Diabetes — time for a change | Fredrik Debong | TEDxVienna
This discuss was given at a native TEDx occasion, produced independently of the TED Conferences. As the democratisation of data, capacity and attain has struck just about all industries of the world, healthcare has lengthy been lagging behind. This to such an extent that those that rely on it now take issues into their very own palms.
After thirty years of residing with sort 1 diabetes, with all its ups and downs, I used to be lucky to fulfill my cofounders at mySugr – the corporate which has been our ardour and work since 2010. Together we work on altering the philosophy of our remedy – by addressing the psychology of it, utilizing expertise and video games.
Can regular individuals, like us, be a part of altering the world of 400 thousands and thousands individuals? I imagine that the story I want to share with you is a part of proving the case; that we, the “sufferers”, can have an effect on not solely our personal lives however the way in which of the world.
Aged 4 and a half, life modified as Fredrik was identified with sort 1 diabetes, a continual illness affecting some 40 million individuals on the earth. It didn’t maintain him again a lot on his path in life. As cofounder of each the entrepreneurial organisation STARTeurope and the award profitable diabetes companies firm mySugr, he’s pushed by a want to change his fast world.

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.
fat from meat and dairy and fatty oils are what cause diabetes.
Stop lying and playing of the emotions of the sick .There is no cure for this bad damn disease !!!!!!!!!!!until death no way out !!! Don't trust any one !!Be conscious , eat diety food and practice sport !!!!
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
Wow. A diabetes video sponsored by Hershey chocolate bars. How bizzare!!
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?
keep amd eat hw
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?
great job thinking outside the box. …here's another think…don't eat carbs.
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. All these while this is the best stuff I have come across [Go Here=== https://plus.google.com/110226900097507142274/posts/2q9ksCSYX18 ]. I always go on Metformin, and it has been helpful in controlling my blood sugar, but there are the side effects of it which includes severe diarrhea and rashes. The next prescription by the doctor still gave me that rash. And Januvia which I am on now is not effective for the blood sugar. I am now going into diet plan and exercise which I feel is the best option.
Sounds like snake oil to me.
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.
anyone catch the name of the "App" he was talking about?
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.
Note:
Sports decrease G
Stress nervousness increases cortisol which increases G
Being in love decreases G
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.
I've spend a long time studying diabetes after which we found a fantastic resource at Diabetes Crusher Tactic (google it if you're interested)
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 visited the bathroom constantly, which I took to be because I gave on soft drinks and was drinking only water. [Go Here=== https://plus.google.com/102443457991099589207/posts/7Zo634Dr11x ]. One day I have to stay in bed for 4 days because of stomach ache. I got sick and went to the emergency room on a Monday, which was not appointment day with the doctor. I was told my blood sugar level was 820 and that I have diabetes. Since then I have been using natural method to take care of myself and have lost about 40 pounds. This is a great material.
It was at age 16 that I found out, I was diagnosed to have type 1 diabetes after a blood test. This is very educative [Go Here=== https://plus.google.com/102443457991099589207/posts/4xio2WyZm3Z ]. I had just got over tonsillitis when I suddenly became thirsty, urinating often than normal (clear and colorless), and in about a month I lost 30 pounds, my vision became blurred. Instead of fighting the tonsillitis infection, my body attacked the pancreas. Now I'm 28, feel grateful to come across this.
I alwas lick the blood of my finger after testing too and i thought i was the only diabetic vampire,… Anyway that was a great presentation, i wish mine was as good as that ..
Some good advice is the book. Very informative. Go there >>>>>>

Hey guys world is developing too fast . Still looking around for a diabetes free life ? This could help you out if you want . http://vur.me/thefrr/DiabetesDestroyer Don’t forget to say me thanks if you like that.
"Sorry, but this app is not available in your country."
That's ridiculous. But then – we don't have netflix in "our country" either 🙂 .
It's not true that brain runs just on glucose, it can also use ketone bodies!
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!
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.
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.
Anybody know what is Hybetez Remedy about? I hear many people cure their hypertension safely with Hybetez Remedy (google search it).
Be careful. Some of us hate gamification, even in games.
I am the mother of a son with Type 1 diabetes. I understand your pain and applaud your work to help others who are going through life with this illness. God bless you.
That was amazing it's really deep words ❤️❤️
Watch the YouTube Video – Reversing Type 2 diabetes starts with ignoring the guidlines by Sarah Hallberg
This is so important. I've been living with type 1 diabetes for 17 years now, and I know how it feels to live in fear of that monster. A life controlled by numbers and needles drives us type 1's to dark places. I know that I spent a few years neglecting to care for myself, lying to my doctors, lying to myself even. In fact, I believe it is a very common stage for all type 1's. Sadly, I've watched friends never come out of that stage – at least, not in time – and slip into a coma and die. Those who haven't been there (i.e., endocrinologists) don't understand what drives that. All they know to do is remind us of the dreadful consequences of poor diabetes control – fear. And with that fear continuing to be pumped into us (no pun intended), we don't all make it, or don't even care to. I've always responded to that with, essentially, "I just want it suck less!" Just as you have said. I am grateful for your contribution to my life and the lives of millions of other type 1 diabetics who live in pain, fear, and depression. Thank you!
Fredrik is awesome as usual ! You need a little motivation to take care of your diabetes ? Watch this and upload my Sugr companion!
