Watching your videos - I do think you are great mentor Dr. Ekberg. But my concern at this video is: what about case of diabetise Type 2 when the pancreas is so tired it gives much less insulin it is expected?

[@aahilhadi7291]

U r the best dr i have ever seen ur way of explaining is amazing m healing myself through ur lectures thankuuu so much for changing my lifestyle i watched ur video fst time 10 days ago n now anciously w8ing ur upcoming vidroes bcz m learning so much about my sick n miserable body again very big n warm thanx from bottim of my heart .God bless u alot

[@drekberg]

It is only less than expected because the expected amount is enormous. Most type 2 's have a high insulin production. The exception is when long term dysfunction leads to immune attacks on the pancreas, called type 1.5 (rare).

[@po_jaki_ch_to]

@@drekberg I understand that prescribing metformin "cure" 🤣 and intaking it by the patient is only forceing his/her body cells to absorb glucose (liver cells or other cells too?) by a huge increment of insulin receptors. Actualy is it inhibition of IR in simplest words? Appreciate your response. Best regards from Poland.

I started keto in January for weight loss and convinced my sister to try it. She's been T2 for around 10 years. She's about 4 months into her keto lifestyle and had her 6 month checkup last week... Her A1C was normal and her doctor told her she's no longer diabetic.

[@cclearyt]

Hello! It's awesome to hear that, but I'd like to ask you a question- when you say that she's no longer diabetic, does that mean that she is not experiencing the symptoms of t2 that she had? Or the things are permanently damaged in her case? I guess it depends on how bad her situation was, but still... I want to understand what does the phrase "no longer diabetic" mean? Because if it only talks about the blood markers, but the symptoms or damages stay and are not really possible to heal, then it's not really "no longer diabetic", isn't it?

This subscriber says thank you. After decades of eating what I wanted, in my early 60s I began to experience foot discomfort mostly in my right foot. I "ignored" and lived with it for a few years. I was stubborn.The last 2 years have been terrible with about 4 types of pain that was at time literally crippling.Some swelling also. I got serious and researched natural remedies for what I learned to be,from much research, type 2. I made drastic changes in my diet beginning 10 weeks ago by cutting carbs,sugars,starches etc. and reducing calories. I began drinking large ,no fruit, maybe half a banana, kale smoothies with whey protein powder and Silk brand pea protein "milk" . After about 6 weeks my foot pain and swelling changed dramatically. About a 80% improvement. I used to walk around saying "Oh my foot !" from the pain. Now I walk around saying "Oh my foot" from a pleasurable perspective from the lack of pain. Going forward and learning more from those like Dr Ekberg about how to tweak my diet towards even better results gives me much hope for myself as I close out my 60s and start my 70s.

The word “doctor” is derived from the Latin word docco, which means “to teach.” You are a true doctor and a professor Dr. Eckberg. The medical people that sit up in offices with their names and specialties custom embroidered on their white smocks with a stethoscope hanging around their necks are "practitioners" that practice on sick patients using toxic drugs, risky procedures, and surgery, and are not true doctors in the real sense of the word, to their patients because they rarely teach anything in that setting. They are generally nothing but drug dealers for big pharma, treating symptoms only, and making their sick patients even sicker with all the side effects of those drugs, insuring never ending repeat business and big profits!

[@njw709]

Dr. Ekberg, I have been watching your videos for only a few months. But I have learned more from you about insulin resistance, diabetes, and nutrition than I have from my doctors. I have been “treated” for type 2 diabetes with a variety of medications for more than 20 years only to see it get worse and worse. None of my doctors ever mentioned low-carb eating or fasting as a way to reverse my diabetes. After only 2 months on low-carb/IF, I have already lost 24 pounds and nearly eliminated my use of insulin. I have hope, for the first time in years, that I can restore my health and enjoy my life instead of worrying about an “inevitable” progression of diabetes and all of the damaging impacts. Thank you so much for your help.

[@Powerman80923]

Dr. Ekberg, I agree with your statement that T2 diabetes is "not a disease", unless there is truly a genetic cause for continuously high insulin levels for some people. Health issues that are self inflicted should not be called diseases, in my opinion. That gives folks an excuse to just let "whatever" happen, and say "it's not my fault".

[@drekberg]

Some people want excuses and some want solutions. The knowledge needs to be offered for the ones who want the solution. It is mostly self inflicted, but due to ignorance.

