thanks for this very enlightening video. i hope that many people will see this video and draw their conclusions from it. the diet has deteriorated extremely over the past few decades. when i look into the shopping cart i'm always shocked. pure poison.
@Maria Lindell - I agree
Dear Dr. Ekberg, I finished my first five-day fast two days ago. Days 2 and 3 were difficult, but I somehow scraped through them, took some salt, magnesium and potassium. I have watched dozens of your videos already (they are great!), and I am now on day three on keto, but I have one doubt:
Surely our ancestors, between feast and fast, must have depended (at least almost) exclusively on fruit for some short periods (for sure they should have preferred it to fasting, and not have been too picky about the GI of the fruit). Would you agree on this and how would this occasional behaviour show in our long-term health (providing that we are fully healthy when we eat fruit enough to drive us out of ketosis)?
I love this video on prediabetes. Straight on facts, nothing "sugarcoated." (....No pun intended.)
👍😉
GOUT, hello DR Sten Ekberg, love your videos
Can you please advise how the best way to treat Gout and lower Uric acid,
Have sore lower back, had blood test and my uric acid is high
Thanks heaps👍
1. Blood sugar is higher than normal, but not as high as diabetic
2. Elevated fasting insulin
3. Severe Fatigue (especially after a meal)
4. Poor wound healing
5. Numbness and Tingling (poor blood circulation)
6. Kidney Damage
7. Blurred Vision
8. Joint pain and arthritis
9. Weight Gain
10. Hunger
Thank you so much for your time ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much this is helpful. 😊😊
You're doing the lord's work
Is fatty liver an early sign ?
Artichoke pills help me
It's NEVER too late. Just start where you are at. Even diabetics can start to change for the better.
OK Smarty! Right you are. Given one month and the proper plan a Type 2 should be able to get their blood sugar into a healthy range and be working on getting off meds. But I still can't get over my own stupidities of the past like going easy on butter and eggs and making all that soup with grains & beans instead of MEAT.
@@kathym6603 you were doing your best with the incorrect information you were given, not your fault.👍🏻
@@kathym6603 Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting lifestyle reversed my T2D. I got off 2000mg of Metformin in three weeks and my A1C to 5.1 in three months. My highest A1C was 13.9.
Type 2 diabetes is entirely reversible. You just have to stop eating sugar.
You may never know how impactful those words are for some readers. NEVER too late!!
I quit sugar and carbs...I am so scared of this disease. Lots of greens water and exercise and feel great.
I did to nothing happened
Im type 2, its not a big deal if you eat healthy and exercise, even if you dont, it still dont do much, my grandma had it all her life
Type 2 DOES NOT lead to type 1
Pre or type 2 is nothing
I am 53 years old. First done keto for 3 months, and after that keto/carnivore for 3 months now and do a 20/4 fasting. Hg1ac from 6.3 down to 4.5. Lost 79 lbs. No more headaches, no more sinus problems, no more migraines, no more joint pain, skin tags gone, and my reading vision has improved from +1.2 to +1. all blood values are perfect. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
Congrats on your amazing results!
Yea!

@berikco wow! Congrats!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Three months Keto! How did you do it? You didn’t crave sugar/carbs? Would you share your Keto diet?
Wow! Good for you! 👍🤩
I diagnosed myself with insulin resistance this year. I'm 65 and have been a big sweet and carb eater my whole life. I cut carbs and eat no sugar, do IF, and walk an hour most days. I have lost 26 lbs since May. 3 mos ago my blood glucose had gone from 98 to 92. I'm hoping the next blood test it will be even lower. And skin tags are disappearing! Blood pressure is coming down too. My doc never mentions any of this. Thank you!
Berberine alpha lipoic acid supplements will help a lot
@@kinghndrsn638 Thank you. Yes l didn't mention that l take Berberine. And sometimes alternate monthly between the Berberine and Diaxinol 👍
Skin tags disappearing is something I want too
Good job Gina keep it up!!
Oh my God, same with me! I cut out sugar and carbs, and I do IF 20-4 everyday just from September! And my annoying skin tags (on my armpits and groins) have all disappeared! I weighed 120kg when I started and I’m now at 110kg! Let’s stay healthy people… love
4yrs now...16/8 intermittent fasting has reversed many of these symptoms for me. even the eye floaters have been reduced.
I’m finding out that a ketogenic diet really works for me. I eat fish as my source of protein and veggies galore. It gets boring but it’s easy for me to adhere to and I like the freedom from joint pain, numbness and tingling, prickly and painful sensations, and extreme fatigue.
You ever try fried fish ?
Ancel keys fooled us.
Thank you for your comment my sister. It’s encouraging.
Are you pre diabetic? I’m getting a blood test this week. I only have 1 symptom out of all it’s the tingling recently.
I'm two years into Keto, it has drastically changed my life for the better.
he should be internationally awarded for protecting humankind
Aching joints,tingling in the fingers, bloating, cognitive haziness has improved since getting control of my carb intake. I cut out bread and sugar. Feeling better now and looking forward
Just in general with carbs or are you diabetic?
