Please take care of your feet sooner rather than later. That swelling is typically referred to as edema, you get blister and they pop because your body cannot get the fluid out. Then layer of skin slough off creating n open wound which can get infected, which I’m sure you know is really bad for us diabetics.
Look up glycemic index on foods you eat, some foods turn to sugar->then fat (if not used for energy right away). High index foods can make your sugar # go up. Start simple, cut out a lot of carbs - like don’t eat the whole bun on a burger, only eat the bottom (of course it’s better to not eat the bun at all, but baby steps.) Eat most of your carbs in the am so,you have all day to burn the, off, try to eat proteins and veges at night (no carbs). It’s hard man, but we want you here on this planet longer! It’s a beautiful world with a Jeffie Bear!
I reversed my type 2 with low carb and keto, I check my blood every day now and I’m always in the good zone. Jeffie should look up Dr Jason Fung on here, I have his 2 books, The Diabetic Code and The Obesity Code. My gran never sorted her diabetes out and her legs were amputated too. I thought ‘nope, not happening to me’ and I sorted it out. Low carb is easier to do than keto, so I make sure I never go over 100g carb a day, that suits me
Oh Jeffie, I feel so badly for you. Hope that after the clinic visit,you will be on the road to recovery. Praying for you.
Take care of yourself sweet JeffieBear!
Praying for you!🙏❤️🙏❤️
Take care of yourself Jeff! Thank you for the beautiful scenery!
So sorry about your health issues but please take care of yourself and get your feet sorted out. 👍
I also have Diabetic foot pain. very very hard to live with. love and light Jeffie Bear. Carbs are in everything for the most part and it's not easy to cut it all out. as a prediabetic they prescribed me Metformin its helped but summer is my deadline to be off of all the big parm meds. Don't be embarrassed our society did this to us, we now must fix ourselves.
We love you jeffie ,you're a star 🌟
So gorgeous water fall clips
I'm a right below knee amputee since 2013 because of diabetes.
If you can't reach your feet use a mirror to see bottom and get help to keep them good. On my good leg I use a compression sock to keep swelling down. It's not fun. But I do what I have to do.
Bless you Jeffie😘😘😘
Jeffie feel better soon, love watching all your videos ❤️🙏
Wishing you all the best in all you do. God bless
wishing you the best. knowing you are in hospital now. Hang tight
Praying all goes well for you ♥
Your video's are stepping up and beautiful Jeffie 💜 Just sayin, you have been eating alot of the Chinese buffet lol. Lot's of sodium in there. Much love from Texas y'all 💜
Sorry to hear this.praying for you 🙏
I am new to your channel. Love to see your adventures. My dad had diabetes. Very hard disease on the body. Make sure you take care of those wounds. I have circulation issues and legs are bad to. So I can relate. It's great to see you though out there doing what you love. Take care of you!!🍻🍻CHEERS 🙂
Stay safe buddy, and take good care of yourself.
Dont let your blisters get too bad like i and they were tunneling in side my foot, i had a infection in the bone on the side of my foot and i had two operations,and lost my little toe and about 2inchs of bone,park your van some where safe foe a while........
Wish ya all the best🥰
So cool to visit new places
Get your feet checked Jeffie...stay blessed
I am sorry that you are having trouble with the feeling and stuff with your feet. Circulation is one of the problems diabetic patients.
Love You's Jeffie Bear, get help NOW!
Hey buddy… I’m not one to tell anyone what to do , but …. Have you thought about eliminating beef and pork ? White breads and buns ? YES it’s very hard to do , but I have it up , I’m mostly on salads fruits and veggies, I am not a diabetic, but I have kidney issues. 6 years ago ,I got gout, and man oh man , the pains that I had … DR stole me to give up beef and pork & I have and no more white bread and buns …. I no longer get gout ( I also take a pill for that )
I’ve learned to like beyond meats … I add onions and pickles , mayo, mustard… just to help with taste …. I wish you nothing but the best . Please take care.
PS I wish I was living in a van 🚐
That’s what I wanted to do when I retired, but too many medical issues knocked that out of the park
What does gout feel like?
Hi Jeffie, I'm a 70 year old diabetic lady. It's been 5 years now and I know exactly how you feel. It's so hard to change your eating habits but, sadly, we have to, to live. I, too, am so sick of doctors! I know, it's hard and I'm sorry you're going through it. But you're a strong guy and I know you can do it. We all want you to keep filming for a long, long time. Good luck, my friend.
