I've been pre diabetic for several years. I started Keto in June. I just had blood work done and my doctor was amazed. I am no longer pre diabetic. My triglycerides are also down. Yay for me!
Absolutely right, no question or doubt about it. It contains information that even Doctors have never heard of or bothered to find out after graduation 🎓
I did; No Potatoes No Rice No Bread No Pasta No Sugar for six weeks....my resting glucose went from 135 to 97. Haven't had my A1C checked but will do in a few months. I feel so good.
@@lisaharris102 I do use a sugar substitute, even a brown sugar substitute to make a toffee chocolate desert. But NO...I def don't go without....I'm weak. I can't do without dessert. I use swerve. I gotta check the cabinet to see what wife uses mostly....but I think its mostly swerve. I checked my sugar spike on some to find what worked well. An fyi....My favorite desset is mixed berries with a strawberry cream cheese poured over and some whip cream....I think carbs are below 12 on a serving.
I’m a grown man and I just got told by my doctor that I am pre diabetic and you have lifted a very heavy weight off me and I’m not going to lie I’m crying but out of relief thank you.. so so much your truly a great person thank you.
I was prediabetic two years ago. Got serious about my health, implemented much of your advice (among others), and lost 80 pounds and all my labs are perfect now. I was told my entire life it was hereditary when it was really just family eating habits passed down generations. Boggles my mind in retrospect.
@@TropiChic Hello Ernestina, I am closer to 30g a day. More worried about avoiding processed anything and rarely eat fruit or grains. I do love the occasional banana with some peanut butter though. Most of the carbs I do get are from veggies or just small amounts of sugar in things like cottage cheese.
I was 226 5 months ago with those symptoms. Changed my diet to Keto and I eat once or twice a day then fast at least 18 hours. I now way 176 pounds and feel much better. I do 4 simple exercises 4 times a week. 100 pushups, 100 leg lifts, 100 curls and I walk 1.5 miles at 3mph on treadmill. Less than an hour a day. I only shop the outside isles and the spice isle at the grocery store. The rest is poison.
I’m crying because this video and majority of your videos have helped me Today than all the doctors over the last 8 years. I wish I had come upon you years ago. May God help me reverse my symptoms/conditions.
A few years ago I was borderline diabetic now I have a 4.7 A1C ... Not to mention I feel energy after I eat lunch. Your knowledge is so advanced and appreciated. We love you Dr. Berg. Thank you for everything!!!
@@anthonymitchell4618 I was at a 5.7 . It took me a while. I don't recall exact time frame. I wanna say it was over a year though. But I'm guessing . I didn't keep tabs of the time because it was taking such a long time. I quit checking my blood sugars for a over a year. Then when I started checking it again a few months ago is when I made the discovery. So it happened somewhere along the way. I also notice my body is getting toned up again too. It's like my muscles stopped responding at one point and now they are coming back. It was a long hard fight...many times I literally felt like I was starving to death and the cravings for sugar was so unreal.... then one day it just stopped and I didn't crave or want sugar at all. But I still do eat my honey. It's a good honey source though I eat it with organic natural peanut butter. I'm thinking about quitting eating those too. Sorry info isn't too informative. I can tell you what I did and how I did it though if that helps any.
@@EpicWarDog Were you overweight/obesed prior to the diagnosis? If so, did you end up losing weight to bring your A1C down? Perhaps fasting or exercise? Low carb?
Not. It didn't cross my mind. Personally I think that this is the true pandemic. Not the other one. I struggle with sugar and he make the cycle perfectly clear. I have to take action.
I’m now low carb and intermittent fasting. I feel so much better. I’m not losing a lot of weight but I’m trimming down. I’m so glad that I’m not hungry and not going to the bathroom all the time.
@@yashjain3cooldude if he saves lives through these views then more power to him. He could have kept all this info and charge you $$$ to purchase it and become a billionaire like pharmaceutical companies.
@@dejed1349 those might just be helpful indeed of cos he can take D3 and K2 to scrub off the calcium deposits from the arteries and fasting makes him recover faster!! they dont teach these in high school not even medical school
Exceptional explanation, he can really make even the most complex concept look simple and easy to understand. Really important when it comes to diabetes and prediabetes. So many people could be saved just with a better prevention! So thank you very much Dr. Berg for raising the awareness!
I have to agree with you Katherine. My late husband passed away from complications from diabetes & my brother passed away from heart disease which I feel like diabetes had a play in that too. Neither one’s doctors ever explained diabetes to me the way Dr Berg has explained it!! Such a great knowledgeable Doctor!
I never understood insulin resistance until I started watching Dr. Berg videos. Now that I understand it better I can make changes to make me healthier.
I’ve been in pre diabetic range for a little over a year and until just now after watching this I didn’t fully understand what I was dealing with or going up against. It made perfect sense once you broke that down. Thank you so much for this.
I was overweight and my doctor raised the alarm about my blood sugar levels. I was at 5.6. Did some research and discovered I was eating a lot of carbs and sugar, and, that my body can burn fat as fuel instead of carbs (keto). So I marginalized the foods that piled on the carbs and sugars and switched to fatty foods for energy. Didn't eat less, just changed what I ate. I lost 35 pounds and I'm at my ideal weight for my size, and my blood sugar levels are just fine at 5.1. There was no effort to this. The pounds just fell off. The strangest thing that I didn't expect is that I'm perfectly satisfied now at eating one meal per day with a bit of a fatty snack thrown in just for the fun of it. Dr Berg is right on. Listen to him. I feel 20 years younger which is pretty good considering I'm 60. One thing you should accept if you want to be healthy: don't follow the federal recommendations for a balanced diet. That's what got me into trouble in the first place.
What kind of food did you eat could you give me an example of what you did I'm working on going on a keto diet and start going to the gym my doctor said my A1C is 6.1 and my blood sugar is 111. I need to change my diet and get back to being active like I was before
Dr. Berg, you are a LIFESAVER! I started on my health journey with keto and IF because in December 2018, my fasting blood glucose was 123, its highest ever. My weight was also at my highest ever, 274 pounds. Everything you just shared in this video was ME. I have been following your advice for over 17 months now, and I am now at 144 pounds as of yesterday! I wish I would have known about keto and IF and all you've shared about insulin many years earlier. It certainly would have helped me possibly not even get to the point I was with my health. I love your phrase, "You have to get healthy to lose the weight..." So true.... I hope people who watched this video who are new to keto and your teaching watch this over and over again to really understand what's behind their constant hunger and overeating. Thank YOU for all you do! I feel amazing at age 52 and can't believe how good I look and feel today because of your guidance!
I have a normal A1C and an elevated fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance, as told by a high C-peptide test and a physical examination. My endocrinologist diagnosed me as prediabetic. I’ve made a lot of lifestyle changes since then, which include a low carb diet, intermittent fasting and regular exercise. I’m already down 40 pounds, and hoping to reach my first weight loss goal by March. You do important work! Thank you! 🙏🏾
@@toysandcandy3478 Hi! Dr. Berg has tons of videos about intermittent fasting on his channel! It has a lot of great health benefits, especially for individuals trying to get insulin levels down. I do 16:8 fasting, basically I fast for 16 hrs and my eating window is 8 hrs. I start eating at noon and stop eating by 8pm. I usually eat twice a day, no snacking. Hope that helps!
I stayed on the no sugar an virtually no carb diet for four months (124 days). My H1c dropped from 5.9 (pre-diabetes) to 5.2 (normal). It is an awful diet (no bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, pizza, desserts, soups with any of the prior ingredients, or fruits. Yet, it did work for me. I hated every minute but it kicks ass.
@@arsalammsamm8667the sooner you get this thing under control, the better off you’ll be. It really is very simple (not easy though). Cut out processed foods, if it’s in a box or a bag, just take a pass. You should take in healthy carbs, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and low carb fruit like berries (strawberries and raspberries) are healthy carbs. Take in enough fat and protein (red meat, chicken , fish, nuts, cheese, yogurt are good sources) to satisfy your hunger and don’t eat when you’re not hungry. Stay away from breaded fish and chicken. You could implement time restricted eating (intermittent fasting) and that can speed up progress. You have to be prepared to live this way most days. I have birthday cake at celebrations, but my everyday meal plan does not include processed food or many high carb foods especially added sugars. No bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, cookies , cakes, pies, biscuits, tortillas, cereal, granola, none of that. Also nix the sugary drinks. Water or unsweetened tea (coffee if you’re not caffeine sensitive) are your drinks of choice. I’ve heard some Dr.s talk about artificial sweeteners being very questionable with regard to impact on insulin levels as well as the creation of sugar cravings. I don’t indulge. Do your research and make your own decision. Sometimes we need a crutch before we go cold turkey. But in the interest of saving your health and quality of life, it’s great that you’re exploring now about ways to decrease insulin resistance. Good luck on your journey! Oh also how do I know? Lost 86lbs in 12 months and a1c down from 13 to 5.9 as of February this year. It can be done. Don’t worry and don’t give up!
