In this video, we're going to talk about blood sugar and what's normal for a blood sugar level.
What is a normal blood sugar level?
• 80-100 mg/dL (could be less if you don't consume sugar)
This is the ratio of how much sugar you have in your blood.
The average American consumes 31 teaspoons of sugar every day, which is 130-145 pounds of sugar per year. This is why most of the population is becoming prediabetic or diabetic.
Symptoms of prediabetes:
• You get tired after you eat
• You crave sweets
• You're not satisfied after you eat
• You can't go many hours without eating, and then when you eat you feel better
You don't need a lot of glucose (sugar) in your diet to have normal blood sugars. I believe you shouldn't be consuming any sugar at all. If you don't consume sugar, you could clear up so many different health problems.

Hi Dr. Berg..I used to have 105-110 sugar levels constantly. Two months into keto and blood sugar levels are at 88 after 1 hour of eating. Guess at fasting will be way lower. I'm asthmatic, COPD and chronic sinus. Cut sugars, carbs and bread next to cero and started gym thanks to you. With the Lord's help and following your advices will become asthma, COPD and allergy-free soon.
Just an fyi, on a very low/zero-carb diet the fasting glucose is often the highest of the day. Don't be surprised if you find your fasting levels back in that 105-110 range as a normal... and your after eating-glucose dipping a bit... Dr. Ekberg has a video about this.
Keep us updated. Thank you, and good luck.
Interesting thank you.
I just looked at this video after 7 years and I'm grateful..30 years from now people will see this and feel the same
Dr.Berg is my guy .I hate how Dr.oz tried to play him ..Oz is a guy who can be bought or sold .Dr.Berg is priceless ..I love Dr Berg
Yes Oz👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Berg is not an MD Oz is! 🤫
I’m 65 was 200 pounds I started One meal a day and cut out all carbs or sugars my blood sugar was 160 after three months and going to the gym six days a week it’s down to 79, and I do not suffer from any more arthritis due to inflammation from Sugar
That’s amazing
Thanks Dr Berg! Why can’t Main stream medical doctors teach and educate like you do? Now that I have been following your advice, I’m healthy again. I feel like I have a new life! Thanks again. Love all your videos and your humor 🤣 and please keep them coming.
Best regards
I've just brought my A1C down in 5 months from 16.2 to 6.5
I'm on a mission! 💪😷
That is amazing
@@itsagoodday2165 Thanks! now my A1C is 5.8. I'm proud of myself. I'm still fat though lol. my goal is to reach 200 lbs by my bday 02/22. No problem.
@@SOUTHEASTLA562 In a nutshell... how did you do it?
@@blsbash i changed my life. no sugar, fast food, breads and carbs. water is the only thing i drink. you can do it! god bless.
@@SOUTHEASTLA562 👍👍👍👍👍great
Glad to hear 70 is ok! I had high blood sugar 229-250 ..in 2 months cutting back carbs and trying to eliminate sugar to just 1g in items. My Dr had me monitor my blood sugar..they are now anywhere between 70-103 fasting blood sugar..thank you for sharing knowledge!
How are you doing now?
@@dingdong6005 Doing great thanks for asking blood sugar avg 103 . Still watching my carb intake and found several no sugar items made with monk fruit or Stevia that satisfy my sweet cravings.
I'm a former pre-diabetic. I went Keto (initially Atkins) about 3.5 years ago when my doctor told me to be prepared to start taking diabetic medication (Metformin). Now I'm no longer pre-diabetic with stable blood glucose.
Simply changing your diet is the best way to avoid or control diabetes. It's criminal that doctors don't change their patient's diets, instead telling them to eat whole grain, low fat garbage and prescribing them drugs to control their blood glucose.
It is criminal to not tell patients about keto diets, but a lot of doctors are still in the fog about what is best for their patients. I wish more knew about the fat myths and how helpful ketosis is for our bodies instead. Congrats to your 3.5 years. I have been just over 3 months eating keto and already down 30 pounds. It is such a transformation in life.
u8sumthinbad Pls..what is keto?
