    5:26 - What causes high blood sugar (Food Intake)
    13:56 - What causes high blood sugar (Insulin Resistance)
    17:42 - It takes a long time to break it
    22:23- How to lower blood sugar
    Resuming, If you're insulin resistant, don't eat carbs that don't come from leafy greens and such (mostly water and micronutrients, almost no carbs), fats raises glucose the least, protein also doesn't raise it nearly as much as carbs, but it's more than fat, so eat more fat, less carbs and enough protein but not too much, if its too much and your body doesn't have any more use to it, it'll become glucose just like a carbohydrate would. Fasting for at least 12-16h per day helps a lot, but the optimal is OMAD, since you'll only spike insulin once a day. The worst thing you can do is to have a lot of spaced meals, it will only make you hungrier and increase your cravings for junk food, since your insulin will rise everytime you eat something. It is not a quick fix, but it is sure to help your body to work as it should so you won't have as many health complications down the line. Exercise is good, just don't over do it. Go to the gym, work your muscles to failure, walk as much as you want, that won't be an issue, but don't try to heal your body through intense cardio sessions, if anything it'll make your problem worse.

    I found that not eating lowers my blood sugar to about 80 in about two days. Of course I usually only eat less than two meals a day on average and have cut out my favorite foods which are pizza and cheese cake. One-eighth of a cheese cake raises my blood sugar to about 200 for hours. So, I'm definitely insulin resistant. Instead of salty potato chips I now eat a handful of mostly unsalted nuts. Even two cups of coffee a day makes me want to eat more, and makes me feel sickly most of the time. So I have to abstain from coffee for weeks at a time. I know the coffee industry says it won't hurt me, but what do they know? I'm a young 77 years old.

    I ate a huge dinner with wrong foods today, socializing with my brother. I am very discipline the past 2 years to beat my 20 years prediabetes ànd I struggled to keep my tests results under 90 fasted stage and always under 120 after meals successfully, except when eating out at restaurant. Tonight a large bowl of chicken pho soup and a couple of spring rolls (no drink) took my glucose reading to 160 after 3 hours post meal. I was shock!!! but not surprised. I did not eat the soup liquid, but only the noodles and meat and I know for sure my blood test will be a disaster when I get home. Most of the Asian restaurants do add msg to the foods for flavor and they honestly admit it if you ask, and that's the main problem when eating out. Every restaurant will add something. After the 160 test result I immediately drank a large cup of fresh lemon water with acv, a huge cup of chamomile tea from dried flowers. And I did 50 push-up on my knees, 50 squats, 100 reverse lunges . Just like dr Ekberg said I do it gently spreading in 1 hour light work out. Two hours later,(5 hours after the meal) I tested again, the test reading went down to 107. I am 70, very active and mostly healthy without any medication needed for now. And I take my health seriously and don't give up on high blood glucose. It's about discipline, lifestyle and patience that can save us from troubles.

      The only problem I have with this diet is that I'm losing weight and from most people that's a plus but I don't want to lose weight cuz I'm losing muscle weight.
      And not being hungry means I'm not eating enough calories in a day. So I've dropped from 215 lb to 201 lb in about 2 months or so.
      And if you don't have a look to let you know diet or at least me, you could end up in the hospital with the ridiculously insane headache and vertigo.
      The doctors gave me an IV and after an hour and a half my blood pressure drops from 106 over 164 down to 115 over 75.

    I have never had my glucose below 95 and I am fit as a fiddle. My cholesterol is 130, triglicerides 70. My BMI is 12. For me, 95 is optimal. My non fasting has never been over 120. Everyone is different and it is your responsibility to know how your body uses starches, sugars, protein etc.

    In may of last year I fasted for 25 days. I had no idea what my glucose was. I have a brother who is diabetic and constantly looks at his meter. He denied being a diabetic. If I think I have over done it then I will go without food for a minimum 12 hours. I am used to hunger, and rumbly in my tumbly. I dropped 25 pounds since January. I weigh myself every day.

      Can I ask where your fasting glucose was when you started and where it is now, if you know and are willing to share? Congratulations on the improvements. I’m a pharmacist consulting in geriatrics and it kills me to write recommendations to increase diabetic medication in so many patients when I know that dietary (and physical exercise) routines could be changed and would lead to a better outcome if compliance wasn’t an issue.

    • @edgaracevedo9658
      @edgaracevedo9658 Год назад +4

      @1brunner699 My fasting blood sugar was around 177. It came down to 130. I was expecting better results but I must be very insulin resistant. A1C went from 8 to 7.3 in 6 months. I will have another A1C in July 2023.
      Note I do take 500MG of Metformin for years but my blood sugar never decreased but stabilized at 6.7 A1C for years. Last fall Oct 2022 my A1C increased to 8 so my doctor wanted me to double metformin to twice a day and also prescribed Ozempic 0.5. I did diet instead and got down to 7.3
      I do need to lose a lot of weight which is why doc prescribed ozempic but I will hold off for now. I have occasional digestive issues and don't want to make it worst.

    • @tracy85777

Like Dr Ekberg said wake up with high fasting blood sugar around 144😢,then it comes down to normal after meal. For a time I’m so worried about it,thought sth was wrong. Can I ask if you have the same symptoms? How is the Dawn syndrome right now, did you fasting blood sugar come down?