@@arsalammsamm8667forgot to say going for walks has also helped. Start getting active. A 30 minute walk is a good place to start if you are capable. If you can’t do 30 start smaller and build. Just start. It’s incredibly helpful.
Can you list foods that you ate and that would be considered non sugar forming foods. I am looking to adopt a healthy eating lifestyle. I would truly appreciate it.
I'm not sure if you'll ever read this comment Dr. Berg but I just wanted to let you and know that you've made a massive positive impact in my life, and I can't even put into words the amount of appreciation I have for you. Thank you sir. Your videos are easy to understand and I have learned more in the past few weeks watching your videos than I have in my collective 49 years and that would include 6 years of university. You would think that critical information like this would be mandatory and squeezed-in somewhere within 20 years of school without studying to be a doctor.
The big terms sir and appreciate and I / You (with capital letter) only reflect me the superior being and the only being appreciation is meant for & my pure protectors aka the alphas aka the only sir / mr / lord / prince / king etc, and such terms cannot be misused by hum’ns, and must be edited out, and pronouns can never be with capital letter when referring to oneself / other hum’ns - all hum’ns are the exact opposite of sir / compIiments / other big terms implying superiority and purity etc, and promoting impsts by big term misuse is a harrible zyn!!!
It’s not eating sugar / carbs that causes diabetes - it’s the consumption of sakryIegyuz products (meats / dairy / eggs etc) that causes pre-diabetes or diabetes, which is why it’s always those eating non-plant-based diets that get it! In fact, it’s even been shown that animaI fat / animaI protein are what cause insulin resistance and make one’s body lose its natural ability to make the sugar levels go back to normal after consuming dietary sugar! I ate more sugar / sweets / carbs than anyone, and my bIood sugar has always been around 80 to 83 or 84, and the last time I checked (about one or two months ago) it was very low around 70 as I hadn’t eaten anything for 16+ hours before the test, as the body runs on sugar and carbs and has the ability to make the sugar levels go back to normal no matter how much dietary sugar and carbs are consumed! I am going to send my bIood to the lab next week, so that I know for sure if I have any risk of getting pre-diabetes and to find out if I have any deficiencies and any cancers and any other issues! I also had some tests done to check if I have any bacteria / fungi etc in my saliva / nose / sweat and intimate areas, and they said everything is perfectly normal and there are no pathogens in or on my body! And now I have to get my bIood tested too, just to be sure, even though I am pretty sure I don’t have anything and it doesn’t even feel like I have something, plus I cannot even remember the last time I had a cold or a fever, as my immunity has been extremely strong over the past 11+ years!
Sugar isn’t the cause of diabetes, and even though sugar / sweets can definitely irritate the nerves of the teeth and can cause toothache esp when consumed in excess and even though trying to chew on extremely hard candy can definitely cause a tooth (esp a tooth that had an existing cavity since childhood) to break, it doesn’t cause new cavities and it doesn’t make existing cavities get any worse - so, these are two of the main misconceptions re sugar / sweets, and the true cause of diabetes is animaI protein / animaI fat, while dairy is the main cause of new cavities forming and existing cavities getting worse, and I even noticed the worst tooth issues during the 1 or 2 years when I consumed a lot of dairy, which made my teeth move and the cavities got worse, yet after I ditched all dairy and all other animaI ingredients, I haven’t noticed any new cavities forming and even the existing cavities stayed the same over the past 11+ years and my teeth haven’t moved at all since then!
Even through nursing school and all kinds of biology, anatomy and physiology classes that I have taken, I’m still learning a lot from you. I’m learning from the school of YT. You’re the best teacher 😊
The big causative factor for me has been high levels of cortisol, from unavoidable stressors, years of disrupted sleep as a carer with no support. The dietary problems weren't really there, however intermittent fasting has been extremely helpful and I'm recovering. Way better than I was and better all the time.
Yeah sleep deprivation and caring are right up there with the top stressors such as bereavement and divorce and akin to prison of war torture and can take their toll on your body and it's internal balance. Good to hear your health is on the up.
I was so busy when I was younger that either I would forget or never even have time to eat. I ate once, maybe twice a day and not much. Everyone said that was bad for my health but looking back, that was when I felt the best and had the most energy. Also had chickens in my farm so eggs were a main part of my diet. Watching your videos, I now know why I’m not feeling as well today. Thank you!
My daughter was pre diabetic ( my whole family are ) but she reversed it in one year with keto diet ! Her A1C is under 6 and her fasting sugar is under 90 in the morning with out help of any pills 💊
Wow!! That’s amazing my A1c is 5.6 and I want to lower it and get retested in 6 months. I’m a little nervous but I love reading all the positive comments.
@@Ummkelechi remember keto would really work ! Stay away from vegetables like potatoes and peas and stick to good one broccoli cauliflower celery even carrots if not too much and all the greens! I make stew meat or chicken with all this and lots kale and spinach green onion lot fresh lemons . I promise you it will works 😏
I had every symptom on that list and I’ve had it for 10 years and not one damn doctor has told me to do anything different until recently I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and pre-diabetes but they still didn’t tell me to do anything different except for cut the salt out so I turn to you and did keto and I feel like 1 million bucks I feel it changing thank you so much ! Im doing strict clean keto ! It’s awesome and it works
This is so painful and scary to watch knowing what I was doing to my body😭......I'm now pre-diabetic and 42 years old so I desperately need this information.....changes are definitely coming and I'm subscribing and applying all of your advice for these changes! Thank you sir! 😊
I have been looking for answers for more than a year. I took blood sugars tests, etc and nobody could explain why do I have tingling in my feet and twitching on my face. I have changed my diet and started fasting and all the symptoms have improved in the same week!!!
I was just diagnosed with pre- diabetes at first of the year and I'm on journey to correct it. Low carbs and exercise along with intermittent fasting is already working !
4 months ago I started suffering from hyperglycemia. My blood sugar was 285 and my A1C was 10.8. I found Dr. Bergs TH-cam videos, started intermittent fasting (2 meals a day) and cut carbs and sugar. 3 months later my blood sugar hovers around 90-5 and my A1C is 5.8. I also lost 27 pounds. I no longer crave sweets and have way more energy. Figure I’ll be another 25 pounds lighter by end of year. Thank you Dr. Berg, your videos truly changed my life.
@David Howell That's amazing! Congratulations! I will share this with Dr. Berg! Is it okay with you if we post your success story on Dr. Berg's website? Please let us know as we would love to share your success with others! Dr. Berg's Support Team.
@@Drberg feel free to post. I’ve done pretty much every fad diet in last 30 years. Dr. Berg’s videos really explained what is happening and why, giving me the ammunition to fight back. Again, big thanks to Dr. Berg.
I had those symptoms. Went to my Dr today and they did the A1C test and sure enough I’m in the pre diabetic stage. I know what to do to reverse it. Thank you !
I'm pre diabetic, but thanks to Dr. Berg I'm doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting (18 hrs fasting). My weight is normalizing, my inflammation is almost non-existent, I've been able to stop most meds and my thinking ability is much better too. Danke Sehr Dr. Berg! 💚

Also, keto is one of the most unhtst diets, and losing weight is not an indication of hth - keto diets cause weight loss, yet cause serious hth issues, which is a known fact! The proper way to lose weight in a normal way is by eating a plant-based diet with less fats and less calories than the calories consumed, and one would think all doctors and all nutritionists would have been taught these facts by now, yet misinfo is still the main things that’s being taught to most doctors and nutritionists - It’s calories in vs calories out for the most part, and consuming less calories from fat! However, one can still do a keto diet on a plant-based diet if one really wants to eat such a diet!
...it’s animaI products one should not be consuming, not carbs - the body runs on glucose / carbs, and it’s beyond unhthy to not give the body its normal energy source, and all that get diabetes are ppl that eat animal products and high animaI fat / high animaI protein / low carb diets!
