What did you eat and how often did you eat. I am helping my wife change her diet and promised to help her from 11.1 A1c to 5.6 in three months. She went from 362 fasting glucose to 141 in two weeks, but it jumped back to 171 today. We kept the same low carbs and work out, but don't know why it jumped up today. Did you experience lows and highs in your glucose on your way to 4.7? Really hope you respond and congratulations. That must have been awesome to see!

My A1-C was at 7.5 on Feb.15, 2022 and on Jun 1st it was 4.9. I followed all your advice and lost 20 lbs. Cut out all sugar and bread and most anything that had carbs. I'm back to normal A1-C but I'm still going to stick with the new diet based on the Keto plan. My doctor was very impressed and wanted to know how I did it. Thank you !!

My husband just lowered his A1C from 7.4 to 5.6 in less than 3 months. He ate a low carb diet (no sugar, very little carbs, no artificial sweeteners) and took 2500 mg of cinnamon (with chromium & biotin) and Berberine. He also dropped 20 pounds. He is very thankful for this informative video!!

In Nov 2018, my A1C was measured as 14. I was put on insulin shots and medication. After this, I made huge changes to my diet, reducing my intake of high net carbohydrate foods dramatically. Two and a half months later A1C went down to 5.4. I was so surprised. Off the insulin shots and down 60 pounds after 4.5 months.

@@drekberg is this real? From your wonderfully explanation I though that this, simple is not possible.

100 days ago I went to my Primary Care group with a BG of 452 and an A1C of 14. At the time I did not know what was wrong with me. I knew that I had a family tendency to become diabetic. My two siblings both have diabetes. I was urinating hourly around the clock. I was unable to ride my bicycle very far without leg and other body cramps. In two months I had lost 14 lbs without trying to lose weight. My PA immediately put me on Metformin and daily insulin injections. I cut all added sugars in my food completely and ate only white toast as my only white carb. After a few weeks I cut out the white bread completely. My diet includes eggs, beans, greens, avocados, some healthy meat, butter, cheese, an occasional sweet potato, and lots of nuts, . My only fruits were berries, such as blueberries. Two weeks ago I stopped taking insulin completely. My A1C test a few days ago was 6.8. As described in the video I expect it to drop considerably by the time of my next appointment with my PA in two months. Along with the vastly improved A1C I realized other health benefits. My vision had been deteriorating a lot over the past two years. It was a huge thing to have my clear vision return completely within a few weeks of going on this eating regimen along with exercise. I am back to cycling over 100 miles each week with no muscle cramping and I have plenty of energy without taking supplements such as gels during a bike ride. This approach to eating works!

I had an A1C of 15.7 and a glucose count of 467. This was on 15 May 2019. I went keto omad and after a week my glucose was at 123. In 3 more days I was at 100. I then went carnivore and my glucose has been running between 75 and 95. I have started longer fasts and just finished a 3 day fast. I refused metformin and insulin. I also started walking and I train with kettlebells and body weight movements. I'm 62. My glucose seems to have leveled out now during a fast which tells me my body has reset and my liver is producing glucose more like it should. During an earlier 2 day fast it got down to 67 although I felt absolutely fine and had a killer kettlebell workout that day. I only check glucose twice a week now. My next A1C check is on 12 August. Big pharma can go to hell.

Gary, how long were you a diabetic?

I’ve had diabetes type 1 for 12 years now, I’m 26 yo. I weighed 56 just a month ago and my a1c was 8.2.. I started a diet with no sugar and started hitting the gym and taking creatine monohydrate. 20 days later I gained weight I’m 59 kg now and my a1c is at 6.7. Today marks 30 days since I started the diet and I tested my a1c in a lab.. Ill inform you later about the results, pray for me.

Thank you for your EXCELLENT content. I have learned so much from you. At 51 years old, I weighed in at 372 and suffered from chronic pain, migraines and no energy. Life was miserable and I felt hopeless things would ever change. I started the Whole30 on Oct 15, 2019 and ate low carb for that first month. The change was miraculous. On Nov 15th (After the 30 days),I transitioned to keto. My starting A1C was 5.8 and fasting blood sugar 117. On Jan 29, 2020 (3.5 months from my changed eating), my A1C dropped to 4.8 and my fasting glucose to 98. In that same timeframe, I lost 64 lbs. Changing the way I eat has given me my life back. ❤️

I am 71 yrs of age. In 3 months I reduced my A1c reading from 6.9 to 6 without any medication. I had already stopped drinking regular soda with sugar a few years ago and almost ate no bread even before that. But I still needed to get off all the sugary processed food, including flour, pasta and rice, and any high-carb fruits. I started exercising at the gym 3 days a week, lost 10 Ibs. and tried some intermittent fasting. I don't know what helped me the most to lower my blood sugar, but I will continue with this formula. Sadly my mother died of diabetes complications. But who says diabetes can't be beaten. Thank you for this video.

