And why was your brother hospitalized for several days? 8.5-9.5 mmol/l equals 150-170 mg/dL, it is definitely pre-diabetic for after-meal, but a lot of people are still going around with 200-300 mg/dL (11-16 mmol/l) without realizing they are diabetics

[@inessentialmix]

Thank you so much for what you do, Dr. Ekberg. IR was destroying my life, and with keto and IF I've dropped 200 pounds. My fasting glucose is now in the 70s, and I'm on hour 92 of a 120 hour fast for autophagy - 1.1 GKI at this morning's blood tests. Took a while to get to where I am now, but it's been worth it!

[@daydreameravani]

How long does it take for you to get to this point?

[@inessentialmix]

@@daydreameravaniMy peak weight was about four years ago, and I began a stringent adherence to keto and cleaner eating in spring of 2020 because of the hysteria of the time. I have been stable at about 140 +/- 8-10 pounds since early 2022. This is not easy. Starting fasting was brutal, getting used to OMAD was slow and I constantly self-sabotaged it. I also "knew" I was in ketosis with certain levels of total and net carbs, "knew" certain foods weren't triggers, and "knew" I could reset from a holiday/stress processed food slip in under 24 hours - and all of this was false. I needed to begin weighing food, counting absolutely everything, and measuring my blood to know what was actually up with my metabolic processes. And it has to be clean - real, whole food. Commercial "keto" products are almost universally trash, about the most processed thing I eat today is the Egglife wraps. You MUST totally eliminate seed oils and track your omega-6 and omega-3 intake. On days I eat, my OMAD regimen generally includes 1-2 cans of mackerel or sardines, 3-4 high quality pasture eggs, and raw cheese made with grass-fed/grass-finished cow's milk. My omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is almost always under 1, but crucially my overall intake of omega-6 is 5% or less of my energy intake.

[@jswalk4]

Super inspirational!! I’ve lost 50lbs in 4 months and my fasting glucose is in the low 80s with a GKI of 1.5. Currently 19hrs in on a 24hr fast. This information is life changing.

[@jswalk4]

How do you test you omega 6 and 3 ratios? Do you get your omega 6 and 3 through diet or supplements? Thank you for sharing your story.

[@inessentialmix]

@@jswalk4 I'm in the US, and no one in my medical care pipeline will pay for a fatty acids test, and I'm not sure my primary care physician can even order one if I asked to pay for it out of pocket. I am going to advocate for an advanced lipids test, but I doubt they will even want to test my HbA1c because I'm a 145 pound 6'4 man under 40. So I am instead relying on nutritional information from food, which is not 100% accurate but it's the best I can do. I get all my omega-3 from fish, eggs, and grass-fed dairy products. Even assuming a 15% minus variation in the omega-3 content of Atlantic mackerel, pasture eggs, and grass-fed raw aged cheese, based on my dietary logging I should have a ratio under 1. That is, more omega-3 than omega-6.

[@hayfork100]

When I watch your recent videos like this one which goes deeper into "how" the body works to handle the various foods we eat, and the problems caused by eating too much of some things, I am saddened that no one emphasized this when I was younger. I am now 79 years old and my bad eating habits all through my life have already done a lot of damage. Every young person should be taught these things so they can remain healthy throughout their life. How can I help you spread this essential knowledge to the younger generation?

​@@Sufficient4UsIsAllahKnowledge is power. Absolutely right about that. In every aspect of life. I'm 41 now, but when I was young, I had no real knowledge of anything. No one taught me how to live.

I just went for my first annual physical after starting keto two months ago, last week. My doc was very pleased with my progress and he was completely sold on the keto lifestyle. We were completing each others’ sentences! This is the same doc who just told me to exercise more when I asked him for a diet plan a couple years ago…. His response was that if he told people to get into keto, they would just eat high fat things along with lots of carbs. Then he’d get blamed, basically. What a shame because people are suffering and dying needlessly!!

