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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
I dealt with blood sugar problems for years, always feeling fatigued and off. I tried different diets and remedies, but nothing worked. Then I found a simple solution that actually helped! My energy came back, and I finally felt like myself again. I can’t post it here but it's on my channel
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
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.
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???
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.
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!
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
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 .
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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. 😄
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?

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.
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 🙏.
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.
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! ❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 UA-cam we have access to such great teaching, Our doctors visit's are limited to 10 minutes.
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.
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
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
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. ☺️
Optimal fasting BG 80-90; after 30 minutes 90-110; after 2-3 hrs 80-90 Causes of high BG ~ food intake (carbs - processed /sugar/HFCS /starch) (excess protein) ~insulin resistance (cells resisting moving sugar from bloodstream into cells which results In higher blood sugar) Insulin resistance can be reversed How to lower High BG ~lower insulin ~stop eating sugar ~reduce carbs (all carbs turn in to sugar) You may eat leafy greens and non starchy vegetables ~eat fewer meals ~gentle exercise uses fat intense exercise raises cortisol uses glucose results in cravings
What does excess protien mean? Because I'm doing waterfast cycling,72 hours water+lmnt+multivitamin only, followed by a feed day, eating one meal on this feed day, at 12 in the afternoon. The meal consisting of 85:15 ground beef, adjusted to get 1gram of protien per cm of height.
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.
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.
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 UA-cam. Thank you for posting this. I learned a lot!
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 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.
If you don’t get your stress under control you’ll still have a problem with glucose control. You never talk about that. I relatively eat lower carbs and I still got pre-diabetes. Once I practiced stress reduction exercises pre-diabetes stopped. And I eat starch but not all the time. It’s about moderation for food, excercise, and stess. Period. Oh yeah and genetics.
You're right. I am very very stressed all the time. I think I may die any moment from stress. I am pre diabetic or diabetic already too. I have a terrible illness on my eyes due to cortisol: Central serous retinopathy, for 16 years. I'm almost blind. There's no good treatment, but to end stress. But how to get rid of stress ??? 😮😮😮
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)
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.
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.
Finally, someone that knows the subject matter well enough to explain it to the people who need to understand it. Great information, thank you very much!
Intense exercise gives alot more cortisol. Combine this with most people already having high cortisol due to stress, anxiety and bad food choices. You're just overloading your system and it will got haywire. Adrenaline fatigue is also real. Alot of people go from one extreme to another without even realising it. Like a fat couch potato going for a marathon training. Just go 30min walking after every meal is already great. Consistency is key. Ease into the changes is important, not shock the body. Extreme fasting can help some people, but I would not recommand it to everyone. Since extreme fasting will also increase cortisol.
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.

Hi to Poland, I’m of Polish ethnicity - first generation. My parents came to America from Poland when they were very young. I hope to visit Poland in the future, a two week trip. Good luck with controlling your blood sugar. ❤
This was very helpful. One of the best on this topic. I have a couple of questions - 1. what is your take on plant based sugar substitutes for people with diabetes? 2. What would lead to high fasting blood sugar (above 140) but medium A1C (around 5.8)? Would be great to have videos covering these topics. Again thank you.
Respected Sir, I have just come across your channel. I just wanna state that your videos are well prepared and the way you present the topic with all those visual graphics combined with your professional expertise is par excellence. I really appreciate your endeavors and I feel lucky to have found your channel. Keep it up and stay blessed.
I am immensely grateful for all of your videos! They helped me transform my life! On July 6th, I learned that I had Type 2 Diabetes. My A1C was 10.7. On October 12th, I met again with my doctor and she told me that my new A1C score was 4.7… and I’m no longer diabetic!!! The doctor told me that she had never before seen such a dramatic A1C drop over a 3 month period. By the way, I have also lost 50 lbs in the last 3 months. I still have a ways to go on my weight loss journey, but I can’t thank you enough for showing me the path! One of the things that I appreciate the most about your videos is that you breakdown the science, which makes your advice even more compelling.
I stay low carb. But I do incorporate a little sweet potatoe with ribeye after a long run. I use banana before my runs. Timing of carb intake matters as well. I am 50 yrs old & blood pressure hovers around 111 over 65. Resting heart rate 47 bpm. I want to stay very active & 1 ingredient real carb foods help with that.
Cells resisting excess sugars and becoming insulin resistant - 'PLEASE BACK OFF, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. Love this and will remember, thank you Dr Ekberg - total overwhelm - lets look after ourselves ❤
Thank you Dr!!!! I was off meds and started noticing that my A1c, even fasting number were so high. With you're expertise I have learned and will beat this

0:00 - What is normal

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.

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.

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???
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! ❤❤
There are videos on UA-cam 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.
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!

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.

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.

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.

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. 😄
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?

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.

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
You are so right!

3months! Thanks for mentioning the timeframe!
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.
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.
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.
wow! well done!
Great
Can You explain more about your diet and your daily routine ?
could you elaborate what you did to improve?
@@Con67no added sugar. Have non-processed food, vegetable , fruit, meat, dairy, nuts,
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.
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
I salute Dr Sten Ekberg and Dr Jason Fung for their services to humanity.

