So let's talk about the highest blood sugar ever recorded in history.

It was recorded in 2008 by type 1 diabetic, a child named Michael Patrick Boonecora.

Now think about what normal blood sugar is. It's like 80 milligrams per decilator.

His blood sugars were 2656 milligrams per decilator.

I mean, this is like astronomical. I mean, I've heard people having blood sugars of 300, 400, 500 and 600, but that's when they usually go into a coma.

So this is blew me away of how high a blood sugar could actually get. Now realize you have insulin that is constantly buffering the sugars. It's taking the sugar out of your blood constantly.

And he was a type 1 diabetic. So he didn't have any insulin. Obviously he didn't take into medication. So his blood sugars just went, you know, kept going higher and higher. Now ingesting one gram of glucose.

Okay. We'll raise your blood sugars about roughly 5 milligrams per decilator.

So just think about how much sugar someone would have to consume to raise their blood sugars over 2000 milligrams per decilator.

But again, you have to take in consideration insulin because insulin is going to come in there and take it out of the blood.

But if you have insulin resistance or your prediabetic or diabetic, that's going to be a problem because with insulin resistance, you might be pumping out all this insulin.

But it's not working to lower your blood sugars. This is why the blood sugars start increasing.

Now today, I want to talk about something very, very interesting that relates to blood sugars.

It's not just sugar that will raise your blood sugars. It could also be stress. Let me explain. When you go through stress, your body needs quick energy.

So your liver is going to start making glucose. Okay. And then there's nothing to do with your diet. You can be eating healthy foods.

But your liver will start converting like protein, fat, ketones into glucose.

And that process is called gluconeogenesis. Now, there's a really, really good test that could be done, which measures an average blood sugar over two to three months. It's called A1C.

And A1C basically measures how much of the protein your blood is glycated or damaged from sugar.

So when the sugar goes up in the blood, it destroys the protein. And this process is irreversible. Okay. It's permanent. So you have to now wait two to three months before that red blood cell has been dealt with by the body.

So A1C is a really good measurement of the average of your blood sugars over roughly three months.

And it's a really good way to determine if someone is cheating on their diet too, because let's say you're doing great through the week and you're checking your blood sugars each day and everything comes out real good.

But then in the weekends, you go off the program. Well, with A1C, you're measuring this average for three months. So you're going to pick up those times that you cheated. But let's say, for example, you're not cheating and you're not eating sugar.