My husband's doctor has him on Metformin and Rosuvastatin. Told him this is a lifetime condition so he has to take this for the rest of his life. Yesterday I saw he had a regular 16 oz. Pepsi accompanied by a large bag of M & M's, so I asked, " what are you doing to yourself"?. He said the doctor told him that it was OK to treat himself to sugar since his glucose numbers are pretty stable. He doesn't exercise and frequently eats at Mc Donald's plus a large daily dose of all kinds of refined carbs. So the way I see it we all have a choice. I watch your videos almost daily, I do intermittent fasting everyday, 18-6 and I do a 2 to 3 day fast occasionally. By the way my husband did say I was crazy. I eat zero sugar and basically avoid anything that has a label. Zero vegetable oils and on fairly steady Keto diet for a year and no shortage of energy. At 70 I'm still snowboarding and mountain biking . You can lead a horse to water .......... right?

Thanks Dr. Ekberg giving holistic view of diabetes, a physiological imbalance which does not need a cure but restoring balance (homeostasis) . Doctors in developing countries still recommend six small meals instead of three big meals per day. Your advice, Intermittent fasting , had been practiced by Buddhist monks about 2500 years ago and took only one meal a day (6 hour window ; Dr. Fung), another philanthropic doctor. More meals per day means bigger market for processed food and more diabetes. It means more pills and more artificial insulin, a market for pharmaceuticals. You are on the path of saving lives of millions of mislead people. Mislead by learned people. Thanks again sharing your wisdom!

[@DJdavefromlondon]

Love your content, a suggestion : you often mention we should reduce sugar . I worry that most people understand this to mean reduce table sugar ie i take 3 tablespoon of sugar in my coffee , I should reduce that to 1 or 0. My point is that you should advise people to reduce specific foods..bread,, pasta,, cookies,, pizza base, potatoes, fries, cola drinks and yes, sugar but I worry that most people don't correlate carbs with sugar. The other similar point is you mention people should eat whole foods. I know what you mean here but I worry people translate that to include whole grains and many carbs advertise as whole grain to make it appear healthy. Here is would advise people to eat leafy veggies but I would not use the terms sugar or whole foods as people will misinterpret your points.

[@meersohnmanuel]

Excellent explanation, the best so far, thanks. In fighting to reverse my adaptation I found an anomaly that I will like to understand. I’m now medicine free both for diabetes and blood pressure. My diet (keto) is zero Carbs (of course a few grams per day, less than 5). Instead of having breakfast I have a 10 km long walk in the morning and then the paradox when I get home and measure my glycemic numbers still on fast 14 hours after my last meal I find between 130 and 170. After eating my numbers go down and settle between 100 and 110. Why my body produces so much glucose after dawn and exercise? Is it too much? Should I worry? Is it a matter of re adaptation? Look forward to your answer. Thanks.

I am on the Keto-16 with Intermittent Fasting, and there is a concern that I am not getting enough potassium in my diet. Sometimes I get leg cramps and I will take some additional potassium supplements. I have concerned about taking too much or not enough to properly supply my body. Regular potassium supplements are capped at 99mgs per tablet. There are other variations, such as potassium gluconate, which are packaged in high amounts. Could you advise as to why straight potassium capped in such low doses, and what are the differences between straight potassium and other forms sold in higher quantities?

Love your videos, they have helped so much. I had a question that you or maybe someone here can answer. My husband is diabetic and so I took a class national diabetes prevention program from someone stationed at UCLA. She said diabetics have 50% or less of a their pancreas functioning, the rest are dead beta cells that can not regenerate/revive/will ever function/dead (not sure how to word it). She said once you are a diabetic there is no going back because of that % of dead beta cells. She also said that's like an estimate but not something they can quantify or measure for sure. I understand that insulin resistance can be reversed and obviously the problem would return if we go back to eating the way we did before becoming diabetic. My question would be is that true in regards to the pancreas and the beta cells or once you reverse insulin resistance, your pancreas is working normally?

