Let's talk about how to test for insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone that prevents sugar from building up too high in your blood. For example, if you consume too many carbs and your blood sugar rises too high, insulin comes in and removes it to help keep the blood sugars at a constant level.
Normally, sugar is used as fuel in the body. But, with insulin resistance, sugar is converted into fat. One of the purposes of insulin is to prevent fat-burning and encourage fat-storing.
Insulin resistance is a situation where insulin is not working, so the body has to compensate by making more and more insulin. With insulin resistance, carbohydrates are not burned easily. Instead, they are shunted to the liver, where they start to develop fat within the liver.
Indications of insulin resistance:
• High triglycerides in your blood
• High LDL (specifically small-dense particles)
• Carb intolerance
Symptoms of carb intolerance:
• Weight gain
• Blood sugar levels are too high or too low
• Bloating after eating carbs
• Fatigue after eating carbs
• Craving carbs
• You're hungry all of the time
• Excessive urination at night
• Moodiness
• Irritability
• Loss of focus, concentration, and memory
There is also a really good test that you can do to determine if you have insulin resistance. Many doctors are not familiar with this test, but it is called HOMA-IR. This is the best objective test to measure insulin resistance.
This test looks at the relationship between two things, your fasting blood glucose and your fasting blood insulin. This test tells you to what degree you have insulin resistance.
To help get rid of insulin resistance, get on the ketogenic diet and do intermittent fasting.

There was a health hotel i could stay in for 3 months and all food options were keto approved.
All other hotel attendees are there with similar goals, rooting for each other.

They have “ fasting retreats” in Sedona Arizona. You go to a place and they pretty much lock you up in the area with no food. But they have other people fasting and they have tons of activities. Game rooms. Home theaters. Outdoor activities. Hot tubs and so on

Finding Dr Berg and changing my lifestyle was like life giving me a second chance
Best medical advice channel … better than any overpaid consultant in the NHS in the UK..🙂 have been going to the gym for 3 years with no visible change to my physique … then after following Dr Berg, I started reducing carbs, doing intermittent fasting and eating lot more veg.. now I can see a real difference after 6 months.. belly is still not flat but the abs are getting more defined..
Very well done. I was doing lots of gym before healthy keto and intermittent fasting but nothing could make me loose my belly. It's only after I understood how to do healthy keto and intermittent fasting based on Dr Berg's videos that I got a flat belly. Especially with his electrolytes. In a few days I could see my abs without exercises.
Beyond fasting and healthy keto diet. I learned from the book of Alexandre Doumenach MD I recommend that magnesium, zinc, potassium, vitamin K2-mk7 and even iodine are great for insulin resistance. I try to pay attention to this nutrients. Greeting! Informative video doc!

Thank you again, pls keep this information coming. There should be some kind of national awareness, sugar is worse than Tobacco, people are dying and they don’t know why! Governments and health organizations know about it but they close their eyes for their own benefits. Sugar should be treated the same way as Tobacco!!! A bottle of sugary drink should have same warning signs as cigarette pack !! People are dying from obesity related illnesses!!
I don't think its sugar as much as food additives and lack of exercise.
Sugar, and all processed foods as well as vegetable oils and any carbs except green vegetables
@@janjohns8291 I'm not sure I would say all sugars tho. Everyone has a different tolerance level based on their genetics and their own health & metabolism.
@H S I agree. If they really cared they would, they just pretend to care while appeasing the system of keeps us sick and makes the big ag, chemical, food and pharma industry richer and more powerful. The media plays it's role using advertising and controlling the narrative of course. It's scary stuff. Now we need vaccines to keep us healthy so it seems...really ?
Thank you Dr Berg. As brilliant as always 🌸.
I appreciate all of your videos. I work in a health food grocery store and we have a very large vitamin department. I utilize some of your information to help my customers.
I'm on Healthy Keto for over 2 years now and I got my HOMA-IR tested a few weeks ago. My marker is at 0.7.
Andreas : Thanks for sharing your story.However,telling us your marker is .7 without explaining what a normal HOMA-IR value is,leaves out some need to know information.
@@ebayerr Everything below 2.5 is considered normal. However, when it' below 1.0 you're very insulin sensitive and the hormon works just fine with all it's functions. 🙂
@@andreas380: Good tp know.
@@andreas380 Thanks for answering the question. I was very curious.
@@ebayerr Fasting glucose x fasting insulin divide by 405 = less than 2 ok. 2 to 3 type 2 and above 3 type 1. for example glucose 100 x insulin index 8.2 = 820 divide by 405 = 2.02 means no IR
Wow!! This is the best explanation of insulin resistance and it’s relationship to diabetes I have ever heard!! The marker levels were not included in the information.
Nice sharing. I needed this information Thank you so much.
yep, i went to test my blood (poland), asked for this, the nurse went to check what is this test, came back after 15 minutes just to tell me they have no clue what i’m talking about.
It's not a true test, so it's a bit misleading. It's a calculation done using fasting insulin and fasting glucose. The tests performed are glucose and insulin. Maths can give you the homa ir.

