loved carbs but I didn't have much of an actual sweet tooth. I craved sugar and carbs all of the time. Metformin amd a huge diet change plus trulicity shot. Has changed my life.
I didn't know PCOS could be caused by insulin resistance. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2019 and I'm currently pregnant and was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and one of the questions the doctor asked me was if I had tested positive for insulin resistance before and I said no because no one has ever tested me
It's so frustrating that doctors don't test insulin! Check out my video on PCOS specifically where I explain how they are related ruclips.net/video/26_mLZbC23w/видео.html All the best with your pregnancy 🥰
i have all of them.. and yes, i've known I was Insulin resistant for 16 or so years at this point.. was diagnosed with PCOS and IR.. though I seriously think most of my doctors since then have ignored the IR portion of my dx ... just tell me to eat less and exercise more.. which we all know isn't actually helpful in this case as it doesn't actually address what is actually going on... I was actually losing weight when I first went on metformin and was making a lot of progress... and then I was in a car accident in 2007 which derailed everything and triggered some other issues and I've not been able to get things actually sorted since then and it was after that when they started ignoring my IR issues... (do have a new doc who is finally actually running tests and scans to figure out what is going on, so who knows... i do need to remind him about the IR though...) they do at least check my A1 regularly... (though that may be is because I have a HEAVY family history of diabetes on both sides....)
I am 73, have boo-coo energy, rarely tired, I have a big belly which I can't get rid of, I take a multitude of supplements for a long time. Ginger, dandelion, D3, turmeric, cranberry, V-C, garlic, magnesium, B-12. Main diet is greens, olive oil, olives, artichoke hearts, sea salt or Himalayan salt, pepper, sea food, lemon water daily. Exercise, still can't knock off the belly and have swollen ankles. HELP!
I love you! I needed your channel . I am struggling with insulin resistance and pcos. I have frequent urination, hormonal acne, skinny with a pouch, dark armpits slightly, irregular cycle, more hair on my upper lip than I would like. I have been struggling for YEARS. It’s all starting to make sense on what I need to change . I was vegan for a few years and ate only carbs, it messes me up . I’m back on eating proteins and will begin cleaning my diet more. I am excited and motivated to do so since I want to be the best version of myself. Can you help with loose skin videos ?
What I really need is how to lose weight I’ve been on Keto for 4 weeks now, and I’ve only lost 4 lbs, my husbands lost 14 lbs, and he’s not been very strict, I am also totally constipated since I started with so little fibre, I really don’t know what to do, taken all sorts of things but nothing works.
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since 1970. I can attest that if you get all your insulin by injection, insulin resistance is still possible, even likely. Now that I’m on essentially a carnivore diet, it’s not so bad, but on the high-carbohydrate diet still widely recommended for diabetics, it’s likely if not usual. Can’t get rid of my visceral fat though it’s gone down.
My son (just turned 14) is T1 since age 3 and also struggles with weight. It went from him just being on the slightly chubby side to being overweight for his height when he went on insulin. He is at the age where he is suddenly self conscious about it, and while he is not huge (about 190 pounds and 5'11), he is much larger than his classmates. he eats the same diet as his brother (6'1 and 150 pounds) and sister (5'9 and 140 pounds) yet can so easily gain weight I have noticed. I wonder if he was born with my (insulin resistant, estrogen dominant) body type or if it's the insulin. He has always been tightly controlled (ie low A1C's but the requisite lots of insulin to attain it). I am thinking about trying full keto this summer on him, but was a little hesitant with DKA concerns, but since you do carnivore it clearly isn't an issue. Just thinking out loud!
How many of these symptoms do you have?
I have skin tags. I was told that they were hormonal. I was able to lose 16 lbs. Now I plateau. I was hoping to lose to more lbs.
My symptoms are extreme fatigue..thirst and exsessive water drinking( what friends noticed as not normal) ,dark skin patches and sugar cravings even during a meal..weight gain.
Claudia S hormonal could mean from insulin. Kudos on the 16lb lose! Depending on how much you have to lose weight loss can slow down over time.
I am extremely IR ....yet only have 2 of the 15 symptoms. One being the most obvious of high blood sugar.
@@HealthCoachKait I got a lot of moles after got on the “pill” but you are right. I never lost weight during that time but not the lack of exercise.
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ruclips.net/user/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.

Thank you!
I have 7 symptoms
If I have 2 outta this does that mean I have ir
I just have abdominal fat....
