the secret to diabetes is hidden in the  definition now if you have diabetes and  

you do your own research you’re going  to be completely and utterly confused  

because if you look up the definition of diabetes  it will say that it’s hyperglycemia which is high  

blood sugar which is affecting the large vessels  especially in the heart this can affect the tiny  

blood vessels of the eye and the kidney and also  it’s going to affect your nerves as in creating  

damage in the peripheral nerves the nerves at  the bottom of the feet and the hands so your  

fingers will get numb and pain and sometimes a  burning sensation now if we look at the causation  

of insulin it will talk about a lack of insulin or  a decrease in insulin since insulin is the hormone  

that controls the blood sugars so if we don’t have  the hormonal controls of the lowering blood sugar  

and that’s not there blood sugar starts  going higher and higher and you’re diabetic  

now take a look at what controls insulin the  pancreas so the pancreas through its beta cells  

make insulin the insulin goes through the blood it  connects to certain receptors to create a function  

of lowering the blood sugar and so what’s going  to cause a lack of insulin is either the lack of  

production of insulin or on the other side here  a blocked receptor so the receptor for insulin  

becomes resistive as in insulin resistance okay  so either we have insulin resistance or we have  

a pancreas that’s not able to produce insulin but  in guyana’s physiology and other medical textbooks  

you see this little clue here as the first  thing that happens when you start to have  

diabetes is you have what’s called compensatory  hyperinsulinemia now what is that that means  

that when the cells start resisting insulin  the pancreas will compensate by making more  

insulin so we still have the function of lowering  blood sugar to a certain degree and so we have  

insulin resistance so the pancreas is going to  compensate by making more insulin okay so that’s  

it’s compensating okay and then what happens after  a period of time the second thing that happens is  

you no longer are able to compensate because the  beta cells are now dysfunctional they’re exhausted  

they’re overwhelmed and they stop working  and so when this starts to go down  

the blood sugars start to go higher and higher and  higher so the real big question to figure this out  

is what’s causing the initial hyper  insulin situation what is causing this  

increase in insulin well for that we have  to look up hyperinsulinemia which is very  

interesting because if we look at wikipedia and  what causes high insulin it says neoplasm which  

is a tumor carb malabsorption okay pancreatic  cancer pcos polycystic ovarian syndrome  

and trans fats it also goes on to say results from  a variety of diseases we’re talking about these  

as well as sugar in the diet now that’s like  red at the very very end and there’s no real  

emphasis of this and it’s really nowhere else  in this whole page and so if you’re new at this  

and you’re just reading this and you don’t know  the massive connection between consuming sugar  

and diabetes you might focus more on these  things right here wow maybe i have cancer  

maybe i have pcos and focus on something that is  so rare that you’re going to miss this right here  

i mean if you knew to grab maybe a physiology book  like guys physiology and look up insulin but you  

probably never do that but if you did you’d find  all sorts of information on what triggers insulin  

the big one is carbohydrates so in order to  control this you must lower the carbs in the diet  

but you might be confused if you read this book  right here merck’s manual under the chapter of  

diabetes because it’s talking about the diet for  diabetes it says this diet composition there is no  

need to disproportionately restrict the intake of  carbohydrates in the diet of most diabetics what  

that is absolutely bad advice because what they’re  going to recommend is you just manage it with  

metformin and if you consume more carbohydrates  just increase your medication to adjust for that  

now there’s some other additional things on  this page that were very interesting to me  

they’re talking about mice studies they mentioned  that a high fat diet has a causative role  

in hyperinsulinemia now if you’re an average  person you’re reading this you’re going to go  

wow i need to start cutting my fat out of my diet  and the problem with even reading the study is  

you’re not going to even find the complete study  you’re going to have to buy the study online  

so if you were to buy the study online and  download it and then find out what they actually  

fed the mice what do they consider a high-fat diet  which i’ve actually done this i’ve ordered a study  

and i’ve researched what they feed these  mice you’re going to find that this is  

not just a high-fat diet this is a high fat  slash high carbohydrate diet now we have a  

little piece of omitted information that could be  devastating if you’re operating off of this false  

information because if you combine carbs with fat  or carbs with protein versus just consuming carbs  

alone you’re going to have a much greater impact  or spike in insulin when you combine a high fat  

and high carb diet so no wonder this high fat diet  is a causative factor in creating high levels of  

insulin okay so then you get down to the bottom  of the page and it talks about the treatment  

diet exercise metformin they also mention  consuming cinnamon like in cinnamon and sugar  

on your toast right and so when you look further  on the page specifically this what they’re talking  

about with this diet you’re talking about lowering  simple carbohydrates okay not actually eliminating  

simple carbohydrates like sugar but lowering  them and replacing them with whole grains  

okay now they didn’t even mention consuming  vegetables they’re talking about adding grains  

if you have too much insulin it’s the  carbohydrates that increase insulin more than  

anything else and whole grains are carbohydrates  in the next sentence they say reduce potatoes  

so they don’t tell you to eliminate potatoes  just reduce them again a potato is a carbohydrate  

why are you even talking about a potato you should  be eliminating all carbs or at least bringing  

them down significantly and then they actually  add a sentence in there that says you need to  

increase your legumes especially soy they didn’t  mention anything about any other beans or anything  

they just made a point about consuming soy  so i looked up to study and what they were  

talking about and of course this study was a  questionnaire study very very scientific right  

where there’s a million variables you have  people that smoke you have people that eat a  

random thing and how are you going to isolate that  it was the soy that reduced the insulin levels in  

your blood you can’t so obviously this was put  in here with some slight bias as well as this  

one right here and so this is why i do videos to  help put attention on the important stuff so you  

don’t have to get lost in the sea of confusion  in the area of health thanks for watching  

before you go if you have a question about a  product or you’re new to keto and you want to  

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  

i have a keto consultant standing  by to help you this is just for the  

people in the u.s hopefully in the future  we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
