My father found out he was pre-diabetic around 2020/2021. He actually managed to reverse the effects and is no longer pre-diabetic. He lost a ton of weight. He went from around 90kg to 72kg. He did that by being super strict with his diet and exercising 6 to 7 days a week. His weight went up again to 80kg, but it has stayed there for over a year now. I'm super proud of his results. He's 64 at the moment.

My father was a type 1 diabetic. He had it since he was 16, got it from my grandfather. Since type 1 is usually genetic. I feel so bad for him. The amount of diabetic episodes he had, all the pain he went through, and to have his health crumble so fast the last few years especially. He just passed away this Halloween. First my mother died on Christmas when I was 3 in 2003, and now my father dies on Halloween. At this rate I'll have no Holidays left. I miss him so much man. It kills me every day when I see anything that reminds me of him, including this video and the topic of diabetes. Or when I hear a Don Henley or Led Zeppelin or Billy Joel song, or when I watch any movies from his time. I wish I could have him alive for just one more day, to hug him like he's never been hugged before in his 60 years, and tell him just how much I freaking love him. Man I'm crying typing this, I miss him so freaking much. And I regret so bad how I treated him the last month of his life. I miss you dad. I'm sorry for all the people that took advantage of you in your life. I'm sorry I didn't show you the love you deserved while you were alive. I'm such a jerk. I'm glad though that you no longer have to deal with this disease, or your gastroparesis, or your eye problems, or all the anxiety and all the abuse and pain you've felt all your life, I'm happy you can rest now father. You earned it man. It's my turn to carry the pain, and I'll do everything I can to show you I love you! Please rest dad, I miss you! He built me a house in the arms of a tree He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream When he looks in my eyes, I hope he can see that My dad's a hero to me! The greatest father I could ever ask for 08/02/1963 - 10/31/2023

My father in law who suffers from diabetes said, Diabetes is the only illness that forces you to take care of yourself & eat healthy.
-
I think of Type II Diabetes as a condition, instead of a disease. You can greatly improve it, or eliminate it through diet and exercise.
-
I used to be prediabetic. I've cut back drastically on sugars and have managed to reverse it, for now. I do have a few symptoms of nerve issues in my limbs, but they are mild and rare.

I think there are a lot of people that disregard the potential mental and emotional dysfunctions that can cause eating disorders, which keeps people trapped in a vicious cycle that perpetuates Type-2. I was there. at 255 lbs, my blood sugar hit 864, and I ended up in the hospital. I was Type 2 for 6 or 7 years. I focused on low carb, OMAD, periods of intermittent fasting. I started to deal with my emotional eating [such a succinct way to sum up the last year of my life]. As of last April, my Type-2 was officially removed from my chart by my PCP. I'm down to 175ish. And I'm a lazy B@5t@RD. So if I can do it, I KNOW you can ^^. [to clarify, I started making these changes about two weeks short of a year ago.]

They never said what causes diabetes in the first place - refined sugar specifically, and processed foods in general. there is no medicine that can counteract those poisons. just get rid of the processed food. easier said than done, but it is possible. and it is the only way to reverse diabetes.
-
In Type 2, the body doesn’t “mishandle the food you eat” but rather food choices abuse the body.

Our bodies are miraculous

You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes 💪
-
Stress and depression and anxiety can make you stress out ,
-
It’s just sad for me that conditions like this exist and people suffer from it, I feel really bad for anyone who goes through this. What makes us have diabetes more is that we don’t have a lot of healthy food around the world today.
