Before you push Keto diets you have to address preventing prolonged elevated Uric acid levels in blood. Not doing so is health dis-service to patients.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for all you do. But do to my love for you I have to say that your own health is also very important. So would you please take your own medicine to get rid of your belly fat. I was very impressed with your great body shape however, I'm noticing an increase in your belly. I don't mean yo offend you just want you stay around much longer and be a good example for great health by following your own great lessons. Stay healthy. Much love. Blessings.
This dr. literally saved my life! For 2 yrs now my A1c has been been between 4.9 and 5.3. 2 yrs ago before finding Dr. Eckberg and Dr Ken Berry. My A1c then was 9.5 and i was feeling horrible.....swollen ankles, tired all the time, severe headaches at night. Now at age 64 i feel 30 yrs younger, have lost 78 lbs to date and have more energy than when i was in my 40's. Other drs did notook at healing but pushing meds. I am off ALL meds now....hbp, statins, metformin and even my thyroid med. ❤
You are so right. And it should be presented this way in MED SCHOOL to keep doctors from putting people on MORE insulin. And as for the other comment, sugar craving IS an addiction and must be treated as such. It doesn't negate the fact that the education should be staple.
This doctor truly transformed my life! Two years ago, my A1c was at a dangerous 9.5, and I felt absolutely terrible-constant fatigue, swollen ankles, and nightly severe headaches. After discovering Dr. Eckberg and Dr. Ken Berry, everything changed. My A1c has now been consistently between 4.9 and 5.3 for two years. At 64, I feel 30 years younger, have lost an incredible 78 pounds, and have more energy than I did in my 40s. Unlike other doctors who focused on prescribing medications, they helped me heal. I’m now completely off all meds-no more blood pressure pills, statins, metformin, or even thyroid medication. I couldn’t be more grateful! ❤
Its 3rd August 2024. My body felt too tired and that doctor recommend me to go for hb1ac . My hb1ac report shocked me i.e 9.8. That is the last day. I changed everything of mine. Today is 3rd of November my hb1ac is 5.6 These are the things which I follow everyday. 1. Walk 40 minutes morning and after dinner 30 minutes walk. 2. Add yoga or weight training in your routine 3 days in a week. 3. Eat twice in a day. Early morning before 10 Am and night before 8.00 Pm. 4. High Fat Protein . Low carb diet. 5. Salad Salad and Salad This can save you. Start the food with salad. 6. Stress management. This is the biggest thing you have to care about. 7.Say no packaged, Junk and fast good. 8. Fasting Once in a week. That mean eat only one meal in a day. In order to heal your pancreas. 9. Sound Sleep for more than 7.30 hours. 10. Meditation . Meditate everyday say to yourself these things will change. Don't feel like victim. Its way to transform yourself. 11. Say no to Sugar, Gluten, Corn, Juices and Packed items. All the best. The biggest disease is addicted brain. P.S Note : We all are harming ourselves everyday to feed our temporary addiction.
I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last week. Since then, I've watched more than 35 videos on the subject. This is the most informative, thank you for posting it.
Good day viewers I am in Jamaica this doctor has literally saved me I have been listening and applying his instructions I was a type 2 diabetic now I have been successful in reversing it for a little over a year and no longer need to take any medication THANKS FOR U MEANINGFUL ADVICES DOC u r changing lives may God keep blessing u so more will b impacted
The keto diet worsens type 2 diabetes. People on the ketogenic diet have the shortest life expectancies of any diet, a decade long study involving thousands of people on the keto diet found that they have the highest incidence of heart attack and stroke. RMIT University in Melbourne Australia just last week wrapped up a similar study involving thousands of people on the keto diet and drew the same conclusion
0:00 - What is normal 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 pretty much understood how the whole blood sugar thing worked but you have put it in such a simple and concise video that is so simple to understand. I will now pass this on to people in my circle who really need help and when I mention things they should not be eating the just look at me like why??? They just think popping another metformin will cure all. Hoping this can help a lot of people. You have a great way of explaining things in layman terms. My limited research tells me blood sugar is the root cause of most all of societies ailments and must be addressed for optimum health. Why don’t more doctors address the nutrition issue with patients???
Now, in UK, they are starting to teach this at medical school. My son is doing medicine and is aware of this stuff. My GP however is int he dark ages. Dangerous for society but change is possibly on the way.
Dziękuję za świetny wykład, mam cukrzycę od 25 lat i żaden lekarz nie wytłumaczył na czym polegają procesy w cukrzycy. Niestety lekarze nie mają na to czasu, Pana doskonałe wytłumaczenie bardzo mi pomoże w dalszym prowadzeniu cukrzycy.
Beat Diabetes told me sbout your channel . I had alott of stress and didnt watch my blood gucose is realy high . I am fasting . No carbs now no suger orange juice . Fasting eating one meal maily meat ..beef broth and some butter . My stress has been off the charts .thankyou .
You explained this so well. I have learned so much from this video God bless you. I am a new Type 2 Diabetic and am currently working on getting my A1C down as fast as possible. It is 14! I couldn't believe how high it was. I ate too much takeout and sweets and now I realize the damage I have done to my body. Meds, huge changes in my diet, and exercise are my new normal.
I’d just like to say that these videos have been instrumental in helping me take responsibility for my own health. 8 months ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I just had follow up bloodwork after making some changes. My A1C went from 8.7 to 5.4 without medication in that time frame. Thank you for making this information available-It has been life changing for me.
@@Jos-ow5nm With a healthy low carbohydrate/no sugar diet and 5 days/30 minutes of cardio exercise. I feel 20 years younger and I feel like a fog has been lifted from my brain.
It's the same as the sizing of clothing in the USA; 40 years ago I used to have to squeeze into a size 8, and now that i am 20 pounds heavier than my High School weight, i can easily wear a size 6. They are adjusting everything to normalize the sugar bodies!
Yep. That is so true. And you’re about right on the time this started. Like you, I had to squeeze into a size 6 40 years ago. A few years ago, I lost weight to about 10-15 pounds heavier than my teen-age weight and could wear a size 0 jeans! I’ve since gained weight and am happy to be a “millennial size” 8.😢 In the 80’s I would probably be a 12😮
The fact you provide this wisdom for free is astonishing. To echo so many others here, thank you for all you do and sharing your knowledge with us. You’re incredibly articulate and the way you present this info. is very easy to understand.
I took the sugar challenge in January and eliminated almost all processed food. Results: I finally got off my weight set point, lost 10 pounds, and got rid of most arthritis pain. Thank you, Dr. Sten.
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. Another typical person but that was what happened to me and they measured my ketones in my urine and it was 20 lol
@@zoepavlou6990 i eat like 6-8 eggs a day and 1.5lb ground beef or more most days. I pour a lot of the fat that cooked off the beef back on top so that I'm not divisioned in fat. How much more protein do you think I need?