My breakfast was:
Scrambled egg
Freshly sourced smoked salmon
Avocado
Water throughout day
Just finishing off:
Beans
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Sprouts
Salmon & haloumi fried in avocado oil.
Keto/exercise reversed my symptoms & now gone in 4 mnths from 280 lbs to 235 lbs.
Nice one!
Just be careful of eating too much Salmon. It is a high mercury fish. Oz thought he was super healthy using the Mediterranean Diet , and found out he had high level of mercury in his system because of Salmon.
I’ve heard anything smoked isn’t good.
@@tdhtranwe hear lots of things. But that doesn’t make it factual
@@tdhtran It's better ultra-processed and fast food. Way better.
I arrived home on September 5th and noticed a weird feeling in both of my legs below the knees. It's not numbness or tingling; but more like a super thin nylon is on. After days of research and a lot of crying, I started the Keto diet. No carbs, no Peanut M & M, and I've dropped 10 pounds already. And, the pain from arthritis the in my knees feels like it's gone. I've also experienced very dry mouth. I've been worried sick and on my knees praying that it's only pre and not type 2. I'm 62. Aging is not for the faint of heart. Your video has given me some hope, so thank you for posting Dr.!
I was just explaining to my daughter that feeling, like a nylon is on.
Its not the aging. Its the trusting in doctors that is doing the damage.
Hey u are going to do well !!!!!!
Hope you are doing well.
Had a blood sugar test done last week. It came back at 4.75. Really thrilled about this. Exactly one year ago I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and HepA (yes, I did have the jabs). I stopped eating sugar, cut down on carbs, practised intermittent fasting and lost about 20kg.
Did your diagnoses show up after the jabs?
@@beautifullybroken2926 No, before they became available.
I mean the Covid jabs.
Did it reverse your fatty liver ? I have the same condition and have started on IF .
Great 👍
Im 33, skinny and appears to be healthy in other ppl’s eyes. I ate a lot of vegetables, meat and rice. I rarely eat candy believe or not. But I have had problems for like 10 years! I got extremely tired after meals, to the point i had to take naps at work. I also got confused a lot even had kidney spams sometimes and I had bad insomnia. For the past 10 years, my doctors never found out the problems, they always say your blood tests came back fine. It was frustrating that no one can tell me what’s wrong! I had to google around and self diagnose, I suspected I have insulin issues (signs of pre-diabetic). I have been following you since last month. You taught me how to be healthy. I am now taking less carbs, replaced white rice to brown/black rice and have been running daily. I feel like a new person! I listen to your videos when I am exercising and it gives me motivation to stay healthy and feel good. Thank you!
How did you cure your insomnia?!!!????
I eat better but I am also using a cpap, my sleep has not been an issue. Eat low carb meals and walk around for 30 minutes during the day will help!
Also forget to mention, I cut out caffeine intake too. I only drink decaf coffee now. I know how it feels with insomnia. I hope you will have quality sleep soon!
I had all the symptoms.. but at the same time my blood glucose tests results were normal. I have been on IF for few months now, started with 3 meals a day, 16:8, for few weeks, then 2 meals 18:6 and now omad. I've lost a lot of weight, went from mild obese to healthy BMI. I'm feeling great. Finding this channel has been a great blessing.
@@jasminng05 Yes! Before doing IF I was fat and constantly tired and hungry. I had joint pains and strong headaches especially around my period. All is gone now. I am feeling like a different person. Apart from IF and diet change, I also removed the biggest source of stress in my life. This also helped me.
Me too! Was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Had al the symptoms and more with sugar levels normal. Its unbelievable what your mind can do. Just needed some healthy lifestyle, meditation and exercise. I would eat 1 piece of carb and would literally pass out. Now its like nothing wrong!
Same here 🙋♀️🙂
4yrs now...16/8 intermittent fasting has reversed many of these symptoms for me. even the eye floaters have been reduced.
I reversed my T2D with healthy keto and intermittent fasting lifestyle. It is possible.
I went on a low carb diet a few years ago and 95% of my head to toe joint pain went away. Got stronger and more energetic too. It's a permanent diet for me now. A nice side effect, things that used to taste sour or bitter now taste sweet. Plain yogurt for example.
When someone masters the knowledge then he will be able to describe it understandable for others. Dear Dr. Sten it's always great to watch your videos and since I've been watching these videos I care more about my body and my nutrition habits
Thank you versatile feelings. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg Ga.
Yes, thank you Dr. Ekberg for all you videos. I know that there's a lot of work that must go into preparing and editing the videos (they take lots of time, don't they). I've learned so much in a very short time and, knowing what I know now, I have got my nutrition under control ( _i.e._ , eliminated the junk and useless carbs, etc.).
@@drekberg Du kan inte vara populär hos livsmed els indu strin!
i care more about fasting insulin,,,!