Sugar isn’t the cause of diabetes, and even though sugar / sweets can definitely irritate the nerves of the teeth and can cause toothache esp when consumed in excess and even though trying to chew on extremely hard candy can definitely cause a tooth (esp a tooth that had an existing cavity since childhood) to break, it doesn’t cause new cavities and it doesn’t make existing cavities get any worse - so, these are two of the main misconceptions re sugar / sweets, and the true cause of diabetes is animaI protein / animaI fat, while dairy is the main cause of new cavities forming and existing cavities getting worse, and I even noticed the worst tooth issues during the 1 or 2 years when I consumed a lot of dairy, which made my teeth move and the cavities got worse, yet after I ditched all dairy and all other animaI ingredients, I haven’t noticed any new cavities forming and even the existing cavities stayed the same over the past 11+ years and my teeth haven’t moved at all since then!
I did the same; Been getting back to keto and IF and walking. In 1 week I had more energy and am so much happier! Just the help I needed to keep going!
Thank you Dr Berg for the excellent explanation. I have been cutting out the carbs and doing intermittent fasting for only 1 week and already it is getting easier and I am feel Great !
The best doctor on TH-cam, without a shadow of a doubt. Straight to the point with deep knowledge explained simply to the mass audience. Keep up the extraordinary work.
Thank you, I had to do my own research years ago before I was ever diagnosed and request I be tested. You are helping alot of people change and save their lives. I tell people dialysis should not be a goal in life.
My reaction during this video first few secs/mins 1.ANXIETY, PANIC do i have it since i have one of the symptoms n family history 2.ACCEPTANCE that ive not had the best eating habits 3. REALIZATION that i need to change whatever habits to avoid diabetes. Dr Berg is amazing, i feel like im attending a lecture n just focused on his cool calm voice n inspiring me to adopt a healthier lifestyle.Dr.Berg, you are Changing Lives !! 😀
How can I say Thank You in a very meaningful way? I'm not good at writing my thoughts, but you made me understand that I've been damaging my body for years and years ! I'm 74 and 250 lbs. After 2 heart attacks, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, AND more ailments... I now realize I've been 'treating' myself to a slow painful 'premature' death. Your explanations are so down to earth that even I can understand. Thank you for education! 'No carbs', here I come! My desire is to safely get off the metformin, lisinopril, metatoprolol, Crestor, etc.
My friends and family members thinks I'm smart but I really just watch Dr Bergs videos because he breaks it down for me to understand I then break it down to my friends, now they think I'm a guru, hahahaha!!!
I had Covid Pneumonia and was hospitalized for twelve days. Before being admitted to the hospital, I was not overweight and walked 6-8 miles a day for work. My labs results show I'm pre-diabetic Glucose 5.8 A1C 109. I immediately cut out all refined sugar and carbs. Changed my diet to Paleo and started walking again. Finding you on TH-cam was a blessing. Thank you for all the information.
Dang! This sort of stuff (simplified) should be taught at the public/high school level. I'm now 89, probably very near the Type 2 to Type 1 stage. Different family doctors over the years NEVER talked about this sort of thing. Even when I told them about tingling in the feet and lower legs at 60 years old. All they did was take my blood sugar which was 5.9 and say there was nothing wrong with me and didn't know what the tingling was all about. Knowing what I know now, I swear to God these medical doctors are in cahoots with Big Pharma.
In four months my A1C went from 6.8 to 5.7...I also lost 28 lbs and watched my diet!!! I added B1 and other B vitamins...! And am thankful for your videos..
I have all those symptoms, except tingling feet. I began last week with some changes and already the urination has become less severe. The constant, painful hunger has completely disappeared. I'm sleeping better and getting up earlier and more refreshed. I also lost about 5 lbs, whether fluid or fat. Looking forward to getting rid of the poor memory and brain fog.
I need to make a lot of changes, I've been prediabetic for about 20+ years. My blood sugar this week have been 120 on Monday 29 May 2023, 130 on Thur 1 Jun 2023 and 130 on Fri 2 on 2023. A lot of the things you said in the video I have. My brother was diabetic and long story short, he passed away from a stroke at the age of 66. I'm 66 yrs old now. So starting today, I will try to make changes in my eating habits. Glad I checked out your video, thank you.
Again, thank you so much for this explanation! I recently had pre diabetes results. I started keto, have done intermittent fasting for years but more diligently now and feeling so much better.
His videos are life changing. Should be taught in schools. I have been fasting for over a year now and have no desire to snack. Rather than losing weight, I look more leaner and less ‘round’ Cutting carb is still a challenge but I’m ploughing on Thank you so much for this wealth of health information
THANK YOU for making it easy to understand!! I was told I am pre diabetic. NOW, I understand what I need to do to prevent full blown diabetes!! So far I don’t have many of the indicators. Your video was just in time for me.
I wish I had watched this video last year. Now I understand all my symptom and I am going to watch this video many many times more to motivate me do the keto diet. Thank you very much!
Outstanding Video!! I started following your channel 2 months ago and in the last 3 weeks I started following your Intermittent Fasting and OMAD with Keto, my blood sugar went from the high 100's to 80 - 94 consistently and I've dropped 20lbs so far with a combination of just walking and fasting... Unreal how this has impacted me, my wife thought something was wrong, so I went to my doctor, and he said everything looks great. I'm very grateful for your help and those who you have helped. Well done sir!!
I realize that this video came out a year ago. But, I am SO glad it is still showing up because the past 18 months has changed a lot of people's living habits in ways that are NOT conducive to preventing diabetes. (Less excercise, more snacking, less social interaction, more emotional stress and depression.) I really appreciate the way you have of explaining very important and complicated information. Genetically I have always been at high risk for developing diabetes and have tried to do what I can to reduce that risk. But the past 18 months and everything that has been going on has really done a number on me. Now for the first time in a long time I feel empowered to fight the good fight again! Thank you, for that!
Thank you, Dr. Berg ❤ You are like a real life super hero 🦸 We thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving us the tools to live long lives with our children and family. You explain everything with great detail without being too overwhelming to understand. Straight to the point. God bless you, sir 🙏🏾 ❤
I had a life change I went A1C 8.9 to 5.4 to 5.6 and then last was a 5.4. I changed my diet to keto, doing intermittent fasting started taking supplement Berberine and I’ve dropped weight and I’m finally feeling healthier and feel like a new person
Very informative! That's why when I am fasting in the month of RAMDAN I feel more fresh and active. In Islam we been advised to not eat until you feel very hungry and never eat with full stomach means always leave your stomach bite empty.
This video should be in every health class in America and kids should be forced to pass the course at 100% on test day to pass. Unbelievable life saving information thank you so much I’m fasting and my brain fog has cleared up lost 45 pounds in a relatively short period of time with cardio and free weights! Can’t thank you enough!
This was the best and most simple and impactful explanation I have found. I have been suffering for 5 years with the last year being the worst because no one has dealt with the insulin resistance. My a1c has never been super high (7.5), and it currently is a 6, but I still feel horrible. Thank you
I was Looking at my a1c Tests from previous years and I am in shock. I was Pre diabetic with a 5.8 A1C. and I didn't know 😱. from 2018 till Today 2022 my A1C has been 5.5. I did a few changes but it seems that I'm doing a good job reversing it by the grace of God. I did stop drinking Sugary drinks and eating Candy a lot. I'm going to try and eat healthy to improve my numbers even better.
This is one of my favorite videos!! I like how specific with numbers and information about the insulin levels for pre-diabetics. I'm absolutely going to forward this video to many I know are dealing with this issue and need understanding of how it can be controlled with nutrition.
9 days from my prediabetic level reaching 1.5 glycemia in the morning to 1.00 yesterday. Amazing! ( And I lost 4kg ). So simple with a little bit of will power. Two meals a day, no carbs or sugar ( well a little bit of 75% chocolate - you have to have some reward ) . At 72 years old it is staggering that the pancreas can recover so quickly. Thank you Dr Berg.
I am thin and have good A1C and glucose levels, but I still get the symptoms mentioned in this video. I don’t do keto, but I can say that gearing my diet much more in this direction has been very beneficial. I love carbs and sweets, but they do not love me. Thank you for all of the useful information in these videos, Dr. Berg.
same here. good blood glucose but high insulin. started keto diet last 5 days, before just reduced carb and intermitten fasting. now i am doing both keto and intermitten fasting. so far i am feeling so much better.
Happy for you…I have pre diabetic over a year and tried every thing and did not work but now I’m doing ketogenic and hope it’s working…can I ask you when you get normal blood sugar, did you back eat normal or what ?
I'v been eating 300G of carbs for the last 35 years and my fasting blood sugar is between 80 and 100. But not just any carbs...i dont eat cakes and donuts and icecreams and i dont drink sodas or juices even if it comes from an orange.Basicaly i avoid everything that is refined. I prefer to eat the whole fruit instead of the juice that comes from it, i eat whole grains(oats)and seeds and nuts(raw not cooked and not with salt),my diet has huge amounts of fiber(close to 100g/daily) The only animal product i eat is 1 egg almost every day!