I was diagnosed diabetic about 15 weeks ago . with a blood glucose level of 22. The HbA1C (IFCC) was 14.9 3 months ago one week ago the HB A1C was 8.3 in the last 7 months my weight has reduced from 91 kg to 79 a size 42 pants to a size 36. these results are at the age of 60+ Without taking metformin due to extreme side effects. Am having a lot of benefits. not craving a lot of water. not waking up 4 to 5 times to urinate. waking up fresh and lively after 6.5 to 7 hours. have not felt like that in 40 years. It is wonderful to get your holistic approach. Thank you. May the blessings be. My goal is to bring my insulin level down to 3 and totally reverse my insulin resistance.

That was an excellent explanation of how the A1 C reduces in a normal time frame.

I'm following your advice. I'm 5'8" male that weighed 234 and diagnosed pre-diabetic and taking max dose of Meloxicam and Lovastatin daily...getting worse day by day. I started IF/Keto and progressed to OMAD/Keto within 2 weeks, and working-up to 30 minutes of mild aerobic stationary bicycle per day. In 30 days I lost 22lbs, my blood glucose is down to "normal levels". My BP and resting pulse are now at "optimal" levels. My pain pain and swelling (inflammation/arthritis) has receded to manageable levels and are getting better day by day. I stopped taking the medications at 30 days and feel better each day. I feel 10 years younger already (I'm 59)! Thank you for educating me on insulin resistance and how to stop and reverse the damage. I am all in on this lifestyle change. I go back to my doctor for a check-up and blood work in 4 months. I can't wait to see his face when the results come back! Edison Pearce 02/13/2023.

August 18, 2022 my a1c was 8.7. I've been watching your videos for a while and decided that I wasn't going to take more meds. I'm 57, was 295 and disabled. I started keto in October and have been strict minus a few days and try my best to do OMAD. Measured my blood sugar today and it was 97. AMAZING! Thank you!

I’m so happy I found you, Dr Ekberg! I finally understand what is going on with my body and treat the cause not the symptoms. I wish your videos had subtitles in Portuguese so I could share it with all my family and friends in Brazil!

Thank you so much for all your lectures/teaching - you help me enormously! This lecture has been especially helpful in setting realistic expectations. I cut sugar, bad fats and processed food almost completely about a year ago but didn’t lose much weight, and checking bg levels w/finger sticks caused those finger tips to go numb so I stopped checking. Still my A1C went from 800’s to 700’s and my doc told me about and prescribed the Free Style Libre 14 day monitor. Now I can measure bg as often as I like and adjust my food intake accordingly. I still wasn’t losing wt like I’d hoped so began water fasting 1/2 of each week and eating 1 meal/day the other half and started losing about 2 pounds a week and lost a total of 75 pounds. Although I am not a beast - don’t have to eat b/c grelin’s been activated and I can do really hard things I began finding it really hard (seemingly impossible) to water fast and in about 3 wks gained back 15 pounds, only eating the same healthful foods, one meal a day most 6/7 days a week. My bg has also been much harder to keep between 70 and 100 on this regimen. Apparently, for me, water fasting is also necessary and just needs to be part of how I do life as a 73 year old with Type II Diabetes. Thank you again for your teaching and inspiration!

This is very informative. I was at 11.5 a month ago, dropped 9lbs and my A1c went down to 10.3. Knowing now how long it will take, I feel confident that I can slow my pace and make realistic goals and still achieve the same results. (And this hasn't been me doing full keto. Just cutting back.)

I was looking for this A1C process. Thanks so much for so detailed and clear explanation of A1C mechanism.

I was diagnosed diabetic on 4/20/2019( a1c of11.4) and doing very strict kept and internet fasting as of 6/23/2019 my a1c is down to 7.2...

Changed to fish 3-4 times a week, lots of salads and veggies as well for dinner, once a week I make a chicken an vegetable stir fry with SUGAR FREE stir fry sauce, FAGE yogurt with blueberries and strawberries squished in every other day for breakfast. I even still enjoy an Islands hamburger every week for lunch (wheat bun of course). I take a raw tblspn of extra virgin olive every morning after breakfast a tblspn of apple cider vinegar with water EVERY day b4 dinner and a cup of hibiscus tea with 1/2 tspn of cinnamon EVERY day around 9 pm...August 1st, my A1C was down to 5.6.

I watch all the food I’m eating looking at the calories and carbs. After 2 months of training and eating more healthy than ever, My A1C drop to 6. Along with my other lab results. What’s even more amazing is my triglyceride drop from 500+ to normal 60+. I’m very thankful for dr Ekberg’s explanation of how things we eat works in the body.