I always thought that I ate healthy by balancing my food but ever since I cut out all sugar and carbs I never felt better and my energy is up the roof ! I have one main meal and a small early dinner, sometimes I skip it. I do IF sometimes 16, 18th and once a month I don’t eat for 48hrs…that’s when I recharge the most and feel energetic! Oh and apple cide vinegar, cinnamon, lime, ginger and sea salt is a must on a empty stomack! 😄
Me too. Whenever I eat any sugar I feel like crap now. It’s so bad for you

BEAUTY BITES beast-( awaken the warrior within). By Ellen Snortland
@Beach Fitness & Health congratulations ✌️👌!! You're doing great by cutting out empty calories. Diabetes is a terrible disease. One of my cats had it...he stayed with me ,(belonged to a neighbor but found me & wouldn't leave) & had 10 extra months of life, with all kinds of great food...which his owner never gave him. Myn was getting twice daily insulin injections. Apple cider vinegar is great for many things!!! You go girl🌹
@@inbutnotof.2828 That's so true! When I eat cake now, one hour later I feel like I just ate radiactive poison, just terrible
😳 I use those ingredients separately for health. Do you mix ... then take them on an empty stomach?
I didn't realize I ate so many carbs until my blood sugar test came in high. Here is a list of my favorite foods that I now have either eliminated or have cut:
Burritos (tortilla, rice and beans), sushi (rice), pizza, sandwiches and potato chips, french fries, Chinese food (rice), etc.
It was like I was addicted to carbs because of the kick in energy it gave me.
I just needed to stop by and express the highest gratitude for Dr. Ekberg. He is one of my four goto TH-cam channels for guidance on health and wellness.
I thought I was a little “chubby” but had my weight under general control. I went for an annual physical in early august and the first thing is to step on that scale. They usually have me take my sneakers off but said it’s ok I don’t have to. I figured it may show me a few pounds higher but that’s ok. Well this 43 y/o 5’9 guy stepped on the scale and it read a whopping 231 lbs!!!! I was shocked and disgusted with myself. I looked at a picture from a few days earlier and couldn’t believe how much I was lying to myself. I was fat, period.
I knew something had to be done, once before in my life I reached 249 and never wanted to be there again, but was slowly creeping back up.
With the help of the good dr, and a few others here, I learned all about IF. I started practicing it on august 5th. I began with 16:8 for a few weeks, moved onto 18:6 for a few weeks, then OMAD ever since. I incorporated walking 10,000 steps by week 4 and added some weight training soon after for a 1:40-2:00 workout 6/7 days a week ever since.
I weigh myself once a week on Thursday mornings. Every single week after the first weeks crazy weight drop of 12 lbs (???) I lose between 3-4 lbs. my one meal is a hello fresh healthy option most nights that is always delicious.
I’m proud to say I currently weighed in this morning at 175.4 lbs, I am 15 lbs from my goal weight where my BMI lists me as “normal weight” vs “overweight” and my starting “obese” weight. I feel amazing, I actually have some slight muscle definition. I went from between a size 38-40 pants down to a 34 and I haven’t had any sizes or weights like this in over 20 years!!!
Thank you so much to the penultimate health champion, I actually think I will reach my goal now and I am so grateful for Dr. Sten Ekberg 😀
I only wish I knew all this 5 years ago. Could have saved my Dad's life.
Same here. I watched the Drs kill my dad. Now I am over 60 and super healthy.
Gosh I’m sorry
Same my dad passed from diabetes last 4th of July
So sorry 😞 would have saved my brother 🙏
@@canonen100 The pharmaceutical and medical field is filled with people who do not care for others. It's all about money. I am sorry for your Dad's loss.
I am 36 and pre diabetic. My ac1 was at 6.0 a month ago from 5.8, so that was a wake up call for me. I cut back on carbs and sugar and have lost 14lbs! I was at 174. My dr told me he will do another blood test in 3-4 months 🙏🏻.
What's the update? Everything better?
@@ArtilleryE hope they’re doing better
How did you know were you pre diabetic?
@@ted__ryan routine blood work
@@odizlee Are you better?
This man has literally changed my life. Basically he said people vary with their metabolic health or something like that. If yours is compromised/damaged then you CANNOT eat whatever others eat. Like a healthy person can have some frozen pineapple🍍 in their smoothie, a person who is not metabolically healthy cannot. This actually blew my mind. 🤯 I immediately cut out everything bad and it was alot of stuff. I think I was/am prediabetic. I am a 64 year old female. My tingling, fatigue, numbness and joint pain are GRADUALLY decreasing. I started Keto Oct. 1, 2021. I have none of the other symptoms. I am 100% in. I am now drinking Zevia.
That's awesome ♥ have you tried fasting to with the keto
Eat as little as possible fruit sugars and eat protein. Never drink hot stuff hot drinks.
Congrats! We don’t have to grow old and get sicker and sicker just to maintain the big pharma’s bottom line.