I have never eaten junk food, consumed sodas or not been active but still got insulin resistane just from eating too much and not getting enough sleep. Just shows how sensitive our bodies actually are.
Sleep is key! I hope you are on the path to recovery 🧡
3 meals per day is too frequent , cut it down to one large meal per day and thank me later . No rice No bread , No ripe banana , No potato . I know this is hard but Try it for 3 months and then quit if you are not pleased .
@@powersonic6255 I eat a Standard Western diet BUT I eat one big meal every other day and I do NOT have IR.
One meal a day is awful for your body and metabolism! Everyone knows that.

*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
None is best for reversal
@@HealthCoachKait excuse me? What do you mean?
@Don Bot Please get your daughter seen by her doctor. In the meantime, track exactly how many OUNCESs of water and any other liquid she is drinking, and the TIMEs she drinks.
Also, track when she URINATES, and an estimate of how much. (Example: Slightly urinated, Diaper Soaked, etc). Just a day or 2 of tracking this should be good information for her doctor.
Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) is very serious. Please don't wait.
God bless!
Have you taken your girl to the doctor?
She could have type 1 diabetes. When I was diagnosed, there was also a 9 month old baby boy with type 1 diabetes.
TAKE HER TO THE DOC NOW PLEASE.

Hypertensive for nearly 30 years on meds. Pre diabetic for over 15 years. Fasting blood sugar has increased over the last 10 years. Struggled with weight loss over the years. I have had retinal bleeds in both eyes that required laser retinal surgery. Noticed frequent urination. Carbohydrate addicted. When I started to connect the dots and did my research, I went low carb / keto and have turned my health around. Medical profession was of little help as I had to figure this out for myself all thru RUclips.
🙏🙏
Yeah doctors weren’t helpful for me either, I started working with a nutritionist and it was a game changer
@@dw8723 I don’t do keto, my nutritionist has me limiting carbs and pairing low glycemic carbs with a fat or protein to slow digestion
@@dw8723 As I gave up carbs my gut biome changed. I had the bouts with loose stools and constipation. As time went on, my system adjusted.
@@dw8723 I have never done keto but replacing carbs with oats (only 1-2 times a week) and having buckwheat with my meals has been a life changer. I can’t do low carbs because I will feel hungry no matter what so having buckwheat (plain cooked) as a carb replacement has been a game changer. You can give it a try.
Gurl!! I have 11 out of 15 symptoms! You have opened my eyes to why I have not half, not most but all my medical issues. I think you video literally just saved my life. I am so stoked to know I can make adjustments in my life to help live a healthier and happier life.
So glad the video helped you! ❤️ Not enough awareness about insulin resistance out there 😩
Activate now!
I have been Keto for almost 2 years now. I lost 70 pounds total. I'm female, and now weight 102 pounds. I'm at my goal weight at this time. I have my labs done soon then my doc appt. I sure hope my labs are good. Keto has been very good to me.
👏👏
Keto here as well. Eating bread was the biggest thorn..after two years on keto, the weight is coming off slow..but overall, I’m doing so much better. I am on Berberine now, after stopping Metformin a year ago..only took it for ten months..all the while, realizing it was depleting coqo10, folate, and b12..I took all three of these supplements while on Metformin..my dr cheered me on. Thanks for your channel…
I've struggled with swollen ankles for years and would never have thought it was due to high blood sugar. I thought it was too much sodium. When I behave and eat low carb my ankles look so much better.
Apparently doctors don't know it ether.
IR causes the body to retain more sodium, but the sodium is not the problem. For most people, once they become metabolically healthy they do not retain water when they consume the same amount of sodium.
Magnesium
Great info. I had my fasting insulin measured for the first time last week (it was 3.6). I had metabolic syndrome and regret not having it measured back then just to have a comparison! I've lost 90 pounds on high protein, animal based whole foods and completely reversed my insulin resistance.
I have ALL these symptoms.
Worst part not one doctor took note of this. 2 Because of your video on PCOS I'm now aware of the problem .
Thank you
Where do we begin with changing our eating? Cutting out carbs … seems sooooochallenging to me. I’m an island girl and we eat rice and dumplings with a lot of meals…
@@natashadwyer8336 watch my video on reversing IR! There are strategies you can use while still eating carb ruclips.net/video/keahoQNDKxE/видео.html
This is all true and verified by my doctor. These signs can also be seen in children. My son started showing the brown skin around his neck when he gained weight as a teenager. At 27 he works out and eats very healthy. The brown skin has disappeared. I'm on KETO right now & hope to get rid of many of the symptoms that Kait has noted on this video.

