Hi family, just wanted to share that one thing that really helped my dad with his diabetes is boiling bitter melon leaves and drinking the juice. Also, eating the bitter melon raw with lemon. My mom would cut the bitter melon into tiny tiny pieces and juicing a lemon to eat and drink together. Praying and supporting your family always!

Is this on a daily basis? And for how long? I would like to try for prevention.. I am not a fan of bitter melon but I also know I’m not getting any younger either🥴😬 thanks for sharing!

this is close to my heart because my dad is going through the same thing. And it is good to share experiences and learn new things from people that is going through the same situation. You can see and take it as it is. It does not cost to be kind. But this is a remedy for some. my dad loves melons anything that ends with melon hahahahahaha. cucumber is a family of melons but all in all most islanders HEY my dad is a stubborn tongan man and whatever the doctor told him he had his own theories. And he just ate what he wanted my mother she tells him you are your own enemy in everyting in life. But much love for you moe chef keep going You are blessed beyond your years ofa atu from our side

@coffeesunshine3221 When my dad first started doing this, it was daily, but after he got off his medication, it decreased. We monitored his sugar and increased it to daily if needed.

Don't lose hope chef...God works in mysterious ways...you being there Rona is no accident...thank you for thinking of helping and supporting your parents and siblings...thank you also Rita for holding it down for your family...our thoughts and prayers goes out to your family...GOD BLESS...

You don't want to go on dialysis, if you can help it. Your life will change dramatically so as your family. My brother was on it for 9yrs. and his heart gave up one day while he was at dialysis. He left behind two young kids. He missed out on the rest of their lives. Heart disease, diabetes and blood pressure are very common in the Polynesian Community. You guys have small children and they need you to be around for a long time. I too am doing the same thing for the sake of my kid. E le oki seisi ile sui o meaai. Try juicing veggies sometime and you will see your cravings will slowly change. Alofa atu.

Kia ora Family, my heart goes out to you Chef. My elderly relative is 70yrs old now, he lives with my husband and I. He has diabetes, heart disease and his kidney is at 3% the other failed a few years ago. If you saw him you wouldn't even know he has all these health conditions. He is active, mows lawns goes fishing. Keep the faith and stay blessed🙏 Love to you and the Whanau from mine💖

I feel like Chef's been in and out of the hospital since last yr! 😟🙁❤ Take care yourself & will continue to lift you up in prayers! ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽

To be completely honest with you Chef, Dialysis is an option but if you go with this option you have to be completely obedient with your diet! I’ve suggested before that the best thing to do is to ask your PCP to refer you to a dietitian or nutritionist. Keep in mind not all vegetables are good for people with certain illnesses. You might think eating all that vegetables may be good for you but it might be making your condition worse, this is why seeing a dietitian or nutritionist can benefit & guide you in the right direction! Praying for healing & strength, especially for sis Rita & the kids! 🙏🏽❤️

Awww you take care of yourself CHEF my dad’s got the same Health problems like you💚💚 Good to see you all Rona’s Family💚💚 God will never leave nor forsake you CHEF🙏🙏 Pray you will get a good recover so you can have more years to enjoy your beautiful Family💚💚

I think this is good lesson for your tamariki/children too. We adults do not want to pass on our diabetic habits to them. Changing their diet now to same as Chefs healthy vege filled one will prevent them from inheriting the same chronic diseases later in life. It starts now when they are babies. You are doing great by leading by example, Chef! Keep going.

Hi Chef, I'm 31 years old and have been on peritoneal dialysis since December 2023. Reading through the comments and I agree dieting and restricting your fluids is the way to go. As a kidney patient we have to also be cautious with fluid intake which is something that doesn't get mentioned enough. Try a natural or holistic approach to avoid being pumped with different drugs because that's what we end up with - a bag full of pulls and injections. Don't be afraid to look into old traditional Samoan or even Chinese medicines - herbs and vegetables are very powerful. Switched up my diet & I'm no longer on my insulin or any of my diabetes medicine. You have a great support system there - YOU'VE GOT THIS ☺️🙏

Kaloafe ❤, it’s normal to have different thoughts and feelings about news like this. Its a shock 😢It’s good you now know what the health issue is, and it’s good you now have been referred to kidney specialist. You have options like kidney transplant or be on dialysis. Prayers, love and comfort for you Chef, for your beautiful wife and children. X

Don't go near dialysis, pray and asked for a transparent. Get a donor, praying for your health chef. You need to exercise try the 24/7 tablet, there is plenty suppliers in there. Ai soo foi ga vegetables, to many chemicals. Try organic vegetables. Blessings chef and family. Slow or stop using fizzy drinks

Declaring healing and prayer Over you chef and family. You got this.

Good morning!! Prayers for chef and the family!!

Bless all of you as u walk together through the trials and tribulations in our lives ❤ Chef good to see u home with those that love and care about your health and well being. I too have the same the same health problems and try my hardest to be as healthy as I can be, I live life and live in the moment. Stay safe family ❤ ❤❤❤❤

Much love chef, may God continue to bless you and your loving family, peace and blessings.🙏🏾✝️

What ever your journey is we are all here with you always. Thank goodness to have a great team looking after you at the Hospital especially your Nephrologist specialist. God bless chef and whanau💚💛❤️🙏💞

You got this Chef keep your eyes focused on the Lord sending our love and prayers 💯💙

Praying for you Chef that Heavenly Father continues to cover you with His Healing Hands. Only God has the last say in our lives💚 My mom I lost this past March from Heart Disease as well and I cried when you spoke about your Mom. My mom was a Single mother so this loss took a toll on me especially when she got diagnosed about 2 years ago after coming back from Vacation in Samoa. I commend you for sharing your situation because it is not easy to talk about. We continue to stand in the Gap for you & your family during these times. We love you Chef & your Family. My mom loved watching you guys and we always share with each other how amazing you guys are within your videos. I miss her very much because she would be crying as well. God bless you all💚💚💚

Hi chef thank you for sharing your story. Prayers for you and your family. Instead of using non stick pan should use a cast iron instead. Non stick leakes a lot of metals and Teflon that will worsen your health.

