I would also look for other causes man, 10 grams of carbs is ultra low. Insulin receptor micronutrients, mitochondrial dysfunction, excessive blue light, adrenals etc. There are so many etiologies for hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Keep up the good work Dr!
Your wrong, there is no essential carb. Zero carbs is the best, that's the carnivore diet. Zero carbs. See Dr Anthony chaffee, the plant free MD on RUclips
Thank you dr berg…fasted 16-8 , did keto and drank acv at night for a month ..dropped TG by 70 pts from 144 lowered blood sugar by 17 points to 86 from 103..this really works
My bloodsugar is always extremely high in the morning. The lowest its been is 130. And I feel my worst in the morning. I will try some of these methods. Thank you so much ❤
My mom has the same situation, 100~150+ blood sugar every morning but after her breakfast and waiting for 2 to 3 hours her blood sugar drops below 100, I even got around 84 at one point. So I believe she her insulin resistance is not that bad but we are still trying to figure out how to lower her blood sugar in the morning to atleast below 100.
Same here, my sugar was around 250-350 all the time. Whether I ate or not. I've been talking insulin to drop it, but the doctors prescribed too low a dose so I have yet to see sugar blood under 100. The doctor said I shouldn't be intermittent fasting because my liver releases glucose when I'm in a fasted state, but my cells are too resistant to use the glucose.
Okay dawn phenomenon. This is true, yet I'd argue that this "insulin resistance" may just be peripheral not pathological. Also considering that glucose levels are naturally higher in the AM due to cortisol and thus glucagon secretion. The physiology become very conservative with glucose because of it's lack thereof. I've experienced dramatic rises and falls while entering keto and when coming off. Which is why this a gradual process (or should be). Thanks for the info.
Dr. Jason Fung addresses this phenomenon of attenuated beta cell function in people who are NOT type 1 diabetics. He asserts that probably the reason they have diminished beta cell function is due to the fact that fat has infiltrated the pancreas, essentially gumming up the proper functioning of beta cells. So, unlike type 1 diabetes, where the decline in insulin production from the pancreas is the result of actual beta cell death, in the case of people who are NOT type 1 diabetic, but still produce low levels of insulin, it could be a result of perfectly good beta cells which are having their functioning impaired by a blockade of fat. For such a problem, Dr. Fung, if I understood him correctly, recommends just doing longer fasts. So for such tough cases, simply doing a low carb diet and a common 16:8 or 23:1 fast may not be enough. You may have to introduce a multi-day fast, periodically, in order to truly remove the ectopic fat which is causing this obstruction at the beta cell level.
For some reason I believe the same theory goes for type 1 diabetic. Fat or blockage in the pancreas is the real reason of non functioning beta cell not t cell attacking the beta cell !!!!! What is funny for me that no one in the world is looking to a different possibilities that may caused the damage to beta cell or pancreas! They are not open to different studies or research. I am not a doctor and this is my own personal belief. Stay self and thank you for sharing this information.
You may want to look at a tedx talk on RUclips by UCLA-Peter Butler. New beta cells were found on autopsy of an 82 year old type 1 diabetic of 50- + years. I believe there is hope. Best wishes
@@melanieo8028 oh, you made me so happy by mentioning it, I greatly appreciate it. Definitely I will watch it. I am seeking for any hope or info every second of my life. It has been a very hard and so heart breaking year for me and my son since last year when he got diagnosed with TD1. Thanks a bunch for all your kindness. Stay safe and healthy.
@@shackinternational it is absolutely fine, no worries!!! I know most of the td1 are skinny but since we do not see the inside of pancreas and the area around it I am thinking either there should be blockage to the duck of pancreas ( like stones or something) or it might be surrounded with bad fats that they consume. We all know these days our foods are not 100% food!!! By saying fat I did not mean that they are overweight or fat but most of them tend to have a bigger stomach!!! Even insulin makes the stomach area get bigger too regardless if they are skinny or not. My son is skinny but has a bigger stomach from the day that he is on insulin compared before his diagnosis. Stay safe and healthy.
The words "insulin resistance" scare me. Trying to get back towards keto again knowing I've binged on all the wrong foods during winter. Thank you for your uploads, it's a great reminder to stay on track.
From what ive been seeing.. even when in ketosus.. when you sleep or interminted fast.. the body still needs energy to function and draws on your glucose reserves (if you have yet to lower your glucose levels).. so you get a spike.. which is helping to decrease your overall glucose levels gradually.
If you please, a doctor will make a table showing the needs of each person of vitamins and minerals, with an indication of the age, quantity, and daily dose. Thank you very much.
Yes. He's mentioned in another video that too much protein converts to insulin. That would have been a good point here, as well as mentioning, people "liver dump" (create and release sugar during the night) especially when they fast. Some more than others. For me, that leveled off after about 9 days on Keto. Between that and long walks, my fasting blood sugar is normal for the first time in a long time.
Kerry The Nosy Hausfrau There must be a misunderstanding here, Kerry. Higher insulin levels are always a consequence of blood sugar levels. What you mean is gluconeogenesis when eating too much protein which again raises blood sugar...
I have the same problem when eating protein. Too much protein will not only raise my blood sugar, but drops me out of ketosis (verified by a blood ketone meter). So with keto we can only eat a small amount of carbs and moderate amount of protein, so that only leaves fats. What food would that be? Every time I see a video about the keto diet being made up of mostly fats they mention eating avocados, butter, lard & heavy whipping cream. How do you survive on that to stay in ketosis and lose weight without being hungry all the time?
Dr. I’ve been on carnivore for 4 months and my glucose runs from 114 to 139 24/7. Was on Shake calorie deficit diet prior to carnivore. Dr checked my glucose and was 97. Now on carnivore four months it’s higher. This has left me confused, upset and desperate. Will your Berberine and beef pancreas supplement help with this if so how long do I take them? I’ve lost all the weight I need to and feel great. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for that. Into month 2 and the morning glucose is just over 100. Was in the 90s the first couple of weeks of keto. Hoping another month or two will help - don’t want the doc to freak out on me. Start throwing more pills at me.
I'm diabetic and I've done 3 back to back 7 day water fasts and my blood sugars are still too high. Without insulin I carnt get them down. With insulin I put to much weight on. Can not take supplements due to histamine intolerance and other food intolerances. Fasting was my last hope. Keto/ carnivore stopped working 18 months ago.
