Hey Dr.

Hey Dr.

Hey Dr. Berg here in this video we're going to talk about blood sugars. Okay, very very

very important yet very misunderstood.

If you have diabetes, if you have hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar,

if you're concerned about preventing those, you want to watch this video.

Now here's how it works. The law of the body is that no

matter what, the body must maintain a certain level of sugar in the blood. Okay, so the blood sugar level, we call it

glucose level, should always be right around 100. Now if you want to know the units, I think it's milligrams per

desulator but don't worry about that but there's blood testing units that you can

test your blood and it should be right here now it does range between 80 and 110, but if that blood sugar goes too high,

that's called hyperglycemia, that means that's diabetes. Okay? If the blood

sugar is too low that is called hypoglycemia.

So the goal for the body is to maintain a blood sugar of 100.

So it'll do everything, it'll tear the body apart, it'll turn, it'll

break down your muscle protein with one goal is to maintain normal blood sugar. So everything that almost everything you eat eventually breaks down into glucose

or sugar, okay? Even foods that are not sugar. Even protein and fat will break down and then you're going to build it, the body will build it back up into sugar.

So sugar is used for fuel and nourishment to the cells.

So the way it works is this. You have this huge organ here called the liver.

The liver is on the right side of your body it's about 3.5 pounds, the size of a football and then we have this tiny

organ right here which is called the pancreas and that's right right