A lot of women can’t sleep thru the night bc we have bladder issues. If I take Vit C a couple hours before bed it calms my bladder down so I’m not up all night. This info might help someone else. 💜
Once you are truly fat adapted, in ketosis, very low carb
@@janjohns8291 I'm not interested in keto but thanks. I weigh 100 lbs and already look like a scarecrow. I can't imagine what keto would do to my weight. I'm super healthy but I do have bladder issues caused mostly by menopause. Glad you do not deal with it. God bless! 💜
Hi Diana, Keto is for optimum weight so one doesn’t lose weight necessarily at all if your weight is already optimum. Dr Berg recommends Collonsonia Root for urinary circulation improvement as well as all eliminatory function. Sugar and carb intake definitely inflames the bladder and urinary function. Good luck
@@janjohns8291 I fixed it with adding in an extra vit C pill per day. But thank you. Curious what is your BMI? And how long you have been on keto.
There is no need for special preparations before testing for insulin resistance, but it is preferable to fast 8 to 12 hours before the test and the sample required is a blood sample taken from a vein.

I did all tests and all came out good, but still I have all this symptoms that match insuline resistance 🤷

I benefit from all ur videos, very informative and love how u explain . With IF, I feel great 👍 and my blood sugar# getting so much better and this morning was 135 . Thanks Dr Berg 🙏🙏🙏
In UK, type 2 is only managed by HbA1C number. Other testes are not done until one goes to hospital with problems!!
Here in Germany most of the physicians are the same. They ignore my requests. Seems like they want to wait until they can amputate something and tell me I have diabetes, instead of checking prediabetes.
Thanks doctor, u explain lucidly about all these things. Again thanks from deep of my heart
Thanks. Glad you like how I explain things.
Thank You Doctor Eric Berg 🙏
You're most welcome!
Watching this video realised that the couse of my food cravings could be insulin resistance.. expecially when I am stressed. I am on Keto diet and intermittent fasting for about 3 months but seems to go further to fix it. And be just on banced diet. Thanks Dr Berg for all your advice.. incredible useful....xxx
The Bergster keeps hitting home runs!
Very informative..thank you, Dr Berg 🙏😁
Most welcome!
68 female, hypothyroid, neuropathy, insomniac, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, breast cancer survivor. My doctor never tests for this, but, I have many of these symptoms.
I must say that I had all of the symptoms listed in this video and they all disappeared after I cut gluten from my diet about 6 months ago.
Wow that’s really interesting, I want to try going gluten free!
Gluten will cause many problems over time, definitely. Cutting it helps a lot and it's a good start. Cutting gluten alone did help me a lot, but it's really the keto-intermittent fasting combination that is helping me shed the accumulated pounds. And I have a lot of fat to lose!
Keto and IF are definitely the direction I'm headed in but SLOWLY. Tried it during the summer of 2001 and had great success over 6 weeks. But I didn't have all the info I needed back then and wound up with kidney stones! Now I feel better prepared but still "eazy-duz-it!"
Wow! Cool! Thank you so much for sharing.
@@MDGauthier1806 Agreed.
Please give formula to calculate homa ir !
I share one of my reading here: I find a research telling us BBR can reduce glucose when blood sugar is high, but not effect blood sugar when it is low. Very interesting. It is s study over ten years. Researchers also find out that there is a certain group of people their insulin is not sufficient when they are young, but later age will developed to IR at end it beta cell will die quickly than normal people. I will say it is true! I knew it, and it confuses me long time. The research said it could be the problem about calcium and potassium metabolism problems. I remembered Dr. Berg talk about it in one of his videos Re Mg. Anyone has any opinions? English is not my first language but I am trying to keep up with dr. Berg video. :)
Have wondered if calcium or sodium or potassium ion problems in some people that regular "help" doesnt work for. Listening to Anglela Stanton on migraines, mentions migrainers have diff kinds of brain and use more sodium up, so need more and do better wo sugar. There are so many things that effect our health, thoughts, activities, food....
Thanks! What is BBR? Please.