Blood test is totally fine. A1C is all you need. His graph was glucose vs insulin usage. Glucose isn’t your measurement. A1c is. This guy totally mislead you and talked A1c and then switched to glucose when he explained blood tests are unreliable.
@@jtfike I check my ac1 every 3 months
I have type 1 diabetes, and I’ve been doing keto, intermittent fasting and working out 45 mins to an hour a day EVERY day and my A1C has dropped to 5.8 from an 8. I also only take 6 units of insulin a day now down from about 24. My doctor always told me that because I have type one diabetes I can eat what I want, I just have to take more insulin. Crazy! Our endocrinologists and doctors should be using diet and exercise as medicine! I considered my keto diet and my exercise as important as the insulin I have to take.
Wow your dr told you to eat what you want? That should never be the solution. How long did it take for you to go down to 5.8? I just found out I’m at 5.9 prediabetic and doing strict keto with IF for a month so far.
@@rickytanner3 3 months.
@@beccapedersen1696 were you doing strict keto? Any complications like high bp high sugar during type 1 db?
@@rickytanner3 When I was diagnosed I went into diabetic keto acidosis, so yes, very high blood sugar. When I was in the hospital my A1C was a 14. I do strict keto, basically meat, cheese, nuts and LOTS of green veggies.
congrats for taking matters into your own hands. always keep in mind that doctors are actually pharmaceutical agents. they work for big pharma and they are never on the side of their patients. if you start eating better and exercise, then that's a big loss for big pharma. if I listened to my doctors, I'd be dead.
Thank you for the wake up call, I have most of those symptoms…need to stop denying, and putting aside my symptoms, and get busy start loving my body and take care of it, regardless if insulin resistance or not. Thank you! This video may have saved my life…❤️
Same with me. As we speak my left palm, thumb, index and middle finger are numb and tingling. I get night sweats and have had a headache for 3 days. Gained 30lbs in 5 months. Fatigue and frequent urinating. 😔. Guess it’s time to do something about it.
@@cisco537 let do it! I started yesterday. Started by fasting, and avoided carbs. My mind it’s set up and will not stop. Diabetes it’s a dangerous disease…
I’m pre diabetic so I’ve started to turn it around. I have to do it.
What would be great, is if the grocery store wasn't full of 90% garbage food.
The other ten percent is great tho! Choose wisely :)
Amen, just try to shop the perimeter usually it’s better food
Well if most people did not buy the garbage then it would be sold less and the shops would stock things people would buy. Blame the taker not the provider.
The 90% are for red states.
What we need is to eat like a Japanese, Far healthier. If you see a lot of elderly Japanese who lives so darn long. That is what everyone should strive for. Plus we need to adapt the Japanese Culture of eating 70% full and not going over that. Its part of there life to not overeating.
Thank you Dr Ekberg. I was diagnosed with pre diabetes 8 weeks ago. My doctor told me to just cut down a little on sugary drinks and eat less white bread and things would be fine. I came across your videos (among others) and I have to say that you have changed my life due to the advice you have given. I've lost nearly 3 stones (40lbs), feel better than I ever have and I could never go back to what I was doing.
I suffered from most of these symptoms you describe and I would advise anyone else who does to make that change asap. You won't regret it.
Stopped sugar cold turkey, then cut carbs, then tried IF. I can’t believe the difference in energy. I’m keeping carbs to around 50 grams daily and while not officially keto the fat burning is impressive. Your videos are excellent !
What is: IF?
@@thagrandpubah intermittent fasting
Best feeling of your life when you stop sugar. You feel that you're alive again and can think straight.

Ong! Always
No joke lol
Thank you so much! I was 0.2 away from having diabetes. If it weren't for my wonderful doctor and his insistence that I eat a keto diet, vitamins (I was deficient) and light exercise, I would probably have had full-blown diabetes. I'm out of the danger zone and on my way to restoring my health. You nailed it with all the signs.
Dr. Eckberg, I have been watching your videos on fasting for about 2 months. I gained 30 extra lbs during covid. It started when I was off sick from work for 3 weeks after catching covid. My diet was terrible during this time and my body started giving me signs. I immediately started intermittent fasting eating only once a day. My diet consists of eggs, avocados, cabbage, chicken, salmon, celery, onions,almond milk, broccoli, . Well, even without working out, i lost over 40lbs so far. I feel so much better, and all my bllod levels are normal. Thanks, for guiding me out of my bad diet habits.
Wheres the beef? The grasseaters! the organ meats so nutritional dense. lamb too !
Did you exercise?
Check out Dr. Berg as well on TH-cam.
Wow that is amazing!! I'm gonna try to go back to intermittent fasting again. I lost weight doing that with little to no exercise

This is a brilliant video. My A1C was 5.0 steady for years. I’m very good with sugars. Diabetes in family so I’m very careful. Then Covid hit, eating and activity took a nose dive.

