Get the Highest Quality Electrolyte euvexia.com . How Long Does It Take To Reverse Insulin Resistance? A lot of people want to lower their insulin resistance fast especially if they were just diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes. High insulin levels are not hard to reverse once you understand why they are high.
How Long Does It Take To Reverse Insulin Resistance? That depends on how we define Insulin resistance. Do we look only at blood glucose and A1c, or do we also consider fasting insulin and HOMA-IR?
Based on the official definition of type 2 diabetes - high blood sugar or A1c - diabetes could be reversed in weeks or months, but there would be a strong tendency for the body to go back. If we base it on actual cellular insulin resistance and how long it takes to regenerate tissues and re-establish homeostasis in the body, we could be talking years to really reverse insulin resistance.
In this video we will help you understand the different stages of insulin resistance and the underlying mechanisms that you are actually trying to reverse for lasting improvement. Learn how to reverse insulin resistance and diabetes naturally and to keep learning and continuing the journey to not only be free of symptoms and disease, but to achieve optimal health and have wellness for life..

@frasersgirl4383 4 года назад

Dr. Sten Ekberg I’ve been doing low carb and intermittent fasting and my A1C has gone from 9.4 to 7.0. My insulin use has gone from 40 units to 5 and I’ve lost twenty pounds. My doctor told me last week she wants to take me off of insulin. I would then be med free. I’m 59 and went thru a quad bypass two years ago and felt like my life was over. I haven’t felt this great in decades!!!

@MrGordonhpeters 4 года назад

I've lost 70 pounds in a year and it took about 6 months for my fasting glucose to get under 100 and it took 9 months to stop metformin. going to have my insulin, glucose and cortisol bloodwork done in September to see what my insulin resistance is. A1c has gone from 7.1 (on max dose of metformin and trajenta) to 5.2 with no meds. Hopefully in September it is under 5. Your videos explain the mechanisms occurring in our bodies very clearly. please keep putting out relevant and important videos for us. We all need nutritional and lifestyle education. Since I started my lifestyle change and my family has seen my improvements members of my family have also committed to the LCHF lifestyle and are also seeing benefits to their health. Thanks Dr. Ekberg!

Soda drinks ( Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta etc..) & adapted to a 12 hour Fasting at Night. Recorded Fasting Blood Glucose Every Morning and graphed with excel & monitored the fluctuations & managed to maintain it two months average of 96.5 mg/dl. Increased intake of Protein (Chicken, Fish, Eggs,Salmon), Olive oil & Green Leafy Veggies (Mainly Cauliflower, Beans, Okra, Brokali & Parsley). During the day I had some milk with added coffee and dark chocolates ( 50% of Cocoa made in Sri Lanka) & occasionally some curd with one or two teaspoons of Honey. My HBA1c dropped from 9.3 to 5.7 by 12th April 2023 (Within exactly 60 days). Weight loss exactly 8kg. My BMI is exactly 22. I am so happy to bring down My HBA1c to None Diabetic level without any doctor fees, Prescription Drug Fees, Unnecessary Lab Report Fees & without time wasting. I am planning to drop it to 5 by 12 th May 2023. Meantime, I got my Lipid Profile, eGFR (Kidney Function Test), Complete Liver Profile, Full Blood Count & Specially the C - Peptide Report that measured the functionality of pancreas & all reports are almost perfect. My special Thanks going to Prof. Robet Lustig, Dr.Jason Fung, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr.KenDBerryMD, Nature’s path to wellness and My wife for preparing the delicious meals without Carbs.

Same here although I'm only 5 weeks in. So I cannot legitimately say "broken the addiction". However, this is the only 5 weeks in the past 40 years I've had practically 0 sugar. In 5 weeks I've not eaten more than 100g carb on any day, and I have had precisely 0 sugary foods or used any sugar/sweetener in any drink, and have only had small amounts of pineapple or blueberries as fruit, once daily, about 1/2 cup.

