My mother was a 5th grade teacher and she noticed that one of her students had to be excused a lot to urinate and get a drink of water. She was concerned for him and sent a note home to his parents concerning this. Well, at first the father resented the note but later on came to see my mother in her classroom. He wanted to personally thank her for her for bringing this to their attention.The boy was taken for a checkup and was found to have diabetes.
When I was 16 a junior in high school, it was really hard to concentrate because all I could think about was finding something to drink and going to the bathroom. I also dropped down to 110 pounds, I was really underweight. I ended up in the ER and after being accused of using drugs, LOL. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I was in the ICU for a couple of days and spent a week after that in the hospital. Thank you for posting this because it is so true, better to get it early than when they have gone into keto acidosis like me.
He is so right. My son started out with flu. And wasn't getting better after 2 weeks and 4 doctor visits. When he started the bedwetting I knew something was terribly wrong. I took him back to pediatrics doctor. Explain to her what was continuing to go on. She ran some test. She ran back into room and had me transport my son to Children's Hospital. His BG was over 600 and ketones levels over 2000. My son almost died if I wouldn't have been persistent about something was wrong with him. He was in hospital for like 6 days and this road has been tough. Dealing with low and high BGs. I pray that a cure is found for T1D soon. It is soooo expensive and stressful. For any parent who child become a Type 1 Diabetic.The CGM and insulin pump would be your best friend.
Here's the list of the 11 signs and the recommended tests. See the time stamps for the approx. video time to get more info: 1. Increased urination 1:30 2. Increased thirst 2:00 3. Increased hunger without growth 2:35 4. Changes in mood and irritability 3:00 5. Blurred vision 3:30 6. Increased fatigue 4:05 7. Weight loss or lack of weight gain 4:45 8. Bed wetting or regression to thumb sucking, soiling their pants etc 5:15 9. Fruity smell on breath 6:05 10. Repetitive infections 6:45 11. Dark patches of skin on the neck or armpits 7:20 Tests to get done to see if your child has diabetes: 8:35 Urine analysis, a complete blood count, a complete metabolic panel, a hemoglobin A1C, and a C-Peptide check.
Why, WHY do they take your temperature, weigh you and check your blood pressure at every doctor visit but don't do a finger-stick A1c check or even a blood glucose check? This would have saved me from A LOT of torment and complications when I was diagnosed.
Thank you for all your videos! They have really helped all of us at home. I have two teenage boys and my husband and i have completely changed our eating habits. We've lost collectively 75+ pounds in the past 4 months. You are literally a life saver. Thank you for all the good you do! Much love from East Texas! Be blessed 😍
11 Warning Signs: 1. Increased urination (hourly or more often) 2. Increased thirst (ravenous thirst) 3. Increased hunger (not growth spurt hunger) 4. Mood changes (irritable/sad, cry easily ) 5. Blurred vision 6. Fatigue (sleepy/don’t want to play) 7. Weight-loss or lack of weight-gain (thin even though eating a lot) 8. Bed-wetting after potty trained - regression 9. Fruity smell on breath after eating a few hours. Could be in Keto acidosis. (Acetone smell on breath) 10. Repetitive infections (ear or yeast or sinus, cuts don’t heal etc) 11. Dark patches on skin in armpits or on neck (indication of insulin resistance, pre-diabetic) If your child has multiple symptoms stated above see a doctor.
One of those rare channels that receive a thumbs up even before I've seen the video, always a commonsense and insightful content delivered in a conscise manner. Gj Dr Berry.
I’m an interpreter. I learn medical terminology from this channel a lot. The explanations combined with text and pictures are very professional, clear, and easy to understand. Thank you very much!
I’m suscriber to this channel about 2 years now and I consider it as mainly sources of my medical information like some journals of medicine for masses! It’s has very good diversities on medical issues! Thank you doc!
My son was 13 years old he was drinking 4,5 liters water daily for months and i thougt it is good if he is drinking a lot but then he couldn't lift his head after wake up and then i realise there is some wrong and then upon check-up by doctor informed he is diabetes.
