A1C is a really good predictor of all sorts of diseases. An A1C test is a test that gives you feedback on your average blood sugars over 2-3 months. It measures glycated hemoglobin. Glucose that has stuck to the protein in red blood cells creates glycated hemoglobin. The quantity of sugar and protein combining together will raise your A1C.
In my opinion, the A1C test is better than a one-time glucose test because it tells you whatâs happening over a period of time. I also believe that high A1C is basically caused by a high-carb diet.
There are many disease processes that can occur when you have high A1C. This is because high sugar can create a lot of oxidation and problems with all sorts of tissues.
But, there are four main tissues that high glucose effects:
1. Combination of the brain and nervous system
2. The kidneys
3. The eyes
4. The arteries
How to help improve A1C:
âą Reduce complications from glycation (take fat-soluble vitamin B1 in the form of benfotiamine)
âą Reduce carbs
âą Reduce frequency of eating (intermittent fasting)

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand A1C.
Your content has changed my life. I was diagnosed prediabetic. With IF and low carb lifestyle, Iâve got my A1C from 6.7 to 4.5. Diabetes wonât be a part of my life. Thank you Dr B
Mine is from 5.8 to 5.3. I am very happy to find out Dr. Bergâs channel.
@@SongbirdRanch2005 I had the same results as you after watching Dr. Berg's videos.
â@@SongbirdRanch2005had a blood test early in October. Mine was 5.3 going to try and do better
Me to My a1c from 9 to 4.5 and 5.3 sometimes
I must have watched about 3000 hours worth of Dr. Bergâs videos since 2017 and canât quantify in words how valuable his content is. He is truly a National Treasure.
Hey, thanks for sticking around!
He is a global treasure.âïžđœâïž
@@rexluminus9867 Agreed. I have family in Senegal that have benefited from his content.
@@rexluminus9867 By including the alien in your comment, I think you meant to say "universal" treasure! đ
@@DashingPartyCrasher Yes indeed. A good observation.âïžđœđđ
Been watching for years. Eating low carb, consuming proper fats and taking B1 has helped me greatly. Last A1c was 5.1 coming down from pre-diabetes level.
Congratulations Becky thatâs awesome. Which B1 Benfotiamine are you taking? Iâm new to this. Thank you for sharing.
@@Momyof2ca I am taking the brand Country Life, 150 mg 2x a day.
Becky, what was your a1c before 5.1? Mines is 5.8. I am on low carbs now and on my next 6 mo visit, I am believing for 5.0 to as low as 4.8. My 5.8 came from snacking too frequently on some high carbs. Cut the snacking and increased the fats. Using the 18 to 20 fasting window.
If most of my teachers at school could have explained the subjects on black board or white board as calm, clear, comprehensive and succinct as Dr. Berg does, I would have become a top scientist. Thanks very much Dr. Berg.
They explained the way they were also taughtđ
Agreed!
Actually, your voice lowers the insulin down.
đ
Lol. New study has come out with Dr Berg's voice lowering insulin levels in people!
Sooo true! That's why i listen to Dr Berg's videos when I go to sleepâșâșâș
And it makes me more insulin sensitive too.
Thank you for this Dr. Berk. I got my A1C results back this week and my Dr. seemed shocked with it being a 4. I told him I've been on keto for 3 months and you could see the dollars fly out of his pockets lol. Now I know why he gave me that look. Thanks again
I told my doctor and she never said anything. who knows she could be on low carb too, keep it to herself.
Woow lol
love it! Makes my heart happy to see people taking control of their health.
@@riseandshine11 Me too!
My A1c was 13 and Finger stick was 500 so I cut out sugar,very low carbs ,18 hours or more fasting and a lot a Exercise. Now my A1c is 5.5
My highest A1C was 13.9! Now with healthy keto and intermittent fasting lifestyle, my A1C is 5.0 and no meds. Still taking Benfotiamine along with my nutritional yeast.
Hello Andrew, what brand of benfotiamine are you taking?
đ
Awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
@Andrew Stanley. Can you please tell what brand of Benfotiamine are you taking?? Is it also called B1 or B-Complex Vitamin ??
I have reduced drastically from A1C 7.3 to 6 and then to 5.5 recently. Have been following Intermittent Fasting (16:8) with minimal carbs and portion control from last 2 years. Lost about 20lbs. Thanks Dr. Berg for all the educational and motivational videos. I understood the root cause and was able get rid of diabetes which I thought was impossible and irreversible

