You Have DIABETES and Don’t Even Know It!! (Here's how to Know)

Is it possible you have Diabetes/Pre-Diabetes and don't even know it? Yes, it is! Many millions of people have undiagnosed Diabetes either because they haven't had their blood drawn, or because their doctor just didn't order the proper testing. Here's how to know if you are in this number.
You can have minimal symptoms while having dangerous diabetes. Only the proper labwork will discover your diabetes. If your doctor refuses to order the proper tests, you can order them yourself with the links below.
Are you one of the MILLIONS with Undiagnosed Diabetes?? Please get your labs checked. The damage is being done by Diabetes, whether you know or not!

I wasn't diagnosed with T2D, but I believe I was. WAS. I don't think I am anymore. I have my blood test results since 2018. in 2018 my fasting glucose was 80. In 2019 it was 95. When I started keto and got my own blood glucose meter it ranged from 105-110. So not astronomically high, but higher than it should be. And a definite trend upwards. Now after being on keto for several months it tends to be 90-95. I don't think my doc ran enough tests. And my father and grandfather had T1D.

There are home A1c tests available. They at about 15-20$ each.

[@angelluisf7730]

To be honest, I don't see the point of paying for these test in your case. The reason for testing is identifying the problem, which you already did based on the information you found here. And, you are already making changes in the right direction, whose results are already showing up. The only way these test could be helpful is if they give reason to your doctor to prescribe you some useful medicine (like metformin), which would make things a little easier and faster for you, but without an insurance this will be costly for you, and the main changes you needed to do, you are already doing them. So IMHO you'd better save that money, or spend it in key quality food like pasture raised eggs, grass fed butter, or salmon, which will make a bigger difference in your health. Apart from keto, I'd suggest you to try intermittent fasting too (plenty of videos about it in YT, search for Jason Fung presentations, and Sten Ekberg videos). IF and keto work great together, I lost 77 lb in 7 months with those (and walking, and making sure I properly sleep, and taking metformin).

My husband's past doctor told him for years that he was borderline. In fact he was way closer than borderline. He was on Metformin and because he was under 7 for his A1C, he was told he was good. He was admitted to the hospital for pulmonary edema and was found to have an A1C over 10 ( I think it was 13 but I cannot remember for sure). He was started on insulin and given a 'nutritionist counseling" which told him it was fine for him to have pasta and bread because he could take his insulin and keep his blood sugar down. I was livid because I knew this was not what he needed and definitely not what he needed to hear. He trusted that person. We went to his primary care and he recommended KETO. As I researched I realized that he probably had pulmonary edema due to so much insulin and sugar floating around in his blood that was holding onto fluid. He was taking 80mg of lasix daily to keep the fluid down. Since going on KETO he has come off of insulin and only takes Victoza. He takes a lasix for CHF about 2 times per week. Before this started he was on oxygen full time and he no longer is on it. He needs to work harder, he "cheats" whenever he can...lol but he is making the connection between what he eats and how he feels and is working daily on making better choices for himself.

Just you forcing them to document it may turn the tide. If all that fails you need a new doc anyway. Can the bugger and good riddance!

I had a low blood sugar episode a couple of times. My last one was while camping by myself the other day. I've been on the carnivore diet for the past 2 1/2 months now. No carbs at all. It scared me. I almost past out. I went down to the ground and had to talk myself into getting up and eat something. I was disorientated and had force myself to consume something. I had a large bowel movement prier to this episode. I've had episodes before where my blood sugar dropped. I haven't got a bad blood test before. Diabetes runs in my family.

[@dirtsmiles8098]

Wife and I have this conversation constantly. If we go and do the tests what will we do then? Eat proper. So what we ultimately settled on is to just eat proper. Lol. Is there still a reason to get tests?