I'm 105 pounds heavier than I was at 20 but I eat less & exercise more. I have nearly every one of these symptoms. I will start the keto diet tomorrow.

most of them apply to me. i have an endroconogist that I see every 6 months. i mentiobed it to her and ignored me i told her i was doing Keto and that i was feeling better. i requested blood work done and my tryglicirides went from 220 to 158. i stillhave difficulty loosig weight list only 10 lbs ib in 5 mo. i requested new endroconologist . i diagnosed my self . many dr do not like to hear you are educating yourself about your health. thank you for educating us.

I’m obese but I’m very happy that I’ve only 3/4 of the listed symptoms:
*waist to hight ratio
* dark patches
* abdominal fat
(* and sometimes the sugar cravings but it’s mostly when I’m stressed)
It motivates me to continue my weight lost journey. I know I started few weeks ago at 105kg (231 pounds) but I refused to weigh myself. I would just keep doing intermittent fasting and exercice and kind of “low carb” diet till I see that I’ve lost around 15 - 25 kg (35-55pounds).
Thanks you for the very informative video
Sounds like you are on the right track! You've got this! 🤗
Update? How Much did u lose
I was diagnosed with this a few weeks back but turns out I've had fairly useless doctors as I've had symptoms for years (including when I was very slim - BMI of 19) but I always noticed that if I slacked off at all with eating/exercise I'd gain weight around my stomach but nowhere else. I changed jobs but still ate under my supposed metabolic weight but gained about 40kg in 4-5yrs (30 of that in 3yrs). Again doctors would always focus on my iron which was chronically low and just said regarding insulin to just eat well and exercise which I was doing... finally a doctor took it seriously and with no change to life style and just Metformin (because I have been eating well and exercising a lot) I've dropped 2kg in 2 weeks which I never could and just maintaining was hard.
Thank you for more information as I never knew so many of the symptoms I've had for years but no one took me seriously
Thank you Kait! I’ve been dieting for at least 45 of my 58 years and have learned a lot. With hard work and exercise, I got my weight under control by 40s. Currently diligently working on high blood sugar with A1C of 7.3. Things I’ve heard my whole life make so much sense the way you explain them! Love your channel!!
👏👏
I have 8 out of the 15 symptoms! I recently had blood work done, but without explanation of the results and how to link it all together, it’s all confusing to me! But with your thorough explanation and now knowing what symptoms to look for I’m better educated!! Omg I just diagnosed myself as being somewhat insulin resistant, even tho my fasting glucose was 87! I’m excited to know though that I can reverse this without medication! Now let me go binge your other videos of how to reverse this! Thank you Coach Kait! You are truly amazing!
I was finally diagnosed as insulin resistant at 36 after begging doctors for help for years. I am now 63 I am still somewhat insulin resistant, I am constantly having to think about my diet. It’s worth it not to be diabetic! I did 23 and me gene study and I do have the db gene as I knew, of course. I am grateful for everyone that helped me with this disease.
I have not checked all of you uploads, but I recommend talking about skinny fat people. I know quite a few people that are tiny - 100 to 120 lbs thereabouts - and have full on diabetes. They drink a lot of Starbucks, never seem to gain weight, can fit any outfit they choose, and are diabetic, on medication, have unknowingly high blood pressure or recently found out that they do, and look fit a a fiddle. I write this because people usually start with the height to weight ratio and pictures of overweight people, but that lulls people falsely into tuning out the rest of the message. SKINNY FAT, now that's a topic.
(Harry) I had quite a few of the symptoms you're talking about her before going keto. I had a lot of them while being Vegan for 6 years before going, Keto. So yes, you really have to watch what you're taking in. Get rid of the SUGAR, I feel that's a FANTASTIC place to start.
👏👏
I had gestational diabetes and I have never been healthier in my life since now I am 123 pounds so happy working out and eating healthy love this video thank you
I have most of these symptoms and have had some of them for most of my life (60 yrs old). Even when I was skinny my hip to waist ratio was like a straight line. I've always had irregular periods if at all (no children) and I've had skin tags for at least 40 years. My body is constantly inflamed and I am in pain all day everyday. Last fall I started the keto to reduce the inflammation. It helps and I've lost 30lbs but, I am still in pain and my left foot still swells at the ankle and always hurts.