Was sent to a diabetic specialist was told every thing under the sun on how TOO and what meds to take to control blood glucose the whole time I was there she never said any thing about losing weight a special diet like keto I was looking for this info to be mentioned I was geting upset nothing was said that's why I'm looking on you tube for info from people in the same boat
Smith Borisdh 8
true! it's all in the diet.. everybody should know the truth...
Today is day 4 without sugar. I carefully track all sources, including ingredients in sources. I feel good. Low stress and plenty of sleep, so that helps me in my particular situation to cope. I didn't eat a lot to begin with, except for some binges. I will satisfy hunger with foods other than sugar.
Joe Smith do you eat fruits?
When we say sugar some will understand "table sugar" but there actually is more to it than just the white thing we have on our table. Bread breaks into sugar inside your body, same with banamas, apples, pineapples, rice, noodles, etc
that means we can not escape from SUGAR
Look at the labels on the back of everything u buy, and go for the lowest sugar things
Tested my glucose level today and it was 91! Makes me feel like I'm reaching my goals! Thanks to you Dr Berg and God bless.
Implemented a lot of your advice and teachings. Have lost 45lbs of fat and gained 5-7lbs of muscle. Feel better than I have since left marines 10 years ago.
How are you doing now?
This has never been explained to me in a way that I actually understood. Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks Dr Berg you have made such an impact in my life your videos are so easy to understand that I am consumed by them because they are very informative and I have reduced my A1C results from 8.6 to 6.7 type 2 diabetic I am and without meds just walking 10,000 steps 5 days a week and took sugar out from my diet and lost 10lbs in 4 weeks and just started intermittent fasting to 2 meals a day.
Thanks so much Suki Sidhu Tor Can🇨🇦
The normal rate for most people to lose weight is 10 lbs a month. I havent been diag. at type 2 yet but am right there. So for the past month -5 weeks have lost 10-12 lbs., doing intermittent fasting , taking daily 2 mile walks eating healthy or low carb. Not where I want to be yet for blood glucose , but getting better.
I been intermittent fasting and just got my a1c results back from 6.9 to 6.0 dropped 22lbs my doctor was so happy he told me I could have extra turkey for thanksgiving
Did you tell him not to prescribe insulin or tabs to any type 2 patients?
Hi datno, Please tell me the kind of foods you eat on your fasting days and not-fasting days. I have just learned about this and want to do it but not sure what to eat. Thanks and congratulations. I hope things are still going well for you.
yes. this depends on life style. i had nearly one year sleep disorder because staying in poor housing and mosquitoes bites though i was using mosquito net. i drunk cola in liters and liters few months back continuously. then accidentally it happened to check my blood sugar level ...then i found it was above normal. doctor suggeted me to drink ayurvedic medicine made off turmarick as main ingredient in that. i started eating low carb millets in the place of rice and wallnuts...garlik....surprisingly sugar level came to normal stage. in the initial stage if its type two...u can reverse it by replacing rice or wheat with millets. eat wallnuts..egs..red grape..cinnomon..garlick....turmarick here and there and more exercise like swimming...climving steps...more sleep....enough to control and reverse. hats off to these videos. great job. think rationally ...live happily. God bless
Garlic
What millets u r taking?
All types ..eg foxtail millet etc ..there are many varieties
Have you tried Gau mutra? I drink 2 teaspoons with turmeric. Try Patanjali Gau mutra. No smell and taste is ok
Mosquitoes? In the house? By a spray
.
Dropped my fasting from 111 to 97. Next target is 90 ❤️🔥. Vegetarian IF diet with yoga 🧘♂️
Edit : now my fasting is 78 and hba1c was 5.2 ...... immensely thankful to Dr berg 🔥🙏
Low carb only. You can eat white meat .
122 down to 97 , my hba1c 4.7 now
How much carb are you consuming? And congratulations for the results of your hard work
@@roadguide123 I dont have a count .. but it is moderate.. mainly no sugar
How you doing now ?? Mine is at like 90 -99 on fasting and I am scared ..
