so this video is mainly for diabetics as  you may know dietary sugar will raise your  

blood sugar right but there’s something else  that can raise your blood sugar in fact it’s  

pretty significant and i haven’t really came  across a lot information on this this one  

point so i wanted to do a video on it but it’s  called gluconeogenesis now what does that mean  

well it’s a big word that basically means your  body is generating new glucose from non-sugar  

or glucose sources non-carbohydrate sources  okay so your body can make new sugar from fat or  

protein okay so your high blood sugar is not just  about your dietary sugar it’s about your body is  

actually making sugar from other things in fact  the amount of sugar in your blood is significantly  

coming from gluconeogenesis and this is because  diabetics have an enhanced gluconeogenesis so your  

liver and your kidneys are just making tons of  sugar raising your blood sugar it’s very important  

to know that our bodies don’t need much sugar okay  there’s only a very few parts of our body that  

is dependent on sugar everything else can  live on other sources of fuel like fatty acid  

and ketones okay but the red blood  cell part of your kidney number three  

t cells part of the immune system and sertoli  cells in your testicles which basically are those  

cells that help make sperm require  glucose but everything else in the body  

can use other types of fuel so we don’t need much  and this also means that our body has the ability  

to make the sugar the bottom line is we don’t need  sugar or carbohydrate from our diet in any way  

other than maybe some dietary fiber which is  considered a carbohydrate but our bodies can’t  

even digest that our microbes digest that and  turn that into various things so the question  

is if you’re diabetic why is your body doing  this why is it making so much sugar well that  

is because insulin is not working in your body  even though there might be high levels of insulin  

in the blood which is rarely ever tested you have  insulin resistance so it’s dysfunctional so really  

insulin is not doing its job because insulin  normally inhibits gluconeogenesis okay  

it actually keeps it in check the real problem  is insulin resistance that is what’s causing  

the high level of sugar in your blood so what  is the solution the solution is to focus on  

fixing insulin resistance if you can  do that your body will make less sugar  

and your blood sugars will start improving now if  you’re new to my channel there’s something called  

the ketogenic diet in intermittent fasting that  you need to know about and i put a link down below  

and there’s a free download you can check it  out and start to get on the program because  

that program will greatly improve insulin  resistance okay that will help you  

greatly but for those people that are on the  ketogenic diet and you had a blood sugar problem  

and you’re seeing improvements and you’re not  eating much carbohydrate but your blood sugars  

are still high well now you know why they’re  high because it’s not the dietary sugar your  

body is making too much simply because you had  insulin resistance and your body is still in  

the process of dealing with that and it does take  time to reverse insulin resistance it could take  

months it could take up to six months to  a year to fully resolve that condition the  

key is to not give up to stay consistent  and to understand what’s really going on  

hey before you go real quick i have  a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course  i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate  

and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put  

a link down in the description right down  below check it out and get signed up today