All the best to good health chef🙌🏼

Faamanuia le Atua ia te oe chef ma le aiga. May God's healing arms be wrapped around you. A few years ago I lost my dad and my sister to diabetes & renal failure. My mum fought renal failure kidney disease for over 30 years a was fortunate to get a kidney transplant in 2016 & she is still going strong. Thank you for bringing awareness again to diabetes and how serious it is and how it is one of the most deadliest diseases taking our people, due to bad eating choices. Hope you stick with your diet and work your way to a healthier, stronger you. ❤❤ Supporting you and your family from Auckland New Zealand ❤️

Get better soon Chef! much ❤ from our fam in Melbourne Australia

Hello, I just wanted to share some of the things that have happened to my Dad and my family,a year ago my Dad had cancer, my Dad loves to search on things, that's when he searched and finds out about fasting, when you fast it's like you are born again, those toxic in your body that were there from all the junk food we ate are gone, our ancestors lived to a hundred years old because they all eat local foods and meat, and they never get sick,us now we die around 20,30,40, to 50, because of the lazy food we eat, thanks to the fasting, my Dad has able to see me and my brother graduate year 2024, I don't know anything, but my help to you is to try fasting and let go of sugar,it will be hard, that's what my dad went through, but now he is here at home with us

Chef, sending my Prayers and Blessings to you for a better health. Aloha and Talofa from Hawaii

Good to see chef is doing well. O lo'o manatua oulua male fanau i talosaga🙏 stay bless family🙏❤🙏 ... Faafetai mole update. God bless your family n your channel.

God Bless You Chef and Family 🙏

Nice to see the family and baby is jealous of Rona lol so cute. chef glad to hear you are home. Chef take care really listen to those doctors and ask them lots of questions and you as well Rita. Chef one thing I learnt with my heart specialist, kidney specialist, lung respiratory specialist and my haematologist was I think I'm going to ask these questions and I would get there and forget wat I wanted to ask so I brought a note bad for myself to write down questions and one for my family to write down questions. It really does help and while the doctor is answering your questions Chef, Rita can write down wat doctors say. I have a primary care doctor who I see weekly and she gets all reports from doctor's and they all work together because one doctor puts you on medication and that medication can interfere with other medications your on. So Chef I have had both Kidneys fail also my heart and lungs you need to keep oxygen levels good. Cause less oxygen in blood affects your organs. I understand wat your going through it's bloody tough. They can't fix me but they can keep me stable and stop from getting worse over the last 4 years I spent almost 3 years in hospital and in those 3 years I spent a lot of it in ICU. Now I have been home a year.stable not getting better but I'm stable doing exactly what the doctors and nurses say.. please Chef take care and you and your beautiful family are in my prayers daily lots of Ofa atu xx

Good luck to you pops! My mom has HBPressure and diabetic too. My father in law died few years back with the same sickness as you and was on dialysis. Ngl dialysis gave him a few more years to survive, back in the islands he was told he wasn’t going to make it. But he stayed alive another 4 years. I myself am reversing my genetics by eating right and exercising. Btw I saw you out on the road around 100th st lol. Take care pops!

Aww Rona you looking good 🤍🌻

Rita why not put in a request while Chefs still in the hospital, for a Dietician to help him with his diet. Chef needs a good rest everyday. He must also drink at least 6 to 7 glasses of water daily. And a healthy environment i.e. happiness,stress less all contributes to his recovery. Life is a roller coaster, but it is through pray,that we can all survive any challengers, we encounter in our life's journeys.

Get well Chef!

Healing prayers to the chef, may the faithful healer bless him with good full health and to a quick recovery in Jesus' name amen

Celery and Parsley are 2 great herbs for the kidneys. You can make a tea out of the dried herbs and drink it daily. Its great for water retention.

Thank you for sharing your story about your health. I truly believe God does move in mysterious ways and this is a great test of Faith for your family. Regardless of the negative results from Chefs medical report, Stay Trusting in God. Our Creator and Healer. He is the main doctor that can do what medicines cannot do. Continuous prayers for your family. And so sorry about Ronas miscarriage. But, God's timing is everything Rona. You will be blessed with another one. Overall, always sending love, support and prayers to your family from mine. Heaps Al💜fas.

Hi Family, No loose hope I have been in your shoes,my mom was doing dialysis . It is reversible Vegetable and fruit is Medicine. Fa'amalosi kigo savalivali, cut caffeine especially coffee. And prayers and family support. Sending love

Chef please take care of yourself! My Dad’s side of family has diabetes and heart problems and gout. My Grandpa and Dad both had open heart due to emergency. So if you can watch diet, esp. the salt, and limit soda. Try the fruit flavor seltzer waters. But if you change everything too much it’s a lot to handle. Moderation is the key with diet. It’s all that good food we grew up on. Just don’t eat too much fried foods. Last month they told my Mom her kidneys were going bad and she didn’t drink that much that day because we were having long doctors appointments. So she was dehydrated. They repeated labs a week later and her kidneys were fine. Stay away from sick people too so you don’t catch a cold. Take care! You can do it Chef!

Aloha Fam, Praying for all of you 🙏🏾stay Blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Chef make a lot of soup too - it’s good for you !