@AlexAquarius963 2 года назад

Thank you Glenn for sharing that. I'm 57, eat healthy, no grain, no milk since I was 21, skinny, I've worked out every day for years, in certain periods of my life. I only eat what comes out of the ground, no sugar and no salt my entire adult iife. Beer is what gave me IR. It started in 2007, after a divorce, I also went into the single party scene with a lot of social friends drinking every night beer. I've been some horrible events since and deaths in the family, accidents, and left my career to care for sick parents, and just drank beer in my free time. Last year my Sister died, and I realized when my neighbor said I don't even look the same as when he met me 4 years earlier, I realized I wasn't eating, I just forgot to. I started losing strength in my legs. Today is the first day I've gone all day without a beer. My feet swelled and I got some neuropathy and redness, more in my right leg because of an accident. My right foot I smashed in 2016 is my indicator light, and I cracked that ankle in December again on stairs. I've lived on an alkaline diet for years and I am skinny, I don't eat carbs, pasta, chips, nothing in a bag, no candy or anything from a factory or in a freezer. If my electricity goes off, my diet remains the same. I haven't been sick or to a doctor in 10 years, not even for a broken foot, ankle or pulled ligaments in my knee at the gym this summer. I even think I had Covid for two months in December of 2019 coughing up phlegm and came out fine. This year my Mother died of COVID, or better said the jabs after she recovered, and I drank literally all day long this summer until I have trouble walking and now peeing. I'm at my low point, and I'm going to speed up my recovery and stop beer completely. It's the only factor there is for me, and I saturated myself this summer after she died in May and my knee laid me up for two months. I'm glad to hear in 6 months probably I will feel transformed, even if I'm not cured for more years, I can manage that with my normal diet which is alkaline and keto already.

I hope you’re doing better. I cut back completely or substantially on a lot of things that spiked my blood sugar, like ice cream, white potatoes, cereal, and sugary desserts. I had stopped bread at home for years now, and stopped eating white dinner biscuits and other bread items at dinners while dining at other people’s’ homes, but I would have bread on occasion, if eating at a restaurant. I also lost 9 pounds. My A1C went from 6.4 to 6.9 at my last physical, three weeks ago and I couldn’t figure out why. So, I sat down and made a list of things to eliminate completely . All items I still ate on occasion were listed: Bread at restaurants, including sandwich bread Restaurant croutons on salads Tortillas and tortilla chips Potatoes, including sweet potatoes Pasta (which I rarely ate) White rice Crackers Cookies (already reduced) Race Trac or Menche’s Yogurt The occasional chocolate shake Occasional McDonalds sundae Any fried foods Coffee creamer containing sugar Even those after-dinner mints at restaurants. I’m also adding more muscle at the gym, as it helps to reduce blood sugar and A1C levels. I want to lose about 40 more pounds, as well. Let’s see what happens. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

As you not only see results but feel better and full all the time I was doing 2mad the first 10 days but then I found myself no longer hungry for the second meal in my 6 hot window., And am Omad most days. As Dr sten tells you your body will tell you. My brain fog is gone and my energy is through the roof! Although it's possible my results were a little faster as I was prediabetic and not taking insulin yet. I have no doubt if I continued the standard American diet instead of making these changes, I would be well on my way to drs saying I had to go on insulin. I watch at least one video a day of Dr. Stens in order to keep myself on track, vigilant and hopeful. As well as absorbing the knowledge so this way can be second nature for me. If we were all walking around see through and could see the actions and reaction of foods on ours bodies, it would be so much easier to undo the many years of misdirection and misinformation on this

I've been diabetic for 10 years and I was taking 3 different meds a day and my A1C kept going up. I didn't want to go on insulin, so I started search for my own answers. In April I found RU-vid - Dr. Jason Fong and listened to his long discussions in reversing Diabetes and started eating meals with no breads, pastas, or anything with sugar. I subsequently found your channel and find it so much easier to follow. You pack alot of information in a relatively short period of time. In May my A1C was 7.9 and we had to reschedule our Dr. Appt till the end of July at which time I explained to my Dr what I was doing and he did another test and my A1C went down to 6.4. His words were WOW. I am trying the Keto/low carb diet and IF and my weight loss has been slow, but for me it is more about reversing my A1C. You are correct that everyone's experience is different. Thank you for all the understandable information that you have given those of us who are searching for a natural healthy way of healing.