How come no Dr ever told me that I may be insulin resistant when I was younger? I could have avoided all of this. It's as if the Drs want us to be sick.
OMG! I have 12 of this Symptoms thank you so much for this video , I really appreciated. I am going to change my food intake from now on thank you so much!
I am 16 years old I am 100 kg and I am trying to loose weight your video helped me and I don’t have any of them
Explained in such a layman language. Appreciate it Kait. You just ROCK..!!! ❤️❤️
Thank you 😁
I was 282 pounds and working a stressful job. Working nights so not sleeping well and not eating well. I decided to retire early and take care of myself. In one year I lost over 50 pounds my A1c went from 7.2 down to 5.9 I’m still a work in progress but learn a lesson from me. Remove the stress from your life.
You explain this all SO much better than any doctor I've talked to. Working on getting myself back under control. Planning to try the intermittent fasting and sensible eating as you have suggested in previous videos.
❤️❤️
The swollen ankles can also be contributed to due to endothelial damage from excess glucose leading to leaky blood vessel lining so more fluid is forced out into the interstitium and not returned via the lymphatics. Vascular insufficiency can also contribute
It is so amazing how spot on everything you say is… doctors test confirm it all.
🤗🤗
I have PCOS, but I've been on Keto for almost 5 years and have had almost 300 lbs of weight loss. The only symptoms I now have are skin tags- everything else is gone. I'm on Progesterone hormone replacement for the PCOS, so I don't have a cycle, but I still encounter ovulation and occasional water retention (I think my Norethindrone causes it). I know IR would come right back if I were to go off of Keto. I have been advised by my OBGYN and my Genera Physician to never eat refined sugar or carbs again.
Did you experience "unwanted" body hair? Is it gone now thanks to keto?
Thanks in advance!
Awesome work and results!
Is keto the best approach for insulin resistance ?
Wow I’ve learned so much, you’re a good teacher. I’ve experienced many of the symptoms and the most prevalent has been swollen ankles. Years of acne as a teenager, and very hairy legs, and now in my mature years, legs are clear and I have a little beard on my chin. now I get Medicare, and actually go to the doctor I’ve just found out I’m insulin resistant, thanks to you I understand my path to health.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Back when I studied food science and had to take nutrition classes, a favorite target of the nutrition professors was knocking “food faddists.”
You food faddists are as entertaining now as then.
Great video!!! My bloodwork, fasting insulin etc. is always normal. I have dark patches of skin (abdomen & underarms) and tiny skin tags started to appear on my neck towards the end of my pregnancy. I'm 5 months postpartum and my son was 10 lbs 4 oz. At the hospital I was questioned if I had GD because he was so huge (I did not). However, I think it may have just went undiagnosed. 🤷♀️ Working on reversing this and losing the weight. 40 lbs down, many more to go!
Do you know what your fasting insulin was? Another issue is the reference ranges are based off averages and no what is actually healthy 😩
@@jw4258 anything over 8 signifies IR instagram.com/p/CUa37BwBZ98/
@@HealthCoachKait I don't but will find out. I definitely question everything doctors say now, sometimes more than once... I've had a few health issues that were overlooked. I kept pushing only to finally get a diagnosis of Avascular Necrosis (bone death). So at 36, I just had a baby in May and a hip replacement in August.
Thank you for doing what you're doing because despite people giving youtubers a bad rep for giving health advice, I've learned so much more from people like yourself than I can say of the medical community.
GREAT VIDEO! Cutting out sugar and eating your blood type diet almost every day and staying in ketosis for first hour of day fixed insulin resistance, it worked for me.
👏👏
Cutting out sugar is hard but I'm determined! 💪
I literally have every symptom EXCEPT my periods are very regular like clockwork every month so my gyno doesn’t believe i have PCOS. BUT I still have Cysts!!! They burst sometimes it’s the most excruciating pain I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. I finally convinced him to do an ultrasound to see if he will diagnose me but aside from putting me on birth control and saying I need to lose weight he doesn’t seem to really be helpful in helping me figure this out so I’m on RUclips and listening to podcasts n reading all sorts of books and info I can get on the topic.
Yeah, I have had the same experience. The specialist I went to see in no way whatsoever addressed my diet. He just said I should take the pill.
So crazy because my periods are regular on keto, I didn’t know why. Now I know! Thanks!
🙌🙌
You forgot a symptom Excessive sleepiness/fatigue after a meal.
Got off the white sugar and flour and commercial veg oil asap!
