Blood Sugar Levels

[TheSmackerlacker]

Does anyone know where I can find information about the ratio of carbs/sugars/etc; consumed to blood glucose increase over time for a normal healthy person?

I am a Nursing student in my first year. I'm finding these videos incredibly helpful for my nursing science exams! THANKS!

Can't you write the translation from mg/dl to mmol/l? You don't use mg/dl in Europe when it comes to bloodsugar. :(

[lizmariposa1]

@Iceabella mg/dL divided by 18 = mmol/L.

[Roboklintworth]

why are these videos not in the biology playlist?????!!

2:25 "my wife say this word without knowing what it meant" lmao

[vijaybuddhisagar]

Very good explanation.May be because Sal is not a dactor.

[park3r7]

I'm loving these new video's. Keep up the great work.

Normally I don't comment because many of your viewers object to your videos on philosophical grounds when you're trying to educate, not evangelize. But this is life-and-death, and they cannot rely on the most crooked health care system in the world (in a country that uses medieval units of measure) to protect them. BGL meters are available over-the-counter and Americans must be proactive in their own care. Their nation is geared towards consumption and medication, not prevention.

@warrenlaurde K, but they still need to be available for Type 1 diabetics.

Well written Sal. This is pretty much EXACTLY how my diabetes doctor explained it to me the first time. Although people should know that in extreme cases the blood concentration goes upto 900 beyond which you can go into coma.

I was diagnosed first time with a blood sugar concentration on 750.. but with medication and careful eating it rarely goes above 125..

I think Sal explained it 100 times better than a doctor would have!

[barrywilliamsmb]

Excellent video. Thank you.

We need a Salman Khan Hospital

Very helpful, thanks.

[klipngirl]

Loved the comment about eating a quart of honey for breakfast, it made me laugh. There may be some bears who actually do... :P

[JimNtexas]

Can you explain the relationship of the current blood sugar level with the ratio expressed in A1C tests?

[baburo101]

Tutoring services don't like Mr. Khans work.

[cutifruit1004]

@baburo101

some people don't have money for tutoring..thanks to khan he gives people an opportunity to learn.

[LieutenantUhura]

@baburo101 Off course they don't like it. He's putting them out of a job!

[ArtemRomanov]

You are not a doctor, you are 1000% better.

[Charlymaumushi]

Nice. your awsome.

[jjkul1]

I would be better to draw your graphs and diagrams (perhaps just the axes) BEFORE you start your presentation and keep them around and switch between them on need. This will shorten 3 minutes of an average lesson.

Otherwise, we love you Khan.

[SpoiledLogic]

@jjkul1 I completely disagree. It's much easier to learn and absorb information as he is doing things from scratch. Plus it's an absolute delight listening to Khan talk.

[scottyurfunnylol]

very interesting, thankyou. So diabetes is when the body cant process the glucose?

[Izhueful]

@scottyurfunnylol Oh god, you just made a fool of yourself, try watch the previous movie, and then think again.

[scottyurfunnylol]

@Izhueful sorry...

[Manodragon]