@drekberg 4 года назад

I've not had a health insurance policy/plan for almost 30 years (I'm 73yo). So I'm forced to take care of my body -- I'm not so good at it, but, fortunately, haven't needed hospital care since 1986. I, too, am extremely leery of American-style medical care. They're great for trauma care, but horrible for lifestyle advice. It's kinda like, MDs know just enough of the health maintenance lingo to be a danger to others. A fulsome understanding of health maintenance is sadly not in their pharma toolshed. They are transactional technocrats. I can't beat them up about it. It's always been that way, going back hundreds of years. As one doctor I know says it, 'Your doctor may be the nicest person on the planet; but he/she still doesn't know how to cure the common cold.'

Very accurate information. I am been fighting my stubborn prediabetes for almost 2 years ( prediabetes for 2 decades without knowing. Got blood work done every year but no doctor ever mentioned). I am an active lifestyle practicing sports, tennis, swimming since young age. When getting older I walk 2 hours daily and swimming 30 laps, 5 times a week. I have the history of diabetes from mother and research constantly for a remedy. Since 2021 I started fasting from 18 to OMAD variation, daily, cut completely all refined sugar, restrict carbs as much I can. I can finally bring down blood glucose to the 80 from 118, A1C 5.2 from 5.8. But take only a couple days to jump back to the high over 110 fasted when breaking the rules. It's not a joke. High blood glucose and insulin resistant do take a long time to reverse with a proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, discipline and persistency. There is no short cuts or fast remedies.

My liver is fatty & I’m certain my pancreas is also. Nonetheless, I know what I need to do. No more excuses. IF and keto has helped me regain my energy and I feel strong & fit.Thank you once again for your help!!

In April 2017 I was obese, Type 2 Diabetic, with high blood pressure and high triglycerides. By the end of September, 2017 I was at normal weight, reversed the Diabetes and lowered to normal blood pressure and triglycerides. All blood markers were normal, except liver markers were low. The liver markers took a couple years to normalize. Within two weeks of starting my journey I was off the Metformin and blood pressure medications. I started with extended 2 day, ate one day, then 5 day extended fast. By that time I was off medications because blood pressure and glucose got too low. Followed that with 17 days eating whole fruits and above-the-ground vegetables only. I then fasted from 1 to 7 days a week, while eating low carb, high fat whole food diet. I ate zero sugar and zero processed foods during that period. I never went back to eating processed foods, junk foods, sugar, or grains, i eat virtually none. I avoid grains like a poison. I made a list of 23 health issues that were reversed. From April through November 2017 I averaged 3 out of 7 days fasted. My weight and health are maintained by eating on the low carb / keto / carnivore protein-focused diet, with daily intermittent fasting. I still occasionally do extended water-only fasts. I am very consistent in my eating. Never will I eat the Standard American Diet again. If there is no other option, I just won't eat. I have gone as long as 10 days without eating, so missing a meal, is not an issue.

It took me about 4 months to drop my A1C from 6.0 to 4.6 and to loose about 40 lbs. After a year I am down 55 lbs to about what I weighed in collage (I'm 70 now). I had been insulin resistant for quite some time and I know that I probably will always have a tendency to be that way. I watch what I eat and try to stay Keto as much as I can. Every now and then I will cheat (usually at social events). I have to say that I learned so much from RU-vid doctors. I know a lot more than my everyday physician does. Unfortunately there are no physicians around my area in TN that deal with nutrition as a cure. They are all pill pushers and most of the people are extremely overweight and probably type 2 diabetic .

I have managed to keep "goodish" control for a long time taking I gram of Metformin and using low carb diets when numbers began to shift. Now I am 75 and my diabetes nurse wants to give me another oral drug. Recently I had to have a CT scan and stopped my Metformin for 48 hours before and after. My blood glucose went way out of wack and I deperately want my next AIc to be good so I an embracing 16:8 intermittent fasting. After 3 weeks I am getting used to it and my glucose fasting readings are beginning to respond. I hope they will be good enough by June for me to be able to argue for trying to keep myself healthy through lifestyle changes. Better late than never!