🙌🙌
Me too! And I avoid high fructose corn syrup and all artificial sugars.
I suffer from about a good 10 of these and have been struggling like crazy lately to get my weight down. Time to see my doc again
🙏🙏
My doctor told me, "You're FINE! NO sign of diabetes!" My HBA1C was literally just ONE point away from the "orange" zone. Which would be prediabetes. I knew better, so I took it into my own hands. I check my HBA1C at home every 3 months, check my blood sugar regularly and have taken dietary improvement measures.
***EDIT*** Because the question is frequent in the comment thread I will add this. If you would like to check your HBA1C (AKA A1C call it which ever you choose here, they are the same thing) levels at home you can usually find the test kits at the drug store. I usually order from CVS. These come in a two pack. Everlywell has one more expensive and takes much longer to get results as it is mailed in. No matter the HBA1C (or A1C) test kit you use please be sure to follow directions EXACTLY so that you may get the most accurate results. If you want to keep a more regular check on your blood sugars you can also purchase a meter as well as the lancets and test strips. This can be a very good tool to check your progress as well as you make dietary changes. If you have an HSA account with your insurance you can usually use that to purchase these items. Just be sure to check the list of approved expenses beforehand. I check my fasting blood sugar daily. At the start it was between 110 and 119. Now it is usually between 89 and 105, with the majority of the readings being under 100. My starting HBA1C (A1C) was 5.5 and rose to a 5.7, which is when I began taking matters into my own hands at home since the doctor didn't see this as an issue. I hope this info is helpful.
🙏🙏
You just can't trust doctor's. They are not always looking at things the way we do. I'm going to start checking my levels. I feel like something is off, my doctor just says nothing is wrong with my bloodwork.
Doctors are excellent in saving people lives when very sick, but they are also the ones taking people there.
Doctors let us be sick so they can save our lives down the road
@@cpwwjd69 Sounds like you're sick of the deception as well! They wait until we are sick to do anything for us. I say, if you see a flame an all out fire can't be that far behind. That aside, I don't know what stores you have in your area, but CVS has a two pack of the HBA1C tests. Just be sure to follow the directions exactly. Also you can order from varying other sites. I also have a glucose meter. From time to time I check my glucose in the morning while fasting, but also after a carb heavy meal or snack to see what how I'm doing in that regard. I have come a very long way doing this. Best of luck and health to you!
How do you check your HBA1C at home?
I have 11 that I know of! Your videos have been so helpful! I was diagnosed with pcos and thought I had to live with it and the symptoms. I didn’t know it was related to insulin resistance. I have an appointment with my GP next week to get help thanks to you! 💞💞💞
All the best Natalie! 😁
Try Dr. BERG ON RUclips....he far more in tune with this then my GP,.....don't ket your GP tell you drugs are the only solution.
Definitely listen to Dr. Bergs talks! He's the GOAT
This is very helpful, I'm extremely skinny and struggle to gain weight, but I do have 9 of the symptoms I felt or seen myself without seeing a doctor. I also have yeast overgrowth problems in my stomach and developed aczema out of no where and depending on what I eat, it irritates it. I was on a special diet to help with the yeast problem but unfortunately I lost 10 pounds and my normal weight is 80 pounds, so I had to stop the diet to gain my weight back. I was born with hormonal problem that I inherited from my mom, we both produce high levels of testosterone. She was skinny like me when she was younger, I'm still small in my 40's but I also haven't had cancers, gallbladder/kidney stones, or nor have children of my own, so I look extremely young and healthy looking when in truth been struggling since birth with health problems. I'm looking forward to looking more into insulin resistance.
I have type two diabetes. I did not know these symptoms but in retrospect I now see them. Wish I had known earlier. Thank you for this video.

2. I get sugar cravings sometimes, but can resist mosat of the time.
3. I wake up to pee about 2 x per night. I don't pee excessive amounts and every 3-4 hrs in the day time. I am more thirsty at night.
4. My fasting Blood Sugar is just less than 5 mmol (90 mg/dL). I did test on 5 different mornings.
5. My 2 hr post meal Blood Sugar is between 4.3 mmol - 5.8 mmol (77.4 mg/dL - 104.4 mg/dL)
6. My 1 hr post meal Blood Sugar is 5.8 mmol average (104.4 mg/dL).
7. My Triglycerides are 1.1 mmol / 97.9 mg/dL.
8. My HDL is 1.4 mmol / 54.6 mg/dL.
9. My BP is normal usually betweeen 110-120 over 70-80
My hbA1C is 32 mmol (5.1%)

“Anyway” is an adverb meaning regardless. Simply put, “anyway” without an S is correct. Always use it without the S. “Anyways” with the S is considered slang, and is a part of nonstandard, colloquial, or informal English. Furthermore, since “anyway” is an adverb and it is impossible for adverbs to be plural.
