so I had a question from someone that

wanted a now is hypoglycemia the

opposite of diabetes okay because

diabetes is hyperglycemia hyper meaning

it’s too much of something hypo meaning

low okay so let’s just take a look at

this hypoglycemia is not the opposite of

hyperglycemia it’s the precursor it’s

the thing that’s going to turn into

diabetes sooner or later because look at

this let’s say you eat some carbs okay

you have insulin it is triggered from

that the purpose of insulin to push the

blood sugars down if you have weak

adrenals or your livers not working for

some reason let’s see of a fatty liver

or whatever then you don’t have the

counter hormones okay and then what

happens is that it can drop to low and

you’ll experience the symptoms like

feeling faint craving carbs nauseated

irritable things like that dizzy so

that’s basically hypoglycemia you end up

with a high and then a low because the

power of insulin pushes the sugars down

to low it’s like a reactive thing okay

now what happens in hyperglycemia our

diabetes is you have insulin resistance

okay so you still have the spike of

insulin over a period of time the body

is adapting to it so it’s basically

blocking the insulin from working in

certain places in the body see right

here it’s working too much so now your

body creates resistance and now it

doesn’t work at all so now there’s

there’s really nothing to push the sugar

down so it stays high okay so then you

have to take medications like glucophage

or metformin the same thing to actually

open this up and eventually someone

takes more insulin to push it down which

that’s a whole different video but the

point is that the difference here is

that this is actually a pre-diabetic

State and when you get to this level you

just have a lot more insulin resistance

insulin resistance is just starting at

this level it gets worse worse worse

and that eventually you end up a

diabetic and the problem is that what

mainstream is teaching you to do we’re

telling you to eat is the thing that’s

gonna propel this over here they’re

telling you to eat frequent meals snacks

between meals okay

well every time you eat you spike

insulin we already have a problem with

too much insulin okay that’s why you’re

getting insulin resistance because your

body’s like it’s too much let’s resist

it okay so what do you do if you have

hypoglycemia you basically start doing

in a minute fasting you start reducing

the carbohydrates because that is the

thing that’s raising this so for those

of you that are new to my channel and

you want to know what to eat I put a

link down below check it out alright

guys I’ll talk to later all right

diabetes is called hyperglycemia