Raw eggs, raw meat, cooked high fat bone/meat broth, lots of butter. 200grams of saturated fat per day minimum. I am 155lbs. I get some glucose from dairy. It is a life style that I love.

For thousands of years people have eaten grains. However, they worked hard to plant them and harvest them and grind them and knead them to make bread which was always whole grain, never anything artificial. GMO’s and pesticides were non existent. Even back in the 50’s and 60’s people were eating carbs and were normal weight but now everything is processed. I ate potatoes at dinner most nights but portion size was small. We had a protein, a starch, and a non starchy vegetable. We were thin. No snacking. An apple for a snack maybe.

[@drekberg]

Congratulations @krakraichbinda. I wouldn't call it remission though. That word implies that there is something random about it. Your body adapted to an unnatural lifestyle and then it adapted to a natural lifestyle. 😄

[@vitalishus]

@@krakraichbindamy Mother has been Type 1 Diabetic all my life (64 years) and our family has always recognised both Type 1 & Type 2 not as a “disease” per se (although it is a dis-ease) but rather simply a “condition” that the body has adapted to. Remission implies it will most likely return and not improve.

[@krakraichbinda]

@@vitalishus Well, T1D is an another story to T2D. If you've had T2D it still may return. Even you never had it, you still may get if your life style allows it - see children/teens with T2D. There is no improvement in any case. Another question: is our standard western life style appropriate for digestive system? If not, the illness is only matter of time.

[@vitalishus]

@@krakraichbinda of course they are different. That was not my point. Myself personally, I will never get Type 1 or Type 2. I have made sure of that. Keto lifestyle for 10 years and now am carnivore. All bloods are perfect. True that as long as a certain lifestyle (SAD) is adhered to Type 2 is potentially inevitable (not always though) as is Type 1 if there is a genetic component present. Otherwise you can definitely prevent either happening to you without a doubt. The same goes for ANY disease or condition. The trick is finding what really works for the individual.

I continue to be shocked that my clinical colleagues don’t measure fasting insulin levels. It’s not only the best predictor of future diabetes but 6.7x greater at predicting heart disease compared to cholesterol & LDL.

[@allhimwithme5115]

I continue to be shocked that I'd rather go to KZbin than someone in the traditional medical system. I developed a severe asthmatic response to histamine having to choose between eating (anything at all) and breathing. I discovered my problem when I started fasting to fix my immune system and put together that I only had symptoms after I ate anything. Great. Now what, I thought. There was a day I'd have run to the doctor immediately. Instead I came here to Dr. Ekberg (along with Drs. DiNezza, Rajsree, Hyman, and Pelz) and learned how to heal my immune system by fasting and with my food choices. I avoided high histamine food and followed an "extreme" fasting regimen (80% OMAD, 20% 2MAD, one 3-day fast per month) for 5 months. And I'm healed, now, 6 months after self-diagnosing and fixing my problem. I still live a fasting lifestyle and eat an ominvorous, clean diet and I intend to do so for the rest of my life. I'm filled with shalom and my body and mind are in tip-top shape. I'm 51, 5'2" female, and not only healed a severe histamine problem but lost 26 lbs to be settled in at about 103 lbs. What do you think my outcome would have been had I run to a doctor? Steroids? Albuterol? A pat on the head being told I'm imagining things? I didn't want to find out. Now, _that_ is shocking.

When I talk to my family about clean eating, less carbs and good fats they become so protective of their diet and lifestyle, not willing to change anything about it…. So sad. Anyways, love your videos, excellent info as always 😊 you are an angel

Even if we get to do blood work no doctor tells you what it means .oh your blood sugar is 6.0 Your cholesterol is high then you go home with statin.horrible.

[@OnlyHuman2.0]

Yeah. I have a mom and brother who are in bad shape and on all kinds of medications. I tried telling them years ago about their diet and exercise, but to no avail. It is sad. If only they wouldn't be so stubborn, they wouldn't suffer as they are now. Then again, most people's will power is set 0 and the excuses come in like stink bugs before winter....