@@dingdong6005 morning sugar tends to be high always ... check around 12 noon in fasted state
I was on metformin & levemir (insulin) and my levers we’re still high. I would wake up to 180. I went keto about 6 weeks ago and lost 28 lbs. I stopped giving myself the shot and work out almost daily. I cut out all sugars and now I wake up to 130 before my metformin and it goes down to about 110. My a1c went from 7.5 to 6.2. All my dr had to say was “you need blood pressure and cholesterol pills!”
great job! inspiring.
My doctor said the same thing. U need cholesterol pills. I plan to not take them. Why? I did some research ref lean mass responders. My a1c went from 5.8 to 5.3 in 30 days. I went no sugar /carbs. U would think the doctor would have congratulated me. No he focused on the 23 point rise in my cholesterol. Dr I googled said my body is protecting it self basically with the suddenly withdrawnal of bad carbs. The cholesterol pills will lower the Cholesterol but I need this elevation of cholesterol for now. Just think all the years of stored cholesterol and junk in my cells got dumped into my system in large quantities at once daily. So my body is repairing and doing its thing. I found out why my a1c was 5.8. I was grazing all day and so called healthy snacks. I purchased a glucose meter and test. Test. And test. Premeal. 1 hr after snd 2 hr after. Eliminated all foods that caused me to go over 130 or 140. I mostly like u have 67 to 75 morning fasting. I stay under 100 during the day. I lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks by accident.
How are you doing now?
i was just thinking that till 1997 the blood reading upto 140mgl was acceptable-this was reduced to126 which was further reduced to 100 in 2003, though WHO continues to accept 126 as the normal limit one wonders whether all our testing on glucometer and Of course tension
is worth it?
Then I am reminded that a life with no panic, eating right and enough exercise and every thing in moderation is the key. Above all to remember that our days are numbered... Have faith in God and enjoy every movement.
Ann V 😂 don’t blame the meat for what sugar did and hydrogenated plant oils.
He didn’t mention if this is after eating or near eating...
@@Arlong1776 Tony, I "assume" his normal is the American Diabetes Association's guideling for "normal" post fasting. The presentation would have been better if "normal" readings were given for post eating some typical meal. That data is readily available for diabetics as "normal" goals, but would be good to compare.
My doctor said that when your hormones are off during menopause, sugars tend to run high in the am. He said the best time to test was after meals
@@Mariem090 Menopause or not, it makes sense to test after the meal. Think about it, what can one do short term to correct post fast or pre sleep, etc? The answer is to police the carbohydrate intake, i,e,, the meal. I suspect "normal" is highly variable per individuals, but the real goal is to protect the body from the degrading effects of high glucose, especially SPIKES of high glucose.
You are one of the best doctors and I love learning new medical information you share with us. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to your next videos.
Is this fasting or no fasting?
I like how he's got such a calm and peaceful voice. Easy to listen to. But holy smokes! I'm a pre diabetic based on the symptoms he just described! That's so me I better stop eating so much and I definitely need to lay off the sugars!
So how are you doing?
Me also had to stop my old way eating exactly 1year ago
Thank you.I listen to you everyday and apply your knowleges on my body.Miracle!Science is amazing!
In medical schools doctors are mainly taught how to prescribe drugs without paying attention to the value of nutrition and diet.that is the whole truth
Most MDs get one semester of “nutrition “ during all their years in medical school. And that barely scratches the surface.
some doctors proudly admit that they attended not more than 5 hours(total) of nutrition lecture throughout their medical schools.
U t right
I love your videos. I went gluten free, organic, non-gmo for 2 years and I got rid of lots of issues. Your videos are amazing.
You just mentioned three things that have no detrimental affects on your health. GMO, Gluten , and Organic are just fairy tale bogeymen told by hippies who are ignorant of science.
