Nico, thank you so much for being so open and honest with us all, so freaking proud of you man! Very grateful to call you a friend!

[@whatchagot2saytv]

Thank you my brotha

[@krystell84]

My Dad died when I was 12. He was 55. He was the healthiest person, ate well, excersized often, a fit man and hard worker but he died from colon after suffering for 4 years. Doing everything you're supposed to do means nothing because look what happened to my family. But, Nico, congratulations! That's truly a big deal because I also know the feeling of improving the blood tests. It really is a big deal.

[@jadedseoul76]

Proud of ya, Nico! That is awesome to hear. My husband was diagnosed with diabetes a lil over a year ago, after he almost died. Had to rush him to ER abd his glucose was 1926. They didn't know how he wasn't in a coma. They called him a miracle patient. Please pray for him because he continues to be pig headed about changing his diet.

[@jessicawhitlock8294]

Will send him some warm thoughts and prayers.

Nico, Thank you so much for this. I have been trying to fight off diabetes for years. Diabetes runs in my family as well. My glucose level has been 98 for years. I have been trying to break the sugar and carb habit for some time. it is very hard. This is an inspiration. Thank you and borahae. 💜

[@nohalfstep4435]

You and me both - sugar and carbs. love your name - that song is in my top three

[@Slyfaerie]

So super proud of you!!! I am following the same journey as well. I have been borderline for years and decided to make that change myself. I have lost 65 lbs so far and my glucose is at 98 fairly consistently. It is a struggle daily but the changes keep me motivated and positive. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! 🎉🎉🎉 Keep up the great work Nico!

[@whatchagot2saytv]

Yes!! CONGRATS FAM!!

[@TheNanasBananas]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Breaking that generational curse !!! I am so proud of you !!! You’re setting a great example not only for your family But for the rest of us !!! His walks with us and it is through HIS strength that we can do anything !!

[@jerimkang2999]

You are right: We DO have the power! My HA1c has lowered the past 2 years but still keeps me pre-diabetic from labs done last week. I am continuing to make dietary changes as I prefer to not take drugs the alleviate the condition. It IS hard but I owe it to myself and my body to be healthier.

[@Artfrg4]

My husband, ten years my senior, lost his entire family due to eating disorders and diabetes. His mother, father, older sister and brother and his younger brother. I’ve been with him through it all for over 30 years now. I believe that the only difference between their lifestyle and his is that I feed him. It took a while to help change his habits, but watching as his family passed away one after the other, it was heart wrenching. It runs through my family as well, on both sides. I was very young and I remember my grandfather in a wheelchair with both legs removed because of diabetes. Congratulations to you! It’s all about life choices. 💜

[@justmyopinion980]

[@bklyngirl913]

Nico, thank you for sharing! Sometimes, you just need to hear that you are not the only one going through the struggle. Like you said, it's a habit, and habits are hard to break. So happy for your health journey as I go through my own.

[@SLiPinBoise]

A whole food plant based diet has been proven to reverse Type 2 diabetes for a while now. I wish more people would talk about that but I think they believe people will find it too hard to do and will choose to take medication to “manage” the disease. I believe that people should at least be told. I am glad you found your way to a healthier lifestyle and I hope your family follows. Congrats!!!

[@rhondastewart6227]

Thank you for sharing this Nico. Also, thank you for not being afraid to acknowledge God. I pray for you and your health to continue to get better and better. Very proud of you! Much love FAM. 💜

Thanks for your honesty regarding your food and health struggles. I, too, have struggled with my weight all my life. Now that I am older (61), my A1C levels have risen. Last yr it was 6.2, it's now 5.9 and I lost 35 lbs. Thank you for sharing. Peace and love to you all. ❤️

My Rhemetologist that I've seen for 13 years retired in December seriously it was the saddest thing ever for me but just like you said what a blessing because he deserves it. I sent him a card to office a few weeks before it was his last day.

[@dawnMcCOT7]

Congratulations I am so happy for you. Nico, your words are helping me to buckel down on my diet. I gained weight due to an under active thyroid and I now have an autoimmune disease. My weakness is sugary drinks. Ice-tea and lemonade are my crack. It's really physically hurting my body. I will take your words of encouragement ❤

[@histfictfan4460]

Congrats- I slipped below the pre-diabetic range a couple of months ago. Now I'm inspired to clean up my overall act. Diabetes just complicates every aspect of our health.

[@penelopepitstock]

Agree 💯 re the corporations being drug dealers, same with the corporations that sell these damaging junk foods - and they’re worse than street dealers because they legally make billions and reinvest that money into marketing and deliberately creating more addictive foods and drinks that they know kill people. I struggle with food addiction too, I hope I can change and do what you’re doing ❤️‍🩹

[@MBAhmo-ry3mg]

Thank you for sharing Nico. I wish you continued health and that you also develop a good relationship with your new doctor. American marketing has us believe that we need to super-size and buy in bulk. A sales strategy that has many caught up in their struggle to cave in to convenience foods. Everything in modertaion can be enjoyed. But health is above all the most important for longevity. Wat to go Nico!💜

[@Frmjoandcharlie]

Congratulations Nico!! That’s a great achievement and I hope you continue to have great health. Random, off topic question but where did you get that hoodie?? I love it!!! 💜

[@patticampbell6743]

Well done Nico! Feeling better because of your actions is so much more satisfying than feeling better from a pill. Love it.