Yes. You are right. Mr. Jeff has to change his eating habits. Try to walk more. May be start slowly and gradually increase. Need to loose weight, it will decrease the insulin use, also take care of kidney function. Wishing him good luck and keep up with this. May God keep him healthy.
@@HelloWorld-tn5pt Jeff went to the hospital. He is scheduled for amputation of both legs.
@@joybeekingston6472 omg. May God help him.
@@joybeekingston6472 yes very sad hope he ok prayer for him
Should have fasted for about 40 to 60 days. On nothing but water and green tea.
Sorry for the issues on your feet mr. Jeffie. Please try and take care okay. We want to keep seeing you on the road and sharing with us👍🏻😃
Lots of people you've never met care about you, Jeff. We'll be praying¡
Jeffrey Bear, you need to take of your feet. My mother was a diabetic and she started getting blisters and sores on her feet. She didn't tell anybody and gangrene set in. She almost lost her feet. But the infection deformed her feet. She couldn't wear shoes anymore -only slippers. Let your doctor check you out.
Sorry to hear about your health issues. I know those darn feet can be problematic for diabetics. Jeff, you MUST take care of them. Too damn many folks end up losing a leg up to the knee over problems that start in the feet. There's medication you can take for the neuropathy you have. I will continue to wish you good health, friend.
True. My late husbands dad lost both his legs from the knees down due to diabetes. Then it took his life at age 45. So young I never got to meet him.
Hey there! Yes, please any with Diabetic issues, always check feet/toes & other, along with frequent follow ups. Take care of yourself friend ! All have a wonderful safe day!! Enjoy the scenery! Good for mind, body ❤️ From: USA 🇺🇸/ PA ✌🏼😊
We love you Jeffie, please take care of you. I have terminal cancer, trust me I know the frustrations of constant treatment and Drs and hospital visits and I hate it. But I love my family and I want to stay here with them. You are our family Jeffie, please do what you need to do. Your daughters and Grands need you the same as mine need me. We need you too. The world needs more people like you.❤️🙏 Hope the feet feel better soon. Thanks for all you do for people.
God bless your hear I will pray for you Julie
God bless you! 💗🛐🙏💞⛪
Best wishes and prayers to you and your family
@Julie Baxter, will also keep you in my prayers
You should be doing prolonged fasting with time restrictive 20hr/4hr feeding window only eating beef lamb and animals in the same family. Keep atleast a 2:1 fat to protein ratio with as close to 0 carbs per day. eggs, broccoli. A half serving of Macadamia nuts per day. Fermented foods will also heal your bacterial flora in your gut making it more diverse.
I feel your pain I don’t have diabetes but have osteoarthritis in my left hip and 2 knees along with spondylitis , I’m 48 been suffering since I was 40 , you are an inspiration along with the rest of your awesome buddies you help me escape my pain when I’m watching your videos as I’m completely house bound , please take care Jeffie , love from Scotland 🏴 xx
My Aunt lived in Sooke, so I know where you were driving. It has been wonderful to explore the island and the mainland with you. I am so grateful that you have a good friend like Brent to share your travels with. I am praying for you Jeff, and I know that you will attend to your medical needs as required. Dear God, Be with Jeff through this latest journey. You know his name well, and You best know his needs. Remove all fear and give him the courage to face whatever will come his way. I pray this with faith in Jesus Christ. AMEN
Amen and Amen. 🙏♥️💒😇🥰
Amen. Thank you Father God.
Tooooo freaking late he preferred to freaking drive about with infected feet rather than seek urgent medical care to save his feet now both will be chopped offff
Being a diabetic, Jeffie, you know your feet are an extremely important part of your body to maintain. You need to be checking your feet, your toes and your nails etc. daily. Then you won’t have as many appointments. One of my dear friends just lost his foot to diabetes. He wasn’t maintaining his feet either. This might sound weird to you but consider going to a place that does Mani-Pedis every month. They can do your feet for you. It comes with a massage so it’ll be good for improved circulation. Mani-Pedi’s aren’t just for women anymore. Joseph was down on that same pier the other week. He caught crab with no claws. Weird! Cheers from Vancouver eh!
Unethical people will sometimes rip the claws off of undersized or female crabs and then throw them back tondie.