@@John_Fx If you truly believe that then you are stupid.
thank you for all the awasom videos you helped me save myself. thank you much
Just subscribed!!! I have never seen a doctor like you before. Sharing your knowledge with everyone in refreshing to me. So for this I say thank you :)
I was looking at different videos and they seem to have different ranges. This I’m finding confusing. As I’m monitoring my sugar levels, because at one time I had to take tablets to reduce my sugar levels, as it was very high.
I’ve bought a glucose test kit, so far I have two readings one week apart. This is first thing in the morning before breakfast.
My reading is, 103 and 100.
Although in the instruction manual it says, above normal, normal and below normal.. it doesn’t really explain what it means. Any ideas please.
I watches all your videos that is related to my well being.
The best thing about his videos is they are precise and to the point. That proves his wisdom and knowledge.
I find it interesting that the ad that precedes this video says diabetes has nothing to do with sugar or carbs. Thank Doc for your channel!
Been doing Keto for a month. Mine was 68, hope that’s good because I’m trying to get rid of this belly fat
Good number for burning fat. 60-80 is a good range.
Love learning from you with your down-to-earth explanations.
So glad you make these great health videos. Find them so interesting also your presentation is so gentle and courteous. Thank you.
Yvette Astley is
Thank you Dr. Berg, your explanation gave me a lot of clarity!
Thanks!! I need to learn live with out of sugar!! Thanks again! 😊😍
some bodily functions do need sugar, but the liver can produce it so you don't need to consume sugar..
I think I'm a hopeless case when it comes to getting a normal blood sugar reading. I follow all the advise Dr berg instructs. I have damaged my pancreas (5 pancreatitis attacks) to the point that it produces some insulin but not enough. Normal for me is 145 to 150. I do IF twice a week and keto and this is a MUST. The bottom line is I believe if a person doesn't have the pancreas damage that I have, normal blood sugar numbers can be achieved with proper diet & exercise with IF.
Mine was 75 today 6h after meal (keto) so its pretty normal! Thanks for the referral link dr Eric ☺️
Through your videos I am learning how to do my diet right. I am 65 and Have a fatty liver so losing weight has been impossible for me plus I am type 2 diabetic. But learning how to do keto has help me. I did not know I could eat all these veggies on keto so thank you.
Great! I think I need to emphasize this
The fault is NOT sugar but unsaturated oils. Cut that out completely and you will see the transformation. Keto is going the opposite way!! It takes 4 years for the body to dump stored unsaturated oils. Food should never be cooked in oil. Unsaturated oils/fats prevent oxidation of glucose...resulting in T2DM!
Joe Lee where did you get this information from? I think you're on to something.
Dr.berg on you tube. He has many videos concerning health
Nice fake account...lol Eric Berg
As a athlete I'm studying my body always, I'm no diabetic but I do check my insulin and blood sugar levels. More for cell health and to check what my body is doing what and when!
what food do you eat to keep your blood sugar low?
I am so upset. My blood sugar levels consistently read 138 to 149, even though I haven't eaten anything with sugar for 2 months. I have been on strict keto, and keep carbs below 15 grams per day. I just want to scream. I was diagnosed as pre diabetic 10 years ago. What do I have to do to beat this thing, give up air too?
What is your main foods you eat?
I've gotten a few glucose results of 3.6 3.8 (64, 68) - gave me a bit of a shock, that I retested to make sure. Usually between 86-100.
Such a tricky subject. If a Type 1 Diabetic is having a sugar low, they must consume sugar or they could possibly die..
I can't express enough, type 1 and type 2 diabetes are completely different.
Mine runs from 100 to 140...
I'm on keto and lost over 60 lbs
I do put a dab of honey & bee pollen in my coffee...
My morning glucose is 65 mg/dL. It rises to 85-87 throughout the day after I eat. This has been fairly constant. I started keto 2 weeks ago. I’ve heard that once glucose rises, typically Keytones decrease and if glucose drops then Keytone’s increase. For the past two weeks when my glucose is low my keytones are low and when my glucose rises my keytones rise. Can my body still burn fat in this scenario? (Example: My morning glucose was 65/ketones 0.8. Ate a keto-friendly meal around noon and 30 minutes later my glucose was 85/keytones 1.1).
These are most valuable videos in internet...thank u Dr.Berg
Hey, thank you!
The only channel I love on RUclips Dr Berg!!!!!
Years ago I started getting serious about health and changed my diet completely. I eat right and make it a point to get exercise and I feel better. My weight is normal, though I was never obese to begin with. I do consume sugar in the form of hidden sugars, but it is little and does not go over the recommended daily allowance.
Once in a while I do reward myself with some Lindt Edel Nougat chocolate. If I am going to sin and abuse my body, then I may as well do it correctly with something tasty.
Are you diabetic? Doesn't sound like it
Thank you so much. I listened to two other tubers regarding glucose info. Didn’t learn nothing. Then I clicked over to u and right away u made it so clear and I so understand it now. Thank you so much🙏🏿🥰
Hello Dr. Berg, I love all your videos and your videos is supporting my clients and myself a lot, thank you
So glad to hear that! Most welcome!
HI Dr. Berg, I took your advise on going on a 14 day sugar diet. I've been on a IF and sugar diet for the past 4 days and just now, 2 hours after my first meal, I recorded a 65mg/dl. It record as low, gut your video says it's normal if your on a sugar diet. I'm 61 years old and weigh 218.
Sugar everywhere, in everything. Years ago I stopped eating sugar, sugary foods, especially white/refined sugar. Which is actually poison. I was pre-diabetic. Now I'm out of it. Here (GB) we measure it as 4, 5, 6 etc. It's said if the reading is between 5 & 6 then it's okay. Thanks a lot.
(Sat 10 July 2021 13h24)
I’ve been diabetic for a decade now. When the doctor first determined I was pre-diabetic he suggested losing weight. I lost 35 lbs and have kept it off a decade. I’m 5’11” 200lbs athletic build. I stay active and try hard to eat healthy. I now take 1,000 mg of Metformin twice daily, 25 mg if oseni, 25 mg of Losartin, 500 mg of B-12 and for the past month bitter melon. My daily glucose averages anywhere from 145-185. I only have a reading below 120 about 6 times a year. Never once seen lower than 99. I often fast for 17 hours a day and check my sugar after that before eating.
Brass - How many grams of carbohydrates do you consume each day? That's the key to beating diabetes.
tanzanable Not sure, but I try and keep carbs to a minimum. I think my love of fruits and potatoes are my biggest offenders. Also French Vanilla coffee creamer.
@@brassrainbow5568 - Try a Keto diet with virtually no carbs and you'll see dramatic progress!
You're the best doctor! Love the info. Thank you
My blood sugar has dropped to 64..and I don't know why this is after I have eaten? It's not the first time, it's been even lower.
Thank you Dr Burg! You have convinced me to begin “IF” and I can’t believe how good I feel. I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks doing 20/4 Intermittent Fasting, eliminating sugar from my diet, and following Keto. I’m a type 2 Diabetic that started out at 202 lbs and daily, morning fasting sugar reading in the 130s. I was on 500MG of Metformin and just started cutting my pill in half because of readings of 90/100. One questionI I do have is what to chew or eat during the day, while fasting to manage that empty stomach bad breath? In the last 2 weeks I haven’t been using any artificial sweeteners. Is there a type of gum or breath mint that won’t break my fast or throw me out of Keytosis?
Drink more water and good electrolytes
Peppermint or spearmint leaves . You can chew it. Nature toothpaste and deodorizer.
I like your vídeos but I believe God put sugar in so many fruits and vegetales for a reason. For me Zero sugar would not be the healthies alternative
God didn’t put that much sugar in fruits. They have been genetically modified to contain that much sugar.
I like your video so much! So professional! So clear, and to the point. Dr., you are the one of best Dr. in the world!
So truth when I dont eat sugar my belly becomes flat almost immeditely. I love the Keto diet I can survive many hours without eating n I dont get hungry, I also dont enjoy sugar/deserts anymore. Thank you.