@@zoepavlou6990 once a week I have salmon so I get there 2 and 1/2 or 3 lb bag they have at Sam's club and my daughter eats some of it night to thirds of it. So that'd be my meat instead of steak or hamburger. But I always have at least 6 eggs in a day. I'm trying to add in some carbs starting today before and after a workout because I get sick and a headache and dizzy from working out now with no carbs
This is the best video I've seen explaining insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and how to fix it. I just discovered I had diabetes, my fasting blood sugar was 204, and A1C 9.6, and my first appointment with an endocrinologist is in July. I was seeing a nutritionist, and she insisted that I have to eat 5 times a day, 2 hours between meals, all kinds of carbs included. That's crazy. Thankfully, I listened to Dr. Jason Fung a lot, and now I subscribed to this channel because what both of you explain makes more sense. THANK YOU for this video! ❤❤
Dr Ken Berry is the best doctor on this subject. If you can afford to go carnivore you could completely heal your diabetes. I was just diagnosed with pre-diabetes and meat makes me nauseous even though I love meat. Good luck and God bless you as you tale this healing journey 😉
@@maryfolks9368 Carnivore and keto have never healed diabetes, it's illegal for doctors to even make that claim anymore, so many of them started making subtle changes to how they phrase that false claim in order to get away with it. Going vegan, on the other hand, CAN completely reverse Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. I've never been vegan, but about 7 years ago I became Type-1, which has no cure whatsoever, and years of experimentation has repeatedly shown me that the most effective thing for keeping my blood sugar low and eliminating insulin resistance is FIBER... As little as one spoonful of hemp fiber reduces my insulin needs to almost nothing for almost a full week, and my numbers are always perfect at my endocrinologist visits. Meanwhile, I've been watching one body builder after another aggressively promote carnivore and keto diets only to die of strokes and heart attacks, or developing Type 2 diabetes. Removing carbs from your diet has some temporary benefits, but over time it atrophies your body's ability to process carbs, so that when any kind of sugar does get into your diet, it remains in your blood -- basically the same effect as insulin resistance.
Imagine having people like Dr Ekberg sharing their wisdom in every part of our lives! The world would be healthier, happier, wealthier, and environmentally improving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Facts. I have type 2 diabetes and hypothyroid due to oblation. I avoided animal fats for years. Watched 1 video and I'm down 22 lbs in one month and best energy and focus in decades. Currently 6"2 256 want to get down to 220!
Every time I listen to this man, nutrition becomes clearer to me. I'm amazed how we vilified fat in the 1970s and replaced it with sugar. No fat, we needed to add more sugar for favor. Maybe that's why people in the 60s and 70s were thinner. Anyway I think this channel is great, clear and concise. The mainstream for the most part is still preaching old school "science" and this line of thinking and science is too far out and has no basics in "real" science. Sad.
Yeah, when I watch a movie from the 70’s especially. Those people were lean machines. They had flat stomachs like crazy! Also, they didn’t look emaciated, just a healthy type of thin. And also, they didn’t look like they stayed in the gym.
I can completely attest to this, did this before even watching this video. Found out I was type 2 with an A1C of 13.8, I was shocked. Immediately went on a full keto diet, within 1 month got my A1C down to 10.2, and within 3 months was down to 6.2. I have since re introduced a minimal controlled amount of carbs, no sugar still and I'm maintaining everything without any meds. My blood sugars are in the low to mid 100's only varying by 20-30 points at all times, occasionally I'll break down into the sub 100 range.
@@AlisHaAmbreenAli I was only on Metformin, so I just stopped taking it all together. Many people in my family are diabetic, but most of them still eat really bad and just rely on the meds. My dad who just turned 70, has been T2 diabetic for most of his life and didn't manage his diet well, is mostly blind and had a toe amputated. That was my motivation to take it serious and eat healthy. What I find is most people have a really hard time controlling their diet. I eat a very consistent diet. Protein shake for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch, and dinner I'll usually have some meat with plenty of vegetables and a little amount of carbs, my rule is whatever would fit in the palm of my hand as far as the carb portion size.
@omihaahmed229 kinda standard times, protein shake around 7:00 am, would have a small snack around 10:ish lunch around 12-1ish, another snack around 2-3ish, then dinner around 6:30-7ish
I shared this with my family. My fasting glucose number was in the 270s in November 2022. It's currently 122 as of last weekend. This low carb and intermittent fasting works. I eat around 11 am and 3 pm. I'm getting close.
@Calvin Evans, congratulations on changing your life's trajectory! Keep on rockin' it! FYI, there is a troll scammer on this thread who is posing as Dr. Ekberg and trying to get you to text. Don't fall for that.
En Latinoamérica, exceptuando México y el Caribe, comemos mucho más sano que en Estados Unidos pues nuestras comidas tienen muy poco químico, casi siempre son naturales, comemos mucha carne. Los indígenas no comían azúcar ni harinas.
My glucose this morning 60 and ketones 4.6!!! On day 5 of a water fast…hoping to make it to Sunday night for a full 7 days! I keep watching your videos on autophagy and it has given me strength and encouragement to power thru!!! Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg, God richly bless everything you do!!!
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.
Brenda Collins - so how did you measure your glucose and ketone levels ? I need to do this, but am not a fan of needles, but it might be necessary. Thanks much.
This is probably the best video dealing with diabetes that I've ever seen. I'm going to insist that my kids watch it, it's that important. Thanks Doc, you're top notch!
Wow ! This is like a crash course on How to stop diabetes. Thank you Dr. This material should be shown in schools and colleges so kids have a clear understanding of the workings of IR seriously and this epidemic of diabetes can be contained easily.
I wore a Continuous Glucose Monitor for 14 days, twice. Found a massive increase during thi night, and my number was never below 100 for the entire time.
Thank you for this video, You brought back memories of 55 years of Olympic lifting, power lifting, bodybuilding and knowledge of nutrition.. 3 years ago my life got derailed with bad food and laziness. I have diabetes now, I'm going to see if I can fix this. I'm 72, hope I can return to what I was, Thank you very much sir.
Please play this video in schools, Highschools, colleges, tv radio and so on . This is free information that clears all the mystery of diabetes and how our body works . Why three year ago I could eat that melon snd today I shouldn’t . I really shouldn’t . Because we get older and the body stops working . We have to realize that and maybe less amputations. Diabetes is crippling the people and the country . Play this video on repeat. No more crackers no more fruits etc. You as a doctor are a real professor and we are very very Blessed
Thank you @zaphodhead1. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
After adopt low carb diet along with intermittent fasting my fasting glucose levels maintain 80 to 100 but sometimes spike to 110. Very informative video thank you for sharing Dr. Ekberg God blessed 🙏.
This doctor is the best. You have made me understand what diabetes is, the causes and side effects. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes yet I still didn't understand the sickness