Sure is. Highly inflammatory. Causes damage to arteries. Body compensates by using cholesterol to plaster damage as it is designed to do. So high damage = high cholesterol.
"High" cholesterol isn't necessarily bad. And eating fat is good. Check out Dr Paul Saladino and Dr Ken Berry on YT as well as not missing Dr Berg's videos. You'll feel and look much better. We started keto over a year ago. Lost weight, lost brain fog, improved memory, greater energy and my favorite, not thinking about food all the time. Btw, I'm 65
Dr. Berg. Wow you are so fluent and to the point. Very educational...I'm sure all the persons with pre-diabetes will take your advice to control their blood sugar. Awesome video. Thanks very much.
Taking your advice changed my life, I have never been overweight but I always had a sweet tooth and ate way more sugar and carbs than I know I should have, the pandemic took its toll on me and I gained quite a bit of extra weight, went from 170 to 220 and also started having mild pancreas issues. Cut out sugar and junk food completely and started doing OMAD and the difference is just astounding, I feel like a whole new person now and I'm actually happy, my current weight is 190 so it's much closer to my normal weight. I'm never going back eating junk ever again, and I have Dr. Berg to thank for giving me the required knowledge to get myself back on track.
Congrats on your weight loss. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your keto/ IF success story on Dr. Berg's website? We can help you upload your story or you can do it by yourself here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg would be very happy to see your story there. -Dr. Berg's Support Team
Before I saw this video it looked like I was normal with blood tests and weight and no belly. Now I see that I fit with all of the symptoms... Thank you Dr. Berg for the explanations!
My A1C was 6.4. I gained even more weight. But miraculously it went down to 5.9. I attribute it to quitting drinking, that made the difference..I weighed around 220 then, now I'm at 185. I feel much better. It should be interesting to see what it looks like next time I check it. I cut out carbs and fast food intermittent fast twice a week and the scale keeps going down. Thank you Lord!
Thank you very much for the info. Wish I had access to this about 4 years back when I was first diagnosed pre-diabetic. Now I have full blown diabetes and on medication. Have started to work on fasting, and reducing carbs completely. Thanks you again Dr.Berg.
@@jocelynmosqueda5793 well that certainly explains a lot! Our medical system definitely needs to be revamped! We the people are starting to demand no medication, and are looking at cause and cure, no more drugs!!!!
I've been pre-diabetic for several years. A few months ago, I started feeling really weird (really tired, always wiped out, had to frnap after I ate) & that scared me. Not sure how I connected the dots but figured my pre-diabetes was turning into diabetes! So I stopped the sugar. A friend at church gave me some dietary pointers (corn & potatoes, BAD) & while I definitely feel better & finally have energy again, I'm sure I still have a long way to go.
Awesome vid Doc. Both my parents were type 2, and insulin dependent. My dad was a family Dr. There were 8 children, 5 with diabetes, 2 without, and me with pre-diabetes! I love keto and works for me, but often relapse on carbs. Need to find a way to stay off them and effectively manage my eating habits. Very informative, thanks.
Two suggestions: 1) Substitute kale chips for salty crunchies. Pinch off kale into small pieces, placing onto a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them. Shake on sea salt. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until crisp. It's actually WAY tastier and more satisfying than any carb-loaded chips, as well as being much healthier for you. 2) Make a quick mousse for dessert. Place 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1/6 C powdered monkfruit, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla and a pinch of sea salt into a mixing bowl. Beat with hand mixer till stiff. Refrigerate overnight. I hope this helps everyone reading this. _/\_
Thank you Doctor! Two weeks ago my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic but didn't say anything further!!!!! 5 days ago I started with the low/no carb and I am going to stick with it because of videos such as this. I can't let myself sink into diabetes!
I wish that we would have had this knowledge when I was wasting my money on college "professors". I could have helped so many people, instead of giving them toxic medications to mask the problem.
Thanks for the chart and the simplicity of your explanation. I have been told by my doctor that I am or looking like pre-diabetic just a last week. However, I was actually already doing keto like a month before that appointment. I had lost some weight and hadn’t had any refined sugars nor carbs from any breads nor cookies, cakes etc. none of that. But I am still doing the keto and definitely feel better, continues to loose weight and my blood sugar has been more often under 100. So I’m working on it. But I was so glad to find that out thru my blood work so it would not go into full blown diabetes. Thanks for all your BREIF but clear videos. They’ve been a big help for me on my journey yo being healthier.
Last summer I was diagnosed pre-diabetic and it was jarring because my mom was diagnosed diabetic after years, over 10 or 15 years, being pre-diabetic. I tried my regular dieting but not since I found this channel have I made real change based on real science from you Dr. Berg.
Thank you Dr Berg , lately I have been feeling some tingling in my feet and fingers, so I have started intermittent fasting and low carb or keto diet! No turning back, determined to lose weight and avoid being diabetic!
I found out two days ago that I'm diabetic. My blood sugar was 450 and my A1C was 14. Blood pressure was 165/102 and my resting heart rate was 113 bpm. I have cut out all sugary beverages and am going on extreme low carb diet. Hopefully this will help me.
I have many of those symptoms and am glad Dr Berg taught me about Keto about 2 years ago. Even as a kid 45 years ago I craved sugar. I thought I was just being a regular kid....
I would like to thank you for explaining clearly and making it easy to understand Diabetes illness. I'm diagnosed pre-diabetes and have watched many videos on TH-cam and read some articles about it but it's this video that showed me the whole picture and also how literally solve it and help myself. Subscribed and will be watching your other helpful videos. Thumbs up!-
I've been pre diabetic for several years. I started Keto in June. I just had blood work done and my doctor was amazed. I am no longer pre diabetic. My triglycerides are also down. Yay for me!
Wow, in just 4 months? congratulations!! I was just diagnosed pre-diabetic this video is very helpful!
My concern is that I don't want to lose weight.. Im 5'4" and 112 (I would like to be 120) Everything seems geared towards losing weight....
What was the keto diet you followed? Please can you share with us ? Thanks
Did you follow intermittent fasting? How long did you do?
That's great. 🙂
I'm a RN of over 20 years. I have studied nutrition for 33 years. Your videos should be taught in Medical and Nursing schools
Yeah they should be but never will cause big pharma doesn't want the truth out now do they? No, so it will never happen unfortunately.
And the public school system.
the doctors won't make as much if this were taught to everyone.
@@theresaanguiano7262 neither will Pharma companies
Absolutely right, no question or doubt about it. It contains information that even Doctors have never heard of or bothered to find out after graduation 🎓
I did;
No Potatoes
No Rice
No Bread
No Pasta
No Sugar
for six weeks....my resting glucose went from 135 to 97. Haven't had my A1C checked but will do in a few months.
I feel so good.
Thanks.....your testimony has encouraged me.....'much-appreciated !!
exactly you can eat maccas all day long and it makes no difference!
the main thing is to avoid rasberry drinks and dont eat to manny lollies!
Do u use a sugar substitute if so what kind or did you just go with out
@@lisaharris102 I do use a sugar substitute, even a brown sugar substitute to make a toffee chocolate desert. But NO...I def don't go without....I'm weak. I can't do without dessert. I use swerve. I gotta check the cabinet to see what wife uses mostly....but I think its mostly swerve. I checked my sugar spike on some to find what worked well.
An fyi....My favorite desset is mixed berries with a strawberry cream cheese poured over and some whip cream....I think carbs are below 12 on a serving.
No Rice
No Bread
No Pasta
so what you eat in your meals?
I’m a grown man and I just got told by my doctor that I am pre diabetic and you have lifted a very heavy weight off me and I’m not going to lie I’m crying but out of relief thank you.. so so much your truly a great person thank you.
It really works to reverse your diabetes or pre diabetes.
I was prediabetic two years ago. Got serious about my health, implemented much of your advice (among others), and lost 80 pounds and all my labs are perfect now. I was told my entire life it was hereditary when it was really just family eating habits passed down generations. Boggles my mind in retrospect.
So true all I have heard is its hereditary. We have to take care of ourselves.
Jeffrey Wack most mainstream doctors are full of it. I avoid them!
Yes it is absolutely amazing to here the misinformation out there! Keep up the good work!
What did you eat
@@TropiChic Hello Ernestina, I am closer to 30g a day. More worried about avoiding processed anything and rarely eat fruit or grains. I do love the occasional banana with some peanut butter though. Most of the carbs I do get are from veggies or just small amounts of sugar in things like cottage cheese.
