So, in this video, we're going to talk about why diabetics must understand insulin.

This is very, very, very important.

It's vital.

If you're diabetic, type 1 or type 2, this video is vital, okay, especially if you don't

understand insulin.

Here's what you need to know.

Insulin lowers blood glucose or blood sugar, okay?

We'll just call it blood sugar to make it simple.

So when you're taking the medication insulin, it's lowering your blood sugars, okay?

Now if your blood sugars are 100 or less and you take insulin, what do you think is

going to happen?

If you don't know that answer, you're in some serious trouble because if you take it

when it's low, you're going to end up with hypoglycemia, a much lower blood sugar

to the point where you become literally stupid.

I'm not trying to say you're stupid, I'm just saying you're going to be like less aware

of things.

You're going to do things you don't understand.

You're going to be very, like, almost slightly unconscious, okay?

Because the lower the blood sugar, the more unconscious you go, even to a coma.

So you'll like just walk around like, okay, forget full that type of thing.

So we want to avoid that and the way you avoid that is keep your blood sugars normal.

Okay?
