00:00 You are what you eat, they say.
00:04 That's why our hearts are all different.
00:07 Like 39-year-old Chinky, who is on a diet to be fit and healthy.
00:13 The problem is, her diet is about to become a diet.
00:20 Because of her weight loss, she's about to die.
00:29 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the 90s.
00:31 I was also revised several times.
00:35 Chinky was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2015.
00:41 Since then, she's been a regular in her diet.
00:45 And to maintain her health, she found a diet plan.
00:51 I didn't take any sugar or carbohydrates in my diet.
00:59 Based on her own research, she chose to avoid sugar and carbs.
01:04 Because of her diet plan, Chinky lost weight within 6 months.
01:10 I was overweight.
01:12 It's fast because it's only a few weeks, and your weight will go down.
01:18 But the so-called successful diet plan, went back to the tragedy.
01:24 I woke up one day with a severe headache.
01:29 I had a fever.
01:31 I couldn't take it anymore.
01:35 I was taken to the hospital.
01:37 We thought it was dehydration or food poisoning.
01:43 Chinky was admitted to a hospital in Metro Manila.
01:48 The next day, I had to do a test. I was fasting.
01:54 I was not allowed to drink water.
01:56 I remember that I was so sleepy.
02:00 After that, I was already in a coma.
02:03 Chinky was in a coma in the ICU.
02:08 I was also revised several times.
02:12 I think I was revived 4 times.
02:15 I was also intubated.
02:20 After intubation, I needed a trichostomy.
02:28 That's why I have a bruise on my leg.
02:30 I can't breathe alone.
02:31 She had a diabetic ketoacidosis or DKA, a complication of diabetes.
02:39 It was accompanied by sepsis, pneumonia, and intracerebral hemorrhage.
02:45 Diabetic ketoacidosis is one of the most dangerous complications of diabetes.
02:51 It is a condition where the patient's blood sugar is very high.
02:58 The common symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis are often nausea and vomiting.
03:05 If you don't eat, you may feel breathlessness, headache, fatigue, and pain in the intestines.
03:13 It can also cause stomach pain and vomiting.
03:17 Usually, it comes from the patient's insulin level.
03:23 When the high blood sugar, dehydration, and buildup of acid in the body,
03:29 that's what causes diabetic ketoacidosis.
03:33 DKA is a life-threatening condition.
03:37 High levels of ketones can be toxic to the body.
03:42 That's why it's important to consult a doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms.
03:48 Ketones are chemicals in the body that can be a byproduct of excessive breakdown of fat in the body.
04:00 When excessive breakdown of fat in the body occurs,
04:05 the production of ketones in the body increases.
04:09 In the case of Chingki, because there is no glucose in her body,
04:14 she started processing fats in her body to become energy.
04:19 Because of this, the production of ketones increased and the blood became acidic.
04:24 According to experts, people with type 1 diabetes often have diabetic ketoacidosis.
04:31 But do you know that this can develop into type 2 diabetes?
04:38 DKA is not exclusive to type 1 diabetes.
04:41 In the past, the mortality rate of type 1 diabetes was high.
04:47 I would say it was around 80 to 90 percent.
04:50 But now, since the awareness is high, especially for doctors,
04:55 it's easy to identify and treat people with type 1 diabetes at the emergency room level.
05:02 According to the International Diabetes Federation,
05:06 4.3 million people in the country have diabetes.
05:10 So, the question is, what is the right diet for people with diabetes?
05:17 The most important thing is a balanced diet.
05:20 A little carbohydrate, little fats, protein, and of course, a lot of vegetables.
05:26 When they make platon, they fill half of it with vegetables.
05:30 We like the proteins from plants the most.
05:34 For example, mung beans are rich in protein.
05:38 Tofu, tofu, plant-based proteins are good for patients with diabetes.
05:45 And also, fish.
05:47 One-fourth of their plate is rice, bread, noodles, and carbohydrates.
05:50 Ideally, carbohydrates that are rich in fiber.
05:53 Wait a minute, doc.
05:55 Is it really prohibited to eat rice for people with diabetes?
05:59 We are not against rice for diabetes.
06:02 Our enemy is a lot of rice.
06:05 Just the right amount of carbohydrates can still achieve good glucose control in patients.
06:12 Fruit is also not prohibited for patients with diabetes.
06:16 They can actually eat fruit because fruits have natural sugars.
06:20 Doc also added that what should be avoided is drinking soft drinks and alcohol,
06:26 and even paninigarinio.
06:28 Doc also reminded those with diabetes who want to try the diet plan,
06:33 it is important to consult a doctor first.
06:36 It is really important that they receive nutritional counseling,
06:41 at least once in their life, especially for patients with diabetes,
06:45 so that they can know what kind of food and how much food they will eat per meal.
06:52 Meanwhile, after more than one month in the hospital,
06:55 Chinky is now out.
06:57 Her strength is slowly returning.
06:59 She also stopped the diet plan.
07:03 So from no carbs, no sugar, it's now balancing carbs and balancing sugar.
07:08 What I changed was, of course, first of all, the food.
07:11 I totally avoided the things that can be avoided,
07:14 that eating not only the sweet food.
07:16 Chinky admitted that she stopped drinking maintenance before going to the hospital.
07:21 When I found out that I was diabetic, I took medicine, but not for that long.
07:26 So now, it's a lesson learned.
07:30 Medicine is really important.
07:32 So whatever is in the recipe, I need to take it.
07:37 And I have a regular checkup now.
07:39 She also reminded her colleagues who are fighting diabetes.
07:44 If we are really going to diet, we need to consult doctors or nutritionists, dietitians,
07:53 because we cannot imitate what we see in others,
07:57 because it may affect others.
07:59 But not all diets are for everyone.
08:06 Dear friends, diet is not easy.
08:09 It still needs to be in line with your body's condition.
08:12 Consult a specialist first,
08:15 so that the diet you are aiming for may be effective and will not put your life in danger.
