Many thanks, been searching for "can apple cider vinegar raise your blood sugar?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Panadison Substratal Preponderance - (search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to reversing insulin resistance and diabetes without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.

@@karenorr3050try asking for HomA IR. That’s the correct name. If they don’t have it then google independent blood testing labs near me. That will lead you to online companies that will set everything up for you for a fee and tell you where, locally, you ca have blood drawn. The online company will send you a form to give the lab when it’s drawn and they will bill the online company who will then send you the results with an explanation of the results.

I watch all your video as well as Dr Ken Berry’s videos. I have learned more from both of you than in just a few weeks I learned from my doctor for the past 11years!

Thank you Dr. Berg. Mine spiked for 4-1/2 months and it’s finally coming down a bit. I’ve asked this question everywhere. Finally an answer!!!

Dr.Berg. you have changed my life forever. I have been to numerous specialists and wasted thousands of dollars. And no one has ever been able to fix my insulin resistance, pcos, and hypothyroidism. Since you have created these educational videos and gave me the tools I needed. I have completely taken control of my health. I have lost 70 Lbs, with your intermittent fasting, healthy Keto, and supplement recommendations. My labs are perfect for the first time in 18 years. No more insulin resistance, or cholesterol issues. I wish I could thank you in person. Forever grateful to you.

Dr. Berg, I wish you wouldve explained that you can only get the insulin test done at the doctors office or even the HOMA-IR calculation and results once calculated. I was looking for a HOMA IR testing kit for home, not realizing I had to get it from the doctor. Explanation is great; just need to elaborate on when you say " just do this test..", it is at the doctors office. Thanks for all you do!

Dr. Berg you work so hard to give us correct information the least I can do is watch your videos to the end. Thank you for caring about people you don't even know. 😊

We are all indebted to you Dr. Eric. Your dedication and generosity honour you greatly. Thank YOU!

Nice to hear about Dr B. IT happened to us too, maybe a month, then the glucose started going down on it's own. We see FBS's at about 90 and during the day after meals(keto) it has a random of 80-95. All good too! Took awhile like you said and not knowing about this fact we were taking 1/2 metformin daily to get the levels down. Funny, didn't work! So now it's settled off and we're happier. Good info you give us. I listen daily! Glad we found you! ♥

You're Welcome, Thank you for being honest. You have helped me very much. Some of my previous doctors don't agree with you, thats why they are all PREVIOUS doctors.

Oh my god. I’m doing keto now 3 month and I’m not taking medication. My blood sugar is 100-115. And I was so depressed and disappointed. I was saying keto is not working for me. Thanks for this video, will keep on this diet hopefully will have good numbers in the future.

Its really simple and u dont have to be intimidated. I'd recommend doing 16:8(u eat 2 or 3 meals in 8 hours and then fast for 16). Eat enough fat and u wont be hungry. Remember it takes time to heal insulin resistance. Its fat in ur cells that ur body wont allow itself to release if ur insulin levels keep being high. So when you have periods of not eating ur insulin lowers itself and ur body starts functioning properly. Dr Berg has videos on intermittent fasting. U can try 20:4 if u have a bad case of insulin resistance

One thing that was slowing my weight loss was to much protein. More than 5-8 oz. of protein will spike insulin. It helps to eat your protein with fat. Hope this helps and keep watching Dr Bergs videos and you will gain understanding over time.

Excellent information - - this is much needed support! Many people who have not kown how to take care of their health because of being raised in North America and elsewhere where corporate food and pharma advertising has led what is "healthy" and what is not - and then being told by many doctors in the medical profession that they have various conditions that can only be controlled by drugs and often a diet that then makes the person sicker - NEED to know that healing is a process --when the body which is miraculous -starts to heal because it is given the optimum conditions for health - it often fixes one thing at a time Many don't understand so they get very discouraged - I have often seen over the decades people stop doing what will ultimately help them to health So THANK YOU!!! Dr. Berg for sharing very important information so that people have the support they need to understand the healing process going on in their bodies - -

How do I get my dr to order this test? I asked him if there was a test for insulin resistance and he said no just blood sugar. I’m not diabetic and since doing keto my fasting blood sugar went from 106 to 88. Love your videos, dr Berg!

My glucose was at 125 last check...so I feel better seeing this video.

Thank you bf., I watched your video I called my doctor to include Home IR in the blood test I am going to take and he didn't know what it was. I came across your video because, I need to understand why when I am fasting and doing the carnivore diet for four months now my glucose reading at 4 pm was 109 and I've only had coffee, a tea and some water. You hit every question I had and made me feel I'm on the right tract!!! Thank you so much!!!

I really enjoy your videos Dr. Berg but you tend to just graze the actual information mentioned in your titles.

Thanks Doc. Is there a meter we can check our own insulin levels?

Thank you, Dr. Berg. Homa IR is just the test I've been looking for. I've discussed measuring insulin resistance with my doctor at Kaiser, but he told me there wasn't any way to see how that's what's going on. Unbelievable.

1:43 how long it will take to correct IR, 2:27 2 months on a keto diet

I tried keto diet seriously and only learned it's absolutely not for diabetes as it raised not only ketones but also my blood glucose. So, please make note of it when you make video to protect diabetes.

Thank You Dr. Berg for answering my question without me having to ask lol. I've been doing Keto + IF for just under a year, and had lost 70 lbs up until May 1st. I have Type 2 Diabetes So after learning from you, & Dr. Jason Fung how insulin prevents fat burning I quit taking my insulin. Also began incorporating OMAD 3 - 4 days per week. Have never felt better. More energy, better sleep, etc. Since doing so I have lost 15 lbs & 2" off my waist. But I noticed my blood sugar levels had gone from avg. 4.2 - 5.2 mmol/L while I was on insulin To avg. 5.7 - 6.4 mmol/L since I've been off. So I was wondering why, and how long it would last. But you just explained why. - Because my body is repairing my Insulin Resistance and so there is more glucose in my blood since there is less insulin to lower the level. Hopefully it won't take much longer cuz I want to see that 4.2 - 5.2 mmol/L range on a steady basis.

Dr. said that there was noting to be gained( not in so many words) to doing a fasting insulin test! He said that checking glucose level accomplished the same thing.

You're welcome. I'm diabetic (type 2) and always interested in what you say about the subject. I can't afford you, I only wish you could take over my care. I feel that I would lose the weight and maybe ween off of my diabetic medications.

what are the recommended ranges of insulin level to keep healthy ?

My doctor did an insulin level on me and it was high. She told me that I had insulin resistance. My HgA1c and glucose was normal. She started me on metformin.

Thank you so much 🌹

Omiostatic would be more correct than homiostatic. Strange why some words got translated like that. Excellent video Dr!

My teacher 👨‍🏫 yes you Dr. Berg 💕 thanks for the brain food !

we appreciate you too!

Maybe I missed it in the video, but what should the normal range be for HOMA-IR?

Dr. Berg how do you think about zero carb/carnivore diet?

Hello dr can you please tell us the normal insulin level range after one hour from glucose injection ? Thank you

Thank you.

I just came from my doctor's appointment . I asked for HOMA IR HE WOULD NOT REFER ME TO HAVE THE TEST. I showed him this video, he got upset . At first he said he doesn't know a test like this . I also asked for coronary w calcium score , he refused it ! Doctors work for the system not for patients. He was referring me for a mammogram which I refused .