My glucose reading after 16 hour intermittent fasting was 94 and 20 hour fast was 97😇 Same way glucose reading after exercise also little high.. When one prolonged dry fasting it was 79..... Note: never followed keto diet...eats carbs and fruits.....avoids table sugar and soft drinks and sweets
You do realize that the reason why intermittent fasting works is because it lowers your insulin levels correct? Keto is just a way to eat that doesn't spike your insulin levels. If are not a high insulin producer thus insulin resistant, you will likely be able to see results from intermittent fasting alone. Intermittent fasting and keto are tools in the low insulin game.
@@ineedhoez my question is why 3 readings high in glucose level after prolonging the fast for 3 hour? It should be low as i am not eating or drinking calories..
Dr Berg please let me know what you think. I have tried to take milk thistle but I am very sensitive to it. The first time I tried it I made a weak one tea bag infusion to a quart of water and just took one half of a coffee cup at about 3PM and at 2AM the next morning I woke up and went to the bathroom vomited some green bile, had two bowel movements and was sweating for about 40 minutes, I guess a ton of toxins were coming out of my body. The next day I felt tired all day and I had to eat a small breakfast of beans on toast with butter before I could resume regular meals. Several years later just recently I tried again but this time I bought a bag of milk thistle seeds and I just put one seed in my raw vegetable salad for dinner at 4PM and it wasn't as bad as the half a cup of tea but I did have trouble sleeping that night and I felt like I was detoxing to an uncomfortable degree. Is this normal to be so sensitive, am I having a reaction, or do I need to just tough it out? And what is the next best substitute for milk thistle to support liver function? Thanks for your help!
I watched your interview with Ghaida. I don't know how to believe it. You are very kind, this girl exaggerates her words and her psychological state, not membership, but she only wanted to attract the attention of others
My theory on that is, that doing Keto makes the Liver get rid of the sugar while switching to fat, thus there could be extra sugar release into the body? My guess, not any fact.
This has been my experience. It took about three months for my body to empty out all of the storage sugar. My visceral fat decreased as well. After 3 month mark, my blood sugar is quite stable in the 70s all the time.
Dr berg I am sick to death of keto. I want to give up. Doesn’t seem to be working for me. Don’t feel better. I’m only 25 surely I don’t need to do keto yet. Il just do IF without keto.
If you have severe insulin resistance does it ever get better and if so does it take years? Will that person ever get normal readings if they follow all the advice faithfully.
"What gets measured, gets addressed." Is a business maxim that I use for success. Careful monitoring naturally leads to reaction to the measurement and correction of anomalies. In other words, if you find yourself in a health hole with a shovel in your hands, stop digging and throw the shovel away.
So damn true. I got my doctor to give me a continuous glucose monitor. If my blood sugar does something unexpected, I move to correct it immediately. I measure my insulin and body fat percentage own my own. I call it a data diet. I make date driven decisions and it is working.
I've been on keto for almost 2 years with a small break during the first trimester of my last pregnancy. I delivered in May 2020 and my gulcuse was is the 80s until the end of July 2020. Since I have been reading between 100 and 110 - all day. I am eat cleaner than ever and I literally weigh and log everything I eat and drink. I've been exercising 5 days a week and drinking about 125oz of water daily. I am at a total loss. What could be going on?
Always on time 👌🏾😎. I started checking levels after being told I’m Pre-Diabetic. My blood sugar level runs high in mornings 😯; I’m also a late snacker, although healthy snack it can attribute to this high number also. (Nuts). Thank you for this information Dr. Berg. I told my Cardiologist about you. 🥰😎.
It’s really best to avoid snacks altogether. Dr Berg talks about this in a number of videos. Have either 1, 2 or 3 regular meals per day but zero snacks.
Just started fasting. Trying 16-8. My number was 98 this morning waking up. Just check now at the end of my fast and it went up to 112. How? Only had green tea so far today? What’s going on?
Me too. My number before I start to fat is 92. I started to fast 2 months (20:4), just have result this morning, my glusco is up 109. Really suprise and dont know what to do. I don't have diabete.
in the morning, these hormones are high: 1) glucagon. 2) adrenaline and 3) cortisol. Don’t eat. The body is making fuel available to burn so there’re more blood glucose, triglycerides and fatty acids available. Don’t eat. Burn these fuel off. if u eat in the morning, u will completely stop burning endogenous fuel. Ya, I understand people only wants to burn exogenous fuel which is why they eat breakfast and snack all day long. I get that. it feels good to do that.
Where is the fasted circulating Glucose coming from on very low carb? I only had this condition when OMAD and carnivore, I do not have this condition when eating two or three meals a day. My fasting glucose went from 80/85 to a consistent 120 +-. Gluconeogenesis? If so why so? *It's not* insulin resistance in this case....
I don't even have any breakfast - (OMAD 1pm to 2pm everyday) accept a glass of lemon water & Apple cider vinegar, but my readings only in the mornings for glucose is around 110. So I can only drink black tea, plain green tea, plain matcha with a dash of cinnamon I'm okay. If I add anything like butter, lemon or apple cider vinegar - my blood sugar is 102+. This sucks, the afternoon readings are 70 to 90 which are perfect, it's only in the mornings where my glucose testing is crazy.
Great info! This berberine sounds amazing! My number one goal is healing my IR...gonna try this along with my Keto and IF. You're changing the world, Dr Berg! 😄❤
@@maciekminkiewicz2852Thank you but I did the plant based diet for over a year with no results. In five months of Healthy KETO and IF. I have lost 40 pounds, am off blood pressure and heart medications, no more hyperglycemia, planter faciitis is gone and my energy is thru the roof. I'm 59 years old and feel better than I have felt in 20 years...plus I'm never hungry and I don't crave crappy food. Have you tried Keto and IF? Give it a good 3 months!
I don’t like the idea of not having a medical person working with you when trying to figure dosages etc, your history etc. I wish medicine would come around to prevention rather than diagnosing disease once your sick. Seems useless to me to not include prevention. I no longer have trust in doctors but can’t afford to pay for private doctors that don’t take Medicare or supplemental insurance. It’s just crazy.
