Yesterday I was diabetic for 8 years! I'm really proud I've kept going. I had my own diabetes burnout when I was a young teenager - being diagnosed at the age of 10 sucks. What drives me to do better and improve my hba1c, is that I want to go to college and thrive. I want to compete in rowing and become a diabetic rower. I don't want to feel miserable anymore, constantly going low (hypoglycaemic) and then running high (hyperglycaemic). I want to be on this earth for a long time.

You shouldn't be afraid being 18 and T1D for 7 of those years i wrestled in high school so I know that feeling of worry but don't be, exercise is good way to increase insulin sensitivity and helping glucose levels stabilize and yes there will be times where you're low but don't be afraid to tell someone even if you don't know the person.

Hello Fredrik! I enjoyed your talk and learning about your method for dealing with your disease. I believe that with a healthy dose of creativity, most people can use your reward system to work for them too. As you know, breaking new ground in the medical field is an uphill battle but look how far you've come - wow! Your rewards are the thousands of people whose lives you have touched in a meaningful and positive manner. Your work is important to so many people! It's both ironic and 'wonderful' how your disease became the springboard for help and change for the diabetic community. I hope and pray that you continue to make great strides towards helping everyone overcome what could easily be an insurmountable challenge in their lives. The bravest people are those who forge the way for others and we are thankful to you and your team for your tenacity and courage. You are a truly inspirational!

I just wanted to take a second thank you for sharing your experience, I have been in this kind of burn out myself for the past year, a few months back I then started to use the app, as it would make document my blood sugar levels easier, I soon realized that the amount of possibilities you have with it, can really make a huge difference. it makes me feel safer, when a hypo occurs, there is no guessing involved from where it came, it is a great way to treat the diabetes

I needed this. I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 2 years old. I am 22 now. And I know exactly what you meant about that moment that you didn't care. Because I went through that as well. Sometimes you feel like you wanna give up because of what a burden it is, you try to level your blood sugars as much as you can, and yet sometimes you fail. Or the pain you feel when your blood sugar is high for too long. I've learned that I can't fight my diabetes. I have to live with it. & take care of myself the best I can. & ever since I've had this thought process, it's changed everything for me. Thank you so much for this, it was amazing!

Yes. Plz do ure research first so that u understand. Dr richard bernstein is an 80++ year old type 1 and author of The Diabetes Solution. I think they rely much on his work. He also has a diabetes university series in youtube. Might wanna check that out. Also theres dr roy stapleton if I'm not mistaken. Also a type 1 and follows low carb high fat. Plz do check out typeonegrit. God willing u will be able to better manage ure sons condition :)

Nice presentation. Diabetes makes life a lot more stressful. Stress leads to poor diabetes management. Poor diabetes management leads to additional stress. Using fear as motivation for dealing with an intractable problem creates as many problems as it solves, and is cruel to use on children who are already carrying a heavy psychological burden.

My sugar has been very high for months now. I didn't realize that stress could cause it to go up... well not consciously. It make since. Mine is a strange Type II that doctors have been baffled about. I believe it is odd because I am just learning that my lymphatic system was damaged as a child from hyper-Adrenalin states due to prolonged child abuse. I have been diagnosed with one autoimmune disorder and am believed to have at least one more. My diabetes symptom started as a child though I was diagnosed until my late twenties. At that time they realized I'd been misdiagnosed for years. Thank you for the useful info and please keep working for a positive change.

So happy I am not the only one that had a burn out in my life. It was so bad for 3 years. But that ways 15 years ago. I know want he is talking about thanks

Great talk. The next one I want to hear is a presenter from the pharma/medical industry discussing how type 1 is being taken as seriously as type 2 when it comes to allocation of research resources. Lot of money going to solving what is essentially a lifestyle based disease, but not much progress being made. Use that money to solve type 1.

That was amazing it's really deep words ❤️❤️

Wow,thank you for this video.I am not diabetic but instead suffer from severe hypo.If I ate wrong,which I did for decades with booze and junk foods,I would suffer debilitating behavioral changes and just downright disgusting feelings of non-health.Severe mood swings to point no one liked me,blood sugar going so low I looked like I was on drugs when all I did was have a fast food breakfast,inability to breathe properly and on and on.The worst symptom I would get was something I nicknamed the nodzzzz.This was when I would just feel like I was gonna pass out mainly happening on train rides every day to and from work where it changed my life into a living hell. Now after watching this video I realize how lucky I am to just suffer these symptoms.Yes they ruined my life in a way but I did not have to deal with the monster of diabetes life where every test and dose one does is a reminder of how unlucky one is and also how close to death.I don't know if I would have the mindset to do what a diabetic does to be honest.So I say to you,what you are doing is amazing and I wish the best for you and the outcome of changing a diabetics outlook on their life.