[@drekberg]

Thank you Ofelia Cuevas. In my experience most T2D have normal insulin production. It is possible to have a combination of Type 1 and 2 (1.5) where an autoimmune attack starts after years of abuse, but it is more rare. I also believe that not only can you reverse insulin resistance, but you can help the pancreas regenerate. The body is very capable of regeneration, but it can't happen with drugs because drugs interfere with the body. You have to help the body remove the interference, sugar, food intolerance, metals, toxins, and then provide real nutrition.While there are many general things that a person can do to improve their health, such as reducing sugar, grain and processed foods. Some conditions are a little more complicated and require very specific analysis of the body. In my office we use Nutrition Response Testing to find and handle the root cause of the problem.

I agree, but for the other who read my comment... kein Essen nach 21:00 Uhr ! :-) Coffee and Tea are great, the beer... well... tempting, but maybe less of that. I wish you and the others here a great life, and thanks again for the very optimistic message, which doctors somehow fail to deliver... all is going to be fine ! Don't pig out, and the body heals. That's it. Cheers :-)

Thank you ericus666 for sharing your story. That is great. Most people are not so fortunate. They have to make much more drastic changes, but I am happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up!

[@peperodriguez9961]

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Fantastic video, Dr. Ekberg! Your deep insights into diabetes and the body's natural adaptations are eye-opening. It's empowering to learn how lifestyle changes can make such a profound impact. Your explanations are clear, engaging, and very informative. Keep up the great work!

[@collinriley4976]

Clarity at last. Thank you!

[@drekberg]

Thank you Collin Riley. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.

[@arnoldbongcayao6061]

Thank you Doctor for enlightening us.

[@nainafit8011]

Hi Sten, thanks for the videos. I am 47 and diabetic for about 7 yrs now. I am on medication and have started practicing IF 16/8 recently;since the 1st of December. I only weigh 52kgs and fear further weight loss. How can you help? Thanks.

[@chad7789]

He can't, none of these internet dr.s offer any advice if your thin. Low carb it and excercise. Riding my bike brings down my glucose alot at any given ride.

[@MaSa-bp5qe]

Go keto/carnivore. Eat enough and cut off carbs.

[@vivianbell5263]

Thank you for sharing real knowledge. 76yo F. Type2 started Keto March 4th '19. With your help, keto and IF down 29 lbs A1C 5.4 off Onglyza 7wks BUT EARLY A.M. fasting b/s still high at times. dawn effect yes. Can this be improved?

[@Savioami]

Respected doctor. Sten , i tested and my blood sugar is 6.4 some people's talk threatened me , but after watching ,Understanding your lecture , i ve understood sugzr problem is reverseable "physiological adaptation". Thank you doctor .

[@robles100]

You sir are simply the best of the best. So glad I found you. I keep watching all of your videos and of course I'm sharing them with friends and family. Just as a side note, I wanted to let you know that I'm a big fan of Dr. Jason Fung and wanted to ask you if you don't mind. What do you think about him? I'd really really appreciate your response. Thank you Dr. Ekberg !!!

[@esperantapolynice4814]

Dear doctor Ekberg,l should say dear SAVING MANY PEOPLE LIVES, by watching , following your videos ,I let go all my favorite food :Jasmin white rice, haagen - dazs ice cream french fries ,l let all my favorite garbage go for good doctor ,no more feet and toes pain but I use to take 2 metformin now I m taking one still working on it thank you so much.😅

[@celh2656]

When i started listening to Dr Ekberg, and did chenges to my diet and doing intermittent fasting i lost 30 pounds in a year, thanks!

[@aumnamashivaya4]

Wow!!! Truly enlightening! I wonder why so many RENOWNED EXPERTS accuse insulin resistance to fatty acids and other things which may not make sense except for ketons create the overload and would appreciate your views on it❤

[@Zed_lb]

That's the first time I've heard diabetes properly explained...thank you.

[@queensgirl58]

Great video.. you explain things so well. My question us, how does the body adapt when you have 1/3 of your pancreas missing? My tail was surgically removed. I cant get my a1c lower than 5.8. It has been 4 1/2 years. Thanks, Gina

[@drekberg]

The body has great regenerative capacity, but it might need a little help. we use Nutrition Response Testing to find root causes and help the body restore.

[@queensgirl58]

@@drekberg OK.. but will my lack of beta cells get better in time? will my body adapt because I make less insulin as long as I eat a low carb diet? please do a dawn phenomenon video. I struggle with that. thanks, Gina

[@drekberg]

I'm not convinced that you have a lack. Most organs have a 70-80% reserve capacity, plus a capacity for regeneration. If you really want to know, do a fasting insulin test to assess IR, then do a second insulin test 30-60 minutes couple of after eating a low fat starchy meal. That way you know what you lowest and highest levels are.