He empowers his viewers with clear, well-researched insights that allow people to escape what can only be called The Medical Industry where patients are only cogs in a pharmaceutical factory. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
You've helped me cut out sugar. I haven't had sweets or soda for a week. Not quite ready to cut out all my carbs yet. I need to focus on not having sugar, but thanks for the start.
Yup sugar is easy to say fuc u to. But my fries and pasta. But they too will go soon
Keep that up. Some of my less educated friends are suffering diabetes now, without knowledge I don’t know how are they going to make changes
Yip iv cut suger from my diet lost 10kg ova 3wks..drop the ball in the wknds 😂😂..im sticking to it tho👍
Dont cut out all carbs you have no reason to
Impossible to cut out sugar you were born with sugar in you everything you eat has sugar in it.
My husband has T2. Had all these symptoms and I knew he was not doing well. It wasn’t until he ended up in the hospital with a heart attack did he semi sort of take it seriously. I’m watching your videos so I can help by buying the right foods. He has lost about 40lbs.& his skin tags have disappeared
Thank you so much Doc. This really helpful to potential diabetic patients like me. I am thinking of doing your 30 days no sugar diet. Really appreciate all you do to raise awareness to prioritize wellness and have a health way of life. Stay safe and God bless you and your whole family ❤️🙏😘
Because i have an athletic body, and make regular exercise, i always thought that i could eat and drink just about everything, apart from avoiding too much meat and fat (that turns out not to be as bad as it supposed to)...i've also been through a lot of stresses, which is an external factor, anyways, i've been getting a few warnings from my body that things are not quite alright, symptoms that come so slowly that at first you don't pay much attention to.
You (and a few others) have helped me a lot geting back on track without going to see a doctor that may just want to stuff you with pills and having you coming back regularly, just like a dishonest mechanic.
Very appreciated for what you do, Doc!
My number was 6.2 in may. I stopped all bread pasta rice and sweets now it’s at 5.8 lots 25 pounds. This is the way I have to eat forever, feeling better now I still get tired after eating.
Thanks dr for all your great info
walk and exercise will help

@@brightful5 bitter or butter melon?
Following another of your presentations I have drastically reduced my sugar intake (I used to eat a lot of fruit). I have taken the challenge to cut out sugar for a month. Within 2 days I noticed that my bloating in the evenings has stopped, my digestion feels much more normal after five days and I am now consuming more protein and fats. In other words I am eating like I was in my childhood and teens when sweets and desserts were almost unheard of in my home. I feel so much better and a burst abscess which was very slow to heal is definitely on the mend. I do seem to have gained a bit of weight but my waist is slimmer so I am monitoring that slowly. I do walk a lot with my dog so exercise isn’t a problem for me. I am almost 72 years of age and feeling quite well. I can definitely recommend the advice you are giving.
This is just an update on the above. Another two weeks have passed and lo and behold, my jeans and skirts are sliding down, I have no bloating. I certainly don’t get really hungry between meals. I am eating fruit in moderation but trying to keep to high fibre fruits. Most desserts are berries with full fat plain Greek Yoghurt and I’m finishing my meals fully Satiated. I was previously on a low fat diet, in fact yo-yo-ing on a number of low fat diet periods which worked well in the early days but was extremely difficult to maintain without snacking in-between meals and the problem with most instant snacks is the sugar they contain. I have had a bag of sweets in my car for the last almost four weeks which I haven’t helped myself to and previously I would be eating them on every journey. I’m also still walking with my dog using a step counter on my watch and I do an average of 15,000 to 18,000 steps each day. As I said in my previous comment, I will be 72 later this week and have no problem tying the laces on my trainers. I really feel that I have found the answer to a number of minor health problems particularly in relation to my skin, hair and nails. I’m still recommending the advice in this video. Thank you so much for posting.
fruit sugar doesn‘t make you diabetic. you must have eaten a lot of candy not fruit
@@Glockhead1 fructose increases insulin resistance if you have more than your liver (the only organ that processes it) can safely handle in a given time, and it is overwhelmed.
It doesn't increase your blood glucose, that's true, but it does result in fats vis gluconeogenesis first around and in the liver, later the pancreas, and that factors heavily into increased insulin resistance.
Dr Sten Ekberg you are the first doctor that has talked about real numbers for diabetes being a maths man and studied my diabetes for over 8 years and have controlled my diabetes by diet from an A1C of 86 down to 43 mm mmols / mol.
The average normal non diabetic was 5.233 % with half being below this number and half being above this number up to 5.8%.
As you can see I am familiar with both scales 5.8% = 40 mmol/mol.
Diabetes is a ladder we all climb and it’s a ladder we can decend.
I do love your lectures o keep up the good work
I am SO annoyed that my doctor doesn’t know this. I asked for an insulin test and was refused point blank.
Thank You Bb Said. You and me are both frustrated. The system is set up to treat the symptoms of disease after there is a problem, but never actually improve function and health. 😐
My fam doc referred me to a nutritionist a month ago, and when I asked her how does an A1c calculate blood sugar after only 1 blood test, she didn't know. Really? Thank goodness I landed on Dr Sten a month ago, and been watching all the series. The greatest health education ever !