Sorry to hear you got diagnosed type 2 but where did I say type 2 is a death sentence??The cure for type 2 diabetes is a low carb diet.Quite simply,if you can't handle carbs then don't eat them.Tyoe 2 is easily reversible.Find out what works and stick with it.Most peeps with diabetes try low carb and find it impossible to stick with sadly.You could try paleo and see how you go on.Just gotta look at food as your medicine. BTW I never get hypo and eat wondwerful meals every day.Just now I had a hamburger patty sauteed with jalepenos,onions,tomato and an avocado on top! Delicious. ;)

Deal Wolfstriked Ah I think this is what made me pissy (I did not have to deal with the monster of diabetes life where every test and dose one does is a reminder of how unlucky one is and also how close to death) ...I think I took you the wrong way, though. Thank you for your positivity and kind words. I'm following LCHF, which is what they tell you to do. It's hard, but I had to do it anyways, I had to change my life and this was a huge wake up call. I feel lucky that I got the reversible type. I don't know how Type 1's do it. They're very strong people. Your hamburger patty sounds lovely! I just had steamed chicken breast and pesto with salad and cottage cheese. I really miss chocolate and fries. Omg pizza and fries!! And Starbucks! But that's not the life I can live anymore and I have to accept it. I think that's the hardest part, accepting.

Fredrik is awesome as usual ! You need a little motivation to take care of your diabetes ? Watch this and upload my Sugr companion!

Pretty darn neat. Howzabout limiting your carbs drastically. It makes blood glucose management enormously easier. No, really. I recommend Dr. Bernstein.

Guys, from where I can get this pumping device attached to his arm, that would be amazing to have and anybody knows its features and how does it works?

Hi Amr, Not sure if you ever figured this out but it looks like he's wearing a Freestyle Libre sensor. They are a little sensor that monitors glucose levels

I've tried for 6 months last year and again for 3 months now to be keto adapted. I'm T2D with dawn phenomenon, on metformin and 70 units of Lantus to help (I say help) the d.p. I now have stage 4 breast cancer again, after having been cancer free for 20 years and really need to be making ketones. Any suggestions?

Congrats on all your accomplishments and thank you for sharing your story. I must say, however, I'm rather stunned that you did not even touch on nutrition - as if what we put it into our bodies is totally disconnected from any condition/disease from which we may may be suffering. Also, there are many, many documented cases of people having reversed even the worst conditions of type two diabetes through proper nutrition. That said, I challenge you to spend the next 3 to 6 months researching diabetes reversal or cures for diabetes. Of course, you will not find this information in mainstream media, but there's tons of information out there. In fact, just before your video popped up, I had watched several videos that referenced cases about diabetic patients being completely cured simply by getting their bodies back in balance by replacing bad food with highly nutritious foods. Thanks again for sharing your story and I'm wishing you continued success and good health.

He's type 1 diabetic, the whole talk was directed towards type 1 diabetes, perhaps do some research into it.

Epigenetics is now showing that you parents genes can influence children ... so Diet of the family tree is critical ... Irony 1 - In the 1930’s, food scientists realized that refined grains were not providing enough nutrients. Consumers, particularly children, were developing symptoms of malnutrition. Thus, grain enrichment and fortification became standard. (Irony 1) The AMA (the most powerful lobby in Washington) and NIH have failed the patient ... Physicians have abandoned the nutritional approach to patient diagnostics and medicine, simply because they are not trained in nutrition. A key part of the Hippocratic Oath ... “I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure... “, has been forgotten … Doctors have allowed themselves to be "Trained" by Big Pharma and the Chemical Industry, and this is under the purview of the AMA and NIH. Doctors cannot answer simple nutritional questions ... irony. 70 Going On 100.

Although Fredrik compares this to a game for himself, it's more of a task/reward system. You will focus on the reward and feel positively about reaching your daily goals instead of having each test be a reminder that you have a disease. I love that he found a way that works for him and hopes that this method will be successful for others as well. It's too easy to fall down into the well; in other words, that deep pit of despair which Fredrik himself spent 3 years in before pulling himself out. You may need to be creative to find some method that works for you and I hope that you can. I'm not an expert on this disease but I do know that it can be overwhelming to have to monitor your blood sugar and food intake to a high degree and it's never-ending. It would be too easy to fall into a deep depression. Nowadays we have to be our own health advocates; no one is going to do it for us. I encourage you to connect with Fredrik and try to find a method that works for you. I wish for you a long and healthy life. :)

The problem, in this case, is that type II diabetics are told by ostensibly trustworthy people to eat more of the same kind of high carb, high seed oil diet that made them sick in the first place (just sprinkle a little more vegetables on it). They're told to constantly snack and chase it down with insulin like some junkie. On that diet they have a choice between feeling miserable and tired or eating themselves to an early grave; and they choose the later. If you stop doing the thing that's harming you, there's no need for 'motivation' to keep punishing yourself.

anyone catch the name of the "App" he was talking about?

I keep hearing about the symptom of extreme thirst and I was diagnosed about 10 tears ago but and my A1C has only gone over 7.0 to 7.3 on one bleed test, I never experienced that symptom. My A!C is usually around 6.3-4 (you might say pre-, but my doctor works from the diagnosis that it is full blown), so I am not too bad off YET and I'm 76 yo

tried it, it doesn't work for me and just creates other problems ... it will work for Type 2's though so please differentiate. I'm Type 1 have been for 30 years and try everything possible to try and help me with control. I now have CGM with my pump. The low carb intake has just made me loose weight, I wasn't overweight to start with and now at 50 kilos and 1.7m tall I struggle to regain any weight and all that does is make me look unhealthy.

Dion't be telling people with T! diabetes what to eat and what not to eat. Low blood sugar is no joke and can cause brain damage and death just as easily, sometimes more so than high blood sugar. As he said, it's a balancing act with dosage and activity levels. Leave the advise to the professionals.