Jeffie, I am in Ontario, retired RPN. You should be covered for foot care every six weeks? Quick visit so they could monitor, that's all :) You have to stay well to keep your lifestyle, travel and make more videos :D
Thanks for bringing that to his attention and he can get special shoes no open toes shoes
Jeffie get foot care see if you get specific shoes for your feet my friend it's important too take of your feet ok
Guys this is an older video. He’s in the hospital now. Watch his last video. This is when the blisters began. Prayers for u Jeff 🙏 my sister deals with these same things everyday my friend. Hugs to u ♥️🤗
Toooo late foe him he didnt take care of himself and carelessly ignored that feet getting worse by the minute now he has to get his both legs cut offfffffffff
@@BicheBug1996 Just now saw a quote which I think suits you perfectly. When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
It gets really old having doctor's appointments one after another. Its hard I know, but its important for you to take care of yourself too. Praying for you Jeffie .
Guess you would have to have your rig specially fitted with controls if you lose your feet or a leg in order to live the lifestyle you want. One can talk it all away until one cannot.
We take so much for granted - not a diabetic, but dealing with eye issues right now, something I never thought about being a problem.
Lovely scenery!
Hey Jeffy beer try eating salads for a week with some chicken in it stay away from the sodiums
Brother. I got so deep into my diabetes and my ridiculous obesity. I was almost 600lbs and going downhill fast. I ended up making the decision to have a bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) and within a year post surgery, I was cleared of type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and a list of other problems.
I am pulling for you brother. Get them feet taken care of and keep making healthy and smart choices.
You’re an inspiration and I love watching your journey.
I had r en y bariatric surgery. Got rid of the diabetes but caused a lot of other bigger problems..... Not about us though .... JEFFY I love you I'll be thinking of you , I'm paying, smudging asking favors and making promises with God 🙏 hopping you get through this. Let em take whatever you have to loose loose, just kept your soul and heart here for as long as you can !
People don't know how hard it is to eat right...It cost alot of money to eat good...and in the u.s SSI only gives 850 a month..try eating rigth and paying all your bills
We must put ourselves top priority. Not easy to take care of ourselves when health issues keep pilling up. We must be strong and keep on working on ourselves. Please find it in you to do so everyday Jeffie 🤗 sending you much love 🤗🤗
How beautiful the scenery was in this video, love it. Sorry about the medical issues absolutely no fun whatsoever, I hear you on the feet. It's hard when we are one trying to take care of some of our issues of health. We have to do what we have to do with what we have on hand.
Awe! Jeffie-Bear sorry to hear about your feet .... sending you big hugs ... we all love you ... love the scenery and the music👍👍
Hey bud, wishing you the best with diabetic issues. Sending love!❤️🤙🏽🤜
What a wonderful adventure!! 🤩
🤜♥️🤛 Sending Aloha 😎🤙
🌟✨ _You are in our prayers_ ⭐️💫
Please eat mostly meat protein and vegetables. Carbohydrates are mire difficult to handel if you're a diabetic. Love you, from a retired nurse and care giver to my diabetic cognitively impaired sister.
Jeffie Bear thank you for being you.
Jeffie bear eat what want but try to eat less carbs and less sweet food. JUST SAYINGS GOD 🙌 🥰😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 advice from an old fart, 73 years young. 👵👵
Hi Mr Jeffie Bear, Really hope you get your foot issues sorted, last year I had an ulcerated foot which kept getting worse eventually my Dr said it may have to get it amputated, it frightened me so much.Then I asked for a second opinion and I got to see a nurse that deals with foot issues, she decided I was allergic to all the bandages and coverings they were putting on me. So she gave me some cream called Fucibet and within 2 days it was looking better in a week it was fully better. I was thrilled to bits. The views you show are stunning xx
Wow, so glad you got an amazing nurse!
Jeffie I suffer with Diabetes also and I have Neurothophy because of it in my feet. I send you Prayers & Huggles
Jeffie bear. I had a co worker that has diabetes due to choices he made , ened up having several toes removed . Thus not made to be rude just awareness of thing that can happen. Please take care of your self.. we all have the power to change
Hello to you Jeffie Bear. Stay healthy and have a great day today.
Beautiful! I know what you mean about being sick of appointments. I have a chronic illness, always have appointments 🙄
Saw Joseph crabbing on that dock. Pretty view. Diabetes is a mental challenge at times. Hang in there and do your best each day. It’s all any of us can do.
I'm 57 years old. Because of health issues I had to abandon all junk food and fast food. I adopted the keto diet and feel excellent now. My friend, the doctor is waiting for you with a prescription booklet. He's not going to tell you to eat better, no, he's going to prescribe you pills. Party's over, it's time to change your diet.