Change doctors
@@drekberg I'm a Brit living in South Carolina, preventative health care is almost scoffed at here, it's almost like it's easier to treat an issue than to prevent it, but obviously it's a money thing. Far more money in treating a patient than not having one to begin with. When you make our health part of a "for profit" system then the money will always take priority. However my national health underpaid UK Doctors made many mistakes just with me growing up. Getting sent away from the Doctors with a broken leg, in 2 places no less, having a filling implode and then the crown used to fix it failed. I got sent to hospital with a blocked heart valve, turned out I had appendicitis and thankfully the surgeon caught it. Got sent home from the Doctors with internal bleeding, he thought it was diarrhea, I was later rushed to the hospital. So there you have it, that's how free health care works, by not actually working. Great channel you have here. Thank you.
@@drekberg A diabetic who's dependent on insulin for the rest of their life is a lot more profitable than a healthy person who rarely needs to visit the doctor.
Just got my result of 5.5 and was told it was normal. However, need to make some changes now so I won’t skip into the prediabetic group. Thank you very much for this video.
I got 5.3 at Kaiser and told I was normal. I think I'll start working on it before it gets worse.
So happy I found this video. I'm 28 but recently have noticed my vision seeming to be worsening quickly, been tired for years, circulation worrying and just remembered I did some blood tests a couple months ago. My A1C is 5.5, time to make some changes
My two sons Temo & Savino are still young enough to fight off this terrible life threatening disease. They both have their best life ahead of them full of potential & I pray they take their health seriously while there’s still a chance. Everything you’ve said in this video is 100% accurate as I see this in the medical field I work in and I see this in my families life and in my own. Thanks Doc for this easy to understand explanation.
As always, Dr. Ekberg, you have done another fine job of explaining our complex biology in an easily understandable way. Thanks for your continued great work.
My doctor for 7 years never even offered an A1c. Through my own research and curiosity I had to actually ask to get it. The current Healthcare strategy in America is a total train wreck.
Your absolutely correct. Instead of telling you to change your diet and exercise, they will put you on plethora of pills for life!!!
It's the same here in the UK. I almost fell asleep behind the wheel on two occasions and several times at my desk in work and yet the doctor only tested my blood sugar levels and declared there was nothing wrong with me.
Maybe it's just where I live, but many physicians are Seventh Day Adventists, who eschew alcohol and meat. They tend to be very aware of lifestyle risks, and won't hesitate to educate you on them!
@@evelynwaugh4053 it's a good thing early humans in Northern latitudes weren't Seventh-day Adventist or they would have starved to death
Wow. That is so sad.
Thanks Dr., I love the way you explained complex / scientific / medical terms in a simple and easy manner for ordinary people to understand it easily, especially people whose English is not their first language like me. ❤❤❤❤❤
Dr. Ekberg, this video takes me back to my early years back in school. I use to enjoy taking my human biology classes. I have a lot of the symptoms which you have described for example sore knee joints due to inflammation. I thought this was due to my weight. I now know better. Also blurred vision amongst other things. You have pointed me in the right direction. Your videos are a Godsend. Keep up the great work.
They have found alot of people having blurred vision due to cell phones today
I think I was starting to go down the T2D path a few years ago, during which my eyesight started to go. I started intermittent fasting, watching carbs and trying to avoid the worst culprits and my optometrist could hardly notice any change at my last eye exam. Thanks Dr Ekberg!
Those testimonies about the eyes definitely hit different.
what did you do for fasting? I would like to try that
This is a video I can show my parents! Your presentations mature to intelligible and shocking experiences. Really thanks a lot!
Thank you Dr E for this very concise, informative, & understandable teaching! I’ve been ignoring the signs and now finally piecing all my different symptoms together and it’s pointing to pre diabetes! So mad at myself for ignoring it for so long! Now I have the information I need to fight against this! You are a life saver! Thank you! ❤️
Same😔 and my doctor didn't mention any symptoms nor ask
@@rainwhite2707 I have to wonder why family doctors tend to ignore this until it's too late. Perhaps complicity with big pharma?
@@johnvaldes8725 don't care
Hi! May I know exactly what your first symptoms were? Were they a lot?
Some other symptoms of high blood sugar are acidy stomach (GERD), irritability and moodiness (especially noticeable in children), claudification (uncontrollable twitching of legs), and neuropathy (shooting pains in hands and feet). Fatty liver is also a major result.
I love this video on Prediabetes.... Straight on facts, nothing "sugarcoated." (....No pun intended.)
👍😉
Hello Dr. Ekberg:). I have been no sugar for about 3 weeks and today is my fourth 18/6. I have lost approximately 1 pound a day. It’s so encouraging to see the scale drop! On the low fat diet I was on I was always hungry. I didn’t understand all of this and still have so much more to learn but I am sticking to it! Thank you so much! My stubborn stomach fat is going down each day:)👍😊
Hello Julie 👋
When you say no sugar did you cut out fruit?