My son was diagnosed at 7 with type 1 diabetes. I noticed he was getting up at night to go to the bathroom. He also complained about his heart hurting, which I never understood until later. We caught it early enough so his blood sugar wasn’t as high as others. He went in the hospital for a week and came home a completely different kid. He is now 21yrs old and he doesn’t remember life before diabetes
Our nine year old daughter is experiencing frequent nausea, slight weight loss and slight loss of appetite. She is going to have an ultrasound done and eventually blood work. She got very sick with the flu last winter and vomited several times. It scared her so bad that she doesn’t wanna eat much anymore. I hope she’s ok. We’re so worried about her.
In one study, researchers divided pregnant women into several groups and review the women’s vitamin D intake. Several years later, the children born to the women who supplemented with vitamin D had fewer cases of Type 1 diabetes.3 In a follow-up study, children them-selves were given 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily starting at age 1. The researchers found that the children’s risk of Type 1 diabetes dropped by 80 percent.
Dr Ken Berry and "what ive learned" are my gateway channel to the ketogenic way of eating. Lost almost 8kg , lost the belly(I wasnt obese , a bit overweight , only a bit of a belly) and im getting fitter anf fitter. eating without calorie restriction, happy to eat.
Thank you for making this video. More pediatricians should discuss this information with their patient’s parents. In 2004 I took my nearly four year old son to his pediatrician for a checkup. His doctor checked for diabetes and the usual blood checks. The results came back that his health was fine. As it turned out my son was not alright. He started eating and drinking everything in sight. He started really wetting the bed. He would urinate so much that even the quilt would be soaked. I had no idea that these were the symptoms of diabetes. I called his pediatrician and he thought my son just had a virus. He said not to worry because Ben was drinking and keeping hydrated. Then 2 days later on Ben’s 4th birthday I found him unconscious in his bed. My husband and I rushed him to the ER. We were shocked to learn that he had Type 1 diabetes. His blood sugar was 1380. It’s a miracle that he is alive today.
Thanks for sharing this info! My son was diagnosed with t1d at age 4, and spent 2 days in the ICU with DKA. It was terrible. I now check my younger son's blood sugar whenever he seem sick or out of sorts. If he also develops diabetes, he won't have to get severely sick before getting treatment. There are also lab tests for diabetes antibodies.
Katie Williams , since your son has T1D, I highly encourage you to read the book "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution" by Dr. Richard Bernstein, MD. He was diagnosed with T1D in about 1947 when he was about 12-years-old. He followed the American Diabetes Association's eating instructions for 20 years and got metabolic syndrome diseases because that. Then over a period of 12 months, he used his engineering degree and a blood glucose meter to figure out how to stabilize his blood glucose and was able to reverse all but 3 metabolic syndrome disease symptoms. He couldn't reverse those 3 because the damage had gone on too long. Then, Bernstein went to med school and became an MD. Dr. Bernstein specializes in T1D and T2D, and he is still practicing in his 80s. He tells his patients to eat no more than 30 grams of carbs per day. His book tells the details of how to do it.
Great information. My grandson has Type I diabetes, not long after that diagnosis, he found out he has Celiac, too. A lot, for everyone to learn about, and implement safe practices. I find your information to be very helpful, thank you.
I've been doing KETO for 1.5 years, I am diabetic but don't need medication to control my blood glucose since eating keto, but I still have the never ending thirst and drink 1 to 2 gallons of water and have to urinate every hour, wake up 3-4 times at night. It is the only thing I wish I could fix.
My mum had a friend at primary school who confided in her that she was always sooo thirsty all of a sudden. She died of a sudden diabetic coma that night in a time when jam roly poly was the standard pudding in the school canteen. So sad. It’s no different now (worse), that was the UK in the fifties.
Thank you for all you do. Love your videos. Your videos in the information you are spreading, combined with your unique personality, are a breath of fresh air in a sea of medical dogma
Always very good information Dr Ken Berry! I am a medicine student from Brazil and really like the evidence-based medicine. For the last past month I've been following you, so I would like to ask you please to talk about more of the Carnivore Diet for us!