Thank you! I am so grateful for videos like this. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in January 2022. In 3 months I have successfully reversed it. I just wanted to thank you for telling me the truth about the real cause of diabetes and how to overcome it. I know I'm not as healthy as I want to be and there is a lot of work left to do but now I am armed with knowledge and know it is possible to heal.

Thank you so much Dr Ekberg. This is possibly the best video I have watched on this subject and I've watched a lot. I'm 61 and started taking my type 2 diabetes seriously using a combination of diet and medication (Januvia 100mg a day) and in 2 months my blood sugar levels dropped from 13.2 to 7.2 which is incredible. I have an A1c check in 4 months time. I am intolerant to Metformin, the side effects are awful. You also get a feelgood factor from your achievements. Unfortunately exercise is difficult for me due to arthritis. Keep on rockin' in Atlanta !

I'm glad I found your videos before it was too late. I'm a 32 year old, male, overweight with bmi of 29, just before obesity. Started out with restricted feeding window over a week ago, manage to keep a regular schedule between 10-11 o'clock to 18-19 o'clock and have cut out anything with massive amounts of sugar and artificial sweeteners, and cut down on carbs. I also do daily morning exercises, 15min on stationary bike for a warmup before doing 10-15 min of core exercises, plus HIIT exercises at least once a week.

@jasongriffiths7243 2 года назад

After watching this vid taking on board how the insulin system works, I went onto a keto plain food only diet and increased my daily exercise slightly. It took 3 weeks to fine tune. This brought my fasting levels down from 7.3 to consistently 6.3. Then I added 500mg of Berberine per day. Now at the end of week 4, blood glucose levels are sitting at 5.9 after 10 hr fasting, and 5.7-9 2 hours after a meal. This guy is on the money, remove the sugar and lower your crap carb intake.

@jasongriffiths7243 2 года назад

@@wab_ It’s all gone rather well. Some minor changes like dropping Berbarine after a month. Balsamic vinegar rather than apple cider. Just did 6mth blood test. Fasting down to 4.6, A1C at 4.3. Potassium at 4.6. Cholesterol is excellent with a little low on HDL. I’ll up the virgin olive oil from a 30ml shot to 50ml shot. I watched other RU-vidrs to get the general diet I could live with. Intermittent fasting was basically 2 meals starting around 1pm and second at 7:30-8:30pm. I still have 2 cups of coffee with milk in the morning (bonus!) I tried introducing carbs like standard white bread (bacon sandwich white bread) or half a cooked potato (hot) once a day for 2 weeks Digestive system was not happy. Very cleansing, regularly remained the same.

@wab_ 2 года назад

@@jasongriffiths7243 wow that's very impressive! I've been diagnosed 2 months ago with T2D with 10.7 a1c and a fasting bg of 300mg/dl (~17mmol/L) and now I'm trying to maintain a fasting bg of 75-85 mg/dl (~4.2-4.7) but I'm having a hard time doing that.. I'm off meds and I'm on keto and OMAD diet and my blood glucose goes down very slowly and it takes up to 14 hours to start going down after a meal.. I hope that would change if I continued on what I'm doing

@wab_ 2 года назад

@jasongriffiths7243 2 года назад

@@wab_ Be patient, I used MyFitnessPal to work out roughly what I needed to eat, I then took the data from my glucose meter and graphed it. That way you know your reaction. Potassium levels seem to be relavent. After 3 months I dropped the my fitness plan as you sort of start to know what to eat. I too had issues with breakfast. I solved it by eating an avocado and a small bit of cheese and maybe 20ml of olive oil. About half an hour later, not hungry. Weight drops off pretty quick, so you need to watch calorie intake. Too much to soon is not good. Basically it’s retrained your system, it takes time, but you are getting a result. Which is way better than the alternative of diabetes or insulin resistance. Very nasty business. I have dead friends who had no feet.

Thank you very much!

@ineedhoez 3 года назад

Do some 74 hour fasts. That will drop it too. Also what your protein. Look up the "insulin load" of food. You can basically determine how much insulin your body needs to process what you eat. If you try to keep that low, you can lower your insulin levels.