Thank you for this great info. You are such a blessing to us all. Continued blessings, favor, and peace to you and your family.

I was diagnosed with hypertension and hyperlipidemia several years ago. I was prescribed Lisinopril, amlodipine and atorvastatin. I started IF and low carb diet 2 months ago and now I don’t have to take my BP meds. My liver function test has always been abnormal for over 10 years and for the first time my LFT was WNL last month. I wish I would have known this years ago. Now I go around and spread the word about insulin resistance.

I am mindblown. I have 11 of the symptoms, and I have been managing HBP for the past two years with a heart doctor, however, as I'm treating Type 2 diabetes for the past month, I realize I have not mentioned to my doc that I have PCOS and this could actually change everything. I'll also go see my GYNO, he knows my PCOS history and might now better. Thank you for your amazing amazing amazing videos. I'm in absolute awe!! You explain everything very well. Thank you so much!
Have you ever looked into high liver enzymes. I am a heavy drinker and got diagnosed with high liver enzymes. Obviously, my doctor said quit drinking. I didn't until my liver enzymes hit over 400. I stopped drinking for about a month and got rechecked. Well, they dropped 5 points. A couple years ago, I decided to change my lifestyle because of my arthritis. I went on a low carb diet and still drink heavy but my liver enzymes are at normal range. 14 years after be diagnosed, with the help of Dr. Bikman, I have normal liver enzymes.
I think being keto and then giving up on keto gave me insulin resistance. I put on two stone. Now I'm eating really healthily, not more than 1400 cals per day, all the right choices but I am not losing weight. Bmi 27 for about 4 months. It is not budging.
To lose weight slowly I have to simultaneously be on Keto, Intermittent Fasting AND calorie restriction! Good bet I have every metabolic condition known to man kind.

Before I started keto I urinated very very often, thats why I wasn’t drinking much water and after drinking anything I am going to the toilet very often. After starting keto I noticed that I go less often I guess 😏 on the other hand I have never been very thirsty. But oh dear every time I felt sooo much graving for the desert after a meal, but now been without sugar one month. Sooo proud of myself and it’s also so easy with keto. I love keto food’s!! 🥰😍
And one more thing I noticed , I had a pain on my inside tight while walking and it’s gone. 😏
The inside tight one may need more investigation why may be from too much walk any friction will do
@@davidharcot220 thanks for your advice, but yes like said, it’s gone. I am in the office work and often I noticed that when to stand up and walk somewhere there is this weird pain witch makes me limp. Didn’t but much attention to that, but suddenly when I had started keto I just one day realized that oh, the pain is gone!
It was unexpected suprise.
I urinate a lot due to having one kidney
@@birgitk6518 sounds like sciatica ?
Happy it went away! ,)
It is so good to find you and the hosts of others discussing this. Soooo I'm 67 and at the age of 27 was denied Health insurance because I had a Triglycrides above 1000, but a blood sugar of 108 and no test ever for A1c. I have yo-yo'd in weight since then and could never control it. I found KETO in 2018 and had lost 45 pounds and kept it off for 3 years. But now i'm struggling with sugar cravings and weight gain again. This vid helped to reconnect with that issue. My most prevalent symptoms are the sugar cravings belly fat and the skin tags. No doctor yet has helped just KETO so far.
Keep up the good work!!!
👏👏
"... and addressing them with your doctor." LOL, that's really funny, because most doctors don't care if you have insulin resistance. Most doctors won't do a thing until you're pre-diabetic, and even then they don't really do anything.
😭😭
So true
I have to say, maybe I’m lucky, but my doctor seems receptive to conversation around this.
It is your body, take care of it.

I’m sure this is what’s wrong with me I went vegan 8 years ago and although I feel like it helped me I also think it hurt me..I believe now after years of health issues I’m insulin resistance..can someone explain clearly what low carb means? Also I see people saying keto helps so I’m truly considering doing keto or vegan keto..but fasting has helped me but I gained the weight back but it does help..thank you for your videos..why 🤷🏽♀️ don’t Doctors teach this..I’ve learned everything from the internet lol 😂 this is so crazy 🤦🏽♀️

My pleasure 😁
The information you’re providing is excellent, tells me that my primary dropped the ball for years when I complained about so many of the 15 symptoms you discussed.
