Meet Johan.
Johan was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2011, since then he’s encountered ups and downs and plenty of controversy as he’s worked to improve his condition.
Find out how Johan transformed his life to become one of the fittest people I know!
Find out how close he was to losing his life and what he did to change his mindset.
An inspiring transformation story not to be missed!
I saw your video about a month ago and I was on 42 units of lantus a day and a hba1c of 9.7 so I decided I would start running and have a very strict diet. Over the last month I have gone down to only 12 units of insulin! All I want now is to keep pushing myself and become the best I can be. Honestly thank you for inspiring me to do something with my blood sugar!
Great to hear that Mitch ✋🏼🤚🏼
That is awesome! Good to hear. Keep going Mitch! 👊🏻👊🏻
Did you add any supplements, to your diet? My 17 yo just got diagnosed.
hey@@karlakirk5864 please don't tell your son this is curable, tell him he can manage it if he exercise but not curable, at least for now, there are trial medications for newly diagnosed people maybe look into that but this video might be one in a million case or just a miss diagnosis it's very abnormal to get T1D at this persons age it is probably type two
please don't give him false hope and make him think he is worthless when the results don't show up, there are always going to be highs and lows but as long us he takes good care of himself he will be fine,
i went of my medication because of this kind of false narrative and it almost killed me. i wish no one goes through that,
i personally wish this video doesn't exist or at list had a different approach of going about it
This is not correct you cannot reverse type1 diabetes there is no way possible true fact
You guys give me such hope & make me so proud. I have a friend who was diagnosed with T1D at 32, oddly enough. He loved booze and drank himself to death, bc he was so depressed. Hes on my arm now.
Sorry to hear such a sad sorry, it does put things in perspective!
We’re happy if we can give anyone hope after watching this and hearing Johan’s story. Even if it inspires someone to make small changes that leads to even the tiniest improvements in their life, it’s been worthwhile as far as we’re concerned!
Your friend clearly had an impact on you and it sounds as though you’ve found a meaningful way to honour him 🙏🏼
I was diagnosed with type 1 in august of last year. I decided I’d never take insulin, and that id do anything in my power to stay alive. I quit sugar and carbs completely and started doing 3-4 day fasts every few months. I’ve been adding carbs but still remain on a keto diet a year later. I’ve still never taken insulin. Thanks for your story
This is amazing to hear! 🙏🏼
Are you training much?
Do you check your blood sugar regularly?
Wow that is amazing! I hope you can stay on top of this Cianan 💪🏼
hey for me the same but diagnosed in Dec 2021 never taken insulin. Can we get in touch somehow?
@@Michael-cw8le
Hi Michael, where do you live?
@@johankotze7080 I was living in France - now just traveling
Fantastic video and an amazing effort combined with the determination has given you awesome results for your health and prolonged life well-done 👍
I also was wondering if you were not really a type 1, yet I believe only an initial and current C-peptide could confirm this. However, the point is that you took charge of your health and that's what all diabetics need to do. I became a type 1 diabetic 4 years ago due to an autoimmune disorder that destroyed my pancreas. I too changed my diet, continued to work out 6 days/week, and am now able to live a pretty normal life on just a few units of long lasting insulin every morning. I am very impressed with you Dr.!
Thank you very much and well done you too! 👊🏻👊🏻
how is your diet
We will do a video shortly on Johan’s diet!
In the early days we monitored very closely his sugar levels after eating and exercise and during exercise.
I think that’s the way for anyone to go, keep a close eye on how certain foods and different types of exercise affect you and your sugar levels. Over time you should be able to make adjustments and keep doing more of what works and less of what doesn’t
@@rikkinetic I got the Type 1 diagnosis last year, and switched to a 100% Raw Vegan diet. Has worked wonders for me. That said; getting insight into Johans regime and diet would be quite intresting. Thanks for the documentary!
This one was released just yesterday and looks into the changes Johan made to his diet 💪🏼

You are giving huge hope to all the folks out there receiving thkd hard news. We just found out our 11yr old has type 1 diabetes through a DKA episode that landed her in the ER. I have hope and faith that this isnt forever
Let’s hope that more research and guidance will be out there in the near future.
We can’t say that what’s happened to Johan will happen to anyone else but optimising fitness and nutrition will at least go some way to improving overall health.
Johan needed his medication for several years and it did keep him alive so he is grateful for that.
We hope that his story can help other diabetes sufferers 🙏🏼 all the very best with your journey
I have been diagnosed with type 1 for over 2 years. Its been almost a whole year since i was hospitalized, really taking it a lot more seriously.
This video gives me a lot of hope for the future.
I would love to see a video of the meals you switched to.
Im greatly inspired and agree with the message, diabetes encouraged me to be healthier.
Thank you 😊 happy to hear you’ve been inspired by Johan’s story! Hopefully it can be of use to you and any progress you may make in the future

Thank you for your positive comments.
Please understand that he has been misdiagnosed as T1. There is no way to exercise your way out if you really have Type1. The best you can do for your self is to accept your diagnosis, get educated about your Insulin therapy, keep your bloodsugars in range and enjoy your Life as T1 😊
you can't cure type 1 diabetes unfortunately
Thank you for sharing this story! It is incredibly inspiring. Congratulations, well done!
Thank you Alana 🙏🏼
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very inspiring...thank you🙌🏾🤩
What a wonderfull story. I think it gives hope and power to diabetic people.
Also really enjoying this new style of video Ricky, a nice mix-up that's still in theme, but different nontheless
Thanks 😊 this was a project we started over 3 years ago and for one reason or another we couldn’t get down to edit it! I thought it was about time we finished it 🎥
It’s an amazing story and there’s even some monkey bars and calisthenics in there 🤩🐒
Sorry but I don't agree. People claiming to have reversed Type 1 are one reason why some freshly diagnosed Type 1s have a hard time accepting their condition which ultimately leads to bad health and psychological in most cases. Please make clear that you were not a true Type 1, but Lada Type 1,5 at most ...
Thank you for sharing this amazing results!!
I also noted that when I did no sports for 1 month my insulin requirements (for low carb diet) went up to 6 IU per meal plus some to correct. Now after a few weeks of training I only need 1 IU per meal and sometimes have to correct with some Glucose! I’m 34 and got diagnosed last year.
You motivate me to continue exercising and living a healthy life style!
Thank you Don
That’s great to hear! Definitely keep up the exercise as long as you can 💪🏼
Wow! That is awesome to hear!
Keep training! 💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻
This is very interesting. I was diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic April 2020 at Age 29. I was fairly fit / strong with not a terrible nor good diet. Type 1 was confirmed through antibdody testing.
I am so pleased to have fount this video, as I believe Daniel Darkes was also able to come off insulin through vigorous training and exercise. There is clearly a link and I believe this video will inspire many of us, to give it a go.
Huge congrats to you Johan. To be in the right mental state to tackle this the way you have, puts you in legendary status. The man.
Thank you Rhys 🙏🏼
We’re pleased you’ve found it and we’re pleased you see this as inspirational 💪🏼
We hope it helps you going forward ✋🏼🤚🏼
Thank you Rhys
Amazing transformation. Wow!!
Continue with your fitness regime. God Bless.
🙏🏼
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 6 years now. I was diagnosed when I was 24 years old. Last year I decided to play soccer. Which involved training Monday, Wednesday and playing on Saturday morning. After 2 months of training I stopped taking insulin completely. But due to certain reason I stopped playing and training and had to take insulin again. My father has diabetes which led to him to kidney failure and is on dialysis. His father had it which led him to death. My mother has it which led her to have IBS. Her mother had it but died of old age due to diet and control. My whole family had diabetes and so do. I live it and I can confidently say what you doing is the way off it...and if anyone say anything else just means they accepted their condition and does not want to change it
It sounds as though you’ve dealt with a lot personally and as a family! I admire your attitude though and I agree. I think it’s Johan’s attitude of not feeling sorry for himself and the action that he has taken that has led him to be in this situation where he he finds himself off all his medication 💪🏼
And thank you 🙏🏼
Were you ever tested to see how much insulin you produce? People with T1D don’t produce insulin, or a negligible amount. Insulin is necessary for proper organ function.
I've had type 1 for nearly 40 years. I reckon I'm type 1.5 or whatever cus there are days where I need little insulin yet other days my sugar levels go high after appearing to eat the same food & having the same insulin. Predictably unpredictable! For the last 2 years I've had the libre2 cgm & that is a god send. I was 23 when diagnosed & now 63 but I don't appear to have any long term nasties. I played football for many years, banana before kickoff, mars bar at half time. I also ran a bit & did the great north run in 1990. I'm now semi retired & do 6 hour shifts since may whereas I was doing 12 hour shifts in a big Ocado warehouse near Tamworth. I cope with the 'loads of walking' better than most of the younger ones! I was a member of a gym for 9 years but got myself in a money mess 7 years ago so stopped the gym. Its took years but my finances are now sorted so I'm hoping to rejoin the gym soon. Your video has inspired me to get on with that. Thanks.
Thank you Martin 🙏🏼😊 great to hear it, keep up the good work 💪🏼
Thank you Martin. 🙏🏼
It is truely inspiring . Respect.