Two REAL Doctors !
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 UA-cam we have access to such great teaching, Our doctors visit's are limited to 10 minutes.
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.
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.

great video. I would add #6... stop snacking between meals and late at night
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.
If your blood sugar is high
Should you eat
Less.but take
Your required
Amount of insulin.❤
The steak and eggs that my grandparents ate for breakfast makes much more sense when insulin reaction is taken into account. Good video.
100%
That's right 😁
Its the extra Crap - just stay whole food no processed food at all ,

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
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.
Hi, what is Ampalaya tea? Could u tell its latin name?
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. ☺️
Optimal fasting BG 80-90; after 30 minutes 90-110; after 2-3 hrs 80-90
Causes of high BG
~ food intake (carbs - processed /sugar/HFCS /starch)
(excess protein)
~insulin resistance (cells resisting moving sugar from bloodstream into cells which results In higher blood sugar)
Insulin resistance can be reversed
How to lower High BG
~lower insulin
~stop eating sugar
~reduce carbs (all carbs turn in to sugar)
You may eat leafy greens and non starchy vegetables
~eat fewer meals
~gentle exercise uses fat
intense exercise raises cortisol uses glucose results in cravings
What does excess protien mean? Because I'm doing waterfast cycling,72 hours water+lmnt+multivitamin only, followed by a feed day, eating one meal on this feed day, at 12 in the afternoon. The meal consisting of 85:15 ground beef, adjusted to get 1gram of protien per cm of height.
He spoke briefly about protein that you eat but don’t need can be turned into glucose. This was fairly close to the beg of the video I believe.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD REPORTING IN!
GOOD MORNING HEALTH CHAMPIONS... THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO DR EKBERG!
Thank you @ruschev2 😄
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.
What a nice comment for the dr.!
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.
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 UA-cam. Thank you for posting this. I learned a lot!
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.
The best ever explanation!!!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your knowledge shared to benefit our health. Blessings
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.
Dr Ekberg is One of the BEST ! He Explains the Science of Health Very Clearly.
If you don’t get your stress under control you’ll still have a problem with glucose control. You never talk about that. I relatively eat lower carbs and I still got pre-diabetes. Once I practiced stress reduction exercises pre-diabetes stopped. And I eat starch but not all the time. It’s about moderation for food, excercise, and stess. Period. Oh yeah and genetics.
What channel do I need to look at to achieve what you are achieving?
You're right. I am very very stressed all the time. I think I may die any moment from stress. I am pre diabetic or diabetic already too. I have a terrible illness on my eyes due to cortisol: Central serous retinopathy, for 16 years. I'm almost blind. There's no good treatment, but to end stress. But how to get rid of stress ??? 😮😮😮

@@bryanbeeman5256stress made hormones cortisol higher, then your body will crave sugar.

Sir , Your videos must be watched by all medical students 🙏
Thank you for making us healthy
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. 🙏👍💥❤️
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.
Excellent content. So much suffering could be avoided if everyone knew this information and implemented it in their own lives.
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.
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'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.
Finally, someone that knows the subject matter well enough to explain it to the people who need to understand it. Great information, thank you very much!
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
But don't mention that to diabetics.
Yes but it's not easy
Give up sugars, carbohydrates and processed packaged foods. Keto, Paleo or Carnivore way of eating are your best choices@@larryd6991
Intense exercise gives alot more cortisol. Combine this with most people already having high cortisol due to stress, anxiety and bad food choices. You're just overloading your system and it will got haywire. Adrenaline fatigue is also real. Alot of people go from one extreme to another without even realising it. Like a fat couch potato going for a marathon training. Just go 30min walking after every meal is already great. Consistency is key. Ease into the changes is important, not shock the body. Extreme fasting can help some people, but I would not recommand it to everyone. Since extreme fasting will also increase cortisol.
Kalau gula darah 205 apa yang harus dilakukan ? Apakah harus minum obat ? Terimakasih 🙏
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
By far the best video of explaining blood sugar. Love your work Dr Ekberg. Thank you for all your fantastic educational videos.
This is, by FAR, the BEST description out there of this topic. Thank you!
As a medical Dr I recommend your lectures. They are based very accurately on Biochemistry and physiology. Respect
Czy jest możliwość by były też napisy w polskim języku? Komentarze jedynie są automatycznie tłumaczone ale to zajmuje dużo czasu, a zależy mi bardzo na treści filmu.

Hi to Poland, I’m of Polish ethnicity - first generation. My parents came to America from Poland when they were very young. I hope to visit Poland in the future, a two week trip. Good luck with controlling your blood sugar. ❤
This was very helpful. One of the best on this topic.
I have a couple of questions -
1. what is your take on plant based sugar substitutes for people with diabetes?
2. What would lead to high fasting blood sugar (above 140) but medium A1C (around 5.8)?
Would be great to have videos covering these topics.
Again thank you.

Respected Sir, I have just come across your channel. I just wanna state that your videos are well prepared and the way you present the topic with all those visual graphics combined with your professional expertise is par excellence. I really appreciate your endeavors and I feel lucky to have found your channel. Keep it up and stay blessed.
I am immensely grateful for all of your videos! They helped me transform my life! On July 6th, I learned that I had Type 2 Diabetes. My A1C was 10.7. On October 12th, I met again with my doctor and she told me that my new A1C score was 4.7… and I’m no longer diabetic!!! The doctor told me that she had never before seen such a dramatic A1C drop over a 3 month period. By the way, I have also lost 50 lbs in the last 3 months. I still have a ways to go on my weight loss journey, but I can’t thank you enough for showing me the path! One of the things that I appreciate the most about your videos is that you breakdown the science, which makes your advice even more compelling.
What did you do to drop your a1c
Yes what did you do to drop your insulin
What did you do to drop in three months?
Thanks Dr. Ekberg for sharing your knowledge with us. Your explanations are the best 😊
I stay low carb. But I do incorporate a little sweet potatoe with ribeye after a long run. I use banana before my runs. Timing of carb intake matters as well. I am 50 yrs old & blood pressure hovers around 111 over 65. Resting heart rate 47 bpm. I want to stay very active & 1 ingredient real carb foods help with that.
Most people are not active anymore like they were 50 years ago.
@@martinepeters9891 And unlike 50 years ago, people eat much more fake food. HFCS did not exist 50 years ago.