It’s awkward to watch you, however.. you look (and sound) like you’re trying so hard to hold back laughter while discussing a serious topic.
I’ve had it basically my whole life and I’m 49. I’ve been paleo-keto for 20+ years and I had it under great control for a while while I was exercising a ton- something I started when I was 12 because I gained weight so easily. But I’ve been injured for 5.5 years and not exercising threw everything back out of balance . I’ve gained 35 lbs or more and I still eat paleo. I never have sweets in my house, but if I go stay with relatives or something and there are sweets everywhere I get very intense cravings. Just seeing pictures of sweets on social media can make me feel intense cravings. It’s so frustrating. I never craved anything when I was super fit.
I’m really lean but now I’m getting fat tummy an acne plus I started growing hair under my chin
😥😥
Thank you, now I know why I have persistent acne, swollen ankles etc
I thought we were talking about why. Not symptoms of insulin resistance
Well I'm a bad case of it. I have all 15 symptoms. Oh boy! What really helped me to lose some weight was starting the keto diet which I heard from a Dr that that is the best diet when diagnosed with PCOS. Think I have to start it again, but this time Mediterranean styled too. At least some things Mediterranean styled.

Ive had pcos for years! Even before being diabetic. My sugars are high but ive started to get my period a little more regularly despite being close to menopause.
This has nothing to do with this very informative video, but HCK looks better in braces than any other person I've ever seen. She's very cute. Thanks for sharing about IR.
I started low carb in January. My A1c was 6.3. 50 grams carbs is my max per day, but a lot of times less. I lost about 18 pounds. I started using a Dario blood glucose meter last week. After numerous tests, my blood sugar is below 100 in the morning when I got up. My highest blood sugar after eating was 125.
The meter says I have an estimated a1c of 5.4! How cool is that?
That is amazing! Great work!
What do you eat in a day? Thx
1. Extra sugar/glucose is processed by kidney. 2 What about Extra Insulin? How and which organs process excess or unused insulin?
My ankles for very swollen and in my back and I ended up feeling sick and found out liver blood work not right and kidneys and and my blood pressure was also high, so I started fasting alot and it all went away.
Kait's so pretty! I have to keep rewinding, because I lose track of what she's saying! 😄
Thank you God bless 🙏🙏 great video
Confounders: being me to can cause frequent urination and therefore increased thirst. Being an older man can cause prostate issues that can in tease urination. Some medications also can mimic these symptoms.
I have at least 8 of these. Had no clue they where connected. Even have seen a dr for these issues and was not told this. Thank you for the information
❤️❤️
Six of the symptoms I’ve been on keto for three months, no sugar, low carbs, but I still have a trouble losing weight but I’m 69 years old
I think this is what my husband has and I’m going to get if we don’t do something. I went vegan March 2018, because I absolutely started to hate eating/cooking meat. It was something I wanted to do for years before I did it and we dabbled with it before fully becoming vegan. What do you turn to when you go vegan? Carbs. Soy. Some plant-based meats. All things I love. I don’t know what to eat anymore. Ugh!
It seems that Keto is the way to go. No meat necessary.
@@jilllangman9343 have you ever tried that? Very difficult. Especially if you workout with weights like I do.
What about dark elbows??? At first my Dr thought it was my birth control causing it so i stopped taking it. Now they think its a early sign of insulin resistance. Have u ever heard of that??
I have all of the things you mentioned! I started taking Rybelsus for insulin resistance e and weight loss and my ankles are so much better hardly ever swollen
🙌🙌
I was diagnosed with insulin resistance last September and have lost over 80 pds. I had every system except for the acne. I wish I would have known about it sooner. I had such a sweet tooth with it. I always loved carbs but I didn't have much of an actual sweet tooth. I craved sugar and carbs all of the time. Metformin amd a huge diet change plus trulicity shot. Has changed my life.
I didn't know PCOS could be caused by insulin resistance. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2019 and I'm currently pregnant and was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and one of the questions the doctor asked me was if I had tested positive for insulin resistance before and I said no because no one has ever tested me
It's so frustrating that doctors don't test insulin! Check out my video on PCOS specifically where I explain how they are related ruclips.net/video/26_mLZbC23w/видео.html
All the best with your pregnancy 🥰
It isn't caused by insulin resistance. People with PCOS often have insulin resistance but it doesn't cause it. It's mostly genetic.
