Wake up! Team New Zealand - 'Diabetes, prevention is better than cure'

This video is part of the Wake up! Project, designed to mobilise the region’s young people (18-25 years old) on the non-communicable diseases issue and use more dynamic communication techniques to deal with this health topic. Video description below:
Four young female students of Tongan heritage living in New Zealand are mobilising against non-communicable diseases. In their film, they highlight the impact of diabetes, not only on the quality of life of those affected, but also on family members. This moving short film is a strong, sensitive and hopeful call to communities to take better charge of their health.

Such a great film & approach to this deep problem - we need much more of this family and culture-centered approach. Can someone please correct "diabets" in the title? It will get more hits if it is spelt correctly! : )

Thank you for this. This helped me a lot with my Biology assessment.

Nga Mihi wahine ma! Diabetes will increase exponentially because we don't understand what is really happening with our bodies as we live life in Aotearoa. The most important factor is to know that Diabetes Type 2 can be reversed through water fasting, autophagy and keto genesis.
Fasting stops sugar processing and production and through autophagy and keto genesis teaches the body to recycle and regenerate and produce energy by burning fat and amino acids with a cleanerburning energy.
Anyone canbe diabeticagain if burning carbohydrates (sugar) is dominant.
Kia kaha koutou.
A lowcarb diet or water fasting are natural ways to restore health to our people.
