Dr. Berry, I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic almost 30 years ago. Went through the standard progressively downward spiral, with oral medication giving way to at first, Lantus once a day, and then Novolin R added at meal time. Mealtime dose of Novolin R is 40 units per meal, and Lantus is 40 units nightly. Had a BKA, and now have borderline Stage 4 kidney failure. Nephrologist discontinued Metformin about two years ago, and now the two insulins are the only diabetes meds I take. Last A1C was 7.5, but that was at the start of LCHF eating. Also I have hypertension at 62 years old, and a calculated BMI of 38. It was 41 just 11 weeks ago. Now for the good news. After discovering your videos, I went to the LCHF diet on January 1 of this year. It really wasn't all that hard, once I figured out that I had to just throw away or give away anything I should not eat. I've lost 25 pounds in 90 days, using common foods from my local supermarket, and I feel so much better. My clothing fits better as well, and edema in my good leg and stump, which was so bad that most days I could not force my prosthetic leg on, has now completely resolved. But here finally is my question. Before, with the insulin, I was fixing my glucose numbers and they looked good to my doctor, which is all he wants to talk about. I now eat only two, and often one meal per day, with a daily intake of around 1,500 calories or less (just not hungry for any more), and an average of 25 carbs daily. Healthy fat runs about 65% of my diet now and the rest is protein from meat, eggs, and fish. I'm eating lots of leafy green and cruciferous veggies. Therefore I am taking Novolin less often because I eat less often now. When I lay off the insulin by about one-third, (two doses per day) I seem to lose weight at almost 1.5-2 pounds a week, and I like that. But my blood glucose, especially at wake up, is higher than it was before starting LCHF. Think in terms of 225-250 ish. I must be getting one heck of a liver dump in the morning hours, because I'll often go to bed at 110 and wake up at 250. I have a lot of abdominal fat, so I assume I have a fatty liver, non alcoholic type because I neither smoke nor drink. But when I go back to mealtime insulin 3 times a day, weight loss seems to stop no matter how little I eat. So I get good readings, but stay fat. Also, so-called rapid acting insulin seems to take two to three hours to have any effect on my blood sugar, and keeps working for about seven hours before blood sugar goes as low as it is going to go. The Lantus, so far as I can tell, is doing nothing. In your opinion, if you would like to take a crack at this, am I better off to keep up as much insulin as before to fix my blood sugar numbers, or tolerate a bit higher blood sugar with less insulin to hopefully re-start the weight loss? When fasting, it takes forever for my sugar to drop. Or does this "stall" just happen and am I expecting results too quickly, given how long I have had Type 2 diabetes? I'm sure that I'm pretty darned insulin resistant. I've posed this question to my doctor, who doesn't really want to get into it, because he thinks LCHF is "unhealthy for diabetics". Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.

I've been eating meat and eggs only for 11 years and I am still as diabetic as ever. I cannot even eat dairy. Metformin makes me so sick, I now take a bit of R insulin in the morning to flatten the rise and a bit to cover protein in breakfast. Usually good for the rest of the day. Works beautifully. Don't necessarily put down insulin. The Law of Small Numbers!!

Me neither… I had to ask for a meter after taking a diabetes education class online. Many years ago, He just said I was diabetic and prescribed metformin, and others as time went on. He told me to “eat less, move more” (which got me to the low 6s in A1c for a time) He also said the day would come when meds alone would not control it and insulin would be necessary.

I had a heart attack at 50. after that the healthier I ate ,( AMA standards), the sicker I got. The sicker I got the more meds I got. The more meds I took the sicker I got. I went Keto about two years ago. I stopped all but one medication. All my blood work is much better now.

Had Gall bladder removed last May. Sugar was up and was told to get it checked by my PCP. Surgeon thought sugar was up from inflammation as a result of Gall bladder. My DR. thought otherwise. Prescribed Metformin, Januvia and Insulin injections. Got on youtube and searched how to lower blood sugar. Dr Berry was the first video that came up. I watched it and was intrigued. Binge watched all I could find and resolved to start on a Keto diet. Family thought I was crazy. In 2 months A1C went from 9.3 to 6.1. Dr thought the meds are working well. I did not tell her I only took them for the first month. During my November checkup A1C was now 4.6. February checkup 4.8. Dr said no need to come back for 6 months. I consider myself cured and will stay on Keto for the rest of my life. 60 years old, BP was 115/69 last check and all labs were in the normal range. Blood Sugar has not been over 109 since I started Keto. (during Christmas I might have cheated a little) to reach the 109. Only check once a day to make sure everything is good. I now preach Keto to all, not sure how much good I am doing but will continue try to convert people to the best way to live and be healthy.

I am a type2 diabetic. The day before yesterday I ate beans with bread and salad. A very large portion. After the meal I took 500 mg metformin. 2 hours later my glucose level was at 204. I felt awful. I took 500 mg more metformin, that's 1 gr total. I didn't eat anything for the next 18 hours, that is next morning. My glucose in the morning was at 114, almost normal. This shows that my pancreas with a little help from metformin (when I eat carbohydrates) still works. I think that the key to reverse type2 diabetes is intermittent fasting, no sugars, no starches, no breads. Thanks doctor.

Again, Dr Berry, a very heartfelt thank you to you for sharing this info' with the T2D community. Oh, and this info' is also essential reading for people who are suffering from 'My Plate' induced obesity as well. The last time I was given a blood test, I was told by the receptionist - after pestering them to the limit - that my A1c was, er, okay. Well, I'm no MD and did only go to a red brick university, but I think I might manage to understand a wee bit more than 'okay' without being totally flummoxed by techno-speak. What about CRP, triglycerides and C-Peptide? Oh, we don't test for that. Well, what was my A1c? I told you: it was okay. Btw, the doctor will call you to discuss statins and ACE inhibitors....ARRRG!

Thank you for this video, Dr Berry. I'm sure I've probably watched it before but 5he lessen must not have sunk in. My doctor fired me from her practice last week because I refused an immediate appt. to an Endo for an insulin pump. I've been on a keto/carnivore style diet for eleven years. Insulin is low and C-Peptide is midrange. My glucose is still high and I have not been able to figure out why. Today I listened to Dr. Bikman's Metabolic Classroom series and he talked about that in full. Together, your video and his have answered my questions. I couldn't be more grateful. As I suspected last week, my doctor has no idea what fasting insulin or C-Peptide mean. It's so sad. I loved my doctor and now I don't even have one.

Great subject, just had labs done at a health fair in Alaska. No c-peptide, got my D up to 135, reversing my T2 with HFLC diet

Getting tougher to stick w/low-carb or Keto the way stuff is running out in the stores - but I'm still in the fight.

I was diagnosed with A1C of 10. Yes...my diet was poor and exercise non-existent. I almost died from sepsis since my immune system was exhausted from the constantly high blood sugar. Big wake up call. Dietitian and doctor both told me to just keep eating carbs but to take insulin several times a day. They meant 'healthy carbs,' of course. Wanted me to eat lots of pasta and rice still. I didn't want to continue eating carbs at all after doing research and realizing that all carbs are basically sugar. Each their own. I went keto and started getting fasting glucose of 85 within a few months. No insulin. That was even before I started adding exercise in. Today, my fasting glucose is fine unless I eat a ton of protein. The body will convert some excess protein into glucose. The good doctor is 100% correct. Don't just assume that your pancreas is dead. Your doctor does not know, because your doctor is not doing the tests required to find out. Give keto a try. Make sure to take plenty of electrolytes the first two weeks, or you'll get cramps, headaches etc. Enjoy the guilt-free bacon. Dietary fat does not equal body fat. I've lost like 65 lbs and I eat an amount of fat that would terrify The American Heart Association.

Improved A1c, very minimal, improved kidney function, minimal. Improvement yes but frustrating & very tiring. Have asked for this blood test 3 drs, no one would do it. They tell me it's not necessary.

I am dealing with this myself. My pancreas is so inflamed. Did you get any results or another plan that is working?

Speaking the truth.

hello I feel as if I am getting pancreatitis symptoms after three weeks on bbbe. Had pancreatitis once about 12 years ago. After a knee surgery. do you think it's the BBBE that's causing this?

Luckily for me I am now off my meds completely. I was taking 2000 MG Metformin daily. Never got bad enough to need insulin however. The highest A1C I saw was 7.2. Got Keto wise months(years now) ago. I do have one thought however. When I was first diagnosed as T2D in 2011 my earlier research suggested that higher blood glucose destroyed the Beta cell on the Pancreas. Once destroyed there was no getting them back. So in my case I am wondering how much of my condition is due to lack of insulin production due to loss of Beta cell function or Insulin Resistance or both? You can be sure my next doc visit I'm going to ask for the C-Peptide test. Possibly HOMA-IR as well. But I can control mine through diet.