I am pretty sure I am, but have been eating high fat and low carb and exercising and killing it. Down 7 lbs and continuing to go. I
Sounds like you’re headed in the right direction!
Your a life saver
🤗🤗
Good video people should watch, and be honest with themselves about what may apply to them.
🙏🙏
That be honest part 😙😒....
i have all of them.. and yes, i've known I was Insulin resistant for 16 or so years at this point.. was diagnosed with PCOS and IR.. though I seriously think most of my doctors since then have ignored the IR portion of my dx ... just tell me to eat less and exercise more.. which we all know isn't actually helpful in this case as it doesn't actually address what is actually going on... I was actually losing weight when I first went on metformin and was making a lot of progress... and then I was in a car accident in 2007 which derailed everything and triggered some other issues and I've not been able to get things actually sorted since then and it was after that when they started ignoring my IR issues... (do have a new doc who is finally actually running tests and scans to figure out what is going on, so who knows... i do need to remind him about the IR though...) they do at least check my A1 regularly... (though that may be is because I have a HEAVY family history of diabetes on both sides....)
Sorry to hear about your accident but it sounds like you have a good doctor now to work with you! All the best 🙏
I am 73, have boo-coo energy, rarely tired, I have a big belly which I can't get rid of, I take a multitude of supplements for a long time. Ginger, dandelion, D3, turmeric, cranberry, V-C, garlic, magnesium, B-12. Main diet is greens, olive oil, olives, artichoke hearts, sea salt or Himalayan salt, pepper, sea food, lemon water daily. Exercise, still can't knock off the belly and have swollen ankles. HELP!
I love you! I needed your channel . I am struggling with insulin resistance and pcos. I have frequent urination, hormonal acne, skinny with a pouch, dark armpits slightly, irregular cycle, more hair on my upper lip than I would like. I have been struggling for YEARS. It’s all starting to make sense on what I need to change . I was vegan for a few years and ate only carbs, it messes me up . I’m back on eating proteins and will begin cleaning my diet more. I am excited and motivated to do so since I want to be the best version of myself. Can you help with loose skin videos ?
Extremely helpful Kait!
🥰🥰
Kaitlin great video as usual. Your very thorough. Learned a little late but amtrying hard to eat properly.
Never too late 🙏
Your videos are so informative 🙏
That's my goal 😁 Glad you find them helpful!
What I really need is how to lose weight I’ve been on Keto for 4 weeks now, and I’ve only lost 4 lbs, my husbands lost 14 lbs, and he’s not been very strict, I am also totally constipated since I started with so little fibre, I really don’t know what to do, taken all sorts of things but nothing works.
I saw a video about Dandelion roots helping regulate blood sugars. I'm not sure how accurate this is but worth researching
Its possible. As a bitter herb it helps support liver function
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since 1970. I can attest that if you get all your insulin by injection, insulin resistance is still possible, even likely. Now that I’m on essentially a carnivore diet, it’s not so bad, but on the high-carbohydrate diet still widely recommended for diabetics, it’s likely if not usual. Can’t get rid of my visceral fat though it’s gone down.
Youve been type 1 since 1970? Please contact me im interested in talking to you , ive been type 1 for 30 years
Same. I have insulin resistance and been t1 since 2000
My son (just turned 14) is T1 since age 3 and also struggles with weight. It went from him just being on the slightly chubby side to being overweight for his height when he went on insulin. He is at the age where he is suddenly self conscious about it, and while he is not huge (about 190 pounds and 5'11), he is much larger than his classmates. he eats the same diet as his brother (6'1 and 150 pounds) and sister (5'9 and 140 pounds) yet can so easily gain weight I have noticed. I wonder if he was born with my (insulin resistant, estrogen dominant) body type or if it's the insulin. He has always been tightly controlled (ie low A1C's but the requisite lots of insulin to attain it). I am thinking about trying full keto this summer on him, but was a little hesitant with DKA concerns, but since you do carnivore it clearly isn't an issue. Just thinking out loud!
I’ve a lot of symptoms 1 irregular periods 2 gain weight 3 back pain 4 fatty liver 5 stone of liver 6 foot pain 7 acne 8 hair fall
Thank you si much, answers answers answers is all I'm getting from watching you videos thank you
🤗🤗
What about being tired after eating?
Blurry vision and small eyesight problems too. Stress is one of the biggest factors I think.