Day 5 of eating keto with IF and my glucose is slowly higher each day. Started in low 80’s. Then high 80’s. Then low 90’s and now high 90’ and 100’s. It is a bit unnerving to say the least. I am not diabetic and have never been diagnosed with insulin resistance. I don’t get why things are slowly rising. My net carbs have been less than 15 each day.
may be its the activity just make it simple .. normal activity try to walk about an hour a day may be you work on reducing and regulating the incoming fuel to your body but to balance all the situation you must use this fuel also make sure to have enough sleep lower stress
Keto with IF and sugars were down. Did 6 days of prolong fast. Was doing fine. After opening it the right way, i was in ketosis for 5 days, but ketonea levels decreased. Now, for the past 2 days, i have been dying because my morning glucose levels are in the 130s despite using low carb stuff. I did eat cooked carrots dessert, which was keto, which i feel could be the reason to kick me out of ketosis. Even though the portion was normal. I had 1/3 cup of lupin flour pakoras. And i started aderrall instead of methylphenidate for adhd. And i was bloated and constipated for these 2 days, i gained 1 lb. I am crying right now. Idk where things went wrong.
I’ve been in struck keto for 5 weeks. I’ve done keto for years on and off but I felt odd last night in a fasted state and my blood sugar was 112. I don’t know how I’m so insulin resistant when I’ve been in shape my whole life and I’m only 34. I’ve been keto off and on for the last 6 years. I take berberine, nattkinase, high dose fish oil, TMG, telmisartan and nebivolol for blood pressure. Could the medication cause this
Im on low carb diet I took 1000 mg metformin at night and blood sugar was still high. Im in tears right now. I do exercise and nothing. THE BEST THING TO DO IS WATER FASTING FOR 24 HOURS.
First 3 months of doing Keto, A1C went from 5.9 to 5.4---Great Last 9 months of doing Keto, A1C went from 5.4 to 5.9---WTF????????????? Glucose about the same over last year. Weight has remained the same over the last six months.
Check your fasting insulin levels. They're likely over 10. If your fasting insulin is more than 10 it is impossible for your body to burn fat. This is likely from too much protein consumption. Do a quick 48 to 72 hour fast, things will get moving again
@Doodle Doo Doo I actually got on the air with Dr. Berg on Friday and asked him about the lousy numbers. He said to try Berberine. He also said it could take a couple years to resolve insulin resistance. I probably eat a half pound of mixed nuts every day (almonds, pecans, walnuts, macadamia, and coconut flakes) Very low carb, but high in calories. My weight stays within a couple pounds, but excercise daily and watch everything I eat.
@Doodle Doo Doo Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can only read the top half of your post--the cursor won't go down the page any further and the comment stream in on the right side of the window. No idea how to expand this page to read the rest of the comments.
Just now finding this comment @garyr 2025. The same thing happened to me with the higher A1C. How are you doing now? Did your A1C lower after time? Thanks!
Interesting. I have high blood glucose in the morning even on less than 20g of total carbs a day. One thing I notice, which seems to be in line with this video, is even if I use some fast acting insulin to lower my glucose level, it takes a long time to take effect (about 1 hour). However, if I do any demanding exercise (makes me sweat), my blood glucose drops super fast. So I have to be very careful if I take fast acting insulin and plan to do exercise. Its like my energy demand is too low normally and my body simply does not need to use my blood glucose...Will try to do exercise first thing in the morning without insulin and see how my dawn phenomenon reacts...
@@vraptorx2253 i didnt do any real testing. But what seems to work best after 2 years is low carbs through real food (nothing processes, so mostly meat + veggies) and some daily fasting (skip breakfast and have lunch as late as possible). Insuline needs and reaction times are now very good. I barely need insuline most if the time. Thats what is working for me. But i am no doctor...
What number is considered high? I’ve been carnivore 2 years now and im currently doing a 3 day fast. Just tested and it’s 99. That seems a bit high to me for fasting.
Amazing video as always Dr. Berg. I think I'll be a doctor in some years from your knowledge and blessings. I want to ask 1 question - can wheat create respiratory problems? I used to cough brownish mucus often.
Hi there! I wanted to know what is optimal blood sugar level when on keto? I had 106 after eating and 76 empty stomach. Am I doing it the right way? Or should I worry about eating lesser fructose? Thanks and love your channel🙏
Starving myself fasting and eating zero carbs for months and my mean glucose is still 140. and my A1C is 7.1%. I am about ready to say f*** it and go back to enjoying life.
How screwed up were you to start with? Are you exercising? If it took you years/decades to create the problem, it might take months or even a couple years to get corrected and healed up. And if you were doing things correctly, you wouldn't feel like you were starving when you fast. When you are in ketosis, fasting is very easy because you don't have the same hunger drive.
@@Coach_JoseThanks for the tip! Fortunately, over the last 10 months I have lost 50 pounds and my blood glucose and my A1C are down to normal levels and my doctor no longer considers me diabetic nor pre-diabetic! All I did was reduced my carbs, not quite keto, but close, and have started pseudo 18:6 intermittent fasting. It mostly comes down to only eating when I am actually hungry. I used to eat whenever my wife did and when I was bored or when I smelled good food. Now I have learned what triggers my excess eating. I also incorporated a "cheat" day when I don't work so hard avoiding carbs.
Was your A1C higher before the 7.1? If so there is improvement. You may need to just do time restricted eating. Like ear before 3 pm and see . Or do longer fasts. 36 48 72 possibly
Update, it finally kicked in. I have now lost 70 pounds and my A1C is now normal. I don't remember the current number but my doctor is thrilled! Before the weight loss, my A1C actually went up to over 9. I started being more disciplined with 18/6 intermittent fasting and less than 50 carbs a day. No meds, no supplementary insulin, no Ozempic and no additional exercise.
@@YaSSeRy2k When you're on strict KETO for a longer period of time, your body becomes a master in dealing with fats, but lose his ability to properly deal with the sugars, and you wake up with higher blood sugars because during the night your liver is still making glucose by gluconeogenesis. I wish Dr.Berg will make a video on this subject.
