Dr. Berg talks about diabetes type 1. Insulin controls potassium in the cell. If you have less insulin as in diabetes type 1, then you can get a back up of potassium in the blood, creating too much and not enough inside the cell. It's a rare situation but you should know if you are a diabetic type 1.  The symptoms of low blood potassium and high blood potassium are similar. But also realize that what's happening in the blood does not tell you what's happening INSIDE the cell. If you are a type 1 diabetic, it may be beneficial to get both tests - blood potassium level test and an intracellular potassium test.
