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 ok especially if you don’t understand insulin here’s what you need to know insulin lowers blood glucose or blood sugar ok 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna be like less aware of things you’re gonna do things you’re you don’t understand you’re gonna be very like I’m 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 Sugar’s normal okay so if you were to do a diet or a ketogenic plan or intermittent fasting that’s going to naturally lower your blood Sugar’s and then need for insulin is gonna go down and if you continue to take insulin without understanding what’s going on and you let your blood Sugar’s drop down to low it can be very very very dangerous okay so why does insulin lower blood sugar because too much sugar in the body is toxic so your body’s trying to get rid of it so the real bigger plan for this is to get the sugar out of your diet and don’t eat so frequently it’s the frequency of eating and the amount of carbohydrate in your diet that’s keeping you on the insulin in the first place so if we decrease that the need for insulin goes down the blood sugars get better and you can make adjustments with the help of your doctor but what you need to understand above all else is that insulin lowers blood sugars and as you’re monitoring your blood sugars if they come down and you take insulin you’re gonna actually allow yourself to get into a real bad place so check with your doctor decrease the insulin as needed if your blood sugars come down and if you’re new to this click the link down below because I have a little mini course on what to eat so you can decrease the need for insulin because taking so much insulin over a long period of time is also dangerous to the body thanks for watching hey guys I want to introduce you to my new doctor Berg app it’s right here it’s I’m really excited about it you need to download it it’s free it has a lot of great data it has all my videos it’s updated on a regular basis I also have the audio version of the videos audio episodes I also have a mini course that you can take I also have a button for new content so you can really know of all the recent content that I’m downloading and I also have something called PDF resources which gives you additional cool little one-page PDF documents on all sorts of health things so download it check it out and tell me what you think about it and don’t forget to give me a review it’s dr.
