hey it’s me again in this video we’re

gonna talk about a special situation

with diabetes type 1 okay and potassium

there’s a kind of a rare situation in

which your potassium levels in your

blood go too high with diabetes type 1

and we’ll explain how that works

insulin controls potassium in the cell

so if you have more insulin there’ll be

more potassium goes in the cell now if

you have insulin resistance it’s not

going to go in the cell because it’s

blocked okay

but normally insulin drives potassium in

the cell where it should be stored 98

percent of all your potassium in your

body is inside the cell not outside the

cell or even in your blood you only have

2 percent in your blood so in diabetes

type 1 where you don’t have enough

insulin okay because you have to inject

yourself that means that you can’t drive

the potassium in the cell anymore so

inside the cell you’re going to have

very low amounts of intracellular

potassium and I’m gonna put a link down

below which I highly recommend if you’re

type 1 to get this test it’s an

intracellular potassium test and it

checks all the minerals but I think

that’s very important because if you go

to the doctor and you get your blood

tested and it’s high that doesn’t

necessarily mean it’s high in the cell

okay

it means it’s high in the blood why

because you don’t have enough insulin to

drive it in the cell so we have the

situation where this cell is starving of

potassium but it’s all just loaded up in

the blood it’s called hyper too much

Colima or potassium it’s rare only 1% of

the people in the hospital have it more

commonly it’s hypo kelly me a low

potassium but it’s very rare and ick but

it can happen especially if you’re

taking massive quantities of potassium

in your type 1 and your your body’s just

it’s just not working it’s not able to

drive it in the cell I mean the symptoms

are palpitations muscle pain muscle

weakness numbness I highly it’s highly

unlikely that you’re going to get this

condition from consuming vegetables okay

even if you had seven to ten cups of

vegetables a day it’s usually if you’re

doing massive maths of like five

thousand ten thousand milligrams of

potassium

so I just wanted to bring your awareness

up that if you’re at a diabetic type one

potentially your potassium could rise

and you could have a problem especially

if you’re trying to increase it and then

you should just know that that’s the

function of insulin is to drive

potassium cell but because you don’t

have enough it’s not going in the cell

creating a situation ok so again I think

the most important thing to do is if you

have any of these symptoms and if you’re

concerned about it get a blood test see

if it is high it might not be but

definitely also get an intracellular

test to measure how much potassium and

other minerals are inside the cell

because that’s that’ll give you more

data alright thanks for watching hey I

just wanted to take a moment to thank

you personally there’s so many of you

that have gotten this book and the

feedback that you’re giving me is

mind-blowing thank you so much I really

appreciate it and if you wouldn’t mind I

have one quick favor to put your

unbiased review on Amazon I would really

appreciate it thank you so much