This is by far the best explanation I've seen/heard on blood sugar/insulin. I'm type 2 diabetic and have been on a zero starch diet since January 2023. My blood sugar has been coming down gradually, my glucose spikes are now minimal as well as the morning Dawn syndrone.
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.
@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.
Ozempic has given me side effects and muscle loss. I don't recommend it. I tried some other diabetes meds and they all make me feel sick. I've got alot of work to do to get my health back. Unfortunately I'm tired and finding clean food isn't as easy as it used to be. It's also expensive.
how are you right now?❤Do the A1C come down? I’m also T2 diabetic,been doing keto since July. 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?
Insulin resistance and necessity for keto diet and fasting, explained in the best possible way. A sincere thank you, doctor Ekberg. The challenge is how to stay loyal to low carb principles for the rest of our lives. For sure, knowledge of how our body works, gives us the strength to carry on.
I swore out load several times while watching this video. In my sixties now and am close to furious upon the realization that conventional medicine is failing us in so many ways. I already am someone who is extremely sensitive to and avoids prescription medicines like the plaque - carbs and sugar-filled sweets have been a different story though. The incredibly thorough and clear presentation offered here has blown my mind and may finally be the long lost missing link for me to leave my sugar addiction in the rear view mirror, where it belongs. This gentleman is a real teacher if ever there was one!! THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom with us!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜💜💪💪☯️☯️ Karen
My fasting glucose was 120 with my a1c at 10 last year. i cut out carbs and sugars and it dropped to 100 with an a1c of 6.5 after 3 momths. Now i am at 5.8 a1c with 3 months of intermittent fasting and I'm down 32lb. Still a ways to go but it is possible!
@@DihelsonMendonca The point of maintaining normal blood glucose is a matter of the quality or the type of food you eat. All you have to do if you need to gain weight is eat the same types of foods in larger portions! (registered dietitian nutritionist over 35 years)
This is the best description of what is going on in diabetics that I have seen. Most interesting to me is the advise on how to exercise. For two years I have been doing it wrongly, lost 50 lbs, but now at normal weight it seems I need to tone back on the intensity.
To control my diabetes 2 I have never taken the metformin prescribed, instead I started fasting 3 days a week drinking my nutrients and electrolytes, and walking for exercise. When I was diagnose with diabetes 2, I was 157kgs and 6'5" tall. Within 7 months I had dropped my weight to 121kgs and have kept it there since 2018. At 62yrs old I'm feeling good and still walking for exercise and fast 2 days a week... 😂👍🏼
Ah, to be a man, lol. Fasting at all makes things so much worse for most women. That's also why women aren't included in most nutritional studies. Hormonal fluctuations throw off results.
Most likely an 18 hour fast 3 days a week . I basically do that every day with a few exceptions . Eating healthy as the gentleman prescribes . Doing very well with this protocol since 2021. Before that always in great shape but the carbs were doing damage . Eg burg and Dr Burg are two of the best in my opinion .
Dr Ekberg, you have changed my life literally. I now understand how cravings work, as an example. I should have researched these things 30 years ago. I'm looking forward to your videos on fasting.
You are so right! 10 months ago because I was eating very bad I was a bit insulin resistant but now after 3 months of intermittent fasting my blood sugar came back to your optimal range. Thank you Doc! ❤
Nice to see you are still plugging away on insulin resistance...in my humble opinion you deserve the OLYMPIAN NOBLE PEACE PRIZE FOR THE GOOD YOU ARE DOING FOR HUMANITY....WAY MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR THE AMERICAN MEDICAL PROFESSION....THANK YOU DOCTOR,,,YOU HAVE HELPED ME MORE THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE.
Dr Ekberg, you single handedly set me on a path of healthier lifestyle and changing just about the most important part in my life, how i eat and what i eat. you don't know how profound all the knowledge is that you are spreading and don't get tired of repeating!!! SO MUCH i did not know... thank you so much!!!! from Berlin, Germany
5/31/24...Day 13 without sugar, no carbs, only meat and cottage. Did a short 24 hr fast after day 3, then a 51 hr fast after day 9. I broke my longer fast due to my job being labor intensive, I was dizzy, headaches, diarrhea and just ill. At day 4 I developed a detox flu, it rivaled some of the worst flu symptoms I've had in 40 years but I truly believe it was detox from the sugar restriction. I am currently doing OMAD, eating 8oz of beef, 8oz of chicken breast and a cup of cottage cheese. I feel phenomenal and pray that my next Dr visit for blood panel in 6 months shows a marked improvement of a1c. I was recently tested and results were 6.6 a1c.
6.6 ac1 isn't great but it's not that bad either so long as you stay under 7. Also, unfortunately cottage cheese has more sugar than you would believe. Just read the label. There's certain things you can do like whipping cream As a replacement for coffee cream or in recipes requiring milk. (not the stuff in a spray can but the stuff you pour to make whipping cream without sugar. If you look on the nutrition label you'll see that it actually has no sugars in it. So I've used that now as my replacement for dairy because all dairy has naturally occurring sugar.) If you're doing a lot of physically intense activities. Your body will need some carbs. I find that if I know I'm going to have a heavy afternoon of lifting etc. That a very small amount of black beans (preferably not from a can, soaked if you could do it) carrots, basically anything that is a real vegetable with moderate carbs and a low glycemic load. This will keep your sugars from spiking but also keep your energy up as the fiber is super important. Also, this one is absolutely huge for me and got me from a 15 AC One back down to a 7.1 is walking as often as you can after each meal even if it's just for 10 minutes as it gets your metabolism up while also contributing to an overall lowering of not only your blood sugar but your stress hormones which are a major contributor to your blood sugar going up. Good luck! It's not easy
Whenever I watch your videos, I wish all the doctors were same. Instead of giving medicine, they must give explanations , ( teaching) like you. These lessons make me feel a student in some medical school. I find no proper words to Thank you.
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.
Yo estoy en un plan alimenticio con una nutriologa, yo así lo que tu.haces y me dijo que me estaba matando ahora como todo pero pesado. He mejorado bastante
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. Recap by Tammy AI
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.
I love his teaching style and since 1998 I've been diabetic and tried alot of things including Vegan however I have come to appreicate each person should educate themselves and learn what works for them. Thanks to RUclips we have access to such great teaching, Our doctors visit's are limited to 10 minutes.
Such a great video at summarizing glucose and insulin resistance and how they’re impacted by what we eat! I had started a no-sugar May, and it wasn’t going very well, as I ended up eating sugar 5/2 and 5/3. Yesterday was my first sugar-free day, and this video is exactly what I needed! Thank you, Doctor Ekberg! 💗🙏🏻💗
Zara - Good job on your first day with no sugar at all. What we did was get it out of the house ( and keep it out ), cause we can’t eat what’s not available. Hardest part for most, including us, to remember is that Carb’s turn right into sugar as well ! Yikes. Anyway, all bread, cereal etc,… out the door ! AND, as we just heard the Dr. Say,… even too much protein turns to glucose as well. Soooo,… more exercise (light) and LOTs of non-starchy vegi’s for us. Watch it though on the leafy greens. Many of them are VERY high in oxilates , ( spinach is off there chart ) cause too much will cause/worsen gout and arthritis mainly for those of us that are a bit older. The book I’m reading, “ Complete Idiot’s Guide Anti-Inflammation Cookbook “ talks about having 3 servings of vegi’s at each meal. And to kept/learn many different recipes on how to make the vegi’s so you don’t get board/sick of them. Doing this is a commitment to yourself, but you’re worth it. Am also working on accepting the idea, I won’t be eating out much anymore, aside from “salad & go “ ( here in Phoenix ), which I’ve gone to for a number of years now. **** ( PS, I need to check what Thomas DeLauer would say about not doing intense exercise, since it raises cortisol levels, as the Dr. just mentioned in this vid. Interesting to learn and fit these pieces all together. Good luck all. ) ****
Seed and bean oils are the main cause of insulin resistance because it directly destroys mitochondria. Excessive fructose and sugar also are also negative as Sten says.
This is the clearest video I've watched on the subject and I have watched many. Perfect for lay people. I learnt something new with the optimal glucose levels and the gentle exercise advice.
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.
Dr, can you tell us how we can get rid of a fatty liver? I was diagnosed with one a year ago when I had my blood work done but nothing else has come from it, but I am trying to do the 30 day challenge of no sugar I appreciate all you’re doing for everyone. Thank you.

