i want to give you some data on a1c it’s a really  good predictor of all sorts of diseases so what is  

a1c it’s simply a test that gives you feedback on  your average blood sugars for two to three months  

in this measurement is something called glycated  hemoglobin now what is glycadamine and what does  

hemoglobin mean hemoglobin is the protein in red  blood cells glycated or glycation is basically  

glucose sticking to the protein so  when you expose this hemoglobin protein  

to too much glucose it becomes glycated and so the  quantity of sugar and protein combining together  

will raise your a1c so for example if you have an  a1c of 4 your blood sugars are roughly about 68.  

if you have an a1c of 5 it’s about 97 but  typically if it’s lower fives it could be like in  

the 80s so higher fives like 5.8 5.9 would be like  98. then you get 6 which is the blood sugar of 126  

and if you get 7 you have a blood sugar of roughly  about 152 and if it’s an 8 it’s 183 and it keeps  

going higher and higher and higher so a1c is a  really good test to tell you what your average  

blood sugars are it’s much better than a one-time  glucose test because it tells you what’s happening  

over a period of time and so if you’re doing  really good through the week yet on the weekends  

you go off your plan you eat a lot of sugar you’re  not going to probably have good a1c and so high  

a1c really is high carbohydrate diet now there  are many disease processes that occur when you  

have high a1c because the high sugar starts to  create a lot of oxidation in problems with all  

sorts of tissues but there are four main tissues  that high glucose affects one is the combination  

of your brain and nervous system and so we have  brain dysfunction and that can be anything from  

alzheimer’s to parkinson’s to dementia there’s  a whole series of descriptive problems with  

brain dysfunction then you have nerve issues  you have peripheral neuropathies which occur  

in the lower extremities like your feet and  the bottom of your feet become numb painful  

burning same thing with your fingertips right so  what’s happening you’re getting oxidation in a  

circulatory system which is going to the nervous  system and it’s starving off the tiny nerves  

on the very end part it’s called the peripheral  nerves but there’s many other issues you can  

have you can have autonomic neuropathy which the  autonomic nervous system is becoming dysfunctional  

and that can affect your digestion your sleep  cycles then we have the eye retinopathy the retina  

is the extension of the brain it’s nervous tissue  and that becomes majorly damaged when you expose  

it with a lot of glucose but when you have high  glucose you also have cataracts you have glaucoma  

you have many different issues with the lens of  the eye and one big side effect from diabetes is  

you go blind then you’re going to have problems  with the arteries the vessels the coronary artery  

it’s called endothelial dysfunction and so you  expose the inside of your artery with glucose  

you basically rust out the inside then you have  inflammatory processes you get a clot you get  

plaquing you can get a stroke or a heart attack  so your brain and nervous system the eye the  

artery and the kidney okay those are the four main  tissues and with the kidney the same thing happens  

if you expose the kidney with too much sugar you  damage that inside filter because the kidney is a  

filter and so you then start leaking out all sorts  of things so you have different stages of kidney  

disease now there’s a couple things i want to  mention as far as solving a1c yes you need to  

cut your carbs down for sure and yes you need  to reduce the frequency of eating that’s called  

intermittent fasting both of those actions are  going to greatly improve your a1c very very  

rapidly but there’s something else you can do for  the complications of all these diseases in other  

words there’s something you can do to reduce the  symptoms of exposing glucose to these tissues you  

can take b1 but you would want to take it in the  form of a fat soluble vitamin called benfotamine  

you see what happens is this high level of glucose  depletes vitamin b1 which is essential for the  

metabolism and breakdown of the sugar and so as  you have high levels of sugar you deplete your b1  

and you get a lot of complications including more  glycation more oxidants more free radical damage  

so if you’re a diabetic if you’re a pre-diabetic  i would highly recommend in addition to reducing  

your carbs and doing intermittent fasting also  take some ben photome i would take probably four  

per day four pills per day and you’re going to see  amazing results with your symptoms you may even  

still be a diabetic but you’ll have a lot less  symptoms you’re going to notice your vision  

is going to be better less complications with  peripheral neuropathy less issues with your kidney  

better focus and better cardiovascular function  now if you haven’t seen my other videos on v1 and  

benfotamine i put a link down below check it out  hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of  

my content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