It kills me to see such a great person having to go through such a traumatic/life changing experience
Joseph was crabbing at that dock. Take care of the feet bruh.
Jeff's, I'm a diabetic too and have foot issues from very dry skin. I soak my feet in an Epsom salt bath and use a back scrubber to clean my them. I get the not easy part but if you want to not loose your feet you have to try to take better care of them. I came so close to losing my foot from lack of care. I watched the nurses when I was in the hospital and buddy you bet they soaked my feet then washed them very carefully. After wards they put so much moisture cream on my feet that I was told not to get out of bed when they were putting my diabetic socks on. When I was released to go homehi did exactly like the nurses did, soak them then wash them with a very gentle brush then slather them with goldbond diabetic lotion and cover them with clean socks. I know being in a van can be hard but taking care of yourself should be your #1 priority. You can't do RUclips if you're in the hospital and buddy we all out here all over the world love you and want the best for you. Please please please take care of yourself first and foremost. So what if you miss a video. Your health is far more import than a video. Love your videos but I'd rather see less and know you're taking care of yourself than you end up one footed. Sending hugs your way.
You’re a great human being for taking the time to share your experience and remedy. God bless
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR FEET 🐾🐾 I PRAY YOUR FEET 🐾🐾 GET BETTER REAL QUICK...STAY SAFE.. ALWAYS LOVE 💕 KAREN FROM CALIFORNIA 😎
Awww, Jeffie Bear, if my husband and I lived in Canada I would come and help you take care of your feet, your feet are so important, my husband is a diabetic since he was 17 years old, he is now 66 years old. Glad your going to a clinic to get some help. Have a good day with all your new friends. 🙏🐻🐻🐾🐾
You have my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I know how that slow heal crap goes. Spider bite on my ankle took a year to heal up. I'm not even diabetic. Yet. It does run in my family though. You remind me of my dad so much. Not that you are older = Im probably older than you. I think it's your eyes. He used to get sores on his feet and wouldn't know it because of the neuropathy. It sux.
I am so sorry to see you having such trouble. I had Type2, was diagnosed in dec 2018. I always thought if ever got it I would die for not taking proper care of it. But I got rid of it by eating a clean Keto diet. I always figured I would fail any special diet but it was easy when I focused on what I could have instead of what I could not have. My dr helped me by saying to just focus on “meat veggies nuts and seeds, with plenty of healthy fat.” I wish this for you. We got rid of every carb in the house and bought only the meat vegetables nuts and seeds. My diabetes was gone within weeks. Other things were cured too and the bonus I wasn’t even trying for was weight loss. If I can donut anyone can do it. I wish for you the freedom from insulin and physical problems. I hope you will check into it. Clean keto is a very healing way of eating for many conditions. Blessings to you.
Yes, Keto - Low Carb helped me lose weight & turned my pre-diabetes around. My doc was on the verge of putting me on medication if I didn't do something.
I know you're very well-intentioned but I do believe Jeffrey has Type 1 which is not caused nor cured by diet.
Having said that, Jeffrey, you have to lose weight for your mobility issues. You know this, but it's time to get it done. You can't care or monitor your feet if you aren't able to reach them - whether that's from weight or lack of flexibility or a combination of both. You don't want to get to a state when you can't even wipe your butt, my friend.
Please don't delay getting your feet looked at and taken care of professionally. You losing your ability to drive and walk would be so tragic.
Something else you need to find is a diabetic pedicurist. They are specially trained and qualified to work on diabetic feet. The hospital or clinic you go to (and you need to go now!) should be able to recommend one for you.
Like your video ends with "Please take care of yourself," you need to do that for yourself now. 🤗
I wish you all the best things in the world, gentle bear. 🐻
Add just fatty meats and veggies.
YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!!
HIGH FAT MEAT AND also veggies NO ADDITIONAL CARBS !!!!!!! Diabetes will GO AWAY !!!!! What Salinwa said an Shapie Nails said and MEATS AND VEGGIES !!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Jeffie
Hey buddy, thanks for an amazing few days of exploration, laughs, and fun.
Love it’s like a brother pal!
I’m praying for ya bruh
love you jeffie praying for you
light love healing prayers for you. Enjoy the journey and the beauty around you. Keep smiling and moving life is ever changing. Laugh Love Live it's what life is about!