  • @microtyger
    @microtyger Год назад +208

    No sugar for a year... Non-fasting glucose was 100,
    now it's 87 (non-fasting). 🎉
    AND I'm not hungry all the time like I used to be! 😃
    ANSWER to people asking questions: I was on an anti-inflammatory diet (paleo) because I had fibromyalgia for about 15 yrs. That's gone! Then I decided to follow a modified keto diet. It's been a year now. I eat keto foods but I don't do the proportions, so I guess it's not true keto...yet. I no longer eat grains, sugar, legumes, processed foods, and I do have organic whenever possible. I do give in with dairy... and I have meats, veggies, and for fruits I have berries. I have high fat foods. My weight is pretty steady because I'm not doing proprtions of carbs, fats, protiens. Actually, I have gradually lost 15 lbs over the last year.
    Here's what keeps me sane... I have a day during the week when I can have whatever I want. I'm finding over time though that those days are getting healthier as I go along because my food cravings have definitely changed. 🤔 I don't know if my cholesterol will be ok or not because I'm not doing the proportions yet. I am doing high fat. I was pleasantly surprised when my blood sugar (non-fasting) dropped from 100 (always steady previously) down to 87. 🤔 💭
    BONUS: For the first time in my life, I'm not starving in between meals!! Thats huge. I take advantage of that and don't eat in between meals. I do have coffee ☕ with cream twice a day too.
    My body's food cravings really did change over time.

      You can live without any blood sugar.There's a documented case of a person who Fasted for many weeks (I think 7 weeks). With a blood glucose of 1 , they injected him with insulin.His glucose went to zero, but he had no symptoms of hypoglycemia . They then re-measured his ketones , to see the ketones decreased slightly .They think the decrease was because his brain had been using some glucose before the insulin injection.With zero glucose , after insulin, his brain then used ketones instead .Thus , the ketone level reduction.

    0:19: 📉 The video discusses the normal blood glucose levels and the recommended ranges for fasting and after meals.
    3:48: 📈 The speaker discusses the impact of different types of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels, emphasizing that eating whole foods and avoiding processed carbohydrates can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
    7:29: 📚 Eating sugar is worse than eating starch because sugar contains both glucose and fructose, and fructose can only be processed by the liver, leading to fatty liver disease.
    11:30: 📚 Different types of food have varying impacts on blood sugar levels, with carbohydrates having the greatest effect, followed by protein and fat. Insulin resistance also plays a role in blood sugar regulation.
    15:26: 🩸 High blood sugar leads to insulin resistance, and fructose exacerbates this process.
    19:30: ⏰ Insulin resistance develops over time, making it harder for the body to control blood glucose levels.
    22:57: ✅ To lower blood sugar levels, it is important to reduce insulin by avoiding sugar and reducing overall carbohydrate intake. Gentle exercise and eating non-starchy vegetables can also help.
    26:53: 🏋 During intense exercise, the body burns more glucose than fat, creating a need for more glucose production.

      Thanks dr ekberg, i am very grateful to have found you. I have managed to reduce my weight tremendously through your teachings about intermittent fasting despite having hypothyroid problem. I am leaving in Kenya and I have to say you are amazing. Thanks healthy is not magic someone has to work on it.

    WOW!!! Really important life saving information that. This is why fruitarians mess up. Forty three years ago, when I was 19 I became a Vegetarian. But even then I leaned to much towards sugar. But anyway I lived a very active, very hardworking lifestyle for most of my life. For most of that time i was very fit and strong and did full time hard labour, pick and shovel work etc on my farms.. I felt great as a vegetarian and enjoyed above average health with no weight problems or body odour.. But then 14 years ago I became a Raw Food Vegan, and felt even better, but a few "complications" were surfacing. then a couple of years after that I became a "Fruit based raw food vegan", believing that to be the optimum diet, the perfect diet for humans. Eating fresh raw fruit for approximately 80%, or more, of my diet and thats when the problems really started. And for the next 7 or 8 years, like many fruitarians/fruit based raw food vegans, I was in denial. And I'd see others further on that path expressing frustration and asking for help but the fruit based raw vegan community just attacks and ostracises them, which makes it even worse and they suffer in silence, as I did for years, desperately looking for the answer. And now, I'm pretty much at the hight of my problems but finally gaining the knowledge to hopefully correct these problems. I'm severely disabled now, I can hardly walk and on oxygen almost 24/7 ... Its mostly my lungs..I can open my lungs up, no mucus, but cannot seem to process oxygen, hearts beats too fast too. .. .. and some evenings I'm almost on deaths door.. But this video has clarified even more what I need to know and practice. Sugar has become poison for me. It happened gradually, over many years, sweeter fruits affected me more. Looking back I can see now how the problems were very gradually starting 25 years ago. .. I still stubbornly try to start my day with one piece of fruit so I dont get constipated, but yea.. I probably should even stop that.. Its just so hard to know what I can eat.. and I've hardly ever eaten the stuff I'm eating now for most of my life.. Wish I had somebody like you by my side, giving me the foods I need and stop me from eating the wrong stuff.. About the only foods I can eat now and prepare myself, as a disabled person, without sever side effects, is eggs and cheese.... But I seem to go ok on Thai takeaways, very delicious cooked vegetable dishes, Thai style. I will never go back to meat.. but feel I can get my protein though the eggs and cheese. Thank you very much Dr Ekberb, you explain this so well and now I feel I'm much closer to reversing my very serious health problems.
