In this video, we’re going to talk about high insulin and high blood glucose. The American Diabetes Association has changed its classification of normal blood glucose levels several times over the years. Here are their recommendations by year:
•1925-100 mg/dl
•1968-130 mg/dl
•1978-115 mg/dl
•1997-2003-110 mg/dl
•2004-2007-100 mg/dl

Your blood glucose levels should ideally be between 80 and 90 mg/dl, but up to 100 mg/dl can be okay. "The Diabetes Epidemic and You" is an excellent book about healthy blood sugar levels. Joseph Kraft M.D. tested more than 14,000 people over a period of 25 years and found that the best indicator for prediabetes is high insulin, not high blood sugar.

High insulin will be discovered long before high blood sugar becomes a problem. Unfortunately, doctors are not testing insulin levels. If you’re experiencing fatigue after eating, weight gain, and other symptoms associated with prediabetes, ask your doctor to check your insulin levels.
