This is Scared Straight for the Diabetes era. Whenever I find myself overdoing it on carbs and sugars, I watch these programs to scare me back to my senses.
I have been fighting 35 years with 100% insulin resistance. 8 years is a walk in the park even losing pieces of your body you don't need to be unhealthy and once your invitations are done you can eat like you're supposed to and live pretty much a normal length life.
I ❤️ the people in this documentary. Brian really has a good attitude and happy disposition for going through a traumatic experience. The health and dieticians speak the truth. And the people suffering from diabetes and their families are so honest with big hearts. This was a very unique documentary from the viewpoint that it's not as much the fault of the person eating the food as it is the environment setting us up to fail. Thank you for creating this film!
Sugar in processed food is the problem, particularly bread. IMO, bread is the very first thing people should cut out if they're diabetic, or really anybody who wants to lose weight. I'm a former diabetic, and went from 120kg to around 82kg, this along with a low carb diet is how I did it and reversed diabetes. I also recommend that people do some research on a low carb high fat diet as well as the benefits of fasting. Dr. Jason Fung and Dr. Aseem Malhotra are good resources.
@@Anna-po1sb How exactly am I supposed to know your personal circumstances.....how?! What I can tell you is what worked for me....does that answer you question?!
@@Anna-po1sb And I told you mine xD, cos that's what worked for me. Cos losing over 40kg, keeping it off for 10 years and no longer being a diabetic entitles me to have an opinion about the subject xD
I am an Right leg below the knee amputee but not a result of diabetes. I frequently visit my Prostetics Hospital and the majority of Amputees are diabetics. I'm not a diabetic but after seeing those at my leg Hospital and the videos you post on here I realised how critical this disease is. My excise post amputation is far less. And if I am not being disciplined my food consumption can waiver. You Do Not Want to end up an Amputee from Diabetes. They seem sad and struggling. Thank you for the Upload. Keep up the good work.
Seldom have I ever seen any documentary that really helps us understand that this problem is a societal problem and not just a problem for individuals and their "choices". The victims of this terrible disease are some of the most joyous, loving sensitive and self-aware individuals I have seen. I hope that we can begin to attack this obesity epedemic and help stem the tide of illnessess, however today in the grocery store I saw a baby of less than a year old, very fat and the mother filling the cart with surgary food and drink as her baby reaches on the shelves for it.
The problem is that we’re constantly eating and not giving the body enough time to digest the food. We have to give the body time to rest as well. Stop eating at night and maybe push breakfast a little later. Exercise as well. Make it part of life.
They are not judgemental, they care. Everyday my breakfast between 2 and 4 p.m. because I stay up most of the night is always overnight oats which will automatically help to lower blood sugar. And then I have my dinner later on between 7 + 10 it used to be far later but I feel better if I eat it around 10 p.m. .
Rice - brown or black, not white - potatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, onions, and other fruits and veg in season - and something is ALWAYS in season - some of the cheapest foods you can buy, anywhere in the world. and the healthiest. In fact, they are so cheap, especially bought in bulk, there should be some food dollars left over for dark, leafy greens. In a tropical nation, like NZ, beans, lettuces, cukes, tomatoes and zuchinis, just to name a few, can be grown on the back steps, in a crate or any old plastic container, for pennies a pound. The trouble is, people aren't being told this by their health professionals or any of the other things they REALLY need to know that could restore them to health, improve the quality of their lives by tons, and save their lives. Its a tragedy & must change NOW.
Frenchblue8 I don’t agree that people don’t know what foods are healthy and what foods are junk. Just listen to the people - they are well aware that home-cooked meals made from simple, unprocessed ingredients are the smart option but choose the fast-food burgers, sugary drinks, and highly processed pre-made foods with long shelf life because they are the least effort. It’s hard, I’m a mom who works full time, but I made the choice to cook healthy meals almost every night. I may have a messy house, a mountain of laundry to do, and cat hair on the furniture, but I’m giving my children the best building blocks for a healthy body and a way of life that will serve them well as they become adults. It does take work but health professionals and teachers have been spreading the word for decades.
He is diabetic yet he is still eating white bread and jam?! One can of coke as well, coke is a big no no! If you really need it then drink Zero but best is Water and tea.
Becca G Can I comment about the diet soda I was diabetic when I was pregnant so I started drinking diet soda I hated it But now I am addicted to the diet soda It is worse than the regular soda Our bodies cannot tell the difference between artificial sugar and real sugar So again the diet soda can cause people to become diabetic Because again our bodies cannot tell the difference and the diet soda will make you have more cravings for sugar
BEING DIABETIC IS NOT EASY BUT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR DIET IT HELPS ALOT I CHANGED MY DIET DRASTICALLY AND I FEEL ALOT BETTER I ALSO EXERCISE WHAT HELPED ME ALOT WAS TO GET EDUCATED ON DIABETES

