let’s talk about how long it takes a diabetic to potentially

go blind diabetic related retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness

one out of every four diabetics develop this condition

and they’re on their way to go blind but that’s not the only thing that happens

the feet go numb you get chronic systemic infections the

kidneys go bad the heart goes bad and you lose brain

function if you’re a diabetic new to my channel you’re going to be very happy

that you’re watching this video because this is going to really help you if you

understand this simple concept high levels of blood

glucose cause bleeding of the tiny capillaries

in your eyes right around the retina the retina

is the extension of your brain it’s the thing that you use to see

it’s a nerve tissue and it’s fed with capillaries

and high sugar destroys the blood flow to the nerve

but not just the nerve the feet the kidneys the heart and the brain

and then what happens in the eye is you get all sorts of collateral blood

vessels that the body is trying to drive blood

flow to an oxygen but what eventually happens is the

retina dies simply because of lack of nutrients

in oxygen and this is completely unnecessary

and can be easily avoided the longer the exposure of glucose on the eye

tissue will determine the complications ten years of chronically high blood

sugars start developing complications of

diabetes and in the next 10 years things get

worse and worse and worse so if you’re testing your blood sugars

with an a1c test that would mean that it’s

over eight and i have a little story i want to tell you about i

i was in practice for 29 years and i saw a lot of diabetics come in for

all sorts of neuropathies and pain syndromes

and i remember working on this lady and her husband kept coming in with her

and he had diabetes and it just he was taking medication and trying to

keep it controlled but it was always on the high side and i

kept talking to him and his wife kept begging him

to change his diet and he didn’t his awareness wasn’t there so anyway

one day he came in with his wife with those little canes with glasses he

actually went blind so i’ve seen it happen myself and it’s

just it’s sad completely unnecessary let’s say for example you

were diagnosed last year with diabetes you might

be thinking oh i have nine more years to go before i start getting

complications what you have to realize is this

high blood sugar situation has been hidden for

many years before you were diagnosed probably

20 maybe even 30 years in other words it takes a very long time

of having insulin resistance before the cells of the pancreas the beta cell

starts losing its function to the point where

you don’t have enough insulin and now this mechanism right here is no longer

working and then if the insulin goes down now

the blood sugars go up you may already be experiencing

other complications like fatigue especially after you eat

lunch or maybe you have to get up several times a night

or you’re constantly thirsty or you’re constantly peeing

or you have skin tags or you have poor circulation there’s many other

complications there’s some things that are really

really important and things that are not very important the most important

thing is to bring your carbs way down your

diet okay if you’re new to my channel and you

don’t know about the keto plan and you don’t know about imminent

fasting i put a very important link to watch and learn and apply this

because if this is not too bad yet you could potentially reverse some of

this just with your diet alone in the meantime there’s a very important

nutrient that you can get i don’t sell it you can get it from any

health restore or online it’s called benfotamine i’ll put

the spelling down in the description but it’s called benfotamine

and you’d want to take four of those capsules

per day what that nutrient can help you do

is immediately reduce the complications because it

helps to counter some of the free radical damage that’s destroying the

capillaries but of course that’s not going to work

long term unless you reduce your carbs and start doing

fasting so check out the link down below and learn more about it

hey we’re back with another amazing recipe no grains

no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering in keto

absolutely not karen and it’s an immune system builder

absolutely you have to check this out i think you should hurry up watch the

recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy
