Your videos always give me goosebumps, truly a beautiful video that I not only got a feeling of connection from but learned as much as one could ever learn in such a short space about being someone with T2D. Our common advisor has said so many times that the most important thing you can find out with your patients is what’s at stake for them, you’ve done this wonderfully here.

This is a great vid Jubilee Project! Very inspirational..my dad was dx with DM 2, years ago & he still hasn’t learned from it. I’m gonna share this video to him and hope and pray that he changes at least one aspect in his diet/lifestyle, not only for us, his family, but also for himself.

I cried when this video ended, it reminded of my grandma who died last month at the age 56 because of diabetes, this video is very touching.. and i also feel compassionate to these people in the video and other people around the world that are victims of diabetes 2, there should be a cure… but it very beautiful how these people have a strong voice. And very great Jubilee project !

Good start, but this needed the younger generation that is not the usual face of Type II diabetes too. Its those in their 20s to 50s that are in the worst denial thinking is that it is disease of the elderly and the extremely obese, not them.

Good job! Plans to make a Type 1 video? There’s definitely a different community out there for that.
November 14th, 2011 at 4:04 pm

November 14th, 2011 at 4:43 pm