@Hampy At first I ate no fruit except I did have tomatoes with my greens. I added a lot of avocado to my diet too.
Hi Julie congrats can we get an update ? How much have you lost to date ?
Im lost what are these numbers ppl are referring to 18/6 etc...
You have done amazing ..I need so babky to loose the weight i have cut the sugar also working on the carbs its a process dor aure But i am getting serious now....took me 3 weeks to wrap my head aeound wverything ...
This is very eye opening because most of this symptoms occur and many don’t know what it really means until it’s too late
I’ve had tingling and numbness in my hands and arms for years, never realized it could be a sign of pre-diabetes.
What did u do
Me too 😳
@@theresag.4188 whats ur blood sugar level?
Dr you started my Keto life by watching your videos & 9 months on I'm the healthiest I've been in a very long time. Thankyou with all my heart.
Before starting my very low carb way of eating, I would always keep an eye on my hba1c! It’s as if I was waiting for the doctors to give me bad news every time (ironic I know). I’m shocked at how I managed to get to 321lbs without having pre-diabetes. Made a lucky escape in the nick of time! Thanks for sharing this great information doc🙏🏾🤗
You're welcome MyKetoCarnivoreLife. My pleasure. Thanks for watching 😄
Wow! I can't believe you weren't pre-diabetic. That was lucky indeed.
I'm experiencing 90% of these symptoms. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Thank you sir.
Genius presentation! The absolute best way of explaining the issue. I have been concerned about this issue for a number of years because I work long hours and occasionally binged on junk foods for a period of time and then become pre-diabetic. I usually realign my diet and my blood sugar drops back to the normal range. But I need to consider getting my blood sugar lower and not repeating this dangerous cycle. Thanks Doctor Sten, very much appreciated.
I need to keep re-watching Your videos whenever I think of getting some sweets full of sugar or junk food, just as a reminder.
Same!
I do this too.
One of Dr. Stens best and timely videos, and a good wake up call.
1.high blood sugar, not high enough to be diabetic
2. Elevated insulin
3. Fatigue after eating
4. Poor wound healing
5. Numbness and tingling
6. Kidney issues
7. Blurred vision
8. Joint pain
9. Weight gain
10.hunger
All
@@tiffanybumbrey4588I have all theses except weight gain
Dr. Ekberg , Thank you - so much - for getting this PRICELESS information out to people! 🌹🙏🏻💖
Wishing You & Your Subscribers a WONDERFUL weekend! 🤗
Thank you Maria, how are you doing?
I've lost loved ones to diabetes and can see signs of prediabetes in some others. This video really helped to explain to them the urgency of managing this condition.
Thanks doc!
An incredibly informative presentation, which elucidates why everybody should be mindful of their diet annd health. I've really learned so much in 16 minutes, thanks.
Well explained Doctor, thanks for sharing this video. Stay safe everyone.
Fantastic information and very easy to understand.
So much to undo to get on the healthy side. I recently started to really focus on reading the ingredients on packages and discovering 90% of the food in our stores are loaded with added sugar and harmful chemicals that can lead to so many health issues in a long term. I encourage you all to start reading ingredients.
Thank you so very much Doc! Have a great weekend!
Thank God I am no longer in that 88 million people category.in the usa....Lost all my weight and my a1c is 5.3 instead of 6.2..It took a year on very low carb with exercise...a great accomplishment...my next goal is to quit smoking.
Awesome Emily
Ohhh these darn cigarettes 😭 I need to quit as well. Congrats on all your progress
Thank you Emily E for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! Look into EFT/Tapping to help quit smoking.😄
Congratulations. That's awesome
You put diet ahead of smoking..?
Dear Dr. Sten, listening to your advice has greatly improved my quality of life. I am infinitely grateful to you! Many thanks 🙏
Thank you for your videos, I learned new things that I have not learned when I was younger. Been applying my learning though it’s a struggle, observing and controlling my carb intake, hopefully I will get my desired health goal!
Man you're great at teaching this stuff. So in depth, yet so well-explained.
The fatigue after a high carb meal was a big one. I used to have a nap after breakfast if I could. I also got fatigue after a heavy dose of sweets. I learnt more about health and diet from watching TH-cam than 4 years of study for a biomedical engineering degree. I did learn a tonne about replacing arthritic joints with prostheses without ever looking at lifestyle interventions. Insulin pumps and negative feedback control systems, you bet. Simply doing a low carb diet, no one mentioned it.
What's causing fatigue after taking some sweets , what is the disease?? Please help I have this problem. Sometimes I feel numbness
And also dizziness in the morning
Could be insulin resistance. But see a doc for the specifics.
I'm 37 and have all these symptoms with the exception of maybe 3. The joint pain and numbness makes my job an day to day activities pretty difficult.