I had to do my own prescription by watching your blogs to get better. Thank you .
i just finished my 60 hours water fasting, feeling so much better đ
Thanks doc , I had an A1c of 6 without any diabetes running in my family . Iâm overweight but not obese . when did more testing I was diagnosed with sleep apnea . Now Iâm into cpap and lost 14 pounds in three months and my a1c test is next week. Fingers crossed đ€
@@andrefecteau thank you , yes I started intermittent, workout 6 days a week, yoga and having only complex carbs . Everything helps in a way . Had sleep apnea for so many tests and even without knowing it. Itâs a bummer
@@julivictoria4501 thank you . Will check it out . Appreciate it
Well done!
@@andrefecteau Absolutely đđ
@@cnvive Have you tried B1 as benfotiamine? Also electrolytes (Dr Berg's electrolytes, ect) as per Dr Berg's videos?
Thanks Dr Berg, for sharing some knowledge. I've been following you & Dr Mindy. My A1C was 9.5 & in June went to get lab work done & 8.4, intermittent fasting & keto. I will be adding B1 to my daily supplement. I'm claiming healing from insulin resistance.
Sorry, didn't mention the mg on the Benfotiamine. If you want to see pretty good results take at least 250 mg four times per day, you can split it up 2, two times per day with meals or with a small amount of fat since this is a fat soluble vitamin.
đ Gracias Dr. Berg! Merci, mulÈumesc, Grazie! Thanks in any language! 250mg four times a day with fat! đ đ« đ
Answered my question thank you
Awesome. Thanks Dr Berg!
I can't seem to find Benfotiamine with anything more than 150mg.... Does anyone have a link to a higher dosage?
I live in Canada if that makes a difference.
@@georgebalzer8219 Swansson and Life Extension have higher values for benfotiamine.
Just wanted to share my success story, all because of your valuable contents.
I'd been recognized as t2d 7 month ago with A1c 7.6. Right after 3 month OMAD besides low carb diest, A1c dropped at 5.7 and lost about 45 lbs.
My A1c was 5.6 last week and still working on it.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg
I've been following Dr. Berg's advice for 4 years. I lost 40 lbs. I also got covid19 and had zero symptoms. My family members, who don't follow him all had bad cough and fevers or lost their sense of smell and taste. Thank you Dr Berg
Did they get their senses back?
@@jmatt98 1 of the 2 did but the other won't listen to me. I sent her dr. Berg's video but i don't think she watched it
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing!
@@fuq1nutube So well done of you to have shared the data. The more we share the truth, the more it will become common knowlege.
This message should be highlighted
Someone close to me suffers from exactly this, and this will help them if they can listen. Whether we like it or not suffering is one of our major teachers, but far easier to listen to teachers like you. Thanks!
Yes we need to propagate A1C and its importance as a marker to all the people around us, who are not in the know. đ
@odys odys "if they can listen"... That right there is the hardest part. Maybe change 'can' to 'will'. Most people CAN listen, they just won't!!
The more we share the truth, the more people will have observed it and share it again until this all becomes common knowlege.

Yea, like Ron said, people are stuck in their own paradigm's. Don't get your hopes up that your loved one will take your advice. Diet is a lot like drugs; You reach rock bottom before you dig yourself out. If your loved one is relatively comfortable now, don't push it too hard, or they will ignore you out of spite, to their own detriment. Eventually, he/she will HAVE to make the change if the problems progress. That will be the time to be supportive and helpful, without any "I told you so" stuff.
Started taking Benfotimine recently... I didn't have any of the specific symptoms discussed but I did get a few stents in 3 different arteries. Diagnosed with type2 with A1C of 7.6. In the last two months I Dropped carbs, dropped 50lbs and got off my Diabetes meds with a daily blood sugar averaging high 80's to 90's... lots of tips and background from the good Doctor have really helped me understand the issues and the potential disease complications...
Wow this is really cool. Thank you so much for sharing.
Have you shared your successes on Dr Berg's website? Or his Facebook group? Many people will greatly benefit from reading them.
Excess blood sugar decreases the elasticity of blood vessels and causes them to narrow, impeding blood flow. This can lead to a reduced supply of blood and oxygen, increasing the risk of high blood pressure and damage to large and small blood vessels. High blood pressure is a risk factor for heart disease.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
I always hear what I need from listening to you. Thank you!
Just had the previous day an eye exam primarily for my "pre- Type 2 diabetes" and the ophthalmologist said that I had wonderfully boring eyes! He showed me the images from that part of the exam, my retinas looked like they came out of a college medical book!