[@queensgirl58]

@@drekberg thank you for the reply. I had asked my endocrinologist a few months ago to make an order for a fasting insulin test and her reply was that wont tell us anything plus that my insurance co probably wouldn't cover it. your thoughts?

[@drekberg]

Thank you queensgirl58. Here is a list of videos on that and related topics. kzbin.infosearch?query=HOMA-IR. Feel free to send your endocrinologist a link😉

[@arcelesp7878]

I was cooking and listening to you! The best ever.

[@kabirajsanatani3186]

Thanks Dr. Sten Ekberg sir. Your speech is so easy clear and soft that who knows a little English language can understand it clearly. We love you very much for helping millions of people without mentioning about harmful medicine which causes serious effect.❤️❤️❤️❤️. There is pill for every ill. But now we learm from you that every pill makes ill.

[@satya8716]

on 1 april 2019 my hba1c was 9.7 and fasting sugar 235. insulin 10 units. two tablets twice a day. do the doctors sentenced me to 16 units insulin. i went through a couple of youtube videos of yours, dr fung etc. i measured my sugars and tried these diets. on June 15th 2019 two months down the lane my hba1c 7.1 Fasting bs 104. so if this not towards a cure, what else is? thanks for your videos. p.s. unless Allopathic doctors don't update their approach, they would be outdated in ten years ir so.

[@flaviadsouza3857]

Pls let me know the foods u include n portion size. Since 20years I was unaware n just popping pills. Now I want to set it right.

[@IceSk8Princessa12]

Flavia Dsouza Watch Dr Jason Fung, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Eric Berg, and of course, the awesome Dr on this channel, Dr Ekberg!

[@patriciasmythe7797]

Check ur fasting insulin levels as well most important

[@geoffreyhay9613]

I'm a University Prof that is new to your channel. I wanted to thank you for your excellent, thorough and well-explained holistic approach to understanding health challenges. I'm dealing with LADA - Type 1 diabetes after a TwinRx Hep A/B VaKs 15 years ago - and am currently working with Rife Frequencies to try and restore homeostasis along with exercise, meditation, stress reduction, diet, and fasting. While definitely controversial, a video on cleaning out adjuvants would be very beneficial. I'm already using coffee enemas, bentonite clays, spring water, MMS, using a Bemer and other great tools, but it's taking a very long time with little results. I've just started using Methylene Blue and this looks promising.

[@tim88114]

Thank you so much for all your videos. I have learned so much from all your information. Please keep it up! Thank you once again.

[@alfullard8887]

Incredible information to help me understand my T2D. I am already seeing great results from following your video's. Thanks.

[@Celticcross688]

I am interested to understand why the skin on a human body produces small sores, small minute vessel bleeds on the surface of the skin when Blood sugars are elevated.. as regards to T2Diabetes..any thoughts?

[@drekberg]

Thank you Lady Penelope. High blood sugar causes blood vessels to swell through osmotic pull. This results in micro vessel disease which can happen anywhere, but primarily affects retina, kidney and peripheral nerves.😄

[@evarodriguez4503]

Excellent teaching! Thank you! We should send MD's back to school... it seems all they learned is to be pill pushers ... There are some good ones but are hard to come by. Thanks again for taking time to educate us so clearly!

[@mogbadunolababatunde2985]

The one and the most responsible Dr that I got today. Kindly tell me what I can be eating to bring back my Blood Sugar to normal Levels ! It's Aways Fluctuating like ( 10.0mm to 7, or 6.5mm) Please Help Me .

[@hamdaanibagwan1093]

Dr.SE thank you so much for your good heart may Almighty God bless you and grant you more knowledge ... you’re awesome

[@josecontreras6604]

Thanks for the information. How long does it take to reverse the adaptation? I have been insulin resistant for about 10 years

[@drekberg]

I have a video on How Long Does It To Reverse Insulin Resistance kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioC3i3egdt6UqJI and one on How Long To Lower A1c kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHKymHeqh6xlftE See if those answer your question. It is much better than type, so you get the full picture.

[@albertvanderwalt7013]