Johan deserves a nice holiday with family now I’d say 😃💪🏼😉
Thanks Coach! 🙏🏼
Very inspiring!!! Nice job!!
Thank you Steve! Glad you liked it!
Thank you Steve!
Thank you for bringing a ray of hope to our lives. Our 11yr old son has been diagnosed with T1 DM. While everybody says we will need insulin always, I have been looking for people who have managed to stop insulin requirements. If you could possibly spare a few minutes to tell us more as to when you started your healing journey, what diet you took, what was your exercise regimen, I would be deeply indebted. 🙏
Thanks for your comments 😊 we’re happy to hear you have hope and this video has adding to that!
We’ve now created a playlist with Johan’s videos, check out the following two if you haven’t already…

These will give you more of an idea of what Johan’s exercise regime and nutrition consists of.
We welcome any more questions you may have
Thank you for your comment 🙏🏼
Yes, please have a look at the other videos, which may answer some of your questions.
Don't rely on this video as priof positive this Will work for YOU. Every body is different. And this guy's life is completely manipulated BY the gym and a rigid diet.
Our 11 year old daughter was in the PICU for the first time with DKA yesterday but has transitioned to med surg already. It is our first diagnosis. We too are looking for hope and seeing this video, I know it's out there, we just gotta find it. So many prayers for you and your son ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@riteshhr.k.fatnfine3004...Hello R U from India? Can I get your Number? R U giving Ur Child Insulin or not?
👏 I will do this, too. The body can heal when given the correct environment to do so. Hats off to you, Sir.!!!
Thank you Darrell! Great attitude 💪🏼 good luck to you
Thank you Darrell 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Glad you think so!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Inspirational. Keep going.
Thanks Kevin 🙏🏼
Thank you Kevin 🙏🏼
Getting fit and off of Lantus is one thing. Getting off bolus insulin seems unrealistic. I’m T1D and I already look like a natural bodybuilder… maybe if I actually focused on healthy habits instead of performance, but I don’t think it’s going away. Props to you but we’re still suffering out here no matter what we do.
Thanks Jason it is a curious case for sure. We wanted to share this story partly to get answers ourselves! As the Doctor said on the video, maybe Johan wasn’t 100 % full blown Type 1 in which case I’m sure there’s others that come into this category.
Hats off to you for dedicating yourself to being fit whilst suffering with it!
@@rikkinetic there are gene tests that doctors can order to determine if you have type 1 diabetes or an abnormal form of type 2. I had one of them done before, because below a certain body fat percentage, I also don’t really need Lantus. I would take one of those tests to see if you actually carry the gene for T1 before suggesting to people could’ve avoided it.
@@jasonreimann6791
I have asked doctors about this test. Apparently it is an extremely expensive test and their reply was that all my symptoms were typical of type 1 and they didn’t see the need to do a genetic test.
I came off my Lantus about 6 months before I came off Novorapid, but this was about 6 years after diagnosis and still needed to inject Novorapid for approx. 6 - 8 months after stopping Lantus.
My point is that I was living a life of a type 1 diabetic for 6 - 7 years with all the ups and downs that come with it. 🤨
Maybe that also explains why doctors are now recognising ‘type 1,5’ 🤷🏻♂️, as my last consultant told me, after coming off insulin, that I am now somewhere between type 1 and type 2.
dont take me wrong here, im also a type 1 and i just want to say i can also lea e without insulin, i just feal tyerd more often, and yes i can mantain my blood sugar in the 100, so what i want to know is can you eat a pizza and stay normal?
I used to avoid pizza at all cost. I needed 4 units of Novorapid for only one little slice of pizza!
I do eat pizza once in a while, but due to the high carb content, it does influence my blood sugar and it takes much longer to come down again.
Generally I still avoid it, or only eat one or two slices.
Great video - I'd love to hear how you transition? Going from insulin to none would be a big problem, the insulin causes hypo, hypo needs carbs and so carbs increase and ?
Thank you 🙏🏼
Johan came off insulin nearly 7 years ago now! He still exercises almost everday and still monitors his food carefully.
Check out the playlist I’ve created for some of his more recent videos. This might give you an understanding of his current situation 😊 thanks again
Have I cured Type 1 Diabetes?
ruclips.net/p/PLoXzzLIXLhK8GjFyCPl72AN_VAqRh8cmh
It happened gradually over a long period of time.
I kept reducing my long acting insulin, to compensate for low fasting bs. Eventually I reached 1 unit per day, so I stopped. I still used short acting insulin for the next 6 months and then came off that too. 🤷🏻♂️
This is my uncle
Were you making some insulin on your own when diagnosed? Do you know how your c-peptide levels evolved over time? I'm not sure if this would be possible for people who have a fairly large amount of their beta cells already burned out. Happy to hear your thoughts.
Doctors don't even do these tests, if you have ketones and your HBA1C is high they diagnose you immediately with T1D
Fantastic movie. I was diagnosed with type 1 about 1 year ago and through excercise and better diet I need less and less insulin. Are you guys located in south-west maybe? I'd love to meet Johan, as he gave me hope for better life...
Thanks for your comment! It’s great to get positive feedback and good to know that Johan’s story can bring hope to others 💪🏼
Yes we are located in the south/south west of England
We maybe need to set up a community where people can meet, communicate and share their experiences??
@@rikkinetic Thank you for your reply. I'm sure many people diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 would be interested to meet you and Johan. I personally would be able to visit you fairly easily (Exeter area). Pls let me know. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comment!
It’s so good to know that my story inspire other people. This is exactly what Rikki and I tried to achieve. 💪🏻
Would be great to meet up.
Let’s organise something 👊🏻👊🏻
Hi i am a 25 year old female and very thin and i constantly have a dry mouth and always thirsty i looked at my fasting glucose levels that said 105 prediabetic Stage i pee protein very often in december my fasting glucose was 85 After and now it‘s 105 the doctors dont really take me serious because they say i am thin and look healthy
Way to go Johan Kotze, friends and family! Watched this today as my daily motivational video. Just because getting healthy is not easy, does not mean it is not worth doing; rather the opposite!
Hi Aksel.
Thank you so much for your positive comment 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I don't want to be negative but I studied Diabetes Education because my only 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and survived ketoacidosis that took her to the hospital and almost killed her, however, after so much discipline in eating and physical activity It is impossible for my daughter to live without insulin, on the third day she would be in the hospital again due to ketoacidosis…. With complete and absolute honesty, I admit that type 1 Diabetes has been hell and when it is said that you have to learn to live with Diabetes and not for diabetes, it is simply one more lie with which we must program ourselves!
Hi Sara, thanks for your comment 😊
I hope your Daughter is on top of her type 1, it seems she has good support behind her!
We accept that what has happened to Johan won’t happen to everyone. It is a curious case and that’s why it should form part of future studies on type 1 Diabetes. This is the sort of case that we hope more people will learn about when they research Diabetes in the future!
This story might not help everyone but we hope that it helps some. And maybe it can inspire people to make positive changes, even if that doesn’t result in coming off insulin or even if helps non Diabetics, which based on our feedback, it already has 😊
Thanks again Sara, all the best to you, your daughter and your family
Hi Sara,
Thank you for your comment.
I too, was admitted to hospital with diabetic keto-acidodis, which nearly put me in a coma and would have been back in hospital within days if I did not have insulin to treat my diabetes.
Hope your daughter is ok and maybe there will be a cure for this nasty illness one day. 🙏🏼
It's so important to hear these positive cases.
I am a master PT, biomechanics coach and a sports nutritionist.
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 a year ago and we have had to adjust. Ultimately, this can and is managed with good nutrition, exercise and everything inbetween.
That's the TRUTH.
Well done Sir. Love to you and your family.
❤
Thank you Ashley 🙏🏼
@@ashleybryant305 it sounds as though your daughter is in good hands! We wish you all the best
Johan, Please share your food diary, specifically the items you ate that contain fiber.
Hi Jeana, did you see the video we did on Johan’s nutrition?
I’ll link it below if you didn’t!
Here is roughly what he would have any given day…
Breakfast
56g granola. Natural yoghurt 120g. Two spoons of flaxseed
Lunch
Smoothie made with two scoops of protein powder, one scoop of peanut butter and half a banana
Dinner
Meat/fish with vegetables/salad and sometimes potato or rice
This may vary somewhat especially the evening meal but breakfast and lunch I believe remain pretty consistent.
I’ll let Johan chip in if he wants to elaborate further…

Very boring, but it works for me and because breakfast and lunch remains the same, I don’t have to worry about unplanned blood sugar spikes. 😊
Very positive testimony

I am a type one diabetic following diet n exercises to reverse it trying each day hard to be insulin free one day n be normal like other people... ypur story is inspiring can you help me with wht kind of diet ypu followed? Exercises? And how much time it took for u to reverse it!
Hi Pooja thank you for your positive comments 😊 it’s nice to hear that by putting this story out there we have managed to help people!
I’ll let Johan give his version too but here’s a video we did recently that might help to answer your questions
ruclips.net/video/z7hykgHIcKI/видео.html
I’ll just say that the changes were made over a period of time and lots of care and effort went in to monitoring everything as we went.
