Great interview Teach! As a diabetic, one has to completely change their diet. Certainly cut-out the high complex sugar and carbohydrates(bread, starchy food) because carbohydrates converts to glucose (sugar), eat more protein and green vegetables(for iron intake). Make sure you keep monitoring your blood sugar level at least twice a day and lots of exercise. Finally, get your regular check-up and you will live a long healthy life. Folks! we only have one life to live, let's live it to the fullest in good health.

Man I’m in my early 30’s and I’ve been diagnosed with this same diabetes killer and it runs on both sides of my family too. Our Jamaican diet facilitates this killer and we need to wake our people up to this from preschool. Guidance to this legend, long life, health and strength...

[@beats876jamaica6]

Mr Lex I know the mental struggle. My mother just had a toe amputated last year and her mother lost a few toes before she died from diabetes donkey years ago. My paternal grandma died of diabetes too about 7 years ago. I keep glucose monitors with me everywhere I go and check A1C every three months. I also completely changed my died and exercise at least 5 days a week. These lifestyle changes really keep me in check but it’s a lifelong commitment.

[@TerryBubbler]

I'm wondering if the Major has type 1 or 2 diabetes. It can make a difference. To those watching currently afflicted with the type 2 variant, of which many afro-caribbeans are affected by, due to our penchant for slave food and lack of exercise, can be reversed. I'm on the cusp of full diabetes and was prescribed metformin 2½ years ago, as I realised it was down to lifestyle choices, driving everywhere and not exercising sufficiently, knew what I had to do to turn it around. I've started on a mission to eat more healthily and move around more and after 6-9 months of being diagnosed, the Dr allowed me to go drug free as long as I kept losing the weight and watching the carbohydrates and free sugar's in my diet. I'm currently controlling my diabetes with diet alone. I'm sorry to break it to you guys, the food we eat as west Indian's, is the remnants of our slave legacy, we no longer work like slaves to burn off that excess sugar and starch. The key is, get moving, avoid too much starch and carbohydrates and your life will start to improve. Bless