I was 226 5 months ago with those symptoms. Changed my diet to Keto and I eat once or twice a day then fast at least 18 hours. I now way 176 pounds and feel much better. I do 4 simple exercises 4 times a week. 100 pushups, 100 leg lifts, 100 curls and I walk 1.5 miles at 3mph on treadmill. Less than an hour a day. I only shop the outside isles and the spice isle at the grocery store. The rest is poison.
Yay, I’m so happy for you. I will start shopping outside isles too. 💙 Keep going, our health is our wealth.
50 lbs = 8cats off the tummy congratulations!!
Make sure those spices don't contain Dextrose or Maltodextrin.
I don't have a gullbladder and wondered if that is why I gained weight on keto hense left the WOL
@@mybrookee1 WOL?
I’m crying because this video and majority of your videos have helped me Today than all the doctors over the last 8 years. I wish I had come upon you years ago. May God help me reverse my symptoms/conditions.

You prediabetes ?
Hello
Unfortunately most doctors I've had in the past don't talk about fasting and nutrition.( keto)
A few years ago I was borderline diabetic now I have a 4.7 A1C ... Not to mention I feel energy after I eat lunch. Your knowledge is so advanced and appreciated. We love you Dr. Berg. Thank you for everything!!!
What was your A1C prior to obtaining 4.7 and how long did it take to get it down? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
@@anthonymitchell4618 I was at a 5.7 . It took me a while. I don't recall exact time frame. I wanna say it was over a year though. But I'm guessing . I didn't keep tabs of the time because it was taking such a long time. I quit checking my blood sugars for a over a year. Then when I started checking it again a few months ago is when I made the discovery. So it happened somewhere along the way. I also notice my body is getting toned up again too. It's like my muscles stopped responding at one point and now they are coming back. It was a long hard fight...many times I literally felt like I was starving to death and the cravings for sugar was so unreal.... then one day it just stopped and I didn't crave or want sugar at all. But I still do eat my honey. It's a good honey source though I eat it with organic natural peanut butter. I'm thinking about quitting eating those too. Sorry info isn't too informative. I can tell you what I did and how I did it though if that helps any.
I just got diagnosed at 5.7 A1C and trying to get back into the normal range.
@@burbahn you can do it.
@@EpicWarDog Were you overweight/obesed prior to the diagnosis? If so, did you end up losing weight to bring your A1C down? Perhaps fasting or exercise? Low carb?
Dear God...please bless this man
Amen
Amen! Praise Him for all your blessings ♥️ around the 🌍 peace to all

I should have watched this Video 25 years ago to have controlled my blood sugar. Now I will make sure My Grand children follow it.

Why thank you
Couldn't resist 😭😭
Not. It didn't cross my mind. Personally I think that this is the true pandemic. Not the other one. I struggle with sugar and he make the cycle perfectly clear. I have to take action.
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching!

@B Low carb foods
I’m now low carb and intermittent fasting. I feel so much better. I’m not losing a lot of weight but I’m trimming down. I’m so glad that I’m not hungry and not going to the bathroom all the time.
Finally, a doctor we can trust, who cares about our health and well-being. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
I bet Big Pharma dislikes him?
I would trust Dr. Berg with my life he's just the very best of the best!
Right! He doesn't talk about going to the pharmacy and getting on meds. He shows other ways to help our bodies.
haha ya right he totally cares his subs and views too.
@@yashjain3cooldude if he saves lives through these views then more power to him. He could have kept all this info and charge you $$$ to purchase it and become a billionaire like pharmaceutical companies.
I'm confused why can't this be a lesson in high school? This should be in health class.
wkdravenna right!
they need doctor visits
Dej Ed he says the same stuff as other real doctors like dr Jason fung, ken berry, William Davis, and many others
@@dejed1349 You don't understand.
@@dejed1349 those might just be helpful indeed of cos he can take D3 and K2 to scrub off the calcium deposits from the arteries and fasting makes him recover faster!! they dont teach these in high school not even medical school
Exceptional explanation, he can really make even the most complex concept look simple and easy to understand. Really important when it comes to diabetes and prediabetes. So many people could be saved just with a better prevention! So thank you very much Dr. Berg for raising the awareness!
I have to agree with you Katherine. My late husband passed away from complications from diabetes & my brother passed away from heart disease which I feel like diabetes had a play in that too. Neither one’s doctors ever explained diabetes to me the way Dr Berg has explained it!! Such a great knowledgeable Doctor!
Thank you Dr Berg
Diet n exercise are key. Avoid junk, processed foods n sugary stuff. Western diet and fast food are killing us.
ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHY HE IS MY ONLY REAL DOCTOR.
I never understood insulin resistance until I started watching Dr. Berg videos. Now that I understand it better I can make changes to make me healthier.
I’ve been in pre diabetic range for a little over a year and until just now after watching this I didn’t fully understand what I was dealing with or going up against. It made perfect sense once you broke that down. Thank you so much for this.
So much clearer😊
Can u share an update, please
I was overweight and my doctor raised the alarm about my blood sugar levels. I was at 5.6. Did some research and discovered I was eating a lot of carbs and sugar, and, that my body can burn fat as fuel instead of carbs (keto). So I marginalized the foods that piled on the carbs and sugars and switched to fatty foods for energy. Didn't eat less, just changed what I ate. I lost 35 pounds and I'm at my ideal weight for my size, and my blood sugar levels are just fine at 5.1. There was no effort to this. The pounds just fell off. The strangest thing that I didn't expect is that I'm perfectly satisfied now at eating one meal per day with a bit of a fatty snack thrown in just for the fun of it. Dr Berg is right on. Listen to him. I feel 20 years younger which is pretty good considering I'm 60. One thing you should accept if you want to be healthy: don't follow the federal recommendations for a balanced diet. That's what got me into trouble in the first place.
What kind of food did you eat could you give me an example of what you did I'm working on going on a keto diet and start going to the gym my doctor said my A1C is 6.1 and my blood sugar is 111. I need to change my diet and get back to being active like I was before
Great job! How long did it take you to get your A1C from 5.8 to 5.2?
Dr. Berg, you are a LIFESAVER! I started on my health journey with keto and IF because in December 2018, my fasting blood glucose was 123, its highest ever. My weight was also at my highest ever, 274 pounds. Everything you just shared in this video was ME. I have been following your advice for over 17 months now, and I am now at 144 pounds as of yesterday! I wish I would have known about keto and IF and all you've shared about insulin many years earlier. It certainly would have helped me possibly not even get to the point I was with my health. I love your phrase, "You have to get healthy to lose the weight..." So true.... I hope people who watched this video who are new to keto and your teaching watch this over and over again to really understand what's behind their constant hunger and overeating. Thank YOU for all you do! I feel amazing at age 52 and can't believe how good I look and feel today because of your guidance!
Jennifer Meek Eells good for you! I was 242 and now am 130!
@@nhmooytis7058 So AWESOME!!!
Congratulations! I hope you're sharing your story everywhere.

Su V wish I could show photos. I was seriously fat!
I have a normal A1C and an elevated fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance, as told by a high C-peptide test and a physical examination. My endocrinologist diagnosed me as prediabetic. I’ve made a lot of lifestyle changes since then, which include a low carb diet, intermittent fasting and regular exercise. I’m already down 40 pounds, and hoping to reach my first weight loss goal by March. You do important work! Thank you! 🙏🏾
Good job
That’s awesome!!
What is intermittent fasting I'm prediabetes too I want to reverse it
@@toysandcandy3478 Hi! Dr. Berg has tons of videos about intermittent fasting on his channel! It has a lot of great health benefits, especially for individuals trying to get insulin levels down. I do 16:8 fasting, basically I fast for 16 hrs and my eating window is 8 hrs. I start eating at noon and stop eating by 8pm. I usually eat twice a day, no snacking. Hope that helps!
@@NiniEJ what happen if you only need to lower your blood sugar & not loosing weight
I stayed on the no sugar an virtually no carb diet for four months (124 days). My H1c dropped from 5.9 (pre-diabetes) to 5.2 (normal). It is an awful diet (no bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, pizza, desserts, soups with any of the prior ingredients, or fruits. Yet, it did work for me. I hated every minute but it kicks ass.
