Diabetes: The Silent Killer

Thanks for sharing! Message received. May he Rest In Peace.

My dad too ,recently had an amputation because of diabetes. I work in a different country and because of this pandemic I have not been able to go home and see him. Watching this video just broke my heart. I cried thinking of my own dad and what hes going through 💔😔 RIP Brian.

My 82 yr old father is facing amputation and his life is in peril. He didn't eat a lot of sugar but consumed a lot of fatty rich meats. I am so scared and depressed for him and our family. Please watch what you eat, it's not worth it. 😔🙏🙏

This was absolutely heartbreaking R. I..P Brain 😢😢

I had type two diabetes but then I did intermittent fasting and lost 74kgs i stop eating sweets cakes biscuits fast food anything sweet I don’t have diabetes now but I’m always aware that if I don’t keep an eye on what I eat then I will be back to square one. Much love to Brian an his Whanau.

Tq so much for the best health documentary. Malaysia have the same problem. I share to my friend and family members to watch.

I have treated so many patients as a DPT, who have so many complications, and/or amputations. Several I have encountered, unfortunately look at it as a foreign body, or like losing hair when a limb or appendage is amputated, and keep the same lifestyle, despite there being options and support for change. All I can do is educate, encourage, and reinforce a healthier lifestyle, including exercise.

My mother and all my siblings have been morbidly obese since the early teens. I’ve never been overweight. I didn’t like eating so much food all the time. My mother always tried to get me to eat seconds like everyone else at the table, but I was full so I didn’t. She always made jokes about me being unhealthy, or that she was concerned for me. At 17 I was 5,10 152 lbs, I’m also a male. I’m 37 now around the same weight. The last time I spoke to my family my two year older brother wasn’t treating his diabetes, he had multiple eye surgeries, untreated sleep apnea and so on. He was fired from multiple jobs because he wold show up an hour late because he was “asleep” the alarms on full blast couldn’t wake him. The last time I saw him he was sitting a few inches in front of his television because he couldn’t see the screen while a family size pizza was cooking. This was in 2016. I haven’t seen or spoke to any of my family members sense. I could stomach being around them for as long as I could. I couldn’t take the slim jokes and jabs all the time. While any talk of their weight would get me cut off from them for months at a time. I was the problem, not all of their poor choices. Looking back on it all, I realize my mother was pathological and actively destroyed all of her children’s lives on purpose. It’s sick and twisted. I eventually leaned that my situation wasn’t all that uncommon. Jealous, mean, pathological, narcissistic people shouldn’t have kids. My mother wasn’t happy with herself or her life and wasn’t about to have any of her children look better, be more healthy, or be more successful than her.

I don't know the price of fast food in NZ, but here in Europe Mcdonald, Bürger King, KFC is VERY expensive.

I missed this on TV TODAY BUT WATCHING IT NOW ❤🇬🇧

Its way more than sugar and "junk food", though! I cant BELIEVE that you showed the daughter bringing her dad oranges like its healthy! ORANGES ARE NOTHING BUT SUGAR! You can get more Vit.C from veggies! People dont understand that carbs are sugar, too!

Thankyou for sharing Sleep tight beautiful angel x

❤God be with those who lost a limb to diabetes. it's a cruel disease that damages like cancer.

You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes 💪

I've had it about eleven years. I'm not very good at it either. I do ok food wise, it's the pop that really gets me. Love it.

I would not wish diabetes on anyone I am 38 and found out at the age of 14 I have type 1

The problem we (I included) don't feel sick, don't feel pain, don't see anything wrong with our bodies (other than overweight) to try and do something about our diabetes. It's a slow progressing damage so we don't notice the harm until the damage has shown up. And yet we don't recognize the seriousness until limbs or sight is being lost. By then it's too late. It's a shame we tend to put our bodies to the test.

How sad. He seemed like a very nice Maori Koro and papa. One really has to take care of themselves with this deadly disease.

A plant-based, whole-foods diet as well as exercise can help manage or even reverse Type 2 diabetes. I was a pescatarian when I was diagnosed seven years ago. I am now a vegan. I cut out all added sugar, and greatly reduced my alcohol intake. I make sure I eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. I get regular exercise. I've gone from 195 to 175 pounds. It is simple, but not easy. You have a whole culture trying to convince you to eat poorly, to give into temptation. I primarily blame the food industry. At the same time, it does require conscious choices to eater healthy and stay active. Shaming oneself or others is not productive. But the more you do it, the better you feel, and the easier it is to follow a healthier lifestyle.

Diabetics around the world, please just give the Keto diet a try. Even if it's for a couple weeks, you may find healing through this lifestyle.