Thanks again
Hi Pooja
Thank you for your reply.
My diet is mainly low carb. As I’m not on insulin anymore, it’s really important to keep my carb intake as low as possible.
I was diagnosed in February 2011, started training in October 2014 and stopped my Lantus in January 2018 and my Novorapid in July 2017.
So it was really not over night.
It was a very gradual process. We just realised over time that the harder I trained, the less insulin I needed.
Watch Rikki’s other videos on my exercise routine and diet
Hi Pooja, how many units of insulin do you consume per day.
I’ve been living with type 1 diabetes for 12 to 13 years and this is inspiring I want to cure it like you aswell
Correction:10 years I’ve been living with diabetes
Let’s us know how you’re journey goes!
We hope the videos we’ve done with Johan can help you on your way 💪🏼
If it were as simple as not smoking, eating properly and exercising, we would all get rid of it. At least I think so…
After such a long time, your Beta cells are completely destroyed. At least no honeymoon can fool you as "healing" 😂
What workouts did you do?

@FightBackAgainstDiabetes
Hello, I’m delighted you’ve managed to come off insulin. I’ve been type 1 since I was a very young child so I’ve had it for over 30 years now. As a teenager, young adult and a man in his 30’s and now in my 40’s I’ve trained and played sports my whole life and while the exercise would keep my levels down, they would go back up just as quickly after eating carbs.
One question I hope you can answer is; when training so hard, did you experience low blood sugar levels? If I train too long, I just start to drop and have to take some orange juice or glucose. It’s sounds like you didn’t get this which is interesting.
Good luck on your health journey. PJ in the UK.
Dear @HousewerkRecords
Thank you for your comment.
I always used to carry orange juice with me, for this reason. So yes, I did experience occasional hypo’s when training. I was very careful and would check my bs before, halfway through and at the end of a workout.
I usually ate a long acting carb, like a banana, and injected s couple of units of Novorapid before a workout, to try and manage my bs during the workout. This seemed to work really well.
👊🏻💯
You properly have T2D. how do you diagnose as a type 1 because normally type one is a chronic condition
Recent thinking based on research is there are more than just two types of diabetes! It seems there’s more research needed and hopefully with more research our understanding of what diabetics can do and what treatment is effective will improve 🙏🏼
This is just Johan’s story and an insight into how he progressed through the years after being diagnosed
@@rikkinetic thanks mate anyway this story is very inspiring and also they're more than two type of diabetes but the main diabetes is only two normally type 1 diabetes can check from the blood test with the C peptide and he has diabetes for 7 year s and he still get off the insulin is very amazing!!!
Yes we hope it helps to inspire people to make positive changes in their lives that could possibly lead to improvements in their health or maybe changes that just make them feel better about themselves 💪🏼
Thank you for your comments 😊
I am now classified as type 2 or type 1,5 but at the time of diagnosis my pancreas did not produce any insulin and for the following 7 years I needed to inject it. I was not insulin resistent either (as with type2) and so I responded to the insulin injections without any other oral diabetic meds.
Somehow my pancreas kicked in again. How and why? Who knows, but exercise and training the way I do, has certainly played a massive role.
Thank you for your comment.
@@johankotze7080 Hello! I'm type 1 diabetic and I would like to know which kind of exercice routine and diet do you follow? It might help a lot thank you :D
Does he still experience lows when exercising? I can understand how the exercise stops the use of fast acting insulin, but I can't see how you could ever stop the long-lasting insulin.
Hi George
I believe he only really has low blood sugars in the morning but I’d have to let Johan confirm that!?
Yes it puzzled us too, all I can say is that it happened gradually over a long period of time and still now he keeps up regular exercise (2 sessions a day some days) and is very consistent with his food.
No, I don’t suffer from hypo’s anymore, because I don’t inject insulin anymore.
I think the lowest it’s been since coming off insulin was 4.8
2:44 what is the name of the music playing in the background. it’s so soothing 😮
It’s called “Beyond the Badlands” by Silver Maple 😊
@@rikkinetic Thank-you 😊
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
Yes indeed 💪🏼
Absolutely! 💯💯
what food do you eat im T1D and i want to get better in my meals
When we started monitoring his food initially we found the higher carb the meal led to higher blood sugar after so we gradually reduced carb intake. At one point he was very low carb but I believe now he has more carbs but is very frequent with his exercise! He still carefully monitors his sugar levels and knows his body very well at this stage and what it responds to in regard to diet and training
Correct
Congratulations....
If I may ask...what type of autoantibodies did you have? Obviously concluding it was type 1 and not type 2...many thanks.
Thank you Alexander.
Unfortunately, they did not test my autoantibodies at the time, as all my symptoms were typical of type 1 and the NHS England guidelines say that it is unnecessary to test for antibodies when the symptoms are all so typical of type 1 🤷🏻♂️
I did, however, insist on this test, but it was after I came off insulin and the test was negative for those specific autoantibodies. I was told at the time, that not all type 1’s have the antibodies and that this test was not conclusive.
They told me that there were a few other (very expensive) tests that they could do, but that I would have to fund them myself. I chose not to.
@@johankotze7080 all type 1s have antibodies, they are caused by proteins such as gluten and gliadin which will cause glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 or 67 antibodies, these antibodies persist for years but can be overcome with a gluten free diet and high vitamin d intake. you were a type 2 and its not rare for a type 2 to reverse the condition. the title of the video is misleading and gaslighting type 1s
@@motha_trucker There seems to be controversy amongst endocrinologists. 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, I’m not type 1 now, as my pancreas is producing insulin (again)
When I was diagnosed as type 1, my pancreas did not produce insulin.
It seems that I’m not type 1, but certainly not type 2 (insulin resistant) either. 🤷🏻♂️
So for a type 1 patients is there chance of producing insulin again in pancreas
@@thescmaniacOnly telling my story as it happened to me. Not saying I found a cure. Not saying my diagnosis was right. Not denying that type 3c is what I most likely was. Listen to the video. 🤷🏻♂️
I've heard of a few type ones reversing. It's so inspiring and amazing! I know a type one who is fit, but had it since birth and is not better though. He is not an athlete though. We still don't know everything about diabetes. There might be regenerative conditions we can trigger in the body, or if we reverse the auto immune problem, the condition favors the pancreas to work again. Who knows. Often type 1 diabetics don't exercise on a high level. I've heard rarely of people reversing type 1 with herbs and minerals like niacin-amide, which is like Chromium Picolonate as it sensitized the blood cells to receive insulin.
Either way it's awesome.
Thank you Greg
I totally agree, there’s much more to be discovered about diabetes and especially type 1 and indeed if there are more than two types. We’ve also heard of similar stories and it’s these stories that need to be heard and studied in order to find out more!
Thanks again
Thank you Greg! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello Johan,
You are truly an inspiration. January 18 I went into the hospital with a DKA. After being discharged I went to see an endocrinologist and he ran some test and diagnosed me as a T1 diabetic. I had no idea that was a possibility. I am 53 I thought you could only get T1 as a juvenile. I was devastated, scared and confused.
I must of cried for a month. Until I saw your video. It gave me hope. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
I would like to ask you a few questions if possible. You said that you were on insulin for 7 years, was that because you started to train at that time or it took 7 years of diet and exercise to come off insulin?
Last how many times a day to you exercise?
I am new at this and it is quite overwhelming. I really appreciate any feedback and help with adjusting my new life.
Thank you and God Bless you and Rikki!
Anna DeSenze
Thank you for your comments Anna, we’re glad you found this and hopefully it can be of help 😊

I’ll let Johan answer the rest.
We did this video on his nutrition a few weeks back
ruclips.net/video/z7hykgHIcKI/видео.html
Hi Anna,
Thank you for your comment.
I was admitted to hospital with DKA and diagnosed type 1 diabetic at age 46. I was put straight on insulin.
It was only 4 years later (a month before I turned 50) that I started training. I was scared, as I had no idea how this would affect my BS.
It was only after a few years training that I noticed a change in my insulin needs.
I had to keep adjusting my Lantus as my fasting BS kept going down.
It was only a year into training that I asked Rikki to look at my diet, for health and fitness reasons. At that point, I could potentially still eat what I want and simply cover it with insulin. Now that I don’t use insulin, I do need to watch my carb intake.
I train most days of the week. Some days more than once.
About 6 - 10 hours per week.
Check out the other videos on Rikki’s channel about my diet and exercise regime.
Hope this helps! 🙏🏼
@@johankotze7080 How are your Ketones? Are you on a Ketogenic diet or more standard, but clean diet? Ive landed on a 100% vegan diet, but ofcourse it requires me to totally readress my kitchenhabits. Im quite sensitive to insulin already, but like you, Im quite active, both with working outside/mountaineus woodland in my sparetime, in addition to weight and endurance training.
There are some very convincing data from a diabetic doctor in the more ketogenic direction, but after reviewing ALOT of research (NIH, Cell, Lancet and other outlets) in addition to testimonies from doctors and researchers, I landed on going 100% vegan. That poses its own challenges regarding making sure I get the nutrients required, but once you decide to map out a direction, it becomes somewhat easier. I will give Anna a list of research/doc related names she can look into, so if thats of intrest to you, check my reply to her in a little while.