So I’ve been on keto (almost carnivore) for 16 months and I did it out of curiosity thinking I might be insulin resistant even though doctors never checked my blood sugar or anything due to the fact that I was thin. But I suffered from other internal issues such as gall bladder stones, uterine fibroids, kidney stones, depression & anxiety, migraines and my mother is diabetic. So I went on the diet but I did not think to check my markers before the diet but 4 months into a strict keto plus IF as well as several prolonged fasts I decided to see what my A1C was and I was surprised to find out I was at the lower end of pre-diabetes (5.7-5.8). And every time I checked since I am stubbornly at the same level which worried me so I asked my endocrinologist for an insulin test. He did a fasting C Peptide and mine came extremely low (1.1) and at this time my A1C finally dipped down to 5.6. He said no sign of insulin resistance here and he thought that the reason for my insulin being so low was my keto diet so he didn’t seem worried but now I am worried that it maybe because my pancreas is burnt out. Why else would my A1C be sow high. I think it’s high for such a low fasting insulin. What do you think? Should I be worried?

Dr Berry, is fasting detrimental to someone who has Exocrine Pancreatis Insufficiency? She had weight loss surgery years ago but is now daily fasting and newly diagnosed and has been told not to fast??? Are there any other enzymes she could take other than the normal PERT?

If the numbers on the C Peptide test are low, will a ketogenic diet still help?

Hi Dr. Berry, how can we heal pancreatic insufficiency? It's difficult to digest fats with it.

I have been on very little carbs keto, then stopped keto and went paleothic ketogenic and that's when my c peptides went low on fasting fir blood work. Why?

If I have a low c-peptide ie low insulin production, is there anything I can do to improve beta cell function?

I am struggling with this now, and have been to my doctor a lot over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, he has never mentioned a C-Peptide test. So after watching this today, I called for an appointment to do just that. Also, I have known that carbs raise my blood sugar far more and for a far longer time than sugar. I've tried to cut as many carbs as possible, but am still having trouble. One thing is that I don't get is the exercise I need, and I'm working on that. I'm not obese and have historically been in great shape, but looking back, I believe I've been dealing with blood sugar issues for over thirty years... I've just ignored or not known the symptoms I should have been looking out for. On top of all this, I have had some serious digestive issues over the past four years (hospitalized in 2020 with colitis and then had my gallbladder removed), and I now believe these issues are _also_ tied to my pancreas.

Ken I Really enjoy your Videos and I do hope you can address this ONE concern that I have and that is THIS:- "CAN A FATTY PANCREAS SEEM LIKE A BURNED OUT PANCREAS?". So perhaps because of the surrounding FAT the beta cells in the pancreas cannot detect the glucose in the blood and so simply stand idle AND/OR perhaps because of a FATTY PANCREAS the Beta cells cannot get the insulin into the blood stream. I would love to hear your views on this aspect! Many Thanks Peter

The C-Peptide test will only detect the insulin your pancreas is (or is not ) making. Injected insulin won't affect the result.

@@KenDBerryMD Thank you very very much for your reply. I am sure this will help many insulin dependent Type 2 patients to check whether their pancreàs are functioning and change their diets accordingly. Keep up the good work Doctor and God bless you and your family. Respect.

Great video. I believe we need to stop using the word, diet. Use the word, life style eating. As soon as non keto people hear the word diet, they think temporary fix. Keto/IF is not a diet. It’s a permanent life style of eating to be healthy for life. Just some healthy food for a thought. ❤️❤️❤️

@Arshad Rana Not apples; too sugary.

You mentioned C-Peptide test in another video. I had it done almost 2 years ago. My pancreas is operating at .3% I’ve stuck with the ketogenic diet the past 2 years religiously, lost 50 pounds, now weighing 143 lbs. Thank you, Dr. Berry! My diet is perfect yet my sugars still spike. Cut out all insulin before meals 2 years ago, take only Lantus at bedtime. My question is, (as I plan to lose more weight), as I become thinner, would that help my pancreas to work less to possibly get off of insulin, or am I probably stuck taking insulin for the rest of my life? Diagnosed Type 2 diabetic, insulin dependent, 28 years ago. Had gestational diabetes during last trimester, controlled with diet. Normal after delivery, then suddenly became diabetic 7 years later. I am now 65. Thank you in advance for any help with my question!!!