In Nov ‘21
My A1C was 5.7, FBG was 110, was tired ALLLL the time, HUNGRY all the time. I was think but inside fat and getting unhealthy.
Although it was my endocrinologist he didn’t order further tests like Homa IR, etc but anyway I was so scared when the Dr told
Me I was prediabetic And prescribed metformin
I hit the internet and found Dr. Berg. I went COLD TURKEY healthy keto, bought a BG monitor, did the ACV thing, learned how to fast from Dr B and basically listened to every video of his for MONTHS to stay motivated.
Thanks to Dr Berg, A1C is 5.0, FG normal, c peptide Normal, HOMA IR normal, insulin normal, energy improved…
NO THANKS to mainstream medical I feel 100% better and while it’s hard sometimes, I haven’t looked back and over 1 year later, I am still following the plan.
Today is my 50th birthday 😱 and I am so grateful for Dr. Berg. I would have been following the MSM “food pyramid” and would be a real
Hot mess vs getting better and feeling better every day!
THANK YOU DR. BERG!
Back in 2019 my doctor refused to make insulin fasting test. The doctor is an American board certified endocrinologist.
I've noticed some doctors don't like when you request a test and they become resistant (pun intended).
Incredible.
@@jbz2291 They are highly tests resistants...
Doctors have pills and jabs to push so don’t expect them to actually promote good health.
Same here. I finally found one who would make the test, but didn't know how to interpret it.

@@carmen_sandiego000 you must have never had teenagers.
I’ve been on healthy keto for 12 days. The first 5 days I felt awesome. Then I felt super weak and fatigued. I started taking and eating anything with potassium. I rested the entire day. I felt somewhat better by the next day. I’m not sleeping and now I feel a burning or heartburn in my chest. I don’t have the energy I did in those first 5 days. I lost 7 pounds the first week and I have gained 1 pound since and I’m stuck. Oh and I’ve just started having to get up to pee two times in the night.
E Wood: Yep.Insomnia,having to pee a lot and constipation are all common side effects of the Keto/IF lifestyle.
I've been on this regime for a year now and like many,many other people whose comments I've read over the past year,I've been dealing with these same issues and trying to find solutions.
It's not just you,it affects a lot of people the same way.
I even had a sleep study done because I thought I had sleep apnea,but after completing the study,I found out I don't.
And I use senna herbal tea at night to combat the occasional constipation,as well as using a non herbal laxative now and again.
It's a struggle for sure.
@@ebayerr if you drink apple cider vinegar once a day, you will have no problem with the constipation.
The simplest is a few scoops of Dr Berg's electrolytes formula. Throughout the day.
You may want to use a nutrients app to locate and avoid deficiencies. It's normal when starting a new project to not know how to do it correctly.