@Anna I got Type 1 at the age of 48 years of age, with emergency room/DKA. I just happened to test my bloodwork 3.5 weeks after my dose 1 of the vaccine, and noticed a spike in bloodsugar, while the hb1ac was normal. It could just be coincidence tho. I got that bloodwork rapport upon request AFTER the DKA, as the doc back then cleared me as normal after the routine workrelated bloodcheck.
Found this paper yesterday "A1 beta-casein milk protein and other environmental pre-disposing factors for type 1 diabetes", on the National Library of Medicine.
You might need a leaky gut to get that reaction tho, or increased chance. I DID have a VERY stressful job for years, which is one of the issues affecting your vunerability to autoimmune illnesses, in addition to being from the rual enviroment from youth, I have been quite fond of dairy products.
Like Johan, I also manage my Type 1 with quite strict patterns, which seems overwhelming at first, but after a while its just normal life. I try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. I did a full bloodwork check very early, to see if I had any deficiencies, that might affect my body's uptake ability of nutrients and vitamins etc.
Since you just got out of the hospital, at our age, I almost assume you still have functioning betacells, and Dr Bernstein says you can retain the remaining betacells in the pancreas, if you manage to lower your bloodsugar/hb1ac. Im currently at 5.6, but the hospital kept me at 10-12 for several months to avoid nervedamage since my DKA bloodsugar was extremely high/they have never seen anyone survive such a high bloodsugar (149mmol/l). I was fully functional and felt good until same day of hospital, probably cause of my relativly physical rual lifestyle. Dr Bernstein is a doctor still practicing in USA, and he became diabetic in 1946. He says you can retain your "honeymoon" period, by normalising your HbA1c at 4.7%. Your endocrinologist will surely recommend strongly against this, due to the relative risk of hypoglycaemia. He got a youtube channel, in addition to a book detailing his lifestyle and how he treats his own diabetic patients.
I personally went a bit off script, becoming 100% vegan, but avoiding processed vegan food, as that is often as unhealthy as normal junkfood due to addatives and being soaked in oil (staturated fat).
There are 2 Type 1 diabetics with high profile, with youtube channel Mastering Diabetes.
M.D Brooke Goldner, had the autoimmune illness Lupus, and she reversed all symptoms, including antibody markers. RUclips channel: Goodbye Lupus by Brooke Goldner, M.D.
Dr Saray Stancic, had MS, and had the same result. She has several presentations and interviews on youtube.
Roy Taylor, Professor of Medicine and Metabolism, Director of the Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre have gone into detail about the actual effects on the liver and pancreas thru diet/bodyweight, including the panreas ability to react to bloodsugar signals (Ive not read his papers/only seen his youtube video presentations).
Dr. McDougall Health & Medical Center, Doctor Klaper, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn (specialist in cardiac issues, but ties the overarching prevention/repair back to dietary choices).
NutritionFacts with Dr Michael Greger etc.
Im very vegan oriented, (I did love dairy and meat, so quitting cold-turkey wasnt a easy choice to make) so the names listed above is biased towards information in that direction, but even research which includes meat/dairy, is heavily inclusive of greens/fruits. Valter Longo comes to mind there, a wellknown researcher from the US.
Easy to understand presentation of the science is given by Chris MacAskill, thru his channel "Plant Chompers". I ignored his channel for a long while, but he is really good at picking apart and looking at the actual science/research, and keeping it understandable.
Also check "YOU NEED FIBER! The Secret to Your Gut Health: Kristin Kabay MS, RD, CSSD, LD" on youtube. 25 minutes, but quite detailed.
Regarding preserving your "honeymoon" betacells in the pancreas, if you are considered LADA Type 1 Diabetic, also known as Type 1.5. Get your GAD65 number, C-peptide (measure of your pancreas insulin production) and you have to tie that to your bloodsugar value. You might have normal C-peptide compared to healthy people (I do), but my pancreas doesnt release enough insulin if I eat too much carbohydrates.
Thats why some (many?) Type 1 diabetics goes for low carb diets, while some goes for vegan, which can be both relatively high or low in carbs, depending on leafy greens, root veggies (got more carbs) or fruits. The logic of high carb vegan direction is to remove the fat from the cells, including liver and pancreas, decreasing your insulin resistance.
Ofcourse, there are opposing views on this, and I know personally Type 1 diabetics that kept eating normally. I cant shake the feeling that you are not giving your body a chance to preserve or maybe even repair the damage. McDougall says Betacells cant be repaired, but Valter Longo has done research/lab tests on mice where they saw revival of the betacells. Ofcourse, this is mice and not a human body, but biology has seemingly an window of oppurtunity. Is it realistic? I dont know. Im not a doctor, and found myself in the hospital, like you in August 2022. So Ive just been consuming as much information as I can, and been using the health services to verify my bloodvalues going in the safe direction.
My hospitals senior physician wanted to put me on Statins due to high LDL and Triglycerides. I suspected it being the effect of a long timeperiod of high bloodsugars, and refused. Went 100% vegan, and 4 weeks later my Triglycerides went from 2.9 (256) to 0.79 (70). LDL went from 3.3 (128) to 2.8 (108). Still not stellar LDL, but I didnt need Statins. Again, Im not a doctor, but just telling my story, as we are the same age and in the same situation.
Hey firstly thank you for sharing this very interesting story and well done to Johan for this amazing transformation! Secondly I'm just puzzled as to how this can happen tbh, it seems as though the pancreas stopped producing insulin (or very little) and then 7 years later has restarted again! This has to be the case otherwise Johan would absolutely have to take some insulin. I can understand why it would be diagnosed as type 1 as the onset was quite sudden with blood sugar of 38 which woudn't be the case with a type 2. A c peptide test would definitely be interesting to see
I'm a type 1 of almost 21 years and in the last few years been managing my diabetes mostly with a very low carb/keto diet, in the gym resistance training consistently, going on walks, running occasionally. I've managed to reduce my hba1c from in the 90's to now around 48. I am fairly dialled in in terms of a healthy lifestyle just like Johan yet being on no insulin isnt imaginable really. When I have just protein it requires insulin. Even if i fast i require background insulin due to dumping of glucose from the liver
Thank you Umar 🙏🏼
Yes indeed it is puzzling. I think maybe Johan has a rare type but that’s only my opinion.
Respect to you for focusing on your health and fitness and keeping that under control 💪🏼 I’m sure there are many ways you’ve benefitted from that and I could only imagine how much worse off you’d be had you not led the lifestyle you’ve led 🙏🏼
As a newly diagnosed Type 1 (August 2022), Ive taken the same direction as you, diet and excercise (both workouts and spending much more time outdoors in nature). Bloodsugar control has improved, and feeling of wellbeing has increased dramatically. I will add that Ive gone 100% raw vegan, as Ive been looking at the issue of inflammation as one of the potential ways of getting my immune response to normalise. All processed food has been removed from my diet 100%. In hindsight, I should have done this many years ago, but no point dwelling over that.
Thanks for sharing your story, and I hope for more information/details in a followup video.
Thank you for sharing 😊 it seems as though you have the same attitude towards being diagnosed as Johan has!
We’ve already done a couple of follow up videos but definitely more to come!
This one was released just yesterday and looks into the changes Johan made to his diet 💪🏼
Check it out if you haven’t already

@@rikkinetic Will do now! Yeah. Needless to say I was quite in the dumpster once I got the diagnosis, but the sluggish feeling I had in the past is completely gone. Not sure if its due to the dramatic shift in diet or that coupled with the sense of purpose that has distracted me from the "victim" trap one easily can fall into. Thanks again.
@@HowardThen what you eat in raw vegan
@@ldelpachi845 Im still exploring the whole food plantbased diet, but I eat basically everything in the vegetable section in the shop, in addition to legumes (Black/kidny beans), Chia&steelcut oats. I try to include the "rainbow" of vegetables, paprikas, kale, broccoli, sprouts etc, the list is long. I subscribe to the approach of Physicians Committee (Dr Bernard), Plantstrong (Esselstyn) and Dr John Mcdougall. There are many other channels of information, but the short answer is basically several salads every day in addition to the legumes and beans.
Still evolving as I learn, both in theory and in the kitchen😉
Based on what was discussed in this video, it does not appear he was a type-1 diabetic, but a Type-2 diabetic. The only way to confirm Type-1 diabetes is with positive antibodies. Currently the only possible way of reversing Type-1 diabetes is through a raw vegan diet.
How do you handle those doctors who claim that type 1 diabetes is incurable without insulin? Clearly, you have done so, but what is the argument you offer to them? Fantastic story by the way!
The doctors here seem to be less concerned about whether he “cured” his type 1 or whether he is a different type and just happy that what he’s done has worked for him!
