Did anyone else get hella emotional when Zach said he isn't diabetic anymore? Ahhh congratulations everyone!

[lorraine]

Him going from 7.6 to 5.3 warmed my heart so much

[luckyDancer]

When you don’t have sugar for a while, it’s crazy how sweet regular food tastes

[sarasaleh]

Buzzfeed should make a whole video about Zacks journey. It's truly inspiring.

[Pixelkitty]

I'm so proud of zach!!! he really set his heart on what he wants in life. MUCH LOVE!

[peppa_pig_]

zach's results made me tear up..I wish my dad would listen to us and follow the doctor's diet but he eats pure crap when he KNOWS diabetes is a lifestyle disease and CAN BE CURED! congratulations zach, that takes massive willpower!

[xelainayri]

i literally started crying and clapping when Zack said he was diabetic GO ZACK!!

[isafus]

Zack almost made me cry when he announced he is no longer diabetic :'( <3 sooo happy for him

[WayneJ]

This helped me soo much. Im 19 and I’m a Type 2 Diabetic, and to hear they guy say he was no longer a Diabetic made my heart melt, this filled me with so much joy and passion to get there. And I will. Thanks Buzzfeed!!!

I work for a podiatrist and about 75% of the patient's we see are diabetics, whose blood sugars have gotten so high that it begins to cause nerve damage. They lose feeling in their feet (in extreme cases it is in the fingers), don't feel that they have injured themselves, which then results in a wound that is typically infected by the time we see it. This is the leading cause of amputations in diabetics since many don't heal very well. Please take care of yourself and monitor your feet closely!

Dear Buzzfeed,
Thank you for making this video. I'm 26 years old and I recently found out that I have prediabetes. My family has a history of diabetes and I've been stressing out, frustrated, and angry (at myself) for not taking better care of myself.
This video is so very inspiring and made me cry when Kane, Michelle, and Zach got their results on the last day of the diet. SO PROUD OF ALL 3 OF YOU!
I felt helpless before I watched this video and now I honestly feel like I can accomplish the very same.
I just wanted to say thank you :) and great job to Kane, Michelle, and Zach <3

Congrats everyone. Lifestyle changes are hard, but well worth it. You may shock yourself with the results.

[YasMean]

The dude with the beard and the glasses... Every time you guys do a video with him based on his health life choices I end up a blubbering mess with tears rolling down my face because he's just so genuinely happy to be alive and to be improving his life.

He's an inspiration.

Last November my A1C was 11.7 so I just did my blood test last week and the results came in and my A1C is down to 5.6.

[azukita]

Can I speak to this nutritionist?? She looks so encouraging and less of accuser! That’s what I need 😩😩😩!

[mollysachs]

As a type 1 diabetic, I really appreciated and enjoyed this video. Even though it was dedicated to majorly type 2 diabetes, I feel that It is a topic that really needs to be discussed. Even as a type 1 diabetic for several years, I still have trouble with my diet, exercise and maintaining my A1C so I'm really glad that buzzfeed created this video. Congrats to all for putting in the effort and lowering your A1C! Keep up the good work!

[fashiondog]

Every type 1 just dreams that they could hear those words 'you haven't got it anymore'

[jackyo]

I’m so proud of you Zach you’ve worked so hard in all these videos and it’s paid off.

Any other Type One Diabetics out there watching this?

(For those confused: type one is more genetic or your body just quits giving you insulin, type two is when your insulin can’t be produced properly.)
