hello dr. Berg here in this video we’re going to  talk about dry burning eyes all right in other  

videos I’ve talked about dry eyes being a vitamin  A deficiency well there’s other causes as well one  

being high amounts of sugar okay like in diabetes  or prediabetes or even insulin resistance now  

if you want to look this up just look up ocular  dryness so what happens in over 50% of diabetics  

is when you get the symptom of dry eyes diabetics  also experience retinopathy so it’s a problem with  

the retina cataracts glaucoma macular edema these  are all issues with the eye so there’s a huge  

connection between high sugar and eye problems you  can also have foreign body sensation which is this  

the feeling with just something in the eye when  there’s nothing in the eye now I had this really  

bad in my late 20s like two years ago I’m just  kidding I’m 52 but the point is that it was so  

bad I flew around the country to try to get help  by all these guru doctors I went to even Bernard  

Jenson I went to a seminar on a weekend I waited  the whole weekend stood in line to ask him what  

is this and I just went like that and I show the  blood-red shot dried eyes and he looked at me he  

said I don’t know but little did I know it was  actually insulin resistance as a pre-diabetic  

situation okay so why why the connection what  happens with high sugar well the glands stop  

in the tear gland stops producing tears number two  you get micro vascular damage that means very very  

small vascular arterial damage to the nerve on the  cornea and then the cornea is on the outer part of  

the eye and it’s innervated by nerves there’s  blood vessels that can keep the nerve alive so  

what happens is high insulin disrupts the blood  flow to the nerve that goes to the cornea and  

that affects the tears it dries up the eye it can  it’s ulcers irritation vision problems you name it  

so that’s really the mechanism make sense now what  do you do about it very simple there’s five things  

now you’ve probably been watching my videos so  you already know I’m going to say but if you have  

never watched my videos you need to watch some of  the videos because it’s really five simple things  

that you need to do number one cut the sugar out  number two moderate amount of protein number three  

seven cups of vegetables before higher amounts  of fat and number five three meals no snacks and  

then down to two meals it’s called intermittent  fasting now I know you’ve heard this over and  

over and over but the more that I researched  insulin resistance the more on finding it’s  

connected to more and more problems so the reason  why I’m emphasizing it is it’s so widespread that  

if you were to focus on that you would get rid of  the majority of your problems alright thanks for