Dr. Berg, thank you so much for your help to the world community. Your videos are pretty amazing and cover all the details, but I am facing something I could not find a video on this. Would you be so kind as to help me out? Is this normal? Still in adaptation phase? Here is my situation: I just finished my 1st fasting for 48 hours, I know the high blood sugar in the morning are common until my body re-adapt to the new fasting style. However, this morning finally my blood sugars readings drop to 67 ml/dl and keto in 0.4 mmol/L (5AM) when I got home around (1:30PM) it was 102, did not take a keto reading, as I know that would not working as the blood sugar are high. I have been doing fasting for about 4 weeks in a low run tests of 12/12s, 16/8s a few 24s, 2 36s and this was my first 48. Only last week I have started the keto diet. Last weekend I took a break and Saturday had a few beers and ate bread, after that I had a OMAD and 14h fasting before the below. More data for info: 13/5/2024 1PM - Blood sugar 119 2PM - Last meal: approx. 450g of chicken nibbles, 200g mushrooms with crème frappe, 300g broccoli and 90g cheese 3:30PM - 121 BS 9PM - 119 BS 14/05/2024 6AM - 133 BS 12PM - 120 BS 8PM - 97 BS 15/5/2024 5AM - 67 BS / 0.4 Keto / GKI 9.3 1:30PM - 102 BS 2PM - Lunch heavy green salad to raise magnesium and potassium (500g celery, lettuce, spinach) + 2 tomatoes, 2 types of cheese and DR Berg’s keto dressing salad 3PM - 109 BS
My fasting glucose was 107 but my fasting insulin was only 3.8. My triglycerides and hdl looked great....Does this look like a Beta cell problem? Thank you Dr, you changed my life

It's like Dr Berg had read my mind!

I am very grateful to you Dr Berg, this knowledge that you are sharing with us is totally priceless!
Hello DR Berg, I have a question, I can't seem to get a answer to, I'm a 59yr old male,,diabetic or non diabetic will taking a multivitamin raise your blood sugar levels?
What if my glucose goes down to 62 after fasting for 12 hours?? It's high in am at 120...then dips down to 62 after fasting for 12 hours...lost 80 pounds doing keto past 16 months...now blood sugars are wonky...help! Thank you!
A new article came out that having low blood glucose may lead to CVD? They said below 80mg/dl is bad and my avg is in the 70s due to IF. Hope you can check if this is accurae

She asked me repeatedly, and I told her repeatedly, it's because of the additives. She doesn't realize how much the CDC has been lying to the public as well as medical professionals.

That’s what you would expect if any carbs were eaten it’s going to move numbers up 20 points or less (unless you cheated). What’s weird is when you go to bed with 96 and wake up to 110 and it goes down all day back to nineties. Eat nothing late night except I had my apple cider vinegar to lower it.
Can you please do a video on the onion recall and why it happened? I couldn't find a video on what we should look for when buying vegetables like you did a video on what to look for when buying beef?
You say "high" but what is considered high? My sugar is around 110 in the morning and I thought it was high. But after reading some of the comments, it might not be.
I got my Berberine from Swanson's Herbs. It works amazingly well...Dr. Berg has another video on the other benefits of Berberine. I wasn't aware before how beneficial it is.
@@az.az466 I always do a search to see if there's any warnings associated with any herbs I use on myself, children and pets. Most are fine but always check.
Dr Berg thankyou so much for this video. This is what's happening to me . I have already started to take Berberine and Milk Thistle. I was very worried about my BSugar Thanks again.
I have a question... I know someone that is doing keto, but they drink alcohol every night, will that affect that persons health drinking every night despite doing keto still?
Yes and it's very dangerous. I have a continuous glucose monitor and I watch what happened to my blood sugar when I consumed alcohol. My blood sugar was quite stable normally, but when drinking alcohol, it literally just shoots up and down constantly. Pretty much every time I have a drink it shoots up and then goes down. That's not good for the body. Also, you can get drunk really fast if you're in ketosis and you consume alcohol. As a matter of fact, if you're in ketosis you could blow dirty On a breathalyzer. Be very careful with alcohol consumption
@@ineedhoez thank you for your advice!! This person I know thinks they are invincible just because they are doing keto..and they think they are ok with alcohol as long as they do keto. 🙄
I would also look for other causes man, 10 grams of carbs is ultra low. Insulin receptor micronutrients, mitochondrial dysfunction, excessive blue light, adrenals etc. There are so many etiologies for hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Keep up the good work Dr!

Mine too!
My mom has the same situation, 100~150+ blood sugar every morning but after her breakfast and waiting for 2 to 3 hours her blood sugar drops below 100, I even got around 84 at one point. So I believe she her insulin resistance is not that bad but we are still trying to figure out how to lower her blood sugar in the morning to atleast below 100.
Mine too, Its' so frustrating since I am doing the healthy keto and 18/6 IF...
Same here, my sugar was around 250-350 all the time. Whether I ate or not. I've been talking insulin to drop it, but the doctors prescribed too low a dose so I have yet to see sugar blood under 100. The doctor said I shouldn't be intermittent fasting because my liver releases glucose when I'm in a fasted state, but my cells are too resistant to use the glucose.
how did it go? @June Howard
Okay dawn phenomenon. This is true, yet I'd argue that this "insulin resistance" may just be peripheral not pathological. Also considering that glucose levels are naturally higher in the AM due to cortisol and thus glucagon secretion. The physiology become very conservative with glucose because of it's lack thereof. I've experienced dramatic rises and falls while entering keto and when coming off. Which is why this a gradual process (or should be). Thanks for the info.
Dr. Jason Fung addresses this phenomenon of attenuated beta cell function in people who are NOT type 1 diabetics. He asserts that probably the reason they have diminished beta cell function is due to the fact that fat has infiltrated the pancreas, essentially gumming up the proper functioning of beta cells. So, unlike type 1 diabetes, where the decline in insulin production from the pancreas is the result of actual beta cell death, in the case of people who are NOT type 1 diabetic, but still produce low levels of insulin, it could be a result of perfectly good beta cells which are having their functioning impaired by a blockade of fat. For such a problem, Dr. Fung, if I understood him correctly, recommends just doing longer fasts. So for such tough cases, simply doing a low carb diet and a common 16:8 or 23:1 fast may not be enough. You may have to introduce a multi-day fast, periodically, in order to truly remove the ectopic fat which is causing this obstruction at the beta cell level.