[@Weezeeskids]

Congrats, Nico. So happy for you. I am going through this now. I was told my numbers her high and getting close to pre-diabetes and my other numbers are pretty up there too. I too am trying to change my diet, lifestyle and starting to go more vegetarian than meat without giving it up completely, at least for now. I don't smoke, but I have wine and too much sweets and fast food. So I feel you and appreciate this video as you stand as a testament that it can be done for a healthier life and God=willing, a longer one. Keep us posted!

[@arescoe9055]

So proud of you, there is no magic pill, you have to do the work. I am on a similar journey and appreciate you sharing. Keep up the hard work 💜

[@Vlc506]

Good for you Nico! I to was borderline and then had to start taking pills to lower my level and I started eating better and have lost 70 lbs so far but then got diagnosed with cancer a year ago. So my new diet kinda went out the window. I haven’t gained any back yet and I’m still in treatment for another 4 months. Once that’s done I will hopefully start feeling better and get back to eating better again and lose some more as I still need to lose about 80 lbs. The last few years have been tough between pandemic, losing my dad and cancer but I can finally start to see the end of it and getting back to normal. Keep up the great work on your videos, I’ve been watching since the beginning of your BTS journey and you’ve help us all get through it. Thank you and the guys. 🎉😊💜🇨🇦

Congratulations Nico. I am a diabetic. It is a struggle everyday. Sometimes the numbers really get me down. Great job!

[@ishitarathod3762]

Thank you so much Nico! It's been a great pleasure to listen to you opening on this... My dad has diabetes, and my dad likes the food with a little bit sweetness... He is also changing the diet, and trying his best to keep the diabetes or blood sugar level normal. And thank you so much for telling in this video that don't give attention to negative things in the life, just lean onto positive things. I mean I shouldn't say this, but when i became an ARMY about 1.5 years ago, I got to know that I was not okay. I was at that point of my life where the depression slowly started to affect me badly, and I had the thoughts of s****e constantly in my mind, which must not be taken lightly.... After I became an ARMY and actually bumped into BTS and the entire ARMY community, honestly my personality got changed and I became more robust mentally than before... I'm a student actually and despite of the hard syllabus, the exams and the pressure, I'm able to manage and balance everything in my life just because of BTS and the people like you who are in the ARMY community 💜 Thank you so much! Borahae 💜✨ Edit: Sorry for this long comment -

[@whatchagot2saytv]

I loved reading your comment. Thank you for sharing FAM. It's like BTS said - "So show me, I'll show you"

[@noemibernal4882]

Very inspirational, Nico. Well done and congratulations for your results and taking charge of your narrative! 🎉👏I myself have very recently steered clear of all ultraprocessed products. Thanks to the work of Dr. Chris Van Tulleken, a British doctor, I've learned a lot and I've even got rid of stuff that I'd been consuming for years thinking it was healthy, but that I now know it's also ultraprocessed. So just real food now. All the best 😊💜

[@spkn_hues]

Bravo to you Nico! I could definitely see the progress you’ve been making on your health journey! You look great! Like yourself, and so many others in our community, my family has been plagued with diabetes, mostly on my mother’s side . She passed from diabetes and kidney disease over 20 years ago. I’m also diabetic, I was diagnosed at 9 years old, and it’s done so much damage to me. I’m a dialysis patient as well, and diabetes has left me legally blind. Every day is a struggle… I made the decision in 2017 to change my diet. I chose to try the Paleo diet, and I was 160 lbs to 127 within a year. I cut out a lot of carbs and sugars, fast food, and I stopped drinking regularly. Best decision I could have made for myself… Since then, I’ve struggled a bit. I’ve gained some weight back, and I’m trying to get back to where I was. It’s still a vast improvement compared to before, I just need to stay disciplined. I’m so happy for you Nico! Keep going, I know your body is thanking you for it! Continue being an example for change and good health, and best wishes and love to your family. Diabetes doesn’t have to be the beast that it is, we can control it if we take it seriously. Peace! ✌🏽❤️💜

Congratulations Nico! I’m soooo proud of you. Diabetes runs in my family too. Right now my father is suffering from diabetes, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. I have been in and out of the hospital as well, not from diabetes, but I was born with a form of Sickle Cell Anemia, I have severe asthma and stomach issues so diet is very important to me. I also have severe allergies to many foods, which is why you haven’t seen me much. I’m still here though. Let’s fight together. Thanks soooo much for this report.

Hi Nico. Thank you for this! I am trying really hard to lose weight and get my A1C (diabetes/sugars) numbers down and in normal range right now. You've inspired me to do better.

Nico, I love this video, congratulations to you! I am in a similar situation and have failed over and over again. The struggle continues. I wish my faith was as strong as yours seems to be. You are right, we have enough against us.....for sure. I feel addicted to junk food but I am getting better....long way to go tho. It is truly an addiction....if I break and have cake or junk food, I can feel the addiction kick in immediately. My brain lights up and I don't want to stop. I assume an alcoholic would be the same way with liquor. Thank you so much for making this video.... I am trying to make the same commitment to stay away from fast food. Would you please make more videos like this? They are so relatable and helpful !!

Nico this makes me so sad for you because i can relate as a 44 year old type 1 diabetic ( diagnosed in 2000) i can tell you firsthand that it sucks having to watch everything that you eat ( as far as carbs go) and having to adjust your diet and workout habits but it can be reversed as long as you stick to your doctor's advice and do everything that they advise you to do
