In this podcast, I’ll explain the first complication of diabetes. Maybe I should really say, the first complication of pre-diabetes! First, you have high insulin, which keeps your blood sugar normal for years. Then it creeps up a little bit. That’s pre-diabetes. And then it goes up, even more, turning into full-blown type 2 diabetes.
The complications of diabetes really have to do with something called glycation, which is when sugar binds with protein or fat. You can get glycation from food that is made up of sugar and fat, or sugar and protein, and are heated. For example, ice cream, donuts, or a hot dog or burger with a bun.
When you consume the type of sugar called fructose, that can increase glycation by up to ten times more than other sugars. And your own body can glycate too, with its own sugar.
When you take diabetes medication to lower blood sugar, where does the blood sugar go? No one talks about this! It doesn’t leave your body; instead, it gets hidden in different nooks and crannies inside you. Then it rots your body from the inside out. That’s why, even when you take diabetes medication, you still develop problems with your coronary arteries, eyes, nerves, and kidneys. So, the problem of high sugar hasn’t really been solved.
The first complication of diabetes is high insulin levels, and it gets worse from there.

| 0:49.0 | I probably should have wrote this pre-diabetes or even pre-diabetes because what happens at first is you have |
| 0:55.5 | high insulin which then pushes the blood sugar down it's going to be normal for like 10 years |
| 1:01.3 | and then the sugar is going to start to go up a little bit that's pre-diabetes and then the sugar is going to start to go up a little bit that's |
| 1:03.2 | pre-diabetes and then the sugar will go up even more in the blood and that's a |
| 1:07.0 | full-blown diabetes. So the complications of diabetes really have to do with this thing called |
| 1:13.2 | Glication, which is the combining of the sugar |
| 1:15.8 | with the protein or the fat. |
| 1:17.8 | Now, you could also get |
| 1:20.1 | glycation from foods by consuming foods with sugar and fat or sugar and |
| 1:26.8 | protein that are heated. Okay? Ice cream for example is pasteurized. So that's a lot of |
| 1:32.0 | sugar, a lot of fat, not good. A donut would be deep fried |
| 1:37.0 | carb, and you have a hot dog with a bun, a burger and bun, the fries. And by by the way when you consume the type of sugar fructose, |
| 1:46.2 | it can increase glycation by 10 times more than other sugars. And then your own body will glicate proteins as well with the high sugar. |
| 1:58.0 | So it can happen from the foods and also it can happen in the body. Now when people the is a disease of high sugar. The question is where does that sugar go? Okay? No |
| 2:16.8 | no one really talks about it. Well, it's being hidden and being pushed in |
| 2:21.4 | different parts of the body. |
| 2:23.2 | It's very similar to me in college. |
| 2:25.1 | We had a house of college kids that lived together. |
