She finds the health care in Kuwait more accessible than in Canada because she went to a private clinic and no, the hospital stay was not just $50. She is lying again.
She also never followed up on anything in Canada , she just went to the ER for a quick fix. She never followed the doctor's instructions or made any specialist appointments. So, of course, the care is 'better' - she did what she was told to do. If she had actually done anything in Canada it would have been the same with fewer complications she now has.
I found an article that ranks cost of healthcare in different countries and Kuwait was 12th most expensive with an average cost of $677 per day in a hospital bed lol
@@jenniferh7297 oooooo! Interesting! Yeah, I’m pretty sure 🍇💩boy, the clueless wonder, handles the finances and she has no clue. She’ll find out real quick when it’s over and her bank account is -$5000.
She needs to stop saying she’s sick. She doesn’t have the flu, pneumonia, etc. Her body is failing because of how she has chosen to live her life. Everything that is wrong with her is self-induced. I have no pity, none.
This. "I'm sick". No, ma'am. You have surpassed "sick" and gone on to your body quite literally shutting down because of the abuse YOU have put it through. What's sad is her defiance will continue and she will still refuse to change. She has to stick it to thr haydurs.
Yeah, she's just thinking about how long she had to wait to see someone in Canada recently. The problem with her thinking is that if she'd kept up with her appointments years ago, she wouldn't have had that problem. She got fired from all her medical professionals for noncompliance, which meant she needed new ones, and unfortunately the Canadian health care system is really backed up. Once again, it's down to her choices.
She really doesn’t understand that because she PAYING for it, they will jump through their bums to help because they make more money from cash paying patients than they do from the patients that are on government benefits. She would’ve received the same exact results if she paid in Canada. She had all the same benefits in Canada and she threw it right back into the doctors faces to the point they dismissed her for noncompliance
@@christimason1826 Whatever it is, I wonder how much longer she'll be able to afford it. And if all the ER/DR visits will somehow jeopardize her next visa.She's not a resident, and a tourist with a long list of Medical problems might be a big red flag.
@@christimason1826 they apparently have a different system (according to Milk Tea, which is now in Oman and previously lived in UAE). Like the clinic doctor visit includes all initial things that he prescribed. However, does not include (at home) medications. It was so odd to me that my brain couldn’t grasp such a difference! I’d suggest if she plans to “live there” 3 months then visa run, repeat, forever, she needs insurance. I think she’d be able to get travelers insurance before she went back in Kuwait? That’s supposed to be mandatory for tourist visa, but clearly she’s been getting away with it. 🙄
I still find it so odd how she grins triumphantly after saying "he put me on *fifteen* units of insulin!" Most diabetics are trying to REDUCE their insulin use, not increase it. She not only doesn't understand insulin, she doesn't understand diabetes. Insulin is still a magic bullet and a pathway to being able to mukbang for her. She also didn't tell us all the meds she's on - "they have Arabic writing on them" ok then..... btw? there is NO WAY her a1c was 9. Not on any planet. Not with the numbers she's been having.
I'm just waiting for the inevitable "I saw the doctor and he said I can eat whatever I want" video. Of course, followed by a massive rice and bread feeder video.
@@Ophelia1023 He better! he is now a "caretaker" and seems to be at her beck and call for the "emergency health" runs......I hope he is up to date on his license, lol
She doesn’t realize her organs are failing and all the medications the doctor has put her on, is all to try to stop it. She really thinks because she’s on insulin now, she’ll be able to eat whatever she wants and as much as she wants. She took all these steps in Canada when she was first diagnosed with diabetes and look where she is now, all because she didn’t do what she should’ve years ago
She still thinks she can adjust her meds to accommodate her feeds. Playing with the numbers doesn't mean she's preventing organ damage. She needs so much help.
It’s too late; she’s already in MOF. She had her chance, before the hysterectomy, to try attempt to pump the brakes, but she chose to hit the gas. Couldn’t happen to a nicer animal abuser.
@@witchofthewildwoods3496I see her absolutely eating whatever she wants and trying to cover with insulin. This is a very dangerous game. At this point she can only work to not get worse. Eat up, Cutie!