Aww, I'm so sorry your going through this. Feel better and just do the best you can. It's not easy, especially when your trying to live your life. 🙏
Hi Jeffie. Eat like Emi, and you will live for many years to come. Its about focusing on what you can eat, not what you can't eat. Wishing you all the best.
You have a good camera eye! The surfing scenes are lovely.
😁🤩👏🙌🤸♀️ *Seventeen THOUSAND subs in a matter of hours or at least very soon* !!
Congrats to uuuu Mr. Bear.
I'm sure you were in more pain and distress than you let on. Hoping everything works out for you sir please take care and know many of us are thinking of you.
It’s great to see you out on the road again and the beautiful scenery.
Sending positive vibes and healing thoughts your way. WE all know what WE should do…Doing it is another story. I would love a magic pill that made me crave only healthy food and gave me the desire to exercise.
So many beautiful places to see here. I am sorry about your feet! Make sure you are at a clinic super early, like maybe sleep in the parking lot! I’m not kidding either Jeff. It’s so hard to see a doctor. You are in Sooke in this video? The worst is when you start not feeling your feet! Seriously we were talking bout that when I met you at the Lagoon the day I was with Chrome. Doing things that you love is healing in itself😉 Be good to yourself.That is so wrong on so many levels, just abandoned vehicles! Wrong people!
Sorry about your feet..Do you wear compression socks? I have swelling issues that causes ulcers on my leg if I dont wear compression socks..
🙏For you jeffy bear. 🙏. Beautiful views! Love the forest and fog 👍
You take care of yourself! 💖☀️🙏💖
Stay strong 💪👊
Sorry things are ruff, BUT. Some times our food choices aren't the best .if i eat lots of carbs and sugar foods thins happens to me . So we have to make better food choices. Best of luck to u . Van dewlers can be diabetic
Jeffie.....just a question......would paddling in the salt water at the beach or sitting on a deck chair at the beach with your feet in the salt water help your feet...? I do not know anything about your diabetis so to speak, just that usually the salt water helps heal sores etc....?
Just a question.....thanks.
Asking for prayers for jeffie and anyone who's in need of extra health n support love light and strength
Nice video
Soak one at a time in the correct solution then dry, towel/air dry. Keep clean socks and some sort of shoe or slipper on. Hard I know but a little prevention saves a big headache. Hope this helps. Daily if necessary, evening best? Maybe
Hey Jeffie..take care of 'you 💕✌️
Diabetics have quite a time with reoccuring issues. Hope you are feeling better by now.
I'm looking for a bus just like his, but my E-150 van is too small and underpowered for me and what I want to do. I have a bunch of tools and want to be able to pull a vehicle or cargo trailer behind it.
💜
Please take good care of those feet. I 🥰 u jeffiebear.
Jeffie Bear they don’t have you wear compression stockings up to your hip. Plus laying in your bed looking out at the beautiful land elevate those legs. If you can’t get the stockings on they make a metal contraption that you put the sock on and then you can pull it up. I know it’s hard but it does help.
Even with all you got going on you still film your beautiful country. Stay healthy, be safe Jeffie Bear. A lota love sending out to youse. Xxx
Sorry to hear your struggling. Have you been checked for congestive heart failure? They need to put you on a water pill asap.
The places you show are gorgeous. I love the forest and the water. Simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Canada is an especially blessed land partly because of your low population density in so many areas.
Yes, sunshine soothes the soul - we are all ready🌞🌞🌞
If you don't change your diet you will lose your eyesight and limbs.
Please give the conivore or low carb diet.
It works.
Low carb is delicious Jeffie. It's so filling that you won't be as hungry.
Hey jeffie bear we call those creachers ( yowies.) Here in Australia 🇦🇺.....yep don't go walking in the bush...( forest ) alone tonight...lol...lol...🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
All the best to you. I can't imagine what you're going through. I have diabetes and you've given a shock. I need to pay closer attention to it. Sending positive vibes your way.
Praying for you Hawaiian
Well, I tried a 3rd time, trying to "code" my message, but it is such a simple name, I could not. This could also help Emmi's Kitty.
My heart goes out to you Jeffie. I will pray for a good outcome. Love you 💖😙
Sorry for your foot problems. I'm not diabetic but when I travel a lot in my car my feet swell pretty badly. Do many vanlifers have feet issues regardless if they are diabetic or not? God speed.
🙏❤️ saying a special prayer for you, Jeffie Bear. Peace and healing thoughts.