They seem reluctant to try to put an explanation to what’s happened and instead they just see him as not their concern anymore. I believe that’s just a reflection on how the health system works over here! Doctors have to deal with all sorts of people everyday with various conditions and if someone has gotten to the stage where they no longer need their help then they’re happy to deal with what they’ve got to deal with day to day and pleased it’s one less person to deal with 🤷🏼♂️
I think this is very inspiring. Well done. I'm not a diabetic but I have always pondered why people get it and how you would reverse it, hence why I'm here. :-) Don't listen to the haters. They just want to remain victims.
Thank you 🙏🏼💪🏼
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The liver converts protein and fat into glucose through gluconeogenesis. If you are a type 1 diabetic, you produce no insulin to metabolize that glucose. You'll go into DKA regardless of your exercise routine.
Ok. We need some blood test results here.. This is clearly not the standard case. As a super fit and healthy eating T1, I am not cured. But not to throw shade on this guy. Good on him! Its a great story. This has happened before to a handful of T1's. Some science need to be done to find out why he's different. Why he succeeded where other T1s doing the same thing have failed.
Thanks Tim! I totally agree, this doesn’t seem to be a standard type 1 case although like you, we’ve heard of a handful of others similar!
There definitely needs to be more research and unfortunately the doctors who worked with Johan didn’t seem to want to investigate more as to why this has happened.
Keep up your good work because I’m sure it puts you in a better place than you would be if you didn’t have that level of dedication towards your fitness and nutrition 💪🏼🙏🏼
@@rikkinetic There is definitely something to learn here.
My doctors really dismissed me and did not want to know….. 🤷🏻♂️
He looked like type 2. Can change with lifestyle and diet.
Did he Ave autoantibodies to insulin?or to beta-cells?
Either way, he’s so lean, he is very insulin sensitive.
I wonder if exercise increases his blood sugar?
Exercise does increase my bloodsugar temporarily.
"Diabetes saved my life." That's a line I never thought I'd hear from anyone, ever xD
🙏🏼
Interesting, sadly I hate intense exercise…
I’m curious where your C1 peptides are today!
I would absolutely love to reduce Type One Diabetes I was diagnosed at the age of 60 and then at 61 I was diagnosed with type 1.5… Currently I gain weight easily. I think it’s more Type to. I’m just pissed.
Hang in there! Johan started with one session a week and it was only over several years that he got to this stage with his fitness!
One thing at a time 💪🏼
i am not a doctor but i lived with T1D for about 6 years now and i have done lots of research online and also created a software that counts carbs and also predicts insulin based on previous history , carbs intake and other factors like BMI, and i don't think you where type one, the reasons i don't think you where type one is because
1. you are not with in the typical age range to get T1d
2. type one is when your insulin stops being produced not when the body is resistant (if you some how made your pancreas work again well we need to do lots of research on you because there are many t1d people who are very lean , healthy , muscular , active (runners) ) which still have diabetes which includes me
3. working out makes you high if you don't do it right if you are T1D
no disrespect to you however this is a very sensitive topic for most of the T1D community, because the first phase to start improving your lifestyle is to accept what you have and when there is a false narrative that you can be cured you will want to believe it and if you believe it and try your absolute best and when you most probably don't get the result you have expected you will become distractive you will not accept what you have you will deny it and that will lead to may other complications..
i was told it would be cured by every one around me so i went off of insluin until i almost died and i am a very emotionaly stable person i can imagen some one who is dealing with more things
Thanks for your comment. It’s best to look at this as a case study. Johan WAS diagnosed as type 1 by medical professionals here in the UK. He had to be rushed to hospital with hyperglycaemia and keto-acidosis with a blood sugar of 45 (850-900). He took insulin for 7 years
After making improvements to his health, fitness and nutrition and careful monitoring of his insulin intake and blood sugar after several years he found he no longer needed the insulin.
This may not happen with everyone but it did happen with him. You are welcome to draw your own conclusions about why this happened but this is what happened!
so@@rikkinetic you are saying an autoimmune condition was just cured
if that is the case then a miracle happened
i personally would prefer the title to be type one cured (one in a million case)
so that people don't loss there mind over this!.. if you think this title doesn't make sense then i would prefer it if you could tell me why,
@@tiblends5423 we’re not saying it was cured because we don’t know! We are asking the question! The title is a question.
Unfortunately this is how RUclips works. Many type 1 have seen this who have messaged us with gratitude for seeing this! They’ve been inspired by it and made changes! We’ve had several report back with positive feedback and the reality is those people would likely not have seen this video if it were titled differently.
Sorry if it has not had this affect on you but it is helping many people
@@rikkinetic i am sorry but i think this is a harmful content, and the people who are thankful are not gonna feel so grateful when they are at there absolute max perfect body weight and muscle mass and still get 400+ highs because they worked out at the wrong time of the day..
if you really believe he was cured why has he not donated his blood for research ?
@@tiblends5423 there are lots of people who would disagree with you
We know type 1 sufferers personally and they understand that this might not happen with them but they still continue to keep themselves as fit and as healthy as they can.
This is a similar story to that one from Daniel Darkes. Exercising makes you insulin sensitiv and removes inflammation. Is that a cure?
Yes it is similar. Johan has been following his progress for many years now as I believe they both stopped injecting around about the same time?
Ah yes that is a very good question!
@@rikkinetic What about inflammation coming from the food? I've been listening to Dr. Robert Lustig and I'm impressed with his knowledge. Maybe inflammation is a root cause of T1D? He hints that excess of omega-6 oils, sugars and wheat proteins in SAD makes permanent inflammation in the body.
From what I understand inflammation has a big part to play and I believe inflammation can come from or at least be exacerbated by food!
When we really started looking at Johan’s food the main goal was to “clean it up” and we did that by working from principles that I have worked from based on what I’ve learnt and from how the food seem to affect Johan and his sugar levels. Making changes based on what we found from our regular measurements.
We reduced processed carbs and increased protein and “good” fats from good sources.
Our main goal was just to get Johan to optimal health through fitness and diet. We didn’t expect him to get to the stage where he no longer needed to inject.
@@rikkinetic Our kids are permanently in danger if you consider the amount of added sugars in the diary, inflammators like High Fructose Corn Sirup. No wonder that some of them gets T1D. That's scary!
He’s probably a LADA- diabetes type 1.5
I believe you were type 1 and I have heard similar stories of reverse. Thanks for your courage
🙏🏼
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey there I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1993 at the age of 14 and have always been a pretty fit and relatively healthy. Congratulations with not taking insulin and your health and fitness. I would do just about anything for a cure for type 1 Diabetes but I do know it doesn’t matter how fit I am I still need to take my Insulin every morning afternoon and night. I found out that pretty quickly when I was diagnosed I would eat a piece of cake 🍰 then jump in the exercise bike and start riding away lols 😂 Guess what 🙀 I still had high blood sugars maybe not as high but still enough to have to take more insulin. Anyways good luck on your journey with or without Diabetes everyone, I hope someone got something out of this… regards type 1 Shane 😊
Thank you Shane 🙏🏼
Yes we found with Johan the weight training seem to especially make a difference in controlling his blood sugar levels. And of course changing his diet played a huge part.
Even if a type 1 has an optimum training regime and optimum diet they still may have to take insulin. Like I say in the video, maybe Johan has been lucky, but he does everything within his power to be as healthy as he can 💪🏼
Thanks again for your input
Thank you Shane! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow, Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed in 1978 2nd October @ 7 years of age with at the time was called, Childhood onset diabetes. I then while still in hospital prayed into the bible. I opened the bible randomly at Matthew 4, when Jesus was tempted by the devil. needs reading to comprehend the message I found. Which was if I eat nothing then diabetes will go away as the body heals. Now this was my thoughts as a 7 year old boy who was already unheard by adults at the time. But the information you have here is tremendous and please could You help me? As my body is falling apart quicker as time passes. Thank you again, David.
Awareness loves life, God bless you and Johan.
Thank you David
We’ll help any way we can
Nice done!! I know plenty of type 1 cured ..but we dont see frequently in media..Ty to share your story!! inspiration wonderful!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Did they do it on a plant based diet?
@@fenuku42No, just low carb and about 10 hours of training per week. 💪🏻👊🏻
Increíble how these doctors make mistakes and misdiagnose patients. That's how people suddenly die without explantation. Glad for him 100%. Don't feel guilty brother. You were type 2 and they put you on insulin by mistake. You got leaner and healthier not expecting this and thank God you did.
I am a lifelong resident of the USA. I don't know much about the UK. Having skimmed the comments I would say if his doctor(s) won't even do currently available tests that others here are aware of and asking about then what are the chances that he is going to be referred to a university or pharmaceutical company fir research if is case is some one in a million situation? I only finally got a c-peptide done by an Endocrinologist because I read about it and "asked" for it to be done. No, I don't think he/u 2 are scammers trying to sell false hope but if his own doctors have no interest in pursuing the matter then I guess it will remain speculation/a mystery.
i know exactly what you went through
Awesome dude 💪🏻😳
Thank you 🙏🏼💪🏼
There no way your full fledged type one. What was your c peptide? In any case it's still the best thing you can do for type one (and type 2 but..)! I am a type one since 3 yrs of age and I am 50 now, so far from both cardio and weights I've got completely off of blood pressure meds. Blood pressure before was 160-180 and with meds about 130-140, now without meds and just exercise my last one was 116/74. My insulin resistance is disappearing, I've reduced my long acting insulin by almost 40% and halved my quick acting. The ks to Richard Bernstein I've also got my average hba1c down to 4.6%. my diet is largely meat and eggs so the bulk of which is protein and a good amount of fats (not vegetable oils). Diet, exercise and diluting insulin while not a cure, you receive all the benefits as if you have been cured.