I don't think the test can detect 0.3% of pancreas capacity. Are you sure it's not C-Peptide at 0.3, which is below normal, but not so drastically low?

@@Alexagrigorieff Thank you again for writing me. I'm not sure about the range on the report. On the right side of the paper, I see 1.1 - 4.4. But I google searched and found 0.5 to 2.0 nanograms per milliliter??? I don't know if the c-peptide level can improve, or whether when it's gone it's gone. I'm still striving forward with the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. Even though I do not progress as fast as some others, I am still headed in the right direction and doing better now than I have in all my 28 years of being diabetic...thanks to Dr. Berry's videos. I look and feel better. But don't understand why my sugars still spike even while being on a keto diet. I eat as low carb as possible. Maybe it spikes because my pancreas is not operating as it should and maybe even very low carb foods can still spike it? I don't know. I feel like an enigma sometimes. Thanks again in reaching in trying to help figure myself out. It is so nice of you!

There are a significant amount of cases where the beta-cells started working again while in a ketovore/carnivore diet. Just as there are children that are cured from seizures with keto, even if they didn't eat keto any longer, there are some whose pancreas started working again, when it had time to heal on a very low carb diet.

What steps to take if the c-peptide is low, can that be reverse?

Too much stored fats in your liver that are leaking out as sugar. Continue with high fat carnivore diet, and fast for 16 hours a day, and slowly take it up to 23 hours (one meal a day). During fasting if you feel hungry take a spoon of MCT oil, butter, olive oil and drink lots of water.

If your taking insulin, can this test tell the difference of what you produce and what you injected? Had a doctor tell me you have to do this test before you're on insulin otherwise it's useless.

Dear Dr Ken Berry, I haven't been diagnosed a diabetic before. I've been trying out carnivore diet over the past week. 1. My heartbeat getting fast after meal 2. My blood sugar kept increasing even not consuming any carbohydrates to 7.3 3. Over time, Will this blood sugar damage my nervous system as well? 4. I had twice diarrhea, and I don't really have poop at all. Could Dr Ken Berry please advice, thanks. I really need help

Everything you mentioned is completely normal when going carnivore. Keep going. It will get better. Do salt water flushes once every 2 weeks to clean out your colon.

if my pancreas is burned out, can i heal that?

i got the other issue. i make too much insulin lol

I am a type II diabetic for last 26 years. Due to diabetic pills (specially sulfoneuryas) my beta cells appear to have burned out. At present my C-peptide reading is 0.36 (fasting) and 0.33 (after meals). At present I am on insulin. Novo rapid 04-04-04 and Tresiba 8 units at 9 PM. After starting keto diets and intermittent fasting Novo rapid dose is reduced (0-02--04). My question is: Can my beta cells which are lying dormant (or burned out) be revived on following keto regimen and intermittent fasting? I shall be highly grateful if you kindly guide me..

@@KenDBerryMD Thank you Doc.The patient is my sister. She is 72, a MD herself, she worked all her life at the Cantacuzino Institute in Bucharest, Romania (sort of cousin of Pasteur Institute in France) but it seems her medical training did not help her at all with her own health. She had a stroke 2 years ago which left her having difficulties in moving her right arm, she uses pampers not being able to walk by herself, she needs permanent care so she is in a nursing home since then. She has all the medical issues you are talking about in your videos: hipertension, overweight, type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately the treatment she gets is the old fashioned one: three meals a day with snacks in between (the diabetologist who is treating her is constantly insisting in recommending these snacks, despite me suggesting, as kindly as I can, we should give her fewer meals!), no restriction on starches, daily insulin shots, statins. I have not been able to find her an MP, who would know about the keto diet, or at least be open minded and accept the low carb approach, in order to, if not cure, at least improve her condition. Have you any knowledge about such a MP in Romania, Bucharest? I could not find one in this part of the world in the links you posted in some of your previous videos. Best regards, thank you for trying to help us.

Is there anyway to raise your c peptide levels? Mine was .5 at my last blood work up but the Dr. said that I didn't need insulin but from looking at your video that's a lie.