Thank you for educating us on our health
Thanks dear Dr for bringing information into the light in such an easy way to internalize.
I wanna tell you that I think you are just great the way you explain things and basically letting people know about what to do about things in bullet points. I donât have a success story to give you but hereâs the one that I have to share is that listening to things that you say and how you explain them you take away a lot of stress and worry from me. And this I super appreciate.
Thank you kindly for educating people on their health issues.
OMG! Today my benfotamine arrived. this is amazing!
Great video. Thank you. I'll have to get some.

Thank you, thank you, excellent information of the detailed processes of how
sugar can damage our body đđ»
Thank you Dr Berg , I did all this in the past year and I have great results ! Now I am helping other people
Very, very, very enlightening!! If people only knew. I'm sitting here without a blood-sugar meter when I think everyone should own their own meter and know "what's going on" with their blood sugar. I thought that measuring fasting glucose was all you had to do. Not so.
Yes!
I have already shared my success story to you my dear Dr.

My ears have been ringing for a few years, and lately it is louder. I have watched some of your videos and learned I need to get sugars under control.

Very informative video. Thanks a lot.
Awesome, thank you so much!
Good I'll be having an A1C done here in the next 4 to 5 days 2 years ago my ac1 was real good but I added some carbs earlier this year cut them out now I hope I get a good result thank you for your show on ac-1
You're most welcome.
Dr you told you will do video on scalp folliculities and its treatment, please do consider doing it
Excellent. Very helpful. Thanks. God bless.
Thanks!
I always wondered how it worked. Thanks
Hopefully that helps you.
This is so informative I was a nurse for 50 years and have never had this explained so simply and clearly. I find Keto impossible to do as I donât eat animals. I can do intermittent fasting but am addicted to sugar, bread and cakes etc. so Fed up I have hypo thyroid , arthritis and recently diagnosed with Osteopenia. My doctor told me to take loads of calcium but now have been advised that this could affect my coronary arteries. Have lost 7 cm in height and put on 7 kg around my middle. Just canât seem to do anything. Have just had two lots of spinal epidural and nerve root injections forsciatica and havenât been able to walk much. Feel depressed and hopeless. Just canât do the keto.
Thank you so much Dr Berg.
You are very welcome!
Thank you Dr. I went to the doctor Sept 19,2023. They told me my A1C is 9, Yeah yeah i know that's way way too high. I am working on getting it low to a 4 or 5. I am getting a better understanding from your video. My doctor only spends 15 mins with me. She seemed to have a time limit in her appointments. Your A1C/blood sugars chart is helping me now. I appreciate you posting this video. You have a blessed Day Sir.
Good content. As I told my doctor yesterday; I like to understand how things work in the body. I had switched doctors two months ago. (My previous doc showed no interest in helping me improve.) In just two months, I have dropped my A1C from 7.6 to 5.9. Much of it has to do with diligence and discipline in what and how much I am eating. I have lost 9 pounds and two inches off my waist. I am sleeping better. I am not sluggish. Regarding the B1; I am using a Vitamin spray that delivers B1, B6 and B12 under my tongue. BTW, yesterday my doctor took me off two meds, Amaryl (diabetes) and lisinopril (high BP). I go back for another A1C check in two months. He said at the end of our visit that "I made his day".
Namaste doctor. Intermittent fasting has really helped me. I had chronic depression. I feel much better now. Thank you doctor.
Thank you, Dr Berg.

