In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about diabetic and blindness. Normally, it takes 10 years of exposure to high blood sugar before you notice very serious complications to your nervous system, eyes, kidney, and even the brain.  

Some Complications of High Sugar: 

• Numbness in Fingertips and Toes

• Infections

• Kidney Leaks Protein 

• Nerves of the Eyes get destroyed 

High levels of glucose combined with proteins in the tissue and create this situation called Glycated Proteins. The nerves of the eye is fed to the vascular system, if the blood vessels to the nerve can’t flow blood anymore, the nerves die – which causes blindness on a diabetic person. It is a condition called diabetic retinopathy. 

• Normal Fasting Blood Glucose: Between 70 – 90 

• Prediabetic: 100 – 125 

• Diabetic: Over a 125

Type 2 diabetes is a serious problem of insulin resistance where you have high levels of insulin and it is just more damaging than high levels of blood glucose.