@Dr. Sten Ekberg Hello Dr. I've been watching your channel and I have to thank you for supplying the information that will change my lifestyle. I did have 1 question though. Will creatine break a fast?
What a good teacher. I learned some of the finer points of blood sugar stuff and Dr. Sten explained to me a little more about how important it is to know what your insulin levels are and how to lower insulin. God Bless.
What a fantastic class given by Dr. Ekberg. You make this subject very easy to understand, and the glass and markers is a genius way of presenting graphics on RUclips. Thank you for posting this. I learned a lot!
Thank you for the information. I went to the doctor and they checked my sugar level and that time I just finished my lunch and the result is 166, the doctor told me that it's already a pre diabetic.
Woman With impeccable lifestyle,Who cooks all her food at home,her only drink is water;finds her self With type 1 diabets at 47 years old !!(With multiple ovarian cycts)please DR explain to me;my respects to all of France.
Most often Type 1 diabetes is the result of an autoimmune event that destroyed the ability to produce beta cells. This is not insuline resistance, it is a lack of insuline.
No matter how much I think I know on a specific health topic I always learn new information watching your videos. For example, I didn’t realize that muscles don’t require insulin to uptake glucose during ‘soft exercise’. I find this makes going for a walk after a meal even more motivating 😊
I find that 25 minutes of fast walk gives me the lowest number, if I walk more my glucose starts to go up again. I can go from 180 to 73 if I observe this rule. Your body might be different, your meter is key to understand these things.
@@fishydubsfishing6516 It's very simple, during exercise when your glucose goes too low, the liver starts to create glucose so you don't faint, in a healthy body this works great because together with the pancreas things stay balanced but if you are insulin resistant or a diabetic, the liver over shoots and you might end up with even higher glucose then before you started the exercise. So if you are 100% healthy go for as much exercise as you wish but if you are diabetic and want to lower your post meal numbers limited exercise will result in better glucose numbers.
I believe it is called the contraction mediated pathway. You will find numerous papers on the subject on PubMed. Basically, as Dr Ekberg states, even moderate exercise allows your muscles to accept blood sugar without insulin. This gives your pancreas a much-needed break from suppressing blood glucose.
Thank You @Strathom1 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I am so thankful that my part time involves me standing all day and doing manual work. Sometimes there’s some lifting; most times it’s light work. I only sit down when I eat my meal (which is a salad with salmon, no carbs 😊) in my lunch break. I was so unfit when I had a desk job.
I like having a physical job as well. I work at the grocery store. I lift a lot of boxes, and squat and reach stocking groceries on the shelves. I genuinely feel bad for the people I see all day pushing around carts full of junk food (or riding a motorized cart). I used to feel extremely judgmental but now I mostly feel grateful because, but for the grace of God, that would be me.
My Friday fix. Thanks for my weekly inspiration and motivation to keep up this low carb lifestyle that has completely changed my health & life. Going on 3 years now and never looking back. Thanks in big part to you Dr. Ekberg 🌹
I am on a 40-Day 40-Night water fast, and I can say with absolute certainty, that it’s the number 1 fastest way to drop your glucose levels. I’m used to being very insulin resistant, and now I don’t even get dawn phenomenon upon waking. My glucose level late last night was 79, and this morning it was 71.