Thank you. DR BERG...I GO BY WHATEVER YOU SAY ..THANK YOU SO MUCHđ...always looking for whatever info I can get on AIC.. right now I'm 7 .9.,being diabetic is not very nice.đ. trying everything and anything to control my sugar.
From high carb diet to KETO! An almost immediate shift. My. Waistline shrunk! Trying to catch up on your very helpful vitamin recommendations!
Hello - You advise is excellent. ~ 5 years ago uring cataract surgery, following over-night fasting, she tested my my glucose at 385 mg/dl!
~ A couple months ago, I started intermittent fasting, cut out bread & pasta :( . My most recent A1c was 58 mg/dl an I've lost midsection fat.
I eat culmiferous vegetables, assorted nuts & peanuts, eggs & avocadoes primarily with 1
slim-fast minlk shake (11 oz) split between breakfast & late afternoon lunch...no formal dinner but often a small snack avoiding sugar & carbohydrates. Less carbs / sugars seems to increase mental clarity ( I'm 69 1/2 years old / 6 ft. 1inch tall / 153 lbs.

I started taking the ancestor beef product and do intermittent fasting and cut carbs and sugar ...so what would you suggest thank you đ
Thank you, please

I don't know how Dr. Berg does it but its like if you think on a particular issue recently somehow he realizes it and releases a video exactly about that issue. As far as I'm concerned by sheer volume of lives bettered and videos I've watched Dr. Berg has to be the most impactful person on CZcams for wellness I've yet witnessed.
While not on the pre-diabetic range, i decided to try the benfotamine, cuz of odd sensations in feet. In a short time (week or so)the sensations went away. Definitely due to your help. Thank you.
Wow super! Thank you so much for sharing!
Dr.Berg I am been watching for 5 or 6 months now, and you have become my favourite doctor on cholesterol ,like why are eggs good even if they increase cholesterol, now my blood sugar levels are 84 and yet the lan test says that I have a a1 c of 6.4, why is it so , I shall be glad of you clear my this doubt.
Useful information. My A1c was 5.8 five months ago and couldnât read text on my cell phone. Low carb helped me to drop A1c to 5.4 in four months and I can read well now.
Totally amazing. Thank you so much for sharing đđđ
Is 5.8 a1c diabetic?
@@karinatree1513 Yes. This is called pre diabetes but the good news is that itâs reversible.

Iâd love to hear your view on the A1C value being relevant to pre-condition patients who, post vaccination or infection, seem to have had their conditions âbrought forwardâ in time. Iâm thinking kidneys, heart, lungs and brain diagnoses for exampleâŠ
Hi. I am so happy for all you share with us. Unfortunately in my country there is no fat soluble b vitamin.Since I am on keto diet for years and eat a lot of fat,what do You think about combinig water soluble b hcl 100 mg with nutritional yeast? What that be even close? Since I have severe peripheral neuropathy caused by nerve damage near L5 s1? I also take alpha lypoic? Thanks
2021 and 2022 I was hitting an A1c of 6. April of 2022. I drastically changed my diet. The last 3 tests have been 5.1 5.1 and 5 last week.

I read your book & switched from Weight watchers to Keto April 1st this year. My weight loss had stalled out on WW as I was still consuming some sugar & carbs. Now I'm doing ACV with intermittent fasting. . Eat only cruciferous vegetables & zero sugar. I've only lost about 10lbs since then, but I've dropped 4 pant sizes & feel great. It took me a long time to get here, but I feel like i'm on the right path now. Thanks.
Wow amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!
@Natural Solutions Chicken breast, lean beef in moderation & fish. Nothing from a can. Nothing processed. Nothing with carbs. Nothing with sugar.
Hi Dr Berg, may I ask you can i put honey inside apple cider vinegar? And if my mom have diabetes can she drink ACV with honey? It will be great if you have how to choosĂš honey for keto, diabetes and other sickness. Thanks.
My blood work showed my A1C dropped from 5.8 to 5.3 after I did IF and KETO. All thanks to Dr. Berg! Many thanks!
The ad just before the video started out âdo you know what sucks about the Keto diet?â Haha⊠how ironic đđ
My recent A1C was 5.3%. And that was just from doing daily neighborhood walks and eating low carb (not strict keto). I'm sure it would go down even more if I cleaned up my diet a little more.