Where do I start?. Tired of going to my Dr and given pill after pill for different things. I have a whole cabinet of medicine that I'm not taking. I've seen 1st hand what pills can do to my mother. It's heatmrt breaking. So I've just chosen to live with the pain. This video makes so much sense in how I feel everyday.
I’m pre diabetic (A1C was 6.1 at last lab) and I have EVERY symptom except frequent urination (you’ve explained why, thank you!) Subscribed! You’re my new online PCP 🤗
Does blurred vision reverse itself?
Same here. Started doing omad and fasting for 48 hours weekly. This is my lifestyle now for the rest of my life. I don’t crave or desire food like before. I’m hardly ever hungry and don’t crave sweets or chips any longer. Lost 15pds in about 2-3 weeks already. Thanks Dr Eckberg. We need real doctors like you around.
Dr. Ekberg, always appreciate being educated by you about improving and staying healthy. You help folks become empowered with their health.
Hello Nancy 👋
Amazing doctor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am to find this channel! I finally have some understanding of my problem and can make some changes that are actually surprisingly easy to make!
Thank you so much Sten. Your demonstrations are so clear, so convincing !
Really good info. Presented clearly and concisely.
Thank you Val Garvin. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
this is a verry scarry alarming video and exacly what i needed to hear to get me back to work of what i allready knew and were i dont wanne be. thank u!
Thank you Doc ! I have been IR for several years . My waistline is bigger than is should be . I have dropped 20 pounds in 3 months by cutting Sugar, and bread. I also cut out salt and don’t miss it . My PCP said , lose weight and exercise. That meant nothing to me until I started watching and subscribing to Dr Awesome’s channel - Age 59 .
I live in the Northeast and wish he’d open an office up here .
You more than any other Doctor, Dr Ekberg, has driven home the message, that has me converted. I cant thankyou enough for your passion .
Dr. Ekberg Thanks a lot for opening my eyes. I have made so many changes to my diet and I feel a lot better. I know what to look and ask for whenever I do blood test; your videos are easy to understand and follow. Your passion for health and your sense of urgency to make these changes show in every video. God bless you!!!
This is good to know so important thank you so much.
Thank you for this. I've had insulin resistance for YEARS. But it hasn't been until recently that I have focused on learning more about it. I always wondered why I can lose a few pounds, but my belly was always big. I have recently started IF and lowering my carb intake and I've lost a few pounds and my belly isn't so round anymore. So grateful for your information and explanation.
The larger belly also comes from your liver being full of glucose and enlarged. Reducing carbs burns up excess glycogen (glucose) in the liver and makes it smaller.
That just clicked for me as well. Good luck to us all. 🙏🏻
All the best amazing women and mothers
@@_m_K_. oh so my belly fat could be do to bad dieting and not pre-diabetes
Hey, fasting twice a week really helps you with controlling your insulin. Look up the benefits of fasting. I do it because the benefits outweigh the annoyance of not being allowed to eat what l want, when l want. Putting your body first once a week is the most humbling thing to do for yourself.
I cry because you have given me hope. For the last 70 years no one has told me what you say, so now I must be insulin resistant because of the symptoms I feel. I just turned 70. I have dropped all carbs and sugars and I am working on dropping starches and processed sausage which has BHA in it. I had not thought of all those chemicals changing me. Now I read all the labels. Tap water is full of toxins. I am buying a distiller as soon as possible. I am dropping all foods that are not organic.
Thank you SO MUCH !
It’s maddening to me when a video does not get to the point early on. For example, how long do I have to wait & wonder before learning the answer to the key question: Is Pre-diabetes reversible??
Best teacher I have ever seen in my whole life ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Thank you a lot for all this awesome knowledge! I am a lot more insulin resistant than 3 months ago. More keto to go. Lost no muscle mass (do a lot of weight training) and lost 10 Kg and felling better than ever !
Best from Germany
You are literally saving lives and improving humanity. Thank you for your excellent content. Liked and subscribed. Aloha 🤙Bill
Best explanation of pre-diabetes I have ever heard. Thank you for this..
Knowledge is power. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
Disagree, knowledge is only knowledge. Power is based off the action(s) implemented from the knowledge the individual gained. I could learn how to build a spaceship, but if I never build one whats the power of having the knowledge?
Greatly appreciated those videos from Dr Ekberg. All of them were explained clearly in layman terms to help me understand how the body really works. And most importantly, help me to manage health effectively. With the information provided through this channel, I have the confident to start keto diet 2 months ago. Definitely my waistline is slimming down slowly, but other parts of my health problems like insomnia is not going away yet. I am so glad to know that 5.7 is bother line whereas my the paper of my blood test showed "within normal range". Luckily, I am doing the right things on time to reverse insulin resistance. Thank you Dr Ekberg for your good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless all of us 😇😇😇😇. Cheers🌅😀
Thank you Dr Ekberg. I learned so much from this easy to understand and well presented video. Thanks again.
Thanks doc, I've definitely learned something of importance today.
