Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So today we're going to talk about type 2 diabetes. We're not going to be talking

about type 1, but type 2 diabetes is more of a disease of insulin than it is of glucose. Now let me explain.

When you're diagnosed with diabetes type 2, they usually use a blood test to measure how much glucose is in your blood.

If it's 126 or greater and tested a couple times, you are a diabetic.

So that's called hyperglycemia. This is how they diagnose diabetes type 2. But here's the problem. Retinopathy, that's damage with the retina in your eye.

Neuropathy, which is the problem with the nerve in your toes and your fingertips.

Nephropathy, which is the problem with your kidney, it's like kidney disease,

hypertension, memory loss, damage with the brain cells, visceral fat,

all occur before you get high blood sugar.

And this is because the destruction of the eye, the nerve, the kidney, the brain, the heart

occurs with high levels of insulin

and it may take 10 to 20 years

before you become a diabetic,

but in the process you're getting damage with the retina, the nerve,

the kidney, the heart, the brain, and you're getting fatter.

So high levels of insulin over a period of time develop a condition called insulin resistance,

which I'm going to talk about, which then lead to high blood sugar.

The pancreas, the little beta cells, make insulin, and they go into the cells, the receptors, and they

trigger a certain process that creates a different effect.