Hats off to your self control. I'm 22 years old boy, unfortunately I'm prediabetic some times I feel so depressed.can you tell me about your diet
@@arsalammsamm8667the sooner you get this thing under control, the better off you’ll be. It really is very simple (not easy though). Cut out processed foods, if it’s in a box or a bag, just take a pass. You should take in healthy carbs, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and low carb fruit like berries (strawberries and raspberries) are healthy carbs. Take in enough fat and protein (red meat, chicken , fish, nuts, cheese, yogurt are good sources) to satisfy your hunger and don’t eat when you’re not hungry. Stay away from breaded fish and chicken. You could implement time restricted eating (intermittent fasting) and that can speed up progress. You have to be prepared to live this way most days. I have birthday cake at celebrations, but my everyday meal plan does not include processed food or many high carb foods especially added sugars. No bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, cookies , cakes, pies, biscuits, tortillas, cereal, granola, none of that. Also nix the sugary drinks. Water or unsweetened tea (coffee if you’re not caffeine sensitive) are your drinks of choice. I’ve heard some Dr.s talk about artificial sweeteners being very questionable with regard to impact on insulin levels as well as the creation of sugar cravings. I don’t indulge. Do your research and make your own decision. Sometimes we need a crutch before we go cold turkey. But in the interest of saving your health and quality of life, it’s great that you’re exploring now about ways to decrease insulin resistance. Good luck on your journey!
Oh also how do I know? Lost 86lbs in 12 months and a1c down from 13 to 5.9 as of February this year. It can be done. Don’t worry and don’t give up!
@@arsalammsamm8667forgot to say going for walks has also helped. Start getting active. A 30 minute walk is a good place to start if you are capable. If you can’t do 30 start smaller and build. Just start. It’s incredibly helpful.
I did the same for 30 days and that was years ago no more pre diabetes
Can you list foods that you ate and that would be considered non sugar forming foods. I am looking to adopt a healthy eating lifestyle. I would truly appreciate it.
I'm not sure if you'll ever read this comment Dr. Berg but I just wanted to let you and know that you've made a massive positive impact in my life, and I can't even put into words the amount of appreciation I have for you. Thank you sir. Your videos are easy to understand and I have learned more in the past few weeks watching your videos than I have in my collective 49 years and that would include 6 years of university. You would think that critical information like this would be mandatory and squeezed-in somewhere within 20 years of school without studying to be a doctor.
The big terms sir and appreciate and I / You (with capital letter) only reflect me the superior being and the only being appreciation is meant for & my pure protectors aka the alphas aka the only sir / mr / lord / prince / king etc, and such terms cannot be misused by hum’ns, and must be edited out, and pronouns can never be with capital letter when referring to oneself / other hum’ns - all hum’ns are the exact opposite of sir / compIiments / other big terms implying superiority and purity etc, and promoting impsts by big term misuse is a harrible zyn!!!
It’s not eating sugar / carbs that causes diabetes - it’s the consumption of sakryIegyuz products (meats / dairy / eggs etc) that causes pre-diabetes or diabetes, which is why it’s always those eating non-plant-based diets that get it! In fact, it’s even been shown that animaI fat / animaI protein are what cause insulin resistance and make one’s body lose its natural ability to make the sugar levels go back to normal after consuming dietary sugar! I ate more sugar / sweets / carbs than anyone, and my bIood sugar has always been around 80 to 83 or 84, and the last time I checked (about one or two months ago) it was very low around 70 as I hadn’t eaten anything for 16+ hours before the test, as the body runs on sugar and carbs and has the ability to make the sugar levels go back to normal no matter how much dietary sugar and carbs are consumed! I am going to send my bIood to the lab next week, so that I know for sure if I have any risk of getting pre-diabetes and to find out if I have any deficiencies and any cancers and any other issues! I also had some tests done to check if I have any bacteria / fungi etc in my saliva / nose / sweat and intimate areas, and they said everything is perfectly normal and there are no pathogens in or on my body! And now I have to get my bIood tested too, just to be sure, even though I am pretty sure I don’t have anything and it doesn’t even feel like I have something, plus I cannot even remember the last time I had a cold or a fever, as my immunity has been extremely strong over the past 11+ years!
Sugar isn’t the cause of diabetes, and even though sugar / sweets can definitely irritate the nerves of the teeth and can cause toothache esp when consumed in excess and even though trying to chew on extremely hard candy can definitely cause a tooth (esp a tooth that had an existing cavity since childhood) to break, it doesn’t cause new cavities and it doesn’t make existing cavities get any worse - so, these are two of the main misconceptions re sugar / sweets, and the true cause of diabetes is animaI protein / animaI fat, while dairy is the main cause of new cavities forming and existing cavities getting worse, and I even noticed the worst tooth issues during the 1 or 2 years when I consumed a lot of dairy, which made my teeth move and the cavities got worse, yet after I ditched all dairy and all other animaI ingredients, I haven’t noticed any new cavities forming and even the existing cavities stayed the same over the past 11+ years and my teeth haven’t moved at all since then!
Even through nursing school and all kinds of biology, anatomy and physiology classes that I have taken, I’m still learning a lot from you. I’m learning from the school of YT. You’re the best teacher 😊
P P
The big causative factor for me has been high levels of cortisol, from unavoidable stressors, years of disrupted sleep as a carer with no support. The dietary problems weren't really there, however intermittent fasting has been extremely helpful and I'm recovering. Way better than I was and better all the time.
Yeah sleep deprivation and caring are right up there with the top stressors such as bereavement and divorce and akin to prison of war torture and can take their toll on your body and it's internal balance. Good to hear your health is on the up.
I was so busy when I was younger that either I would forget or never even have time to eat. I ate once, maybe twice a day and not much. Everyone said that was bad for my health but looking back, that was when I felt the best and had the most energy. Also had chickens in my farm so eggs were a main part of my diet. Watching your videos, I now know why I’m not feeling as well today. Thank you!
but even he says in other videos that eating once a day..its ok...and eggs are great for you.

It’s not eating sugar / carbs that causes diabetes - it’s the consumption of sakryIegyuz products (meats / dairy / eggs etc) that causes pre-diabetes or diabetes, which is why it’s always those eating non-plant-based diets that get it! In fact, it’s even been shown that animaI fat / animaI protein are what cause insulin resistance and make one’s body lose its natural ability to make the sugar levels go back to normal after consuming dietary sugar! I ate more sugar / sweets / carbs than anyone, and my bIood sugar has always been around 80 to 83 or 84, and the last time I checked (about one or two months ago) it was very low around 70 as I hadn’t eaten anything for 16+ hours before the test, as the body runs on sugar and carbs and has the ability to make the sugar levels go back to normal no matter how much dietary sugar and carbs are consumed! I am going to send my bIood to the lab next week, so that I know for sure if I have any risk of getting pre-diabetes and to find out if I have any deficiencies and any cancers and any other issues! I also had some tests done to check if I have any bacteria / fungi etc in my saliva / nose / sweat and intimate areas, and they said everything is perfectly normal and there are no pathogens in or on my body! And now I have to get my bIood tested too, just to be sure, even though I am pretty sure I don’t have anything and it doesn’t even feel like I have something, plus I cannot even remember the last time I had a cold or a fever, as my immunity has been extremely strong over the past 11+ years!
Also, keto is one of the most unhtst diets, and losing weight is not an indication of hth - keto diets cause weight loss, yet cause serious hth issues, which is a known fact! The proper way to lose weight in a normal way is by eating a plant-based diet with less fats and less calories than the calories consumed, and one would think all doctors and all nutritionists would have been taught these facts by now, yet misinfo is still the main things that’s being taught to most doctors and nutritionists - It’s calories in vs calories out for the most part, and consuming less calories from fat! However, one can still do a keto diet on a plant-based diet if one really wants to eat such a diet!
...it’s animaI products one should not be consuming, not carbs - the body runs on glucose / carbs, and it’s beyond unhthy to not give the body its normal energy source, and all that get diabetes are ppl that eat animal products and high animaI fat / high animaI protein / low carb diets!
Sugar isn’t the cause of diabetes, and even though sugar / sweets can definitely irritate the nerves of the teeth and can cause toothache esp when consumed in excess and even though trying to chew on extremely hard candy can definitely cause a tooth (esp a tooth that had an existing cavity since childhood) to break, it doesn’t cause new cavities and it doesn’t make existing cavities get any worse - so, these are two of the main misconceptions re sugar / sweets, and the true cause of diabetes is animaI protein / animaI fat, while dairy is the main cause of new cavities forming and existing cavities getting worse, and I even noticed the worst tooth issues during the 1 or 2 years when I consumed a lot of dairy, which made my teeth move and the cavities got worse, yet after I ditched all dairy and all other animaI ingredients, I haven’t noticed any new cavities forming and even the existing cavities stayed the same over the past 11+ years and my teeth haven’t moved at all since then!
Excellent presentation! I got off keto during this quarantine and gained weight. Time for me to get back on track. Thank you for sharing!