[@katarinas6012]

IR is a lot more prevalent than people think. We had blood tests at our work place (obligatory by law) and nearly all people had high blood sugar levels despite fasting 15 hours before the test. It's truly horrible

[@Oldbroad1]

You must work for the Nazi’s? obligatory blood test to check IR? That’s crazy, eh?

I was a sugar addict for many years and quite surprised I didn't get diabetes. I have been off sugar for more than a decade now.

[@01sevensix]

How extreme was the addiction? What did an average day look like sugar wise?

[@AmandaViolinGirl]

@@01sevensix not every day was the same. It could have been approx a kg of milk chocolate in one afternoon. Another day could have been a big bag of fried chips, fried in canola oil, I would lie to whoever about my addiction. I now tell people to be able to overcome your addiction you first have to be able to admit your addiction.

[@timothyrowland2050]

Around 18 years ago, when I lived in the USA, I was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic. This was following massive blood sugar drops and what I initially thought were minor seizures. The doctor told me that it was just a matter of time before becoming diabetic. Jump ahead, 4-5 years from that point into the future, and I'm living in South Korea. I was still experiencing some blood sugar problems, so I went to a local doctor. After running some tests, I was informed that enzymes were leaking from my liver. I was prescribed some medication. I took it, and 3-4 days later, I felt fine (although I took the medicine for a couple of weeks). I haven't had blood sugar drops (or what felt like blood sugar drops) ever since that time. I'm not a doctor, but based on my experience, I think diabetes, for some, can be badly misdiagnosed. It was for me.

[@giorx5]

Great video! Thanks a lot Dr! Analogies is the key for the health. As for diabetes the same is ofr cholesterol. Instead of adding the bad and good of it, they should have a ratio between those two kinds of cholesterol and thus the ratio would define who needs cure or not.

[@alisonmerrell7738]

There is a ratio of it

[@deb1120]

Thank you, Sir!

[@gerard6629]

Love your videos and explanations provided in them. I have heard you explain it further before, just not this one. The cells are resisting the affect of insulin because they replete with energy and will not let anymore in until what’s inside is metabolized to make room for additional energy. I believe many people just don’t understand they are over supplying energy and usually not providing enough micronutrients.

[@kinkle_Z]

20:17 - Dr. Ekberg finally begins to answer the question at this point and it's what I expected the answer to be: Insulin. (which is a sendout lab).

[@RochelleLawrence]

@drekberg Thank you for your amazing videos. I recently started watching your videos, due to being diagnosed with T2D. With HbA1c of 12.9%. My dr put me on 1000mg Glucophage XR for starters (2 weeks) and will probably increase it next Wednesday when I go for my follow up. I hate tablets, never been on meds ever. I also do 16 - 24 hours fasting every 2nd day. Am I on the right track. Thank you once again for helping many people change their lives to live healthy lifestyles. May our Almighty Father bless you exceedingly abundantly.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@franny5295]

You need to cut all carbs not coming from green leafy vegetables period and you need to fast for as long as it takes for your blood sugar to go down. You will have to last long enough to dump the glycogen stored in your muscles and glucogen for your sugar levels to go down. And even then, you need to be very, very careful with protein. Eat only enough for your lean mass. Like, 0.8g/lb of lean muscle mass and if you notice it causing your sugar to creep, cut back and add fats. You may need a genuine ketogenic diet based upon macros to get control of this.

[@haninnamir6116]

Good luck. Fasting will help, but try to also cut down on carbs for maximum benefits

Around 14:30 As I get older, and continue to learn, it's so clear why our ancestors had certain habits. For example, going for a walk after dinner. That used to be a thing. Eat a big, full, satisfying meal to end your day, then engage in some light exercise to reduce blood sugar spiking. They knew what they were doing. Too bad wisdom isn't passed down through generations anymore. We're having to re-learn all this stuff.