For some reason I believe the same theory goes for type 1 diabetic. Fat or blockage in the pancreas is the real reason of non functioning beta cell not t cell attacking the beta cell !!!!! What is funny for me that no one in the world is looking to a different possibilities that may caused the damage to beta cell or pancreas! They are not open to different studies or research.

You may want to look at a tedx talk on RUclips by UCLA-Peter Butler. New beta cells were found on autopsy of an 82 year old type 1 diabetic of 50- + years. I believe there is hope. Best wishes
@@melanieo8028 oh, you made me so happy by mentioning it, I greatly appreciate it. Definitely I will watch it. I am seeking for any hope or info every second of my life. It has been a very hard and so heart breaking year for me and my son since last year when he got diagnosed with TD1. Thanks a bunch for all your kindness. Stay safe and healthy.
@@shackinternational it is absolutely fine, no worries!!! I know most of the td1 are skinny but since we do not see the inside of pancreas and the area around it I am thinking either there should be blockage to the duck of pancreas ( like stones or something) or it might be surrounded with bad fats that they consume. We all know these days our foods are not 100% food!!! By saying fat I did not mean that they are overweight or fat but most of them tend to have a bigger stomach!!! Even insulin makes the stomach area get bigger too regardless if they are skinny or not. My son is skinny but has a bigger stomach from the day that he is on insulin compared before his diagnosis. Stay safe and healthy.
@@melanieo8028 Thank you for the information
The words "insulin resistance" scare me. Trying to get back towards keto again knowing I've binged on all the wrong foods during winter. Thank you for your uploads, it's a great reminder to stay on track.
This man has been changing people's lives for many years! 🎉❤
I love that u explain what's causing the problem AND how to resolve it. This makes so much sense! Thank u for all ur help!
From what ive been seeing.. even when in ketosus.. when you sleep or interminted fast.. the body still needs energy to function and draws on your glucose reserves (if you have yet to lower your glucose levels).. so you get a spike.. which is helping to decrease your overall glucose levels gradually.
If you please, a doctor will make a table showing the needs of each person of vitamins and minerals, with an indication of the age, quantity, and daily dose. Thank you very much.
How about eating excess protein? When I used to eat more than 6 ounces of protein my sugar was high in the morning.
Yes. He's mentioned in another video that too much protein converts to insulin. That would have been a good point here, as well as mentioning, people "liver dump" (create and release sugar during the night) especially when they fast. Some more than others. For me, that leveled off after about 9 days on Keto. Between that and long walks, my fasting blood sugar is normal for the first time in a long time.
Kerry The Nosy Hausfrau
There must be a misunderstanding here, Kerry.
Higher insulin levels are always a consequence of blood sugar levels. What you mean is gluconeogenesis when eating too much protein which again raises blood sugar...
This is a strong possibility!
My blood sugar is normally in the 70s. I had excess protein yesterday and it was in the mid 80s all day today. Only 10g of carbs all day too. Crazy.
I have the same problem when eating protein. Too much protein will not only raise my blood sugar, but drops me out of ketosis (verified by a blood ketone meter). So with keto we can only eat a small amount of carbs and moderate amount of protein, so that only leaves fats. What food would that be? Every time I see a video about the keto diet being made up of mostly fats they mention eating avocados, butter, lard & heavy whipping cream. How do you survive on that to stay in ketosis and lose weight without being hungry all the time?
On the occasion of the blessed Eid Al-Adha for Muslims, we hope that you make a video about eating lamb meat a lot in a short time. Thank you.
Yesss many complained about high blood pressure afterwards 😂😂
My blood glucose levels are pretty much always low with Healthy Keto 🙂 THANK YOU, DR. BERG! YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST, SIR! 💯
Dr. I’ve been on carnivore for 4 months and my glucose runs from 114 to 139 24/7. Was on Shake calorie deficit diet prior to carnivore. Dr checked my glucose and was 97. Now on carnivore four months it’s higher. This has left me confused, upset and desperate. Will your Berberine and beef pancreas supplement help with this if so how long do I take them? I’ve lost all the weight I need to and feel great. Thanks for all you do.
It took a while but it finally went down. I did some 72 hours fasts and OMAD. It took about 2-3 months for me.
Thanks for that. Into month 2 and the morning glucose is just over 100. Was in the 90s the first couple of weeks of keto. Hoping another month or two will help - don’t want the doc to freak out on me. Start throwing more pills at me.
I'm diabetic and I've done 3 back to back 7 day water fasts and my blood sugars are still too high. Without insulin I carnt get them down. With insulin I put to much weight on. Can not take supplements due to histamine intolerance and other food intolerances. Fasting was my last hope. Keto/ carnivore stopped working 18 months ago.
How are you?
Hey. I can feel you 😢 did you find any solution for this situation? I am really struggling
I tried Berberine but it makes me nauseous, with food, without food, anyway I take it I fell bad and nauseous. 😔
My glucose reading after 16 hour intermittent fasting was 94 and 20 hour fast was 97😇
Same way glucose reading after exercise also little high..
When one prolonged dry fasting it was 79.....
Note: never followed keto diet...eats carbs and fruits.....avoids table sugar and soft drinks and sweets
You do realize that the reason why intermittent fasting works is because it lowers your insulin levels correct? Keto is just a way to eat that doesn't spike your insulin levels. If are not a high insulin producer thus insulin resistant, you will likely be able to see results from intermittent fasting alone.
Intermittent fasting and keto are tools in the low insulin game.
@@ineedhoez my question is why 3 readings high in glucose level after prolonging the fast for 3 hour?
It should be low as i am not eating or drinking calories..
Dr Berg please let me know what you think. I have tried to take milk thistle but I am very sensitive to it. The first time I tried it I made a weak one tea bag infusion to a quart of water and just took one half of a coffee cup at about 3PM and at 2AM the next morning I woke up and went to the bathroom vomited some green bile, had two bowel movements and was sweating for about 40 minutes, I guess a ton of toxins were coming out of my body. The next day I felt tired all day and I had to eat a small breakfast of beans on toast with butter before I could resume regular meals. Several years later just recently I tried again but this time I bought a bag of milk thistle seeds and I just put one seed in my raw vegetable salad for dinner at 4PM and it wasn't as bad as the half a cup of tea but I did have trouble sleeping that night and I felt like I was detoxing to an uncomfortable degree. Is this normal to be so sensitive, am I having a reaction, or do I need to just tough it out? And what is the next best substitute for milk thistle to support liver function? Thanks for your help!