Hi Dr. Eric Berg. I have been watching your videos about diabetes and Insulin resistance for a while now to learn more about it. My mom has diabetes, she is 68 and has had it for many years,she is very petite, not overweight at all. How come she has that if the insulin was never stored as fat first? Also my cousin is only 30 years old,he is very fit,and his diabetes is a lot higher than my mom's even is. After just eating a small cinnamon roll,the blood sugar test doesn't show the number anymore,it gets so high that it only shows "high" he has been on a healthy diet for almost a year, barely ever eats rise,sweets,and any carbs and sweets you can think of. How come that he still has this problem?

I test how strong my resistance is by having a high ketone count in my blood, then I eat some bread and look how long it takes while not eating (fasting or keto diet) my ketones to come back. If it's a long time it meant I had high levels of insulin in my blood for the whole time. Ketones can't get produced when we have a lot insulin in our blood.
I'm new to this so what exactly would you do to obtain the ketones? And what did you feel like when the insulin was produced?
@@lKILLA You can't feel insulin, you only feel when you have too much sugar in your blood. To stay in ketosis I eat vegetables with not many carbs and with it eggs or meat.

is there is a way of measring insulin sensitvity without a blood sample?

We don’t have HOMA IR Test here in Australia.
Take a fasting glucose and insuline test. You can calculate the HOMA IR value.
There are many websites telling you how to.
How do we buy one of these tests? I could not find it on Amazon.
some doctors say that HOMA- IR is not good enough, need to to do a test, where they give people 50 grams of pure sugar and then they test blood glucose and insulin levels for every hour up to five hours. Don't remember the name.
carbosugarsulin resistance test??
😜😜😜
Oral glucose tolerance test
cant get my doctor to do anything but push statins.. probably would still be on metformin also.. keto cured my prediabetes but im very insulin resistance but half of my symptoms are gone except my ldl cholesterol and my fasting glucose is still about 100 some days my alc is 5.0.. he still says i have a potential for diabetes..... went to doc yesterday 10-14.. said ldl was 208 up 47 points and total choles... 286 up 43 points. .. i wish i had known about this tests.. but i did tell him my concerns
I want to do this HOMA-IR test...but in my hometown here in indonesia, there's no these type of test available. I already ask in the clinic. So any suggestion, Dr Berg?
Go to an endocrinologist
My primary care physician says their lab does not do HOMA-IR; rather, they offer LP-IR (Lipoprotein Insulin Resistance.)
I need to quantify my insulin resistance. What is the difference between these tests?
Ought I go elsewhere for HOMA-IR?
My bloodtest shows my IR as 11.2 which is a bit high. The max normal range according to the pathologist is 9.
You're talking about the insuline level or the Homa ir formula result

Cool, thank you. I was wondering how do we know if we are insulin resistant and I am!
Good morning
I was just diagnosed as pre-diabetic. 144 glucose 52 sugar. I'm a heavy dr pepper drinker, never drink water or alcohol. Southern, so I admit there's a lot of fried foods. I immediately switched to dr pepper zero and am watching what I eat. I don't know what I'm doing. Dr's don't really tell you much. So I'm on a search for what will work. I have noticed cutting sugar has made me feel really good. I am drinking tons of green tea and water. My question is, how do I do intermittent fasting? How do you switch your family to keto without them complaining?
Regarding getting one's family doing healthy keto, I find using Dr Berg's electrolytes mixed with keto recipes really helps. Because it's very nutrients rich. I make all kinds of sweet recipes with it.
Tell them ear or starve stop let them control the house my house my rules simpld
I've always sort of stayed on the keto diet without thinking of it, well into my 30s I'm healthy, no meds, nothing, I'm never sick. We live in a world where people are becoming more and more sick, there is a pill and an injection for everything, i always believed the answer is far simpler, i stay far far away from the processed junk in the grocery store, i mostly buy directly from the local farmers, i know where the food comes from and what it is and who grew it
How do you know if you have insulin resistance?
We can't get a test for insulin in the UK, nor a Homa IR ..
The western medical care. What a mess.
You can calculate the HOMA IR, but you need to find a physician who makes an insulin test.