1. Frequent urination 2. Increased thirst 3. Increased hunger (ravenous, unquenchable hunger, but not gaining weight or growing 4. Changes in mood or irritability. Sad, excessive crying. 5. Blurred vision (young children might express this as a headache) 6. Fatigue: restlessness, just want to lay around when normally they’re up and active 7. Lack of weight gain , losing weight 8. Bed wetting / regression 9. Fruity smell on their breath, or rancid fruity smell or acetone smell 10. Repetitive infections, ear infection , cuts that take long to heal. 11. Dark patches of skin (neck or armpit)
I shared this on FB! We get to keep our 3 granddaughters, age 5 & under, every other weekend & we feed them good food. At home, well... I watch them pretty close. The 5yo loves carbs & wants to eat way more frequently than she should. Part is my daughter's schedule for feeding them (2 breakfasts & 2 lunches, one smaller like a snack, the other is more of a meal). I needed these indicators! Thanks so much @KenDBerry!!
Please stop and pray for all these people who have type I diabetes. Their lives are forever changed. And these children can grow up to be very sensitive people. I truly believe in a good, conscious way. Dear Lord, please help these researchers find a cure and find a cure soon. Our children need hope and support. And so do when they become adults. Jean.
Two days back i noticed that my 2 year old son feels thristy time and again even during night. I checked his blood sugar at random and it came out to be 147. Next morning his blood sugar fasting was 132. What to do? If he is diabetic? Can diabetes at this tender age be reversed?
Dr. Berry I saw you do that post here on CZcams where you talked about the big food companies not being concerned about People's Health and just cranking out food factory Style. Since you're being so open against the industry I think you should coordinate with Frank tufano if you haven't already he also speaks truth to power
What about chronic hunger? My 4 year old grandson wants to eat 24/7. Constantly asking for snacks. Doesn’t care for nutritional food. His idea of a good meal is popcorn, Cheetos, cotton candy and pizza. He is solid and heavier than a 7 year old.
My 14yr old daughter recently has lost her appetite & when she does eat she gets either sick to her stomach or throws up..can you point me into a direction?
Has she recently started birth control as therapy for better cycles? Has she had thyroid and other hormones checked? Is there sudden onset of stress or some major change like a divorce, death, new school, etc? Too many variables for a definitive answer but cleaning up the diet is never a bad place to start. Best wishes!
We just went to her doctor but all she said was she needed to eat spite her loss of appetite can you believe that? Time to look for another pediatrician
@@rmbrown198623 that's terrible! I'm so sorry you had that experience but good for you taking the initiative to seek appropriate guidance for your family's health! Perhaps the new doctor will be more willing to dig deeper to discover what is going on with your daughter and work with you to optimize her health
Keeping sugars, grains, soft drinks & fruit juices to a minimum will decrease the odds of your child developing T2D. As a mom, getting at least 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 during pregnancy and 6.400 IU while breastfeeding has been shown to decrease the risk of your child developing T1D.
T1D is caused by an autoimmune response, where the body attacks and kills the insulin producing cells in the pancreas. There is research being done to determine the genes involved, and what causes the autoimmune response. There are also trials being done that show promise in slowing the death of the insulin producing cells. But there is no known prevention, because the cause is not fully understood. T1D is NOT caused by something A) that you as a parent did B) that the child did C) that an adult did to themselves.
@@itfryguy Genes don't happen by themselves, environment has to happen to switch them on (except in some specific known genetic diseases). Plenty of people who have the bracca gene don't get breast cancer, for example. You don't understand genes, perhaps do some wider reading.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be diagnosed before ketoacidosis or a trip to the emergency room: Read the book "Diabetes Epidemic and You" by Dr. Joseph Kraft, MD, MS, FCAP. An annual insulin assay test of at least 2 hours can tell if the child has low blood insulin (T1D) or high blood insulin (T2D).

Hello
Hi
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be diagnosed before ketoacidosis or a trip to the emergency room:
Read the book "Diabetes Epidemic and You" by Dr. Joseph Kraft, MD, MS, FCAP. An annual insulin assay test of at least 2 hours can tell if the child has low blood insulin (T1D) or high blood insulin (T2D).
Thank you Dr.!