I watched your interview with Ghaida. I don't know how to believe it. You are very kind, this girl exaggerates her words and her psychological state, not membership, but she only wanted to attract the attention of others
My theory on that is, that doing Keto makes the Liver get rid of the sugar while switching to fat, thus there could be extra sugar release into the body? My guess, not any fact.
This has been my experience. It took about three months for my body to empty out all of the storage sugar. My visceral fat decreased as well. After 3 month mark, my blood sugar is quite stable in the 70s all the time.
I just ordered your lemon wheatgrass juice powder to help me with vitamins and minerals !!!!! 😊
Dr berg I am sick to death of keto. I want to give up. Doesn’t seem to be working for me. Don’t feel better. I’m only 25 surely I don’t need to do keto yet. Il just do IF without keto.
Fabulous as always! Our bodies don’t go into the “carb emergency” like they do when we consume in the morning!
If you have severe insulin resistance does it ever get better and if so does it take years? Will that person ever get normal readings if they follow all the advice faithfully.
What a coincidence. Was just wondering about my morning sugars and there you have the video. Doc. do you actually listen to prayers. Thank you so much
FINALLY~!!! SOMEONE HERD ME~!
where do you want to go????????
I must watch your videos every day .. keep them flowing Dr Berg.
I do appreciate your support!
"What gets measured, gets addressed." Is a business maxim that I use for success. Careful monitoring naturally leads to reaction to the measurement and correction of anomalies. In other words, if you find yourself in a health hole with a shovel in your hands, stop digging and throw the shovel away.
So damn true. I got my doctor to give me a continuous glucose monitor. If my blood sugar does something unexpected, I move to correct it immediately. I measure my insulin and body fat percentage own my own. I call it a data diet. I make date driven decisions and it is working.
I've been on keto for almost 2 years with a small break during the first trimester of my last pregnancy. I delivered in May 2020 and my gulcuse was is the 80s until the end of July 2020. Since I have been reading between 100 and 110 - all day. I am eat cleaner than ever and I literally weigh and log everything I eat and drink. I've been exercising 5 days a week and drinking about 125oz of water daily. I am at a total loss. What could be going on?
Me too but I am 120-130. Have you figured it out?
This is the answer to the question I posted in one of your very early videos. I posted a few minutes ago to it and than ran across this one.
Always on time 👌🏾😎. I started checking levels after being told I’m Pre-Diabetic. My blood sugar level runs high in mornings 😯; I’m also a late snacker, although healthy snack it can attribute to this high number also. (Nuts). Thank you for this information Dr. Berg. I told my Cardiologist about you. 🥰😎.
It’s down to 102 this morning 👏🏾👏🏾
It’s really best to avoid snacks altogether. Dr Berg talks about this in a number of videos. Have either 1, 2 or 3 regular meals per day but zero snacks.
Just started fasting. Trying 16-8. My number was 98 this morning waking up. Just check now at the end of my fast and it went up to 112. How? Only had green tea so far today? What’s going on?
Me too. My number before I start to fat is 92. I started to fast 2 months (20:4), just have result this morning, my glusco is up 109. Really suprise and dont know what to do. I don't have diabete.
I had a keto bar, crackers and some hummus. Also some berries and my level was just 86 at 9pm.
@aivexuviet11 did u find solution or cause?
Google the dawn phenomenon...@@sabahatiftikhar9547
What constitutes "high"? 100 mg/dl, 115mg/dl, 126mg/dl?
in the morning, these hormones are high: 1) glucagon. 2) adrenaline and 3) cortisol. Don’t eat. The body is making fuel available to burn so there’re more blood glucose, triglycerides and fatty acids available. Don’t eat. Burn these fuel off. if u eat in the morning, u will completely stop burning endogenous fuel. Ya, I understand people only wants to burn exogenous fuel which is why they eat breakfast and snack all day long. I get that. it feels good to do that.
WHEN is best time to take milk thistle??
Where is the fasted circulating Glucose coming from on very low carb? I only had this condition when OMAD and carnivore, I do not have this condition when eating two or three meals a day. My fasting glucose went from 80/85 to a consistent 120 +-. Gluconeogenesis? If so why so?
*It's not* insulin resistance in this case....
I'd like to know tge answer too
Your liver makes glucose if it feels you need it.
@@SP-mc5gf Gluconeogenesis. I mentioned this and that is not an answer!
same here....my fasting glucose was much lower pre keto. I am not sleeping that well, so think "liver is up all night"!!
I don't even have any breakfast - (OMAD 1pm to 2pm everyday) accept a glass of lemon water & Apple cider vinegar, but my readings only in the mornings for glucose is around 110. So I can only drink black tea, plain green tea, plain matcha with a dash of cinnamon I'm okay. If I add anything like butter, lemon or apple cider vinegar - my blood sugar is 102+. This sucks, the afternoon readings are 70 to 90 which are perfect, it's only in the mornings where my glucose testing is crazy.
Great info! This berberine sounds amazing! My number one goal is healing my IR...gonna try this along with my Keto and IF. You're changing the world, Dr Berg! 😄❤
I really would look into WFPBD if I were you. Take care!
@@maciekminkiewicz2852 ummm...what is WFPBD?🤷♀️😁
@freddy thx! 🙂
@@maciekminkiewicz2852Thank you but I did the plant based diet for over a year with no results. In five months of Healthy KETO and IF. I have lost 40 pounds, am off blood pressure and heart medications, no more hyperglycemia, planter faciitis is gone and my energy is thru the roof. I'm 59 years old and feel better than I have felt in 20 years...plus I'm never hungry and I don't crave crappy food. Have you tried Keto and IF? Give it a good 3 months!
@freddy Totally agree...oh my gosh...I was miserable on plant based!! I'm Keto and IF for life!