Nice video, I use Libre and Blucon to monitor my glucose levels. The alarms are nice and are loud enough to wake me up. You can adjust your BG ranges to whatever you want. The best part of blucon is I can calibrate it for higher accuracy!
It's not only the sugar level in the food it is the carbohydrates as well because all of that adds up to sugar too yes it's hard work and nobody was promised to have a fair or easy life! All everybody is giving our excuses instead of doing the right thing. I hate excuses I could excuse everything in my life since I was 20 but I never would and I never will!
It all goes back to healthy eating, losing weight to get at a normal, healthy weight then maintain it, exercising regularly and sleeping well on a daily basis. Too many people make too many bad choices in life. It’s ultimately their own fault. People have a responsibility to educate themself on how to take care of themselves instead of being in denial about reality.
These people don't even know how delicious plant-based Whole Foods can be! I don't miss out on anything including burgers and pizza. I cook just like I did when I ate meat except without the meat or using vegan meat. I love good food as much as the next person therefore I make my food taste wonderful! Everybody can afford to eat healthy.
I feel so bad for the man in the hospital who will have a part of his foot cut off. He's a severe diabetic and they have bread, jello, and jelly on his food tray. Just seems counter productive if you're about to have body parts cut off and they give him sugar to eat in the form of carbohydrates.
I am shocked to see people with diabetes still consuming high amounts of carbohydrates, despite their condition. Even doctors are advising diabetic patients to eat high-quality carbohydrates, which I find ridiculous! Diabetics should limit their carb intake to almost zero or at most 50g a day from sources like vegetables. What kind of medical advice is this?
This documentary frustrated me because they aren't as direct about what sort of diet causes type 2 diabetes. They can't just say it is SUGAR AND CARBS. STOP EATING THIS POISON!
"I don't know what's wrong. I have diabetes and I'm dying, nothing can be done." *STUFFS FACE* Holy freakin hell, I just can't have sympathy for these people. STOP EATING!!! FFS!!
I'm watching this and all through, these diabetic people are talking about "eating healthy" and then tucking into sugary breakfast cereals, bread/toast with jam, etc. It's just terrible, it's like my boss, who told me about his "healthy" breakfast of 2 eggs, a fried potato patty, and toast.
@@alexcarter8807 Huh? I literally just looked up the diabetic diet according to the ADA (American diabetes association) Their recommendations are: 50% NON-starchy vegetables 25% protein 25% carbs (unprocessed carbs recommended)
This program strikes the fear of god into me. I am not sure if I will be able to eat anything sugary without memory of this program popping up in my mind... okej, I'm kidding, but maybe not that much.
The amount of people eating bread margarines jams fruits cereals is ludicrous in this documentary it’s simple if your diabetic no carbs no sugars. Got my Hba1c from 11.3 to 6.8 it’s taken me 3 years I very rarely take the Medz. Use Keto to pick your fruits and veggies and all meat is good. Use good salts and seasoning to make flavor in your life. No table salt
There was a this history about how the British starved, killed many Indian's, that after generations the body works differently and they have diabetes and bc of the starvation period back then, the body keeps hold of the fat. Since then 1800, I believe this is true. My grandparents had it, same my parents and I've got it. Though it's been a tough 5yrs I have tried my best to maintain it, I have BED so its difficult. I am more scared of the renal failure, and nerve issues leading to amputation. As a nurse I see diabetic patients eating sugary cakes and biscuits and their on insulin, their feet have been amputated and many other toes black dead really, waiting to remove to prevent infection. I don't understand really, it's hard and there's alternatives, making ur own with sugar substitutes, expensive but health is important. James is 11yrs older than me, i seriously don't want to be heading that way. Luckily we are on tablets only and my other bro is doing keto to maintain it at pre diabetic. 5 sibling and we all diabetic plus my mum, we have control over this.
These people are tropical islanders, yet they are eating European food. Why do not they keep diets that their ancestors ate? These people do not have common sense at all!

Nothing wrong with pointing fingers, if you are eating junk, it’s a good thing that other people remind you.

What an eye opener.

The main reason I watch such shows is to prevent me from backsliding to bad diet . My thing is under control

yep, measure your blood sugar every day, and take your isuline....... how about not eating sugar??
It's hard to give up sugar but you can make positive changes around your diet. The sweetest thing in my house is fruit. I've lost 25 pounds.
Good for you, keep up the great work. And remember that it’s not the number on the scale that matters, it’s how healthy you are that matters the most.
From my experience, it is not that hard. After a few weeks my body adjusted and the cravings stopped.
12 Kilograms
I noticed they are still eating bread and jam and margarine
Their doctors failed them