I am a filipino nurse, and when a friend told me that he completely doesn't take his metformin because he doesn't like the side effects and he is a prediabetic... I took his sugar and it was 133 prior to the new non-pharm tx,,, He is 55 yo. I told him to take this AMPALAYA TEA everyday when he gets home which is around 5pm -6pm cos. I prefer him to take it at this time to prevent from getting up for bathroom so promote rest at night. After 1 week i think it was when I saw him again I tested his sugar and it was 83... and he didn't change his diet. only advice I gave him was do not consume more carbs than he normally does. Next time when I see him I will also take his BP. I wasn't worried about his bp going down cos he tend to be borderline on his BP... In which the tea will also help reduce BP.
One of the best explanations I have heard so far. I have switched to a ketogenic diet months ago to prevent diabetes as all of my family has it…I am the only one in my family who doesn’t, but I have always watched what I eat…I find the keto lifestyle much easier to sustain and I don’t think about food like I did on the low fat diet. I am 5 ft tall so I really have to watch what goes into my body. I don’t need to lose weight, but Keto way of eating is just easier as I can gain very easily. An added benefit is my tummy issues are all gone…I haven’t had an IBS flare up since I switched …yay. ☺️

My endocrine system broke due to bad choices at Thanksgiving dinner in 2010. I became debilitatingly hypoglycemic and seemed to be "allergic" to carbs. It took me 3 years with a lot of suffering to get my system working more normally again. I was warned by a doctor that I'd probably become diabetic years down the road. And, yep, now I'm running high instead of too low.
My mom started off with hypoglycemia in her 30s and then became a bad type 2 diabetic later because she kept eating junk. :-( Now she is in horrible health at 80.

Kids are not interested. Speak from experience, I have an 18 year old sugar addict at home.
You are so right.
And it should be presented this way in MED SCHOOL to keep doctors from putting people on MORE insulin.
And as for the other comment, sugar craving IS an addiction and must be treated as such.
It doesn't negate the fact that the education should be staple.

The keto diet worsens type 2 diabetes.
People on the ketogenic diet have the shortest life expectancies of any diet, a decade long study involving thousands of people on the keto diet found that they have the highest incidence of heart attack and stroke.
RMIT University in Melbourne Australia just last week wrapped up a similar study involving thousands of people on the keto diet and drew the same conclusion

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 pretty much understood how the whole blood sugar thing worked but you have put it in such a simple and concise video that is so simple to understand. I will now pass this on to people in my circle who really need help and when I mention things they should not be eating the just look at me like why??? They just think popping another metformin will cure all. Hoping this can help a lot of people. You have a great way of explaining things in layman terms. My limited research tells me blood sugar is the root cause of most all of societies ailments and must be addressed for optimum health. Why don’t more doctors address the nutrition issue with patients???
Dr. Bosworth has also stated that when you have high blood sugar, that's why you have high blood pressure! Wow, that sunk home too!
They don't teach it because they are taught very little nutrition.
Now, in UK, they are starting to teach this at medical school. My son is doing medicine and is aware of this stuff. My GP however is int he dark ages. Dangerous for society but change is possibly on the way.

I took the sugar challenge in January and eliminated almost all processed food. Results: I finally got off my weight set point, lost 10 pounds, and got rid of most arthritis pain. Thank you, Dr. Sten.
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.

This is the best video I've seen explaining insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and how to fix it.

Thankfully, I listened to Dr. Jason Fung a lot, and now I subscribed to this channel because what both of you explain makes more sense. THANK YOU for this video! ❤❤
There are videos on RUclips here saying that you can reverse type 2 diabetes, maybe you can try to see if it works ?
Dr Ken Berry is the best doctor on this subject. If you can afford to go carnivore you could completely heal your diabetes. I was just diagnosed with pre-diabetes and meat makes me nauseous even though I love meat. Good luck and God bless you as you tale this healing journey 😉
@@maryfolks9368 Carnivore and keto have never healed diabetes, it's illegal for doctors to even make that claim anymore, so many of them started making subtle changes to how they phrase that false claim in order to get away with it. Going vegan, on the other hand, CAN completely reverse Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. I've never been vegan, but about 7 years ago I became Type-1, which has no cure whatsoever, and years of experimentation has repeatedly shown me that the most effective thing for keeping my blood sugar low and eliminating insulin resistance is FIBER... As little as one spoonful of hemp fiber reduces my insulin needs to almost nothing for almost a full week, and my numbers are always perfect at my endocrinologist visits. Meanwhile, I've been watching one body builder after another aggressively promote carnivore and keto diets only to die of strokes and heart attacks, or developing Type 2 diabetes. Removing carbs from your diet has some temporary benefits, but over time it atrophies your body's ability to process carbs, so that when any kind of sugar does get into your diet, it remains in your blood -- basically the same effect as insulin resistance.
Same thing happened to me with a dietitian. She asked me for a 2nd appointment i said no

