hey guys dr. Berg here in this short video  we’re going to talk about the biggest indicator  

for pre-diabetes right so in a pre-diabetic State  you have either hypoglycemia or you have insulin  

resistance okay and then it turns into diabetes  but the biggest indicator or clue to know that  

you have this is not being satisfied after you eat  so you have a meal and you’re not full you either  

keep eating or you need a little bit of something  sweet okay and that is because in a cell that has  

instant resistance the fuel is blocked it’s  not allowed to go into the cell so the cell  

is starving of fuel and certain nutrients okay and  a normal cell it goes right in easily but insulin  

resistance that cell starves and then it sends a  signal back to the pancreas telling the pancreas  

to produce more insulin so this situation has a  situation when you have five to seven times more  

insulin now here’s the thing it takes ten years  in some people of having this condition before you  

become a diabetic and so you when you go get your  blood tested it might show normal for many many  

years until even develops a situation like that so  the best test would be more of an a1c which is an  

average of blood sugars for three months or even  better yet a fasting insulin test not a glucose  

test but even then it’s going to have to be pretty  advanced before even that shows up so you can even  

check your insulin levels or a1c and it could  be low but you could still have the situation  

because it’s not advanced yet so this is kind of  like a subclinical because it doesn’t start you  

don’t get diabetes overnight it’s gradual slowly  it gets worse and worse until finally you have it  

but it could take ten years on this so what you  need to realize is that the cells are starving a  

bit and you’re not and it takes a while for it  to be absorbed so instead of adding more sweet  

or more food you should add a different type  of food which is more fat because fat will not  

dramatically increase insulin okay so it kind of  almost like a neutral situation so adding more fat  

will make you feel satisfied giving you the need  to not be hungry and not eat the wrong foods and  

then over time you’ll heal the situations because  we want to have a period of time between meals  

where you’re not snacking so we can heal this and  we can’t just keep eating all the time so number  

one if you have if you’re not satisfied after a  meal just realize what’s happening add a little  

more fat with the meals and give it some time  sometimes it takes between one to two weeks of  

doing this before you start absorbing the fuel  and being satisfied so don’t think it’s going  

to happen overnight okay all right so put your  comments below and I’ll see in the next video