Fasting
83 mg/dl (USA)
4.6 mmol/l
Many people would rather take a pill than cut out carbs like pizza, pasta and dessert...
Sad!
precisely, all those pills should be renamed as 'lifestyle pills', a short-cut to continue with their bad lifestyle and eating habits.
Be very careful of going under 80 on your blood sugar. I start getting the shakes and getting very moody you will start seeing colors that are green and might be gray. And I would not get off sugar cold turkey I would do it very slow and keep an eye on your sugar level. The best way to keep your sugar levels normal is losing weight
Thanks 🙏🏼 That's very Helpful.I have Diabetes Type 2.,My blood Test are 147 to 137,Working hard to change My Diet,🥗👟🙋🏻👈🏼🤗
Why may is 102 or 98 what do u thing my friend??
I have been low carb since 2011 and lost a lot of inches around my waist. What is interesting since I have a glucometer and did post prandial testing of my blood sugar (I am not diabetic nor an I overweight) I experimented with intermittent fasting. The first time I did I went for 24 hours without eating and of course after 20 hours my blood sugar dropped to 60. Then in a couple of days I fasted again and I had no cravings or weakness checked my blood sugar throughout the day and it never went below 85. And anytime I fast like that it's as though Im not fasting and my blood sugar is what my average is (when eating)which is between 90-100. What I am hearing from researchers and MD's who study low carb and paleo is that if your body needs more sugar to function the liver will make it anyways. When I first started low carb I was very strict with only 30 grams of carbs a day. My HbA1c was exactly the same 6 months into lowcarb as it was when I ate a high carb diet.
A blood sugar level of 60 is not normal.
It should not be below 70 fasting or not.
Hi Dr. Berg, is this just for fasting blood sugars or also for 1-2 hrs. post meals? Thank you!
Gave up sugar. Now I'm 50 mg/dl, is this normal?
Same here.
What is Hybetez Remedy? I have noticed many amazing things about this high blood pressure treatment.
Wow! What timing! I've been having a spike in insulin levels since last evening.
Once I cut out all carbs for a year and lost more than 100#..... However, I lost a lot of muscle tissue because I was not exercising at all..... I went from being abnormally scary super strong strong to weak as a kitten almost..... I think if you give up carbs you need to begin high resistance training to keep and rebuild muscle tissue..... If not, your body will cannibalize your muscle tissue by converting muscle protein into blood sugar...... I have never fully regained my strength I once had..... If you don't do this correctly your weight will go down dramatically, but your BMI will soar..... Dr Berg, will you please address this issue.... I always look forward to your videos as they are wonderful.....
I just LOVE YOU Dr. Berg. u are soooo educational. And I love your staff..... THANK YOU
I eat 70% fruits and 30 % green vegetables with an occasional boiled egg on a piece of millet bread. I take a variety of herbs and a fermented multi. Do I need to be concerned about the sugar in the fruit that I'm eating?
It’s a very hard question to answer...so many factors....what type of fruit...how much in one meal....how much time between one meal and the next...how much activity do you do....how healthy is your body...do your genetics support more fruit in your diet (if your from the tropics your probably better adapted to eat fruit as it’s available all year round)
You are priceless doctor .God bless you .
Thank you Dr. Berg. Great video 👍🏻. You have inspired me. I'm eliminating SUGAR completely out my diet... starting right now ! I'm committing to a ZERO-SUGAR-FOR-LIFE lifestyle. ( Zero added sugars - that is... since I'll be getting some natural sugars from fruits ) so... who's with me !?! 😀 THANK YOU Dr. Berg ! YOU'RE AWESOME ! ! ! 👍🏻
Oooo refined sugar is not very nice for the body
5 years later, are you still sugar free?
Dr Berg Do you have a video on what we can eat that does not contain sugar ? thanks
Hey Doc! My blood sugar is typically between 70 and 78 so im assuming I'm quite insulin sensitive.
