Let's talk about the number one most important nutrient for diabetic symptoms.

Now I could also name this presentation as the number one most important nutrient for losing weight or burning fat because they're both directly related.

Now first let me just touch on diabetic symptoms. We're talking about a situation where you have high blood glucose, high blood sugar.

When you have high sugar, you're also going to have insulin resistance. You're going to have either high or low insulin. Usually it starts out high and goes low.

And of course another name for high blood sugar is diabetes hormones or communication. Okay, insulin is a communication that travels with the body and it follows the principles of communication between humans too.

So you need a balance of talking and listening. I remember a while ago my wife and I went to a restaurant and then we're walking out of the restaurant and I remember as we're walking out someone started talking to us next thing you know we're with them at their table for about an hour.

Okay, and both of us could not get a word in edge wise. I mean they were just nonstop talking and the minute that we tried to interject some communication. There was no listening. It was basically a one way flow of constant communication towards us.

And after a while we're kind of like phasing out and we're ready to go. And so when there's just talking and no listening, we don't have communication. Okay, same thing happens in the body.

When there's too much communication like too much insulin. The cells are going to phase out. They're no longer going to be receptive to that communication. And that's what insulin resistance is.

So we have a person on a high carb diet. They're stimulating a lot of insulin. The cells start to phase out.

And now they don't work anymore. So what does the body do initially it starts making more communication more insulin to go over compensate to kind of penetrate through and everything gets all messed up from there on out.

So that's diabetes in a nutshell. Now what are the symptoms of high blood sugar? You have your thirsty. Okay, you're more thirsty than usual. You're drinking on this water.

You're peeing more frequently, especially at night for those people get up several times a night. You have fatigue, especially after you eat. You may get some blurred vision.

And then you are definitely hungry or then you should be and you crave carbohydrates and you have some mood changes. You might feel angry or might feel sad.

Now on the flip side when someone has low blood sugar, they might feel more nervous, anxiety and worry.

That's a really good way to tell what what's happening to someone's blood sugars on what's happening to their mood. All right, now let's talk about the nutrient that's related to this topic. Okay, they did experiments in the 60s.

On certain medications that caused a potassium deficiency and they always notice that there is a problem with insulin, the person ended up with a insulin deficiency and they ended up with insulin resistance and they had higher blood sugars and they didn't know why at first until they did some more research and they found out that there is this huge relationship between potassium and blood sugars.

Insulin that hormone communication needs potassium to help regulate or lower blood sugars. And so if you have a deficiency of insulin or insulin resistance, okay, you're going to need more potassium to be able to balance out these blood sugars.

Okay, and if you don't have that, you're going to have problems with your blood sugars, your blood sugars are going to start to go higher and higher and higher and glucose needs potassium to be able to enter the cells.

And so if your body doesn't have enough potassium that doesn't enter the cells, then it can start to build up. So glucose starts to build up and you start developing a situation when you have high blood glucose.

And when you have lower the amount of potassium in your body, you're more at risk for getting diabetes, as well as insulin resistance, weight gain, higher cholesterol, higher triglycerides, a fatty liver.

So you can see potassium is really, really important in a lot of issues, simply because it's needed by insulin and your blood sugars.
