Some people have high blood sugar levels, and it’s not actually dangerous. Let me explain.
Having high blood sugar levels due to consuming high amounts of refined sugar and carbs is different than having high blood sugar from normal physiological processes.
High blood sugar that occurs because of a physiological reason won’t create the damage that pathological high blood glucose can.
An A1C test measures your average blood glucose levels over three months. If you have physiological high blood glucose, your A1C won’t be elevated. But, if you have high blood glucose derived from the wrong diet, your A1C will be elevated.
It’s important to consider all the different factors when you check your blood glucose.
Surprising causes of high blood glucose:
• Infection
• Injury
• Inflammation
• Mental stress
• Dawn phenomenon
• Lack of sleep
• Artificial sweeteners
• Excess caffeine consumption
• Jet lag
• Intense exercise
• Menstrual cycle
• Certain medications
• Prolonged fasting
• Low sodium
Top things that can affect the results of your blood glucose test:
• Using expired testing strips
• Having wet or dirty fingers
• Having sugar on your fingers
• Extreme temperatures
• What you ate or drank just before you tested
If you have high blood sugar, the most crucial thing to do is get on the right eating plan. Learn about the Healthy Keto® diet in my other video.

Thank you Dr. Berg!🌷
You’re welcome!
Great information 😊 just what I needed to hear 😊appreciate Dr. Berg 😊
Glad you found it helpful!
I think I may be suffering lack of having the right amount of oxygen during sleep. This may be affecting my blood sugar levels. Especially during winter my breathing can be a bit laboured.
Have you looked into a c-pap machine? it will give you the oxygen you need. loosing weight will also help with oxygen.
Is your haemoglobin levels normal?
@Vidhyut KargutkarI’ve not tested for that as yet.
@macoedivI’m only 77kg, workout and I’m quite muscular. 5.9″
Dr Berg is very good 👍💯🙏♥️
Thanks for your support!
Dr Berg and Dr Berry my 2 favorite docs!
I was hospitalized on heavy duty IV antibiotics for a bacterial infection that got into my bloodstream. Afterward my health insurance company started sending me diabetes pamphlets even though I don’t have diabetes. Apparently there was something about high blood sugar in my hospital records (due to the infection) that the insurance company saw, and they assumed I had diabetes even though proper diabetes testing was never done. I told them to stop the pamphlets LOL
My blood glucose went up when I had a kidney stone that caused an infection. Luckily I had a doctor who recognized that I was not diabetic. A Basel Metabolic panel was taken just this week and my blood glucose was 95. When I was suffering from the infection it went up to 105. My Cardiologist recognized that I was not diabetic as well. I am a former nurse and I watch these issues like a hawk, The only time I had any issues is when I was sick enough to be admitted to hospital. I do not eat anything sugary very often. I have A Fib tendencies and I am on Metoprolol 25 mg once per day which also can raise blood glucose.
I wonder if a diagnosis of diabetes in that record can affect the cost of life insurance in the future. Just a thought
@jenniferlee7167 berg has videos on aFb and nutrient deficiencies
I pray to God that you won’t ever develop that terrible disease!
Don’t allow anyone to tell you that it’s not that bad of a sickness!
So much thanks to you Dr. Berg. This video is the answer to my problems. It is exactly what i was searching for. THANK YOU ❤
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
@Dr. Eric Berg DC I am improving my health day by day and geting free of pain following you. You made me love to live my life!! Thank you
The standards as preferred that are quoted here are much lower than other places, and earlier times. In aus we have looked for a good blood sugar range between 4 – 5.5 nM [In Aus we use the mole system]. This translates to 80 – 100 mgm / dL. Mainly in hospital we like to see blood sugars less than 120 mg, this is considered acceptable. By keeping to this level of blood sugars, I kept my A1c below 7, again that is the optimum in Aus, Canada, UK etc. However I was advised by my endocrinologist that recent research has determined that a slighter higher level of blood sugar was considered safer in “older” patients, I’d say over 60yrs as the organs seem to need more glucose in order to function at optimum levels.
Thank you Dr Berg. I took your advice and started taking Benfotiamine and that fixed my A1C and glycation problems! You saved my life
What was your A1C before taking benfotiamine. Which benfotiamine did you. take. I mean which brand. What about glycation problems
Dr Berg is a God given gift for mankind.
Let’s not get carried away
@CTX50 If someone is saving my life, I don’t mind getting carried away 😍
@De Dr. B is right about some things but not everything. I can attest to that
@CTX50 Medical lobbies are mostly against natural remedies🤪
I just gained more respect for you if that is possible Dr. Berg for yielding to Dr. Berry on diabetic issues and keto information! I follow both of you and I highly respect both of you and all of you have changed my life! Thank you and God bless you ❣️ We don’t take your information for granted and we are listening!
Thanks Doc. This information fills in gaps.. gaps that are typically filled with advice that can make one worse. Wholistic thinking, Wholistic practices, for the **Big Win** thanks Doc!
Doc! You certainly are a great man for truly helping people with the truth! A million thanks!
I have my annual exam in a couple days. I checked my tests online. My blood glucose was 113. My doctors dont order A1C tests so I do my own A1C test at a local lab and it has averaged 5.3 to 5.4 over the last 4 tests but 5 tests ago it was 5.7. Long term my A1C averages 5.4. My glucose averages 107 for the past 4 years. I do fast for the tests and work out daily and my body weight is around 200 for 6 foot tall frame. I dont know what else to do. IS my A1C more meaningful or is my glucose?
THANK YOU! I FINALLY got a an answer to why my A1c (10) is higher than my blood samples during the day! (just got tested a week ago). I have pain I deal with on a daily basis and I take tramadol. Stress with family. All the other “stresses”. But my daily glucose level is 100-130. So……gonna have a long talk with my primary. She’s throwing Metformin at me and increased Synthroid but we’ll talk first because I refuse to take it (was on Metformin with Endocrinologist in beginning, but it only made me very sick so she went to insulin). Primary is new for me as my other primary retired. You SO made my day: the stress alone from just THINKING about the A1c problem is enough to raise my A1c! You da man, Dr. B! And I already signed up for the newsletter connection…..I’m indebted. I’m working on it, with your bits of insight……Thank You! (bowing low! )……
I just recently got my bloodwork back after doing keto and maintaining over 40 pounds weight loss. I was depending too much on artificial sweeteners. My a1c went from a normal level of 5.4 to pre diabetic of 5.8. I’m cutting way back on them.
Any particular type? Am using erythritol and monk fruit from Costco
@Seattle Six I think it the same. I think I am in the unfortunate group whose blood glucose levels spike artificial sweeteners, so I’m cutting way back.
Just curious Jeff, what age are you?
This channel itself has tons of information and i like how he is still mention getting good information from another channel. Very humble.
Thank you, Dr Berg. Dawn phenomenon confuses a lot of diabetics and brings them to despair, since we have to go do our fasting bloodwork just when our morning cortisol and glucose levels are high! When we try to tell this to the docs and nurse practitioners who want to put us on meds/insulin, they just assume we’re know-it-all internet surfers, and our protests should be disregarded.
You’re very welcome. Glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you for informing us. I really needed that. I was surprised that sometimes my mom had a little bit of high blood glucose level.