[@Hoybabe1]

I have a friend that will not listen or even go to a doctor. I took her blood sugar and my meter only goes to 500, well hers was over that cause the meter flashed HI and ketones. Her hair is falling out, her weight is dropping , her eyes are getting so bad she needs a flashlight in her house to read labels on cans and things like that, her feet and legs hurt all the time, constant headache, vomitting more than ocassionally (sorry for the spelling) diaherra too often. I don't see how she is still alive. She drinks coke, eats sweets, bread potatos etc, UGH. I don't know what to do about her. I am the one who will find her if she collapses because I am the only one who she talks to every single day . Very nerve wracking and scary. UGH!!

Mary Tyler Moore was a diabetic and she was never overweight! We must get away from the notion that fast, processed, easy meals are a viable replacement for home cooked meals! Even if you are not eating healthy home cooked is still better because you know what is going in your food! Going out to eat used to be considered a treat, something the family did maybe once a week or even once a month or like in my case once a year when we went on vacation because there was no fast food joint within 50 miles from where I grew up! We need to take an active role in preserving our health, I am so grateful we have Dr. Berry to help!

That's a very healthy result

[@titania145]

I treat myself as a prediabetic only because I am older and obese from a few years of prescribed macrobiotic vegetarian diet that doubled my weight. My blood tests are normal, including the cpeptide. But...I feel it is not. On Keto for 11 months and lately my fasting glucose was elevated to over 6.0 but lowers with my omad to a nice 5.4 or so. Did several long fastings of 3 and 5 days and it begun to lower again, meaning my damaged and fatty liver and pancreas have cleanse themselves enough to improve their efficiency. Not there yet, but will continue to fast at least a 5 day per month until I can do a 21 to 30 days.... still waiting for any weight loss though...💔😰🤬

There’s a video by Ivor Cummins posted recently expanding on coronavirus opportunistic behaviors like other viruses when living environments become less humid due to heating. Internet suggests 40 - 45% humidity level is ideal. Mucus membranes are the body’s first defense as mucus traps viruses. If your membranes dry it affords opportunity to imbed into your nasal/oral/ throat and eyes. Wish there were videos explaining how important it is to have ideal humidity in the home.

[@sherylchristianson]

That would be great if Quest Labs had a site anywhere in my state that would do more than collect urine samples for drug testing. The Quest Lab prices are affordable. The out of pocket prices at my clinic are not and insurance doesn’t cover these labs. They will cover a FBS but not a HgBA1C because my FBS is normal. They don’t cover a C-Peptide at all. I requested these labs after watching a previous video about this - they did the FBS then refused to cover an A1C because the FBS was normal. So if your insurance won’t cover them and you can’t afford hundreds of dollars out of pocket and don’t have a Quest Lab near you or in your state that does more than drug testing then you can’t get these tests.

Dr. Berry, if you have lived 20 to 30 years with "undiagnosed pre-diabetes or diabetes" and thereby permanently damaged your arteries (as you stated in the video), is there any way you know of to repair those damaged arteries or are you stuck with them for the rest of your life? Not looking for a long answer, just a little hope.

[@angelluisf7730]

Some of the damage can be reversed, some not. As per recent experience plaque is known to be reversed by going keto and taking vitamin k2 mk7. No specific studies about it yet, but plenty of "anecdotal" experience.

Fix your liver and it will fix your body; it's the only path that has a chance of repairing damage. Lots of supplements can help with liver, just do the research. The grassfed freeze dried heart and liver on the shelf behind Doc is a great start; no possibility of overdose on those!

Very informative. I'm 57 and was pre-diabetic for a year or more maybe even full diabetic. My A1C was 5.8. Last time 5.1. The difference? It wasn't diet in my case I was on a sorty of Keto/Western diet the whole time. I have sleep-apnea and don't like my machine so I had my nose fixed. When I did that my A1C dropped. If I dropped about 70 pounds and / or got a sleep-apnea appliance it would drop more. Oxygen it appears to me has a lot to do with this. My organs were starving for it.....