Thanks Shaun, Johan’s definitely is a rare case and certainly doesn’t seem to be typical Type 1!
Well done yourself for the changes and improvements you’ve made. That’s the main message we wanted to get across from the video, making positive changes to your own health and fitness can improve all sorts of different areas of your life, and you’ve also shown that 💪🏼
Keep up the good work!
GUYS YOUR NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS IM 2 days without taking insulin!!! Sugar levels dropping naturally!!!! You inspired me to push as hard as I can!!!!!!!!! And the results are here!!!!!
Happy to hear it Marco! Hopefully it’s just the start 💪🏼
Monitor everything as you go and be patient would be my advice.
You’ve made a start, just try to stay consistent and focus on the things you have control over! Hopefully everything else will start to improve with it
Marco, that is awesome! I’m sooo happy to hear that!
Now just keep going! 💪🏻👊🏻
how you did it. can you explain?
@ldelpachi845 are you asking Johan or @marcoruiz8313?
@@ldelpachi845 First faith…then strict diet…heavy resistance training before and after meals…and a a lot of cardio!!! Cold showers through out the day help to…also sleeping with the sun (healthy sleeping patterns) organic vitamins supplements you can find at Whole Foods..Iv been eating high carb meals here and there and still noticing spikes have to take 1/2 units of fast acting insulin…but more then a 95% reduction rate on insulin intake only if I eat high carb..with salad and protein I don’t have to take any at all…but the progress is there!! I just have to keep pushing..I give myself another 6months before I cut it out completely..I was 7 days no insulin before I tried to eat a bowl of noodles 🍜

Hi Rikki, is Johan back in Cape Town? His story is phenomenal!
Hi, no Johan still currently lives in the south of England
🙏🏼
My son would love to watch more of him from Cape town. Does he have a RUclips account
@@hermes537 he doesn’t no
He is on Instagram
My 9yrs old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes two days ago. It’s hard to process it all. But stumbling across your video gives some hope and insight. Do you have a diet plan?
I’ll link a video below that may help but it’s just what Johan has so not necessarily a diet plan!
All I would say is be mindful of the carbs in the diet and try to avoid/limit high GI foods. When carbs are consumed try to get proteins and good fats in there too.
I can imagine it’s tough. Take it one step at a time and I’m sure you’ll be ok. It sounds as though she’ll be in good hands given the fact you’ve already started looking for the best ways to stay healthy alongside the medications she would have been prescribed. 🙏🏼
Has Nutrition Cured My Type 1 Diabetes?
ruclips.net/video/z7hykgHIcKI/видео.html
Of course you are not Type 1 diabetic. There must be some insulin production in your body or you would get into DKA sooner or later. (It is not a matter of diet).
Yes, there is now.
But for over 7 years, I produced no insulin and was completely insulin dependant! 🤷🏻♂️
Sir I want to ask does testosterone affects your insulin or it has to do something for it
I can only speculate that Johan’s testosterone levels would have increased since he started paying attention to his fitness and nutrition!
The type of workouts he does is said to help testosterone production. Whether that has had an effect on his insulin production I couldn’t say! May Johan knows more??
@@rikkineticI’m pretty sure that my testosterone levels have increased. Not sure if this has any effect on my insulin.
It's very difficult to believe a type 1 diabetic can be healthy without injecting insulin. Perhaps he has found a long term honeymoon phase and the requirement for insulin will eventually return as the autoimmune disorder progresses and kills off the beta cells. Perhaps he caught it early enough and converted to an extremely low carb diet that doesn't tax the body to produce much insulin, prolonging the inevitable. It's very very difficult to believe this story at face value. No doubt a healthy diet and exercise go a long way to aiding in the treatment of t1d, but total insulin independence seems physically impossible.
Hi Jacob
What you say may turn out to be true, we just don’t know, time will tell on that one!
I can assure though that it is true, unbelievable as it may seem!
We’re hoping this case can lead to more research and perhaps ask more questions of type 1 diabetes than it answers!
Hi Jacob,
Yes, perhaps my body did find a long term honeymoon phase. Who knows?
All I know is that my current lifestyle seems to work for me and I’m 100% committed to keep it going as long as I can and for as long as it works.
What if I did catch it early and some of my beta cells were still alive, enough to regenerate, almost like transplanting healthy beta cells? 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for your comment. 🙏🏼
@@johankotze7080 Years ago I saw a report that in mice whose beta cells had degenerated or reduced in number due to being on a high fat diet, were able to re-new the beta cells when they were given chromium in the diet.
And I imagine that the life-style changes and the diet changes you made may have have re-set your inflammatory/immune dys-regulated condition which might have been the cause of beta cell degeneration and hence reduced insulin production. Both exercise and a low carb/fat and high veg/salad diet can overhaul the GIT microbiome. A disturbed GIT microbiome is believed to play a big role in systemic auto immune disease.
Well done to you and Rikki!
this is awesome, well done. i think his beta cells started replicating so quiuckly, thus healing his body so fast because he didnt have to use phara insulin for very long. i think thats the biggest issue in healing. pharasutical insulin is poison, but we either take it or die. 🤷🏽♀️ i read from GNM that when your blood sugar spikes, it is your body's response in attempting to heal itself. but once we give insulin to make our blood sugar come back down it interrupts the healing phase. i imagine it will be harder to cure someone, like myself, whos been on insulin 20 years. i believe it can be done and theres already studies coming out where fasting and diet cause your b cells to replicate, thus repairing your pancreas. i know people who have healed a handful of diabetics through diet and lifestyle change. im genuinly so happy for him and his family.
Thank you Breanna Lynn 🙏🏼 we wish you well in your pursuit of optimal health 💪🏼
I had no idea pharma insulin was poison :( Could you explain why please?
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm t1d and yes you can lose all diabetes
🙏🏼💪🏼
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nope.
You looked like you were a Type 2. Now there are Type 2s that go so long without diagnosis and treatment that they turn into Type 1s. But that's not the same thing as the typical skinny, Type 1 (low to no insulin production).
Hi EvolveYourself,
Within the 10 days since my symptoms started and me ending up in hospital with a bs of over 45 and diabetic keto-acidosis, I had lost at least 3kg without being on any diet.
Why the question mark ❓ I cured T1D ❓ in the title it should be a ! If it was true
Yes there is a question mark because it is a question?
because it's total bullshit. He wasn't type 1. look at the conversation above with @alexandermilligan978
1 year ago
That amazing but i am type 1 and for sure i can't be cured because im already very low carb, doing a lot of exercice and if i stop taking my insulin my glycemia explode to the roof... Maybe you got a problem with your pancreas for a time and your new routine changed it, to my point my beta cells producing insulin are dead, maybe they was not dead for you ! Happy for you ! DT1 is a terrible disease...
Yes from what we’ve learned from Johan’s case and speaking to others it seems there are varying degrees of severities!
Good for you for being dedicated to managing your food and your exercise! I’m sure you’ve gotten many other benefits from doing so even if it hasn’t “cured” your type 1. 🙏🏼💪🏼
Even though I do acknowledge and respect the hard work Johan put in to change his life the titel of this video is provocing to me as a type-1 diabetic.
As I understand it you can´t cure type-1 diabetic if you have zero insulin producing beta cells in your pancreas left.
For me I'm 61 years old, type-1 since 2007, just as fit as Johan, on a zero carb carnivore diet, does the detailed diary with all stats for years and years, and I still have to inject insulin. Long term and short term. For sure not large dosis but still.
So it's annoying to say the least to read this title.
Yes you can live with type-1 diabetes and not inject insulin if you still have a little insulin production left.
That's a totally different thing from actually curing this disease.
Thank you for sharing! We need to learn more from others and their experiences.
Ultimately we are asking questions? Did Johan cure HIS type 1? We don’t know, we are sharing his story and hopefully helping others by doing so!
We understand that not everyone will have the same results as Johan. You yourself seek to do what you can by the way of fitness and nutrition to help your situation and that is admirable and in my opinion is the right way to go about things!
The title is somewhat of a necessary evil, the truth is, if it were not for this title you probably wouldn’t have seen this video and heard of Johan’s story and that would be the case for many others too who have benefited from seeing it.
It’s important to hear other people’s stories so we all can learn about diabetes because it seems there is still much to learn about it. Thank you for sharing your story because it shows that Johan’s case is rare and whilst it might be rare we are sure it can’t be totally unique. It’s maybe those people who fall in to the same category as Johan who will benefit most from finding this video and now they have your input too to help them make more informed decisions for the future 😊
Thanks again
@@rikkinetic Thanks for your reply, but once again: You write: -"Ultimately we are asking questions? Did Johan cure HIS type 1? We don’t know, we are sharing his story and hopefully helping others by doing so!"