I did too. I am with you, Paul. Back to keto -- starting 2 meals a day and once settled in, then to onemeals a day (OMAD)
I did the same; Been getting back to keto and IF and walking. In 1 week I had more energy and am so much happier! Just the help I needed to keep going!
Thank you Dr Berg for the excellent explanation. I have been cutting out the carbs and doing intermittent fasting for only 1 week and already it is getting easier and I am feel Great !
The best doctor on TH-cam, without a shadow of a doubt. Straight to the point with deep knowledge explained simply to the mass audience. Keep up the extraordinary work.
Thank you, I had to do my own research years ago before I was ever diagnosed and request I be tested. You are helping alot of people change and save their lives. I tell people dialysis should not be a goal in life.
My reaction during this video first few secs/mins 1.ANXIETY, PANIC do i have it since i have one of the symptoms n family history 2.ACCEPTANCE that ive not had the best eating habits 3. REALIZATION that i need to change whatever habits to avoid diabetes. Dr Berg is amazing, i feel like im attending a lecture n just focused on his cool calm voice n inspiring me to adopt a healthier lifestyle.Dr.Berg, you are Changing Lives !! 😀
Lana, you couldn't have put down any better
Same feelings here! 😆
Type 2 diabetes is not hereditary.
Chances are everyone in a family eats the same way, right?
You can change your course.
This should be taught in primary schools. So important! You’re awesome Dr. Berg. Thanks yet again.
Eating this way has helped me tremendously! I’ve been Prediabetic & hypoglycemic. I’m fighting back now! 💪
How can I say Thank You in a very meaningful way? I'm not good at writing my thoughts, but you made me understand that I've been damaging my body for years and years ! I'm 74 and 250 lbs. After 2 heart attacks, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, AND more ailments... I now realize I've been 'treating' myself to a slow painful 'premature' death. Your explanations are so down to earth that even I can understand. Thank you for education! 'No carbs', here I come! My desire is to safely get off the metformin, lisinopril, metatoprolol, Crestor, etc.
My friends and family members thinks I'm smart but I really just watch Dr Bergs videos because he breaks it down for me to understand I then break it down to my friends, now they think I'm a guru, hahahaha!!!
Omg same😂
Love it 😊
I am proud of you and you are a TRUE GURU
Spread the word brother😁👌👍👏
Same haha
I had Covid Pneumonia and was hospitalized for twelve days. Before being admitted to the hospital, I was not overweight and walked 6-8 miles a day for work. My labs results show I'm pre-diabetic Glucose 5.8 A1C 109.
I immediately cut out all refined sugar and carbs. Changed my diet to Paleo and started walking again. Finding you on TH-cam was a blessing. Thank you
for all the information.
Dang! This sort of stuff (simplified) should be taught at the public/high school level. I'm now 89, probably very near the Type 2 to Type 1 stage. Different family doctors over the years NEVER talked about this sort of thing. Even when I told them about tingling in the feet and lower legs at 60 years old. All they did was take my blood sugar which was 5.9 and say there was nothing wrong with me and didn't know what the tingling was all about. Knowing what I know now, I swear to God these medical doctors are in cahoots with Big Pharma.
In four months my A1C went from 6.8 to 5.7...I also lost 28 lbs and watched my diet!!! I added B1 and other B vitamins...! And am thankful for your videos..
Great job! Did you do a no grains diet?
can you give more details pls? how to cure blood sugar drops feeling? hypo
I like how do you explain, the doctors don't have time and mood to tel us how to prevent the apparition of illnesses
Dr Berg, your videos are very inspirational. I have worked on myself & reversed Diabetes to Prediabetic. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Dr. Berg for educational awareness concerning Diabetes. I am a Biochemist myself and you are doing a great job
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

I have all those symptoms, except tingling feet.
I began last week with some changes and already the urination has become less severe. The constant, painful hunger has completely disappeared. I'm sleeping better and getting up earlier and more refreshed. I also lost about 5 lbs, whether fluid or fat. Looking forward to getting rid of the poor memory and brain fog.
How but i m always extremely hungry
Ever since I started the keto diet, my HBA1C has been 4.9
Grt ma'am
That's awesome!
Straight to the point. Calming voice. Excellent teach! Thank you!
I need to make a lot of changes, I've been prediabetic for about 20+ years. My blood sugar this week have been 120 on Monday 29 May 2023, 130 on Thur 1 Jun 2023 and 130 on Fri 2 on 2023. A lot of the things you said in the video I have. My brother was diabetic and long story short, he passed away from a stroke at the age of 66. I'm 66 yrs old now. So starting today, I will try to make changes in my eating habits. Glad I checked out your video, thank you.
I can testify to the efficacy of this advice through hard core experience.
Thank you, Dr Berg. I'm at that tipping point.
Again, thank you so much for this explanation! I recently had pre diabetes results. I started keto, have done intermittent fasting for years but more diligently now and feeling so much better.
Hi Carol, how are you doing. I hope you’are doing fine, nice to meet you here I’am Thomas from Virginia, US.
His videos are life changing. Should be taught in schools. I have been fasting for over a year now and have no desire to snack. Rather than losing weight, I look more leaner and less ‘round’
Cutting carb is still a challenge but I’m ploughing on
Thank you so much for this wealth of health information
THANK YOU for making it easy to understand!! I was told I am pre diabetic. NOW, I understand what I need to do to prevent full blown diabetes!! So far I don’t have many of the indicators. Your video was just in time for me.
Have you been able to reverse it?thank you
I wish I had watched this video last year. Now I understand all my symptom and I am going to watch this video many many times more to motivate me do the keto diet. Thank you very much!
Excellent explanation of how diabetes happens and how to prevent and that is not explained fully by your MD. Thank you my good Dr. Eric Berg.
Outstanding Video!! I started following your channel 2 months ago and in the last 3 weeks I started following your Intermittent Fasting and OMAD with Keto, my blood sugar went from the high 100's to 80 - 94 consistently and I've dropped 20lbs so far with a combination of just walking and fasting... Unreal how this has impacted me, my wife thought something was wrong, so I went to my doctor, and he said everything looks great. I'm very grateful for your help and those who you have helped. Well done sir!!
I realize that this video came out a year ago. But, I am SO glad it is still showing up because the past 18 months has changed a lot of people's living habits in ways that are NOT conducive to preventing diabetes. (Less excercise, more snacking, less social interaction, more emotional stress and depression.) I really appreciate the way you have of explaining very important and complicated information. Genetically I have always been at high risk for developing diabetes and have tried to do what I can to reduce that risk. But the past 18 months and everything that has been going on has really done a number on me. Now for the first time in a long time I feel empowered to fight the good fight again! Thank you, for that!
Thank you, Dr. Berg ❤ You are like a real life super hero 🦸 We thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving us the tools to live long lives with our children and family. You explain everything with great detail without being too overwhelming to understand. Straight to the point. God bless you, sir 🙏🏾 ❤
I had a life change I went A1C 8.9 to 5.4 to 5.6 and then last was a 5.4. I changed my diet to keto, doing intermittent fasting started taking supplement Berberine and I’ve dropped weight and I’m finally feeling healthier and feel like a new person
Did you have any stomach issues with Berberine? I couldn’t tolerate it, but I would really like to try it again.
Very informative! That's why when I am fasting in the month of RAMDAN I feel more fresh and active. In Islam we been advised to not eat until you feel very hungry and never eat with full stomach means always leave your stomach bite empty.
This video should be in every health class in America and kids should be forced to pass the course at 100% on test day to pass. Unbelievable life saving information thank you so much I’m fasting and my brain fog has cleared up lost 45 pounds in a relatively short period of time with cardio and free weights! Can’t thank you enough!
This was the best and most simple and impactful explanation I have found. I have been suffering for 5 years with the last year being the worst because no one has dealt with the insulin resistance. My a1c has never been super high (7.5), and it currently is a 6, but I still feel horrible. Thank you
I just got to know yesterday that I am prediabetes,already having nerve pain,please did you find anything that worked for you?thank you
@@nikkyshairades9078 i discovered I have multiple food allergies. I had to stop eating many items.
@@DrAB3651 thank you my friend,did you experience any of the symptoms when it was high?
@@nikkyshairades9078 yes.
I was Looking at my a1c Tests from previous years and I am in shock. I was Pre diabetic with a 5.8 A1C. and I didn't know 😱. from 2018 till Today 2022 my A1C has been 5.5. I did a few changes but it seems that I'm doing a good job reversing it by the grace of God. I did stop drinking Sugary drinks and eating Candy a lot. I'm going to try and eat healthy to improve my numbers even better.
You are saving lives, thank you so much! My wife and me started keto & omad almost three years ago, today looking and feeling better than ever!