Hello!!!! What video did you watch?
How much fat do you eat and which types of fat?
Every time I listen to this man, nutrition becomes clearer to me. I'm amazed how we vilified fat in the 1970s and replaced it with sugar. No fat, we needed to add more sugar for favor. Maybe that's why people in the 60s and 70s were thinner. Anyway I think this channel is great, clear and concise. The mainstream for the most part is still preaching old school "science" and this line of thinking and science is too far out and has no basics in "real" science. Sad.
Yeah, when I watch a movie from the 70’s especially. Those people were lean machines. They had flat stomachs like crazy! Also, they didn’t look emaciated, just a healthy type of thin. And also, they didn’t look like they stayed in the gym.
I can completely attest to this, did this before even watching this video. Found out I was type 2 with an A1C of 13.8, I was shocked. Immediately went on a full keto diet, within 1 month got my A1C down to 10.2, and within 3 months was down to 6.2. I have since re introduced a minimal controlled amount of carbs, no sugar still and I'm maintaining everything without any meds. My blood sugars are in the low to mid 100's only varying by 20-30 points at all times, occasionally I'll break down into the sub 100 range.
So you stopped taking meds immediately or slowed it down? I'm really concerned for my mom, doctor has recommended her insulin injections.
@@AlisHaAmbreenAli I was only on Metformin, so I just stopped taking it all together. Many people in my family are diabetic, but most of them still eat really bad and just rely on the meds. My dad who just turned 70, has been T2 diabetic for most of his life and didn't manage his diet well, is mostly blind and had a toe amputated. That was my motivation to take it serious and eat healthy. What I find is most people have a really hard time controlling their diet. I eat a very consistent diet. Protein shake for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch, and dinner I'll usually have some meat with plenty of vegetables and a little amount of carbs, my rule is whatever would fit in the palm of my hand as far as the carb portion size.
@@garygogo9048 Thanks for the details and motivation.
Congratulations!! How often did you eat? Like how spaced out was your protein shake and then lunch and dinner? :)
@omihaahmed229 kinda standard times, protein shake around 7:00 am, would have a small snack around 10:ish lunch around 12-1ish, another snack around 2-3ish, then dinner around 6:30-7ish
I shared this with my family. My fasting glucose number was in the 270s in November 2022. It's currently 122 as of last weekend. This low carb and intermittent fasting works. I eat around 11 am and 3 pm. I'm getting close.

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.
@@kenadams5504 Sounds like you are a bit mixed up about the details of that case.

Wow ! This is like a crash course on How to stop diabetes. Thank you Dr. This material should be shown in schools and colleges so kids have a clear understanding of the workings of IR seriously and this epidemic of diabetes can be contained easily.
I wore a Continuous Glucose Monitor for 14 days, twice. Found a massive increase during thi night, and my number was never below 100 for the entire time.
Thank you for this video, You brought back memories of 55 years of Olympic lifting, power lifting, bodybuilding and knowledge of nutrition.. 3 years ago my life got derailed with bad food and laziness. I have diabetes now, I'm going to see if I can fix this. I'm 72, hope I can return to what I was, Thank you very much sir.
Please play this video in schools, Highschools, colleges, tv radio and so on . This is free information that clears all the mystery of diabetes and how our body works . Why three year ago I could eat that melon snd today I shouldn’t . I really shouldn’t . Because we get older and the body stops working . We have to realize that and maybe less amputations. Diabetes is crippling the people and the country . Play this video on repeat. No more crackers no more fruits etc. You as a doctor are a real professor and we are very very Blessed
Wonderful idea. This is more useful than Shakespeare and history!
I've learned more about my body on this channel than anything else I've ever read or watched.
Thank you @zaphodhead1. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
After adopt low carb diet along with intermittent fasting my fasting glucose levels maintain 80 to 100 but sometimes spike to 110. Very informative video thank you for sharing Dr. Ekberg God blessed 🙏.
I have the same problem
This doctor is the best. You have made me understand what diabetes is, the causes and side effects. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes yet I still didn't understand the sickness

This is by far the best explanation I've seen/heard on blood sugar/insulin. I'm type 2 diabetic and have been on a zero starch diet since January 2023. My blood sugar has been coming down gradually, my glucose spikes are now minimal as well as the morning Dawn syndrone.
Thanks for sharing.
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.
@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.
Ozempic has given me side effects and muscle loss. I don't recommend it. I tried some other diabetes meds and they all make me feel sick. I've got alot of work to do to get my health back. Unfortunately I'm tired and finding clean food isn't as easy as it used to be. It's also expensive.
how are you right now?❤Do the A1C come down? I’m also T2 diabetic,been doing keto since July. 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?
Love to start my day with words of wisdom from Dr. Ekberg. Thank you!
Insulin resistance and necessity for keto diet and fasting, explained in the best possible way.
A sincere thank you, doctor Ekberg.
The challenge is how to stay loyal to low carb principles for the rest of our lives.
For sure, knowledge of how our body works, gives us the strength to carry on.
I swore out load several times while watching this video. In my sixties now and am close to furious upon the realization that conventional medicine is failing us in so many ways. I already am someone who is extremely sensitive to and avoids prescription medicines like the plaque - carbs and sugar-filled sweets have been a different story though. The incredibly thorough and clear presentation offered here has blown my mind and may finally be the long lost missing link for me to leave my sugar addiction in the rear view mirror, where it belongs.
This gentleman is a real teacher if ever there was one!! THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom with us!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜💜💪💪☯️☯️

My fasting glucose was 120 with my a1c at 10 last year. i cut out carbs and sugars and it dropped to 100 with an a1c of 6.5 after 3 momths. Now i am at 5.8 a1c with 3 months of intermittent fasting and I'm down 32lb. Still a ways to go but it is possible!
I am pre diabetic, but I'm too thin, skinny. I would like to get rid of diabetes, but I have no longer weight to lose. 😮😮😮
@DihelsonMendonca try a change of diet and add in exercise.
@@DihelsonMendonca The point of maintaining normal blood glucose is a matter of the quality or the type of food you eat. All you have to do if you need to gain weight is eat the same types of foods in larger portions! (registered dietitian nutritionist over 35 years)
@@miriamlandau1207 Thank you so much for your excellent answer. 🙏👍💥❤️
This is the best description of what is going on in diabetics that I have seen. Most interesting to me is the advise on how to exercise. For two years I have been doing it wrongly, lost 50 lbs, but now at normal weight it seems I need to tone back on the intensity.
I'll try that for a month and I'll be back to share the results. I'm 39, 1.72, 83kg and pre diabetic.
Cut out all sugar and carbs, the results will blow you away.. It has worked for me.
To control my diabetes 2 I have never taken the metformin prescribed, instead I started fasting 3 days a week drinking my nutrients and electrolytes, and walking for exercise. When I was diagnose with diabetes 2, I was 157kgs and 6'5" tall. Within 7 months I had dropped my weight to 121kgs and have kept it there since 2018. At 62yrs old I'm feeling good and still walking for exercise and fast 2 days a week... 😂👍🏼
Ah, to be a man, lol. Fasting at all makes things so much worse for most women. That's also why women aren't included in most nutritional studies. Hormonal fluctuations throw off results.
Thank you for the info. May I know if your fasting is 2 or 3 days straight or is it every other day? Ty
Most likely an 18 hour fast 3 days a week . I basically do that every day with a few exceptions . Eating healthy as the gentleman prescribes . Doing very well with this protocol since 2021. Before that always in great shape but the carbs were doing damage . Eg burg and Dr Burg are two of the best in my opinion .
Thanks
Dr Ekberg, you're a blessing to mankind !! Thank u 4 your dedication and committment to help us. Abundant blessings to u Sir !
Dr Ekberg, you have changed my life literally. I now understand how cravings work, as an example. I should have researched these things 30 years ago.
I'm looking forward to your videos on fasting.
You are so right!
10 months ago because I was eating very bad I was a bit insulin resistant but now after 3 months of intermittent fasting my blood sugar came back to your optimal range. Thank you Doc! ❤
Thanks for your personal inspiration. I’m going to do this v
Pls what u did share with us