No, Johan did not cure his type-1 diabetes. Nobody does. We do know this. Your statement is misleading and as such doesn't benefit those of us who seek to optimize our health despite having type-1 diabetes.
I would've found your video either way. I'm looking for more info about how I as a type-1 diabetic WITHOUT insulin production is affected by all the factors that determine exactly how many units of each insulin I need at any given moment.
You see with a person like Johan who still has a insulin production matters are infinitely easier than for those of us who have zero insulin production left.
If you want to help you need to get your facts in order. This is not rocket science and your title is still misleading and false.
As I said before unfortunately this video might not help all type 1 sufferers but there are some who would be in the same situation as Johan found himself in and therefore can benefit from this.
Maybe you would have found this video had it been titled differently but there are others who wouldn’t
Thanks again for your input, I hope you can find what you’re looking for
Did you not listen carefully? They never ever said this would cure ALL type-1 diabetics. Did they ever say this? In fact they specifically disclaimed that. All they do is present a single case, that demonstrates that at least one, if not possibly others, might benefit from the changes that Johan and Rikki made to overcome his diabetes. It is important to understand that even with type-1 diabetes, not all case are stereo typical. Auto immune associated destruction of the beta cells, is often typically inexorable, and certainly would be hastened by a careless lifestyle and inflammatory diet. On the other hand there could be some (perhaps rare) cases where the auto immune process slows down or even stops and beta cell regeneration can take place. And this would be more likely to happen with the kinds of changes Rikki and Johan implemented, it certainly would never have happened had he not changed his life. One thing is for sure, if you follow the recommendations of the traditional American diabetes Association you're not going to have the best outcome, as Dr Richard Bernstein has documented in his many books and talks.
Well said 🙏🏼 thank you for adding your thoughts. I hope others can see this video for what it is or at least what we are hoping it to be. We’re just hoping it can help in some way
Thats why in the title the put a question mark, because the know this is not a fact, just for views..false marketing
You are correct! It’s not a fact! It is a question!
I was diagnosed at age 51, was always super fit but ate what I wanted when I wanted, after being diagnosed I completely changed my diet from day 1.
I also think I'm not a "true" type 1 diabetic, where my body does produce a tiny bit of insulin, enough to negate taking the long acting stuff, indeed taking the long acting stuff just means I've got to constantly eat all day so I stopped taking that, still take the fast acting as I will get sugar spikes if I don't, being diagnosed type 1 also saved my life, but being type1 means I can't overdo training, my blood sugar will drop through the floor and I'll be passed out with a heartrate of 280 cold sweating like a nun in a brothel.
I think there's a massive scale to do with the pancreas not producing any insulin, the pancreas producing some insulin, and the pancreas being hindered from producing insulin due to varied amounts of insulin resistance, it's not a case of some can restore their normal body function, it's more a case that some never will and never can, so when stating you've cured "YOUR" T1 diabetes, the only people who should think that's applicable to "THEIR" T1 diabetes, are people who have EXACTLY the same thing going on in their body, and how the hell do we figure that out...
If diabetes was simple, there'd be a cure, at the end of the day in a perfect world THERE WON'T BE A CURE!, there'll be 100's of cures that all deal with the 100's of different types of diabetes, putting all those into two categories' has always been an oversimplification of the problem.
Thanks Fergus, I agree it seems that there are likely many different “types” of diabetes therefore there will be many different successful ways to treat or cure it!
You’ve correctly spotted from the title that the “MY” indicates it’s not a cure for the whole. It’s only what has seemingly worked for Johan.
We hope you keep up your healthy habits and stay on top of YOUR diabetes 🙏🏼💪🏼
@@rikkinetic yeah it's a bit of a minefield, many people are in dire situations with diabetes due to having poor healthcare systems and struggle every day due to lack of education on the subject, where much of their information comes from the internet and a bunch of quack doctors.
I run 50miles a week and cycle, lots of walking, avoid sugary foods, and eat foods in a certain order.
I think exercise helps with the vast majority of diabetics in regard reducing their insulin resistance, I personally see diabetes as nothing more than... "I drive a stick shift, whilst everyone else drives an automatic" but also recognize that I have an excellent national healthcare system in Scotland and without that things would be pretty bleak where the words "diabetes" and "cure" are the only things people in such a situation will see. so there's literally no way to avoid criticism if those words are chosen.
there'll be plenty of instances of people who don't take any insulin and combat their diabetes through exercise and diet, but they're only negating the need to take insulin, they're not cured, they're diabetics. So to people like them a video like this is just going to trigger them, it makes sense, and makes sense to them that physical activity isn't a cure.
Spot on Fergus!
Thank you for your comments. 🙏🏼
@@rikkinetic, there are two diabetes kinds. Diabetes Insipidus that has nothing to do with sugar in your blood and diabetes mellitus that has to do everything with sugar level in your blood. Diabetes Mellitus can be type one or type two. That’s it. There are no more types.
Are you sure there’s only two types?
That’s very final!
umm type 1 Diabetic? hmm. I was diagnosed at 13 didn't eat poor, like amazing diet my whole life, no one in family had it. not even type 2. I'm 32 NOW. the beginning of this doesn't make a difference.
We accept that what has happened to Johan is likely not to happen to everyone!
There are many type 1’s out there that exercise as hard and as regular as him and have been as dedicated at working to get their diet as good as they can like him and yet still have to inject and that is unfortunate.
Total respect to anyone who does do this and is dedicated and disciplined like Johan is.
If you make your decisions based around you being as healthy as you can be and you do all
you can to get that, then well done to you. That is admirable and you’ll be better off for it!
Not everyone will get the same results as Johan but if they’re doing all they can then there should be comfort in that 🙏🏼
Keep up your good work!
Looking at the the third photo at 3:10. No way you will get traps like that as natural. Steroids also elicit a reduction in body fat (shrink-wrapping) evident in 6 pack. The bigger pecs, fuller shoulders and forearms are however doable as a natty. Notice the flab around and below the abs definitely does not look natural as we see compared to the second photo.
Ha ha I’m sure Johan would be flattered by that!
This is not the look of someone on steroids but we’ll take that as a compliment 💪🏼
The “flab” below the abs is due to when he had to inject the insulin
I watched your video and 1) congratulations always, on reversing your type 2*** diabetes. Always important to understand that type 1 is 100% insulin dependent no matter what you diet or excessive level is.
Only a type 2 can reverse their condition with diet and exercise.
He is correct, people do not get ride of type 1 because an actual type 1 cannot cure it.
It’s important to distinguish a type 2 who is insulin dependent and a type 1.
He was and always will be a type 2… meaning, one day when he is very old and on the down hill slope of life, his predisposition may come back in a later time.
Just… please be aware of the distinction.
Thanks April Showers!
We are aware there may be a day when Johan has to inject again but until then he will continue to do all the things that has gotten him to his current health status.
Please see the other comments we had and the discussions that have taken place here. I’d be going over much the same points as I have before!
The one thing I will repeat though is IF Johan was misdiagnosed (because after all he WAS diagnosed as type 1) then there is a good chance many other people out there will be in a similar situation to the one Johan faced! Therefore it’s those people who can maybe benefit from seeing this!
Along with hopefully, some “true” type 1’s too!
We have had many type 1’s reach out to us after seeing this video and hearing Johan’s story so whilst some people may not accept what has happened to Johan, many others have drawn inspiration from it.
Thanks again
Thank you April.
For 7 years I WAS 100% insulin dependent. Then something happened in my body and it started producing insulin again.
Do we simply ignore those 7 years as if it never happened? What if, just maybe, we as humans have been so conditioned to believe that there is no cure and never will be. Unless we’re open to believe that there might well be a cure, there never will be…….
Years ago, people believed that there was no cure for cancer and today, sooo many cancers can be cured, because some people did not allow themselves to believe what society was telling them.
@@rikkinetic "The one thing I will repeat though is IF Johan was misdiagnosed (because after all he WAS diagnosed as type 1) then there is a good chance many other people out there will be in a similar situation to the one Johan faced!

There is also a good chance that many people are NOT misdiagnosed, and selling them a delusion is extremely harmful, and can be even deadly.
so you dont take insulin
Correct, he hasn’t injected since 2017
Correct
@@johankotze7080 hey i was thinking what will happen if i reduce my insulin by working out after every meal. what effect you think it Would have
No idea to be honest!
Initially I needed more insulin when I was working out. My muscles needed the sugar for energy, but there was no insulin to carry the sugar from my blood to my muscles. As a result my liver started producing glucagon, pushing more sugar into my blood, in an attempt to supply my muscles with energy, but there was still no insulin to carry the sugar to the muscles. I ended up with high bs at the end of every workout, so I started to eat a long/slow acting carb, like a banana and injected 2 units of Novorapid before each workout. This worked a treat and kept my blood sugar fairly stable.
I stopped doing this when I stopped injecting insulin, as I also noticed that even if my bs went up during the workout, it would normally come down again within 2 hours after the workout.
Hope this helps.
Yeah I would just say monitor your blood sugar levels closely as that’s what we did!
There was a time where Johan took a reading of his blood sugar levels 2 or 3 times during every PT session! That was primarily what we went on. After every meal he took his blood sugar and it was only after several months of doing this that we started to notice patterns and then we could act according!
