Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

So, I wanted to create this short video to talk about

at what blood sugar level does a person start to notice organ damage?

Because it's important, especially if you are a diabetic or you're pre-diabetic

or you have insulin resistance.

And by the way, I would say that at least 70% of the population has insulin resistance

and they're headed to diabetes.

So, this is a very important topic.

Now, the ADA, American Diabetes Association, the experts in diabetes,

say that your A1C, which is an average blood sugar of three months,

should be below 7.4.

Now, if we convert this to blood sugars, that's a blood sugar of 166.

Okay, that is way, way too high because the damage starts to occur when it gets over 100.

Now, one study, which I'll put a link down below, indicated that fasting blood glucose levels

at between 110 and 125 already created a loss of 40% of the beta cells of the pancreas.

The beta cells are the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

The more the beta cell becomes destroyed, the less insulin you have, the higher the blood sugar,

the more you have glucose toxicity and the more damage you're going to experience.

Now, the ideal scene for an A1C would be less than 5%, okay?

It's 5%, not 7.4, it's way too high.