I don’t like the idea of not having a medical person working with you when trying to figure dosages etc, your history etc. I wish medicine would come around to prevention rather than diagnosing disease once your sick. Seems useless to me to not include prevention. I no longer have trust in doctors but can’t afford to pay for private doctors that don’t take Medicare or supplemental insurance. It’s just crazy.
Day 5 of eating keto with IF and my glucose is slowly higher each day. Started in low 80’s. Then high 80’s. Then low 90’s and now high 90’ and 100’s. It is a bit unnerving to say the least. I am not diabetic and have never been diagnosed with insulin resistance. I don’t get why things are slowly rising. My net carbs have been less than 15 each day.
what did you find out, please share? was it side food? did it worked?
I have the same problem as you have recently. Have you worked out the reason? Please share with me. Thanks
may be its the activity
just make it simple .. normal activity
try to walk about an hour a day
may be you work on reducing and regulating the incoming fuel to your body but to balance all the situation
you must use this fuel
also make sure to
have enough sleep
lower stress
same. My guess is that we were pre-diabetic from some research
What a horrible explanation, Dr. Berg. I’m used to better from you. My blood sugar was fine prior to keto and intermittent fasting.
Keto with IF and sugars were down. Did 6 days of prolong fast. Was doing fine. After opening it the right way, i was in ketosis for 5 days, but ketonea levels decreased. Now, for the past 2 days, i have been dying because my morning glucose levels are in the 130s despite using low carb stuff. I did eat cooked carrots dessert, which was keto, which i feel could be the reason to kick me out of ketosis. Even though the portion was normal. I had 1/3 cup of lupin flour pakoras. And i started aderrall instead of methylphenidate for adhd. And i was bloated and constipated for these 2 days, i gained 1 lb. I am crying right now. Idk where things went wrong.
I’ve been in struck keto for 5 weeks. I’ve done keto for years on and off but I felt odd last night in a fasted state and my blood sugar was 112. I don’t know how I’m so insulin resistant when I’ve been in shape my whole life and I’m only 34. I’ve been keto off and on for the last 6 years. I take berberine, nattkinase, high dose fish oil, TMG, telmisartan and nebivolol for blood pressure. Could the medication cause this
Thank God for Dr. Berg 🙏
Video suggestion-night terrors in kids. What's actually causing them and how to stop them from happening.
I had night terrors when I was a kid. Since being Buddhist for a long time, I found that spirit inteference can cause them.
B1 vitamin
How the heck do you eat less than 10g of carbs a day!? What could/would you even be able to eat??
Im on low carb diet I took 1000 mg metformin at night and blood sugar was still high. Im in tears right now. I do exercise and nothing. THE BEST THING TO DO IS WATER FASTING FOR 24 HOURS.
Or gluconeogenises right? Or during the emptying of the liver of triglycerides because it has a glucose molecule for every three fatty acids?
First 3 months of doing Keto, A1C went from 5.9 to 5.4---Great
Last 9 months of doing Keto, A1C went from 5.4 to 5.9---WTF?????????????
Glucose about the same over last year.
Weight has remained the same over the last six months.
I would really look into WFPBD if I were you. You won’t regret it.
Check your fasting insulin levels. They're likely over 10. If your fasting insulin is more than 10 it is impossible for your body to burn fat. This is likely from too much protein consumption. Do a quick 48 to 72 hour fast, things will get moving again
@Doodle Doo Doo I actually got on the air with Dr. Berg on Friday and asked him about the lousy numbers. He said to try Berberine. He also said it could take a couple years to resolve insulin resistance.
I probably eat a half pound of mixed nuts every day (almonds, pecans, walnuts, macadamia, and coconut flakes) Very low carb, but high in calories. My weight stays within a couple pounds, but excercise daily and watch everything I eat.
@Doodle Doo Doo Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can only read the top half of your post--the cursor won't go down the page any further and the comment stream in on the right side of the window.
No idea how to expand this page to read the rest of the comments.
Just now finding this comment @garyr 2025. The same thing happened to me with the higher A1C. How are you doing now? Did your A1C lower after time? Thanks!
Interesting. I have high blood glucose in the morning even on less than 20g of total carbs a day. One thing I notice, which seems to be in line with this video, is even if I use some fast acting insulin to lower my glucose level, it takes a long time to take effect (about 1 hour). However, if I do any demanding exercise (makes me sweat), my blood glucose drops super fast. So I have to be very careful if I take fast acting insulin and plan to do exercise. Its like my energy demand is too low normally and my body simply does not need to use my blood glucose...Will try to do exercise first thing in the morning without insulin and see how my dawn phenomenon reacts...
Can you share if you found anything useful in two years after you found this out
@@vraptorx2253 i didnt do any real testing. But what seems to work best after 2 years is low carbs through real food (nothing processes, so mostly meat + veggies) and some daily fasting (skip breakfast and have lunch as late as possible). Insuline needs and reaction times are now very good. I barely need insuline most if the time. Thats what is working for me. But i am no doctor...
@@sinmaan7568 God bless you thanks for replying
What kind of turn around can you see, in a time line?
What number is considered high? I’ve been carnivore 2 years now and im currently doing a 3 day fast. Just tested and it’s 99. That seems a bit high to me for fasting.
Amazing video as always Dr. Berg. I think I'll be a doctor in some years from your knowledge and blessings. I want to ask 1 question - can wheat create respiratory problems? I used to cough brownish mucus often.
Perfect timing! You are reading my mind! Thank you so much!!
Hi there! I wanted to know what is optimal blood sugar level when on keto? I had 106 after eating and 76 empty stomach. Am I doing it the right way? Or should I worry about eating lesser fructose? Thanks and love your channel🙏
Here's a video that my help --> ruclips.net/video/KEUJuirSrJg/видео.html
Starving myself fasting and eating zero carbs for months and my mean glucose is still 140. and my A1C is 7.1%. I am about ready to say f*** it and go back to enjoying life.
How screwed up were you to start with? Are you exercising? If it took you years/decades to create the problem, it might take months or even a couple years to get corrected and healed up. And if you were doing things correctly, you wouldn't feel like you were starving when you fast. When you are in ketosis, fasting is very easy because you don't have the same hunger drive.
Lower the fats they can also cause insulin resistance not just excessive carbs.