So just be very vigilant as to how your food and training is affecting you
My belief is Type 1 is a spectrum. There are some unlucky people whose B cells have been totally destroyed and if they did what Johan did they would get tremendous benefit but they can never get off some Insulin--they can reduce it a lot but if they are producing zero insulin they will need insulin. Then there are type I s where losing weight getting rid of fatty liver and fatty pancreas and autophagy and anti-inflammatory effect of fasting can allow B cell recovery. The LADA patients are more likely to be able to achieve this than the Type 1 s with sudden onset when they are really young.. Nothing is black and white. There are certainly cases of type I confirmed with fasting insulin, C Peptide, and antibodies (blood tests) that have reversed there Type I diabetes. Not every type I can do this but virtually every type II can ! It would be interesting to know Johan's C peptide and fasting Insulin while he had diabetes and compare them with now!
Yes that’s what seems to be the situation from what we’ve seen with Johan and what we’ve heard from several other people and some medical professions - it’s not as clear as just being type 1 and type 2!
Thank you for sharing.
I know Johan still takes his blood sugar regularly so he might have an idea as to how much it’s changed!
@ TopgunB Well said, I think you have summarized it well.
Hi Rikki Sir
Ha ha ☺️ hello 🙏🏼
@@rikkinetic why are you laughing at me Rikki sir? I came here to see your figure and determination Rik Sir
Thank you I appreciate that! I’m just doing what I can to improve myself and my knowledge and apply what knowledge I have to help people who seek my help 🙏🏼
Sincere appreciation to doctor Igudia on RUclips, who prepared and sent me his natural Herbs medication which cured my Diabetes completely
So everyone understands, he was NOT a true type 1 diabetic. He was misdiagnosed.
Im type 1 and i agree with you. That dangerous to say to real DT1 to try stopping insulin, because it can damage your body and kill you. You should never stop insulin, if you want to try something, try decrease your daily dose little by little.
Only realistic comment here. I'm a T1D for more than 15 years now... Carnivore is starting to help me manage T1D better than I've ever witnessed before. Believing that you can get off Insulin if you are truly a T1D means that you either don't understand T1D's or you were misdiagnosed. No amount of exercise or health diets/foods will help you reverse T1D's. It can help you manage them and I recommend anyone truly suffering from T1D (or type 2 for that matter as it is reversable) to research Keto at least but Carnivore diet at best IMO.
Yes. This comment section is terrifying with folks not understanding this basic medical fact of what type 1 actually is. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle are definitely super important for everyone, type 1, type 2 and non diabetics alike; however, being a type 1 diabetic means you'll be taking insulin for the rest of your life. You can't exercise your way out of T1D.
EXACTLY!! He was clearly misdiagnosed.
Wasblooking for this
You never were a type 1. Congratulations!
So I guess through exercise your pancreas that was dead will come back to life. haha
He definitely had type 2🤦♂️🤣
This sounds like a potential eating ddisorder and exercise bulemia for some people. Glad it's working for you, but your disease is being managed by extreme food choices and an exercise regimen that is in control of life. Ive done this before, looked great, mentally the worst thing to happen to me.
Eating disorder? We’ve worked hard to find foods that are HEALTHY for Johan! And to
use a food pun - the proof is in the pudding!
He wouldn’t get the results he’s got (coming off virtually all medication, not just insulin) if his nutrition was unhealthy!
I would say his food is in good order.
To do the amount of exercise he does he needs to eat good food that will provide him with the calories and nutrients his body needs for such a regime!
Thank you for interacting Jerri, I would encourage you to watch the follow up videos

Thank you
@@rikkinetic Redistricting foods is a major part of an eating disorder, I remember being ultra fit, low body fat percentage, eating ultra low fat vegetable and protein diet, and being in the grips of profound excercise bulemia. This may be working for 1 person, but out if the thousands and thousands of fit, diet restrictive diabetics... they all still have to give insulin. If this really worked, it'd be published in every scientific journal on the planet.
It’s not restricting foods! It’s managing a eating regime, there is a big difference!
With respect it’s extremely difficult to understand how Johan lives his life. A 15 minute video is only a snapshot of what goes on! Johan HAS to consume a good amount of calories. How can that be regarded as restrictive!
He wouldn’t have been able to sustain his physique nor his active lifestyle for well over 6/7 years IF he was on a restricted diet!
I think maybe you’re comparing it to your situation and to me it sounds slightly different!
I’ll let Johan speak for himself but I believe he enjoys a good balance in life and whilst exercise is a big part of his life, it’s not in control of it!
He still finds time for his family, he recently became a Grandad, and he finds time for his work. He has no problem telling ME when he needs a rest from exercise and can’t do his sessions!
He’s made a lot of friends since starting fitness and it has become part of his social life.
@@rikkinetic Absolutely 100%!
I feel I have a very healthy balance between training, eating healthily (with plenty of treats), work, family and social life.
Bottom line: I enjoy what I’m doing and the positive results on my health far outweigh the negative (if any!)
I thought there is no cure for diabetes.
What did you think of the video and Johan’s story?
@@rikkinetic Well he does claim that he cured it. But I have heard that you can only put it into remission in case if you are a type-2 diabetic and not type-1.
@@mrunknown7714 we are not claiming he’s cured it, we’re just telling his story
Please change the title of this video. He is not a type 1 diabetic and never was.
Complete remission of type 1 is super, super rare; so your story isn't 100% impossible, but the info presented in this video points to the idea that you were type 2 and not 1. You wouldnt cure type 1 through lifestyle changes, that would be type 2. People who go through complete remission of type 1 are basically just lucky. Ive read alot of case studies about type 1 remission and it just happens randomly and even with ppl who are managing their type 1 very poorly
Thanks Eric
Yes we’d like the diabetes community to see this as just that, a case study! We can’t say why this has happened but only what we’ve done up to the point of it happening and what we’ve continued to do after it’s happened. And again, like we’ve said in the video, maybe Johan has just been lucky but he has experienced lots of other health benefits aside from the diabetes through changing his lifestyle in regards to his fitness and nutrition. We ultimately hope that’s the message that comes through
Thanks again for your insight
How to gain weight with type 1 diabetes
Are you asking how to gain muscle as a type 1 diabetic?
Yes
Weight training and increase your calories 💪🏼
Carefully monitor everything and constantly check calorie intake and BS levels
Extra calories should come from especially protein and maybe good fats
But like I said, monitor everything as you go - keep a check on weight and adjust things weekly that need to be adjusted
If BS levels go up too much, cut back on the carbs - if weight doesn’t increase, add an extra couple of hundred calories to your daily intake.
It’ll take as much work on the paper as it will in the gym 🖊️💪🏼
For a type 1 patients is there any chance of producing insulin again in pancreas
I can only say what happened to
Johan
He was diagnosed Type 1 but got to the stage a number of years later where he no longer needs to inject as it currently stands!
He may have a rare type of Type 1 or a different type altogether
It’s possible there’s more than just two types
Thank you Rikki Walden Fitness, my daughter is 24 years old and 19 years old with diabetes mellitus type 1, she also has insulin resistance and multiple complications due to metabolic decontrol, for which it is extremely irresponsible to present a case where it is stated that a patient went into remission only with exercise after years with type 1 diabetes, since this can only be possible in type 2 diabetes… I am a Diabetes Educator and with 19 years of experience with my patient 24 hours a day and using the dexcom as glucose monitor that I highly recommend because it is the best, after trying other hands-free…. I can only advise all people with type one diabetes that cardiovascular exercises are ideal, no weights or bodybuilding because they would put themselves at risk and take care of their diet forever, eliminating industrialized products and do not believe in energy drinks or special food supplements for diabetics because they are a fraud!
Hello Sara, thank you for your valuable input 😊 if you’ve found things that have worked in your experience then that’s great and why wouldn’t you keep doing that!
I would like to reiterate that anything we changed with Johan regarding his fitness/nutrition/lifestyle was done over a long period of time and everything was carefully monitored along the way. We made adjustments only after seeing how he responded. We gradually did more of what was seemingly working and tried to keep guess work to a minimum. No chances were taken and everything was meticulously done!
We understand that not everyone will respond the way Johan did and with that being said I would urge anyone NOT TO MAKE ANY RADICAL CHANGES too hastily and any changes you do make should be carefully monitored!
Thank you for drawing attention to this 😊🙏🏼
Keep up the good work 💪🏼
Dear Sara, as I have said before, I fail to understand how telling my story, exactly as it happened, can be irresponsible and or harmful to anyone. Whether I was misdiagnosed as type 1, when perhaps it should’ve been type 1,5 is irrelevant. I’m telling the world what doctors/ specialist endocrinologists told me. How you interpret that is entirely up to you. Bottom line is, I have lived as a type 1 diabetic for 7 years and then my body started to produce insulin again.
Watch Rikki’s other videos on the topic.
Times used to be very Challenging, I had the worst days of my life living with type 2 diabetes, I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, You have restored me my life that was lost already . Thank you so much for curing me of my diabetes with your natural Herbs 😊