What a nice comment for the dr.!
NOTIFICATION SQUAD REPORTING IN!
GOOD MORNING HEALTH CHAMPIONS... THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO DR EKBERG!
Thank you @ruschev2 😄
Dr Ekberg, you single handedly set me on a path of healthier lifestyle and changing just about the most important part in my life, how i eat and what i eat. you don't know how profound all the knowledge is that you are spreading and don't get tired of repeating!!! SO MUCH i did not know... thank you so much!!!! from Berlin, Germany
5/31/24...Day 13 without sugar, no carbs, only meat and cottage. Did a short 24 hr fast after day 3, then a 51 hr fast after day 9. I broke my longer fast due to my job being labor intensive, I was dizzy, headaches, diarrhea and just ill.
At day 4 I developed a detox flu, it rivaled some of the worst flu symptoms I've had in 40 years but I truly believe it was detox from the sugar restriction. I am currently doing OMAD, eating 8oz of beef, 8oz of chicken breast and a cup of cottage cheese. I feel phenomenal and pray that my next Dr visit for blood panel in 6 months shows a marked improvement of a1c. I was recently tested and results were 6.6 a1c.
Keep doing what you’re doing. I spiked over 7, almost 8, 4 years ago. I ate only Whole Foods and no sugar added foods. I always test under 5 now.
6.6 ac1 isn't great but it's not that bad either so long as you stay under 7. Also, unfortunately cottage cheese has more sugar than you would believe. Just read the label. There's certain things you can do like whipping cream As a replacement for coffee cream or in recipes requiring milk. (not the stuff in a spray can but the stuff you pour to make whipping cream without sugar. If you look on the nutrition label you'll see that it actually has no sugars in it. So I've used that now as my replacement for dairy because all dairy has naturally occurring sugar.) If you're doing a lot of physically intense activities. Your body will need some carbs. I find that if I know I'm going to have a heavy afternoon of lifting etc. That a very small amount of black beans (preferably not from a can, soaked if you could do it) carrots, basically anything that is a real vegetable with moderate carbs and a low glycemic load. This will keep your sugars from spiking but also keep your energy up as the fiber is super important. Also, this one is absolutely huge for me and got me from a 15 AC One back down to a 7.1 is walking as often as you can after each meal even if it's just for 10 minutes as it gets your metabolism up while also contributing to an overall lowering of not only your blood sugar but your stress hormones which are a major contributor to your blood sugar going up. Good luck! It's not easy
The steak and eggs that my grandparents ate for breakfast makes much more sense when insulin reaction is taken into account. Good video.

That's right 😁

Whenever I watch your videos, I wish all the doctors were same. Instead of giving medicine, they must give explanations , ( teaching) like you. These lessons make me feel a student in some medical school. I find no proper words to Thank you.
Thank you! That’s me exactly! For example, I woke up yesterday and my fasting BG was 113. After I ate breakfast it came down to 87.
Look up the dawn phenomenon.Basically your liver releases glucose to wake you up and get you going.
I just got diagnosed for Diabetes type 2 three days ago... my AC1 level is 16%... It came as a shock, and i absolutely dont want to live on meds😢
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.
Yo estoy en un plan alimenticio con una nutriologa, yo así lo que tu.haces y me dijo que me estaba matando ahora como todo pero pesado. He mejorado bastante
I find that if I have coffee with about 1/8th or 1/4 cup full cream, I am not hungry for hours
Coffee affects me as it does the OP. It makes me feel like my stomach is churning and turbulent for hours. Hot tea is much better.

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--saves band width to read your summary.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate this 😃
Thanks for unique lectures giving to populace
I have huge respect for this guy. Really helps me put things in perspective or something.
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.
I love his teaching style and since 1998 I've been diabetic and tried alot of things including Vegan however I have come to appreicate each person should educate themselves and learn what works for them. Thanks to RUclips we have access to such great teaching, Our doctors visit's are limited to 10 minutes.
Such a great video at summarizing glucose and insulin resistance and how they’re impacted by what we eat! I had started a no-sugar May, and it wasn’t going very well, as I ended up eating sugar 5/2 and 5/3. Yesterday was my first sugar-free day, and this video is exactly what I needed! Thank you, Doctor Ekberg! 💗🙏🏻💗
Zara - Good job on your first day with no sugar at all. What we did was get it out of the house ( and keep it out ), cause we can’t eat what’s not available. Hardest part for most, including us, to remember is that Carb’s turn right into sugar as well ! Yikes. Anyway, all bread, cereal etc,… out the door ! AND, as we just heard the Dr. Say,… even too much protein turns to glucose as well. Soooo,… more exercise (light) and LOTs of non-starchy vegi’s for us. Watch it though on the leafy greens. Many of them are VERY high in oxilates , ( spinach is off there chart ) cause too much will cause/worsen gout and arthritis mainly for those of us that are a bit older. The book I’m reading, “ Complete Idiot’s Guide Anti-Inflammation Cookbook “ talks about having 3 servings of vegi’s at each meal. And to kept/learn many different recipes on how to make the vegi’s so you don’t get board/sick of them. Doing this is a commitment to yourself, but you’re worth it. Am also working on accepting the idea, I won’t be eating out much anymore, aside from “salad & go “ ( here in Phoenix ), which I’ve gone to for a number of years now. **** ( PS, I need to check what Thomas DeLauer would say about not doing intense exercise, since it raises cortisol levels, as the Dr. just mentioned in this vid. Interesting to learn and fit these pieces all together. Good luck all. ) ****
Seed and bean oils are the main cause of insulin resistance because it directly destroys mitochondria. Excessive fructose and sugar also are also negative as Sten says.
Thanks doctor
This is the clearest video I've watched on the subject and I have watched many. Perfect for lay people. I learnt something new with the optimal glucose levels and the gentle exercise advice.
Excellent content. So much suffering could be avoided if everyone knew this information and implemented it in their own lives.
Thank you for making us healthy
The best ever explanation!!!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your knowledge shared to benefit our health. Blessings
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.
Dr, can you tell us how we can get rid of a fatty liver? I was diagnosed with one a year ago when I had my blood work done but nothing else has come from it, but I am trying to do the 30 day challenge of no sugar I appreciate all you’re doing for everyone. Thank you.