@@Coach_JoseThanks for the tip! Fortunately, over the last 10 months I have lost 50 pounds and my blood glucose and my A1C are down to normal levels and my doctor no longer considers me diabetic nor pre-diabetic! All I did was reduced my carbs, not quite keto, but close, and have started pseudo 18:6 intermittent fasting. It mostly comes down to only eating when I am actually hungry. I used to eat whenever my wife did and when I was bored or when I smelled good food. Now I have learned what triggers my excess eating. I also incorporated a "cheat" day when I don't work so hard avoiding carbs.
Was your A1C higher before the 7.1? If so there is improvement. You may need to just do time restricted eating. Like ear before 3 pm and see . Or do longer fasts. 36 48 72 possibly
Update, it finally kicked in. I have now lost 70 pounds and my A1C is now normal. I don't remember the current number but my doctor is thrilled! Before the weight loss, my A1C actually went up to over 9. I started being more disciplined with 18/6 intermittent fasting and less than 50 carbs a day. No meds, no supplementary insulin, no Ozempic and no additional exercise.
Thank you for these precious informations
I have this problem and I am frustrated...
If your sugar levels improve, how long do you continue taking Beef pancreas? Does it just become part of your supplement regime forever?
How many bills do I take all three of them at the same time?
If you're on KETO for some time, it could be also Adaptive Glucose Sparing or (less probably)Type 1.5 Diabetes.
What do you mean by that?
@@YaSSeRy2k When you're on strict KETO for a longer period of time, your body becomes a master in dealing with fats, but lose his ability to properly deal with the sugars, and you wake up with higher blood sugars because during the night your liver is still making glucose by gluconeogenesis. I wish Dr.Berg will make a video on this subject.
Keto does not make you diabetic
You sugar has to be high for a long time without going down.
Doctot what diet and timings of feeding can you advice for gestational diabetes?
Dr. Berg has over 4000 videos. I usually type in Dr. Berg and topics I'm interested in. Hope this helps

Is this normal? Still in adaptation phase?
Here is my situation:
I just finished my 1st fasting for 48 hours, I know the high blood sugar in the morning are common until my body re-adapt to the new fasting style. However, this morning finally my blood sugars readings drop to 67 ml/dl and keto in 0.4 mmol/L (5AM) when I got home around (1:30PM) it was 102, did not take a keto reading, as I know that would not working as the blood sugar are high.
I have been doing fasting for about 4 weeks in a low run tests of 12/12s, 16/8s a few 24s, 2 36s and this was my first 48. Only last week I have started the keto diet. Last weekend I took a break and Saturday had a few beers and ate bread, after that I had a OMAD and 14h fasting before the below.

Hello DR Berg, I have a question, I can't seem to get a answer to, I'm a 59yr old male,,diabetic or non diabetic will taking a multivitamin raise your blood sugar levels?
And Dr. Sten Ekberg explains why it's totally normal and nothing to worry about
So can all those meds be taken concurrently then? Or do you have to choose one or the other?
What about physiological insulin resistance? What are your thoughts on that?

@@mangog8277
I agree with you, Nani. Last year, at my place of work, we were offered free flu shot. I turned it down. I was one of a few people who did. My doctor tried to convince me to get one. I said no. In the meantime, anytime the government offers something free, it's deadly. What's really difficult for me is my mother, a retired nurse, can't understand why I would refuse. She asked me repeatedly, and I told her repeatedly, it's because of the additives. She doesn't realize how much the CDC has been lying to the public as well as medical professionals. They don't know enough to question everything.
Also, I have learned that every flu shot is a kickback for doctors. It could be the reason why your md gets mad at you. But what do I know? I'm just an undereducated mental midget, right? 😉😁 I only have a bachelor's degree and a master's.
Stay well, Nani! I will be thinking about and praying for you. Jesus loves you! 😊🙏💞
@@kathierouse5306 Thankyou so much for keeping me in your prayers you don't know how much I need this right now. You are a very intelligent person. Yes the doctors do get kickbacks for every drug and vaccine that they recommend for you. My niece told us this because she worked for the pharmacuetical companies.
My blood sugar is higher in the evening on low carb diet and intermittent fasting. In the morning is around 100
That’s what you would expect if any carbs were eaten it’s going to move numbers up 20 points or less (unless you cheated). What’s weird is when you go to bed with 96 and wake up to 110 and it goes down all day back to nineties. Eat nothing late night except I had my apple cider vinegar to lower it.
At 9pm my sugar is 86. And in the mornings it's around 70 something and still in the 80s
Can you please do a video on the onion recall and why it happened? I couldn't find a video on what we should look for when buying vegetables like you did a video on what to look for when buying beef?
Ok, one days that high sugar levels in the morning is perfectly natural, the "dawn effect", and you're saying it's a problem.
Great video!
I looked into berberine, oh boys there are so many. Help please which brand
You say "high" but what is considered high? My sugar is around 110 in the morning and I thought it was high. But after reading some of the comments, it might not be.
I got my Berberine from Swanson's Herbs. It works amazingly well...Dr. Berg has another video on the other benefits of Berberine. I wasn't aware before how beneficial it is.
I watched that video, too. I had never heard of Berberine prior to that. I’m going to have to check into it.
Is it safe for kids with TD1. Thank u
@@az.az466 I always do a search to see if there's any warnings associated with any herbs I use on myself, children and pets. Most are fine but always check.
@@ceilconstante7813 Thank you so much!
Dr Berg thankyou so much for this video. This is what's happening to me . I have already started to take Berberine and Milk Thistle. I was very worried about my BSugar Thanks again.
I have a question... I know someone that is doing keto, but they drink alcohol every night, will that affect that persons health drinking every night despite doing keto still?
Yes and it's very dangerous. I have a continuous glucose monitor and I watch what happened to my blood sugar when I consumed alcohol. My blood sugar was quite stable normally, but when drinking alcohol, it literally just shoots up and down constantly. Pretty much every time I have a drink it shoots up and then goes down. That's not good for the body. Also, you can get drunk really fast if you're in ketosis and you consume alcohol. As a matter of fact, if you're in ketosis you could blow dirty On a breathalyzer. Be very careful with alcohol consumption
@@ineedhoez thank you for your advice!! This person I know thinks they are invincible just because they are doing keto..and they think they are ok with alcohol as long as they do keto. 🙄