Thanks for this explanation. I recently made some lifestyle changes and wasn't sure how long before I started getting better numbers. It's only been a month. Your chart explained it well...blood sugar is still high, but heading down....A1C only a little. I am going a little different route by reducing carbs, but not going full on keto. I've done it in the past and lost quite a bit of weight, but for me personally, keto wasn't a "lifestyle" diet. I am keeping my carbs below 150 grams per day and I am seeing weight loss and blood sugar improvements which I am happy with. Keto really limited the things that I thought were good, such as fruit. I don't eat added sugars, I don't drink sodas (diet or otherwise) and I have enough variety in my diet to keep me on track.

I have changed my diet to one with low carbs and will let you know the results in about a month! I also have a left frozen shoulder and a cortisone shot isn't allowed until I am under an 8. This gives me a lot of hope that I can have this closer to a 7 in a month!

Hi, Please let us know your A1C changes monthly. It's been 9 months since you have commented but didn't report your numbers yet.

The problem with an insulin pump (other than the implications that one is needed) is sure, it’ll control your blood sugar if it “works” but insulin itself makes you more insulin-resistant as well as being the fat storage hormone, as the most commonly known major function. If your doctor believes it’s the weight that caused the insulin resistance and not the other way around, you should find a better doctor.

What a fine teacher you are. Thank you for explaining this (and the many other important topics you tackle) in clear, understandable terms. Would you explain inflammation sometime in the future? Wishing you all the best, Bonnie

Since you offered... I have a stubborn patch of dry skin along my brow that actually went away during a dry fast, but recurred about a week or so later. I assumed it may have been a response to dairy and am therefore limiting my dairy to fermented types (since I REALLY like dairy). It hasn't seemed to do the trick. Would you recommend giving up dairy entirely, or what action would you suggest? A video on this matter may be a hit. Your student and fan, Bonnie P.S. Thank you very much!

Hard to say from a distance. In my office we use Nutrition Response Testing to find out why the rash is there. It could be a food sensitivity, but it could also be a chemical, metal or some other stressor.

Thank you, Dr Ekberg for your speedy response. Skin is mysterious. I suppose I'll just continue improving my life and welcome the corresponding recovery! To your health (and everyones)! Sincerely, Bonnie @@drekberg

Superb video!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for sharing.

Much needed info. This really gives a perfect clue to go about reducing Hba1c in a systematic approach. Thank you.

Found out I had diabetes on 6/11 my a1c was 7.5 I've lost 29 pounds with a low carb diet and fasting everyday for 12 hrs and 15 hrs once a week. As of 7/27 my a1c was 6.3

Depends how much and how long you exercise. If you exercise daily, less than a month. With HIIT even less. Sweating is also very important. Hard exercise seems to burn up the sugar or glycosolated red cells at a faster rate. Marathon runners or triathletes almost never have diabetes. That should tell us something. In my personal experience taking up hard cycling daily will vastly speed up the process. I ride 10-15mi/day and whenever my numbers get out of whack I found that hitting the cycling harder each day lowers the numbers within a week or two. Not to 4.8 but close enough. Consider doing an all-day cycling trip or a short 2-3 bike packing trip. Pedal and sweat all day and you will see improvement. Cycling burns 600 calories/hour and after half a day, you are burning any and all reserves the body can find.

Simple and to the point, thanks👍

Dr. Ekberg - you are the best. Thank you for the explanation. I was wondering why my doctor wanted me to wait to recheck my A1C in 4 months and not sooner. I've been working on getting my blood glucose lower for 6 weeks now and I've made incredible progress yet my doctor said wait another 2.5 months for the next A1C test. I had very high hopes on a much better A1C but now I know better. It's going to take some time even under ideal conditions.

Thank you J P. There's nothing wrong with measuring once a month or every two months, if satisfying your curiosity is worth a few dollars. Just realize that after a month the test is only going to show you 25% of the actual progress.

Absolutely excellent explanation! Best I’ve seen

I can't wait to show this video to my husband!

@@wildstyle203 I lift moderate to heavy but more so weights for cardio... Light weights while walking and moderate to heavy at the gym... But brother i always say just take it one day at a time... The main key is fasting...

My A1c was recently 9.5 I think, but apparently blood insulin is a better measure of insulin resistance. I've recently adopted a no carb diet.

I loved this video. The numbers in my head just didn't make sense. After watching this, It all makes sense now. Thank you.

Thanks for your detail explanation. I'm working on my IF 1/23 and have dropped 25lbs of 215lbs in a month . My next body check will on July 21,21. I'm so scare of my A1C level and hopefully will back to normal range.