Very thankful جزاکم اللہ
Thank you for the information. I went to the doctor and they checked my sugar level and that time I just finished my lunch and the result is 166, the doctor told me that it's already a pre diabetic.
Woman With impeccable lifestyle,Who cooks all her food at home,her only drink is water;finds her self With type 1 diabets at 47 years old !!(With multiple ovarian cycts)please DR explain to me;my respects to all of France.
Most often Type 1 diabetes is the result of an autoimmune event that destroyed the ability to produce beta cells. This is not insuline resistance, it is a lack of insuline.
La diabetes también se adquiere por exceso de estrés, preocupaciones
Check her progesterone levels! Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, and this type of problem is common in m3nopause, and perimenopause.
I was unsure about the definition of Insulin Resistance, but now I understand. Thank You.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen or listen to a better teacher than you. I use your information religiously and I pass it on as well, thank you so much
No matter how much I think I know on a specific health topic I always learn new information watching your videos. For example, I didn’t realize that muscles don’t require insulin to uptake glucose during ‘soft exercise’. I find this makes going for a walk after a meal even more motivating 😊
He's quite opposite. Repeating same thing again and again.
I find that 25 minutes of fast walk gives me the lowest number, if I walk more my glucose starts to go up again. I can go from 180 to 73 if I observe this rule. Your body might be different, your meter is key to understand these things.
That makes absolutely no sense and I never heard any doctor saying too much exercise is no good for blood sugar
@@fishydubsfishing6516 It's very simple, during exercise when your glucose goes too low, the liver starts to create glucose so you don't faint, in a healthy body this works great because together with the pancreas things stay balanced but if you are insulin resistant or a diabetic, the liver over shoots and you might end up with even higher glucose then before you started the exercise. So if you are 100% healthy go for as much exercise as you wish but if you are diabetic and want to lower your post meal numbers limited exercise will result in better glucose numbers.
I believe it is called the contraction mediated pathway. You will find numerous papers on the subject on PubMed. Basically, as Dr Ekberg states, even moderate exercise allows your muscles to accept blood sugar without insulin. This gives your pancreas a much-needed break from suppressing blood glucose.
take away: fewer meals, gentle exercise, very low carbs
Danke!
Thank You @Strathom1 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Fantastic video. This should be taught in school.
Děkuji pane doktore,za nastavení českých titulků.😊❤
I am so thankful that my part time involves me standing all day and doing manual work. Sometimes there’s some lifting; most times it’s light work. I only sit down when I eat my meal (which is a salad with salmon, no carbs 😊) in my lunch break. I was so unfit when I had a desk job.
I like having a physical job as well. I work at the grocery store. I lift a lot of boxes, and squat and reach stocking groceries on the shelves. I genuinely feel bad for the people I see all day pushing around carts full of junk food (or riding a motorized cart). I used to feel extremely judgmental but now I mostly feel grateful because, but for the grace of God, that would be me.
Excelente!!! Es la mejor explicación que he escuchado, clara, concisa y también importante para todos sin excepción, mil gracias, bendiciones.
This is, by FAR, the BEST description out there of this topic. Thank you!

I am a filipino nurse, and when a friend told me that he completely doesn't take his metformin because he doesn't like the side effects and he is a prediabetic... I took his sugar and it was 133 prior to the new non-pharm tx,,, He is 55 yo. I told him to take this AMPALAYA TEA everyday when he gets home which is around 5pm -6pm cos. I prefer him to take it at this time to prevent from getting up for bathroom so promote rest at night. After 1 week i think it was when I saw him again I tested his sugar and it was 83... and he didn't change his diet. only advice I gave him was do not consume more carbs than he normally does. Next time when I see him I will also take his BP. I wasn't worried about his bp going down cos he tend to be borderline on his BP... In which the tea will also help reduce BP.

excellent explanation...... with diagrams.....visuals are SO important to help explain this very complicated topic.
One of the best explanations I have heard so far. I have switched to a ketogenic diet months ago to prevent diabetes as all of my family has it…I am the only one in my family who doesn’t, but I have always watched what I eat…I find the keto lifestyle much easier to sustain and I don’t think about food like I did on the low fat diet. I am 5 ft tall so I really have to watch what goes into my body. I don’t need to lose weight, but Keto way of eating is just easier as I can gain very easily. An added benefit is my tummy issues are all gone…I haven’t had an IBS flare up since I switched …yay. ☺️

My endocrine system broke due to bad choices at Thanksgiving dinner in 2010. I became debilitatingly hypoglycemic and seemed to be "allergic" to carbs. It took me 3 years with a lot of suffering to get my system working more normally again. I was warned by a doctor that I'd probably become diabetic years down the road. And, yep, now I'm running high instead of too low.
My mom started off with hypoglycemia in her 30s and then became a bad type 2 diabetic later because she kept eating junk. :-( Now she is in horrible health at 80.