What are your thoughts on spiking insulin after a workout to gain muscle? given that im in ketosis with low blood sugar most of the time. Thanks
Hey Berg- I need your urgent help. I have got profound result in IF + low carb diet. My fasted sugar however went down to 54 after my daily fasting of 20 hrs. The fasted sugar was taken at 17th hr of fasting. Am I at any risk?
My reading 116, Should I take Benfotiamine.
I’ve been working hard to keep sugar intake low. Had appendicitis this week and saw on report I am at 82 glucose level. Surprised it was that high
High? You are in a healthy range.
That's healthy range..keep doing what u r doing.
Hi Dr, Berg, I'm a new subscriber and your videos are very informative. I'm going to start taking your advice that I don't need sugar. Thanks so much, greetings from New York City 🍎
All these diet recommendations for type2 is great but what if your 6"1 and weight 161lb on a full stomach...how do you eat like that without losing anymore weight?
Thank you! Mine was 105 fasting and my dr seemed unconcerned…. My father had type 2 diabetes so I’m concerned! It’s a wake up call to get off the carbs and back to IF.
Right. Wishing your good health!
a great portion of the world uses the metric system so it would be really nice if you include the metric equivalents.
what Metric ? Sugar is not measured in Meters...
Dr Berg, this may be a silly question but my blood sugar is low after eating around 60, even after eating a meal I still feel light headed dizzy shacks and hungry. Is this a sign of hypoglycemia or something more like insulin resistance?
Hello Dr.berg
I liked your videos. I m following your every single advice. Thanks for this wonderful information about diabetes.
I had one question about fenugreek seeds. I am pre-diabetic and I m trying to avoid carbs but I can't do it. So can I take fenugreek seeds soked water everyday in morning for helping in avoiding carbs. plz answers me.
Sugar level is increasing when the volume of blood is decreasing in the body due to old age . is this correct or wrong?
I love you coming into my life doc.
Dr. Berg I am into Ketosis but this information is a bit misleading. You say there is 5gm of sugar in the blood & an average US person consumes 31 tee spoons per day. Now the missing part is how long does the one spoon of sugar in the blood last and how many grams of blood sugar does an active person actually need per day. Thanks
You need zero sugar per day.
A normal person can consume 50-75g glucose solution - spike it and return to normal blood sugar in 2 hours - that's about 5g per 10 minutes. That's from a glucose tolerance test. You can calculate for yourself how many per day that is, but that's only 1440 calories - so it could be more depending on weight and activity level.
If you are on a 6 day fasting and the meter reads 67 when waking up in the morning, is it normal?
Please help Dr Berg. I've been intermittent fasting and eating a keto diet. My blood sugar used to be between 130 and 160 fasted. Now it's down in the 80s and 90s in the morning which is good. the other day I pricked my finger and it said 83 and then I picked the finger next to it and it said 96. Why is that do I need a better machine and do you recommend in more accurate machine?
Thank you doctor

I dont feel any low sugar symtom on keto.

Thanks to keto diet.
I liked it. No BS, straight to the point! Thank you
hello i took a bloodtest and it shows that my glucose is 6.34 fasting for 12 hrs is it high?
What is the right post-meal number?
Very much self explanatory; thank you
If blood sugar post fast is 90 - 93, but then 45 minutes after eating, it is 110 - is that normal? That is a 17 point increase in 45 minutes.
I had to smile at the advert for M & M's before your video played. I know that you don't get to choose the adverts. Thank you for the advice.
That's crazy. Thanks for watching the video. Have a nice day!
Not all body's can keep sugar at 80+ with fat. Mine goes easy under 60 if i dont consume some form of sugar (could be also fruit) for some hours...
Am I pre-diabetic with blood sugar of 6 ( 110 ) in the morning , hungry ? I haven't done the test yet with the glucose.
"A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes. "
Right now my hba1c is 6.1% with an eAG of 128 mg/DL I'm very close to becoming a diabetic
I have 100mg/dl of blood Glucose level and it was flagged as being HIGH. The doctor now wants to speak with me!
When you have higher blood sugar you have inflammation too. I got my blood sugar lower and my aches and pains in my joints lessened.