This video is enough in TH-cam to know about pre-diabetic. Thanks Dr.Berg!
Glad you found it informative!
This is one of my favorite videos!! I like how specific with numbers and information about the insulin levels for pre-diabetics. I'm absolutely going to forward this video to many I know are dealing with this issue and need understanding of how it can be controlled with nutrition.
9 days from my prediabetic level reaching 1.5 glycemia in the morning to 1.00 yesterday.
Amazing! ( And I lost 4kg ). So simple with a little bit of will power. Two meals a day, no carbs or sugar ( well a little bit of 75% chocolate - you have to have some reward ) . At 72 years old it is staggering that the pancreas can recover so quickly. Thank you Dr Berg.
I am thin and have good A1C and glucose levels, but I still get the symptoms mentioned in this video. I don’t do keto, but I can say that gearing my diet much more in this direction has been very beneficial. I love carbs and sweets, but they do not love me. Thank you for all of the useful information in these videos, Dr. Berg.
I started having these symptoms some months ago and now I am being diagnosed with prediabetes 😭😭😭😭
Excess insulin in your system is bad too.
same here. good blood glucose but high insulin. started keto diet last 5 days, before just reduced carb and intermitten fasting. now i am doing both keto and intermitten fasting. so far i am feeling so much better.
I been prediabetic. I started fasting and keto diet after 5 months reversed my A1C from 6 to 5.4 only in 5 months. THANKS DR BERG
Happy for you…I have pre diabetic over a year and tried every thing and did not work but now I’m doing ketogenic and hope it’s working…can I ask you when you get normal blood sugar, did you back eat normal or what ?
@@alialsarray7231 change your lifestyle by sticking to keto diet and intermittent fasting and you see your pre diabetic disappear after months
I'v been eating 300G of carbs for the last 35 years and my fasting blood sugar is between 80 and 100. But not just any carbs...i dont eat cakes and donuts and icecreams and i dont drink sodas or juices even if it comes from an orange.Basicaly i avoid everything that is refined.
I prefer to eat the whole fruit instead of the juice that comes from it, i eat whole grains(oats)and seeds and nuts(raw not cooked and not with salt),my diet has huge amounts of fiber(close to 100g/daily)
The only animal product i eat is 1 egg almost every day!
I cut out sugar and refined carbs. High starch foods. No white potatoes no corn no white rice no white flower. I lost 45 pounds since the summer.
Love his explanation in something that I personally didn’t understand it before! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️👍🏻👌🏻
Hi, how are you doing. I hope you’are doing fine, nice to meet you here I’am Thomas from Virginia, US.
So high cholesterol is because of high sugar, didn't know that
Sure is. Highly inflammatory. Causes damage to arteries. Body compensates by using cholesterol to plaster damage as it is designed to do. So high damage = high cholesterol.
"High" cholesterol isn't necessarily bad. And eating fat is good. Check out Dr Paul Saladino and Dr Ken Berry on YT as well as not missing Dr Berg's videos. You'll feel and look much better. We started keto over a year ago. Lost weight, lost brain fog, improved memory, greater energy and my favorite, not thinking about food all the time. Btw, I'm 65
high triglycerides directly linked also
Thank you Dr for explaining diabetes in a way that we can understand.
Dr. Berg. Wow you are so fluent and to the point. Very educational...I'm sure all the persons with pre-diabetes will take your advice to control their blood sugar. Awesome video. Thanks very much.
Taking your advice changed my life, I have never been overweight but I always had a sweet tooth and ate way more sugar and carbs than I know I should have, the pandemic took its toll on me and I gained quite a bit of extra weight, went from 170 to 220 and also started having mild pancreas issues. Cut out sugar and junk food completely and started doing OMAD and the difference is just astounding, I feel like a whole new person now and I'm actually happy, my current weight is 190 so it's much closer to my normal weight. I'm never going back eating junk ever again, and I have Dr. Berg to thank for giving me the required knowledge to get myself back on track.
Congrats on your weight loss. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your keto/ IF success story on Dr. Berg's website? We can help you upload your story or you can do it by yourself here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Dr. Berg would be very happy to see your story there.

Before I saw this video it looked like I was normal with blood tests and weight and no belly. Now I see that I fit with all of the symptoms... Thank you Dr. Berg for the explanations!
Been on the carnivore/omad way of eating for two years, and it put my pre-diabetes in remission! And I feel great!
My A1C was 6.4. I gained even more weight. But miraculously it went down to 5.9. I attribute it to quitting drinking, that made the difference..I weighed around 220 then, now I'm at 185. I feel much better. It should be interesting to see what it looks like next time I check it. I cut out carbs and fast food intermittent fast twice a week and the scale keeps going down. Thank you Lord!
Thank you very much for the info. Wish I had access to this about 4 years back when I was first diagnosed pre-diabetic. Now I have full blown diabetes and on medication. Have started to work on fasting, and reducing carbs completely. Thanks you again Dr.Berg.
Thank you Dr. Berg for this excellent presentation.....Even my Doc is confused on whether I am pre-diabetic or diabetic...
@@jocelynmosqueda5793 well that certainly explains a lot! Our medical system definitely needs to be revamped! We the people are starting to demand no medication, and are looking at cause and cure, no more drugs!!!!
I've been pre-diabetic for several years. A few months ago, I started feeling really weird (really tired, always wiped out, had to frnap after I ate) & that scared me. Not sure how I connected the dots but figured my pre-diabetes was turning into diabetes!
So I stopped the sugar. A friend at church gave me some dietary pointers (corn & potatoes, BAD) & while I definitely feel better & finally have energy again, I'm sure I still have a long way to go.
Awesome vid Doc. Both my parents were type 2, and insulin dependent. My dad was a family Dr. There were 8 children, 5 with diabetes, 2 without, and me with pre-diabetes! I love keto and works for me, but often relapse on carbs. Need to find a way to stay off them and effectively manage my eating habits. Very informative, thanks.
Two suggestions: 1) Substitute kale chips for salty crunchies. Pinch off kale into small pieces, placing onto a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them. Shake on sea salt. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until crisp. It's actually WAY tastier and more satisfying than any carb-loaded chips, as well as being much healthier for you.
2) Make a quick mousse for dessert. Place 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1/6 C powdered monkfruit, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla and a pinch of sea salt into a mixing bowl. Beat with hand mixer till stiff. Refrigerate overnight.
I hope this helps everyone reading this. _/\_
Thank you Doctor! Two weeks ago my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic but didn't say anything further!!!!! 5 days ago I started with the low/no carb and I am going to stick with it because of videos such as this. I can't let myself sink into diabetes!
I wish that we would have had this knowledge when I was wasting my money on college "professors". I could have helped so many people, instead of giving them toxic medications to mask the problem.
Scott, never too late. Get your hands on and do it.
They prefer curing to preventing because curing will produce huge profits.
Thanks for the chart and the simplicity of your explanation. I have been told by my doctor that I am or looking like pre-diabetic just a last week. However, I was actually already doing keto like a month before that appointment. I had lost some weight and hadn’t had any refined sugars nor carbs from any breads nor cookies, cakes etc. none of that. But I am still doing the keto and definitely feel better, continues to loose weight and my blood sugar has been more often under 100. So I’m working on it. But I was so glad to find that out thru my blood work so it would not go into full blown diabetes. Thanks for all your BREIF but clear videos. They’ve been a big help for me on my journey yo being healthier.
Last summer I was diagnosed pre-diabetic and it was jarring because my mom was diagnosed diabetic after years, over 10 or 15 years, being pre-diabetic. I tried my regular dieting but not since I found this channel have I made real change based on real science from you Dr. Berg.
Thank you Dr Berg , lately I have been feeling some tingling in my feet and fingers, so I have started intermittent fasting and low carb or keto diet! No turning back, determined to lose weight and avoid being diabetic!
This is so helpful! I was prediabetic before keto.
I found out two days ago that I'm diabetic. My blood sugar was 450 and my A1C was 14. Blood pressure was 165/102 and my resting heart rate was 113 bpm. I have cut out all sugary beverages and am going on extreme low carb diet. Hopefully this will help me.
I have many of those symptoms and am glad Dr Berg taught me about Keto about 2 years ago. Even as a kid 45 years ago I craved sugar. I thought I was just being a regular kid....
I would like to thank you for explaining clearly and making it easy to understand Diabetes illness. I'm diagnosed pre-diabetes and have watched many videos on TH-cam and read some articles about it but it's this video that showed me the whole picture and also how literally solve it and help myself. Subscribed and will be watching your other helpful videos. Thumbs up!-