If this doesn't wake her up, NOTHING will. Love your spreadsheets, and Chantal needs to have spreadsheets to keep up with her lies. One minute health care is expensive in Kuwait, then the next minute, it's very cheap. Which is it, Chantal????
@@SansaCooks but didn't Chantal get cancer tho and that didn't make her change her ways I don't think Chantal diabetes is going to make her take it seriously
She hears what she wants to hear and remembers what she wants to remember. She's going to decline faster and faster. I'm in the camp that thinks the "hospital" food was takeout that Salah brought her.
There are some diabetics who lose one foot and still continue their dangerous habits and continue to lose limbs until their end. It's sad to see it but also so frustrating
Way too common. My arrogant, SOB father had a stroke, amputation of toes and near total blindness before a heart attack took him out. Chantal is arrogant and defiant. She has no rock bottom.
Spot on. She doesn’t realize that it’s cheap because they are just keeping her alive. When it comes time to knuckle down and get more and more tests, paying out of pocket will be no joke
Rather than health arc, I'd call it Medical arc. Atp, she's not doing it to regain her health but rather to patch what's already broken with medicine and hospital visits.
Look, here’s the long and short of it, we will NEVER receive true information from this one unless or until we’re seeing it post mortem. She’s simply incapable of understanding anything and secondly, even if she did, she’d still continue to lie.
She’s definitely getting worse and worse and I’m sure it’s going to get expensive. Just her meds seem to be minimum 50 KWD a month, which adds up over time. And that’s not counting clinic visits and hospital stays.
She's not going to want to hear, No Sugar, No Bread, No Rice, No Huge Meals. Exercise, not a marathon just walking every hour. She Cannot remain Sitting Laying All day.
@@sandihj If she just stopped eating thousands of calories a day and ate a regular adult portion she would lose weight really fast until she platoues. Its so easy! but she won't do it because she thinks he has to eat huge amounts for some reason. I think she's equating love or satisfaction to feeling stuffed or something? her mom and grandma must have really screwed her up. She needs to see a mental health person who does food addictions. I don't see her stopping eating unless she does. I don't think she will even go to the diabetes education thing. She doesn't want the truth
Yes! She should go to one of those gorgeous malls in Kuwait and walk in a/c every day. When she hits a goal she can treat herself to a delicious (sugar free) iced tea!
Milk tea did a breakdown of the cost of those meds and she's going to have to cough that up every month. There was also a situation in the past few months where she said she was on antibiotics for cellulitis. You can add that to your next spreadsheet lol
As a Canadian diabetic nurse educator, it’s a good thing that much of this is being treated but she doesn’t acknowledge her responsibility in much of it. It’s incredibly frustrating. She said that no matter what she did, she couldn’t get her glucose under control. Does she mean that her binging, mukbangs and noncompliance to treatment didn’t help her diabetes? Big shocker. What exactly did she do? She cannot accept any responsibility for her actions. Rather than listening to her doctors, she chose to do what she wanted and the end result of it is the need for 3 meds to control diabetes, ongoing infections due to her uncontrolled glucose, likely kidney damage and the need for cholesterol meds due to her poor food choices. This is where noncompliance and no impulse control has gotten her. Being lazy and irresponsible instead of following medical advice has put her here. Despite her heaping praise on the medical care in Kuwait, Canada would have provided this and much more had she been truthful and actually followed through. One example that immediately comes to mind based on my career in diabetes management is the use of lantus insulin. While this is still used and was a common treatment for type 2 in the past, it has a major side effect of weight gain. If you’ve ever watched my 600 lb life, you’ll notice that this is why Dr. Now immediately tries to get his patients off of it. Type 2 diabetes can often be reversed in these patients with weight loss so it is counterproductive to put them on meds to prevent it. In Canada, she would likely have instead been placed on an ozempic type injectable medication instead that would not only decrease her glucose and control diabetes, but also promote weight loss. This might be the only med required but instead, she now requires 3, including insulin. She also received no instruction there prior to starting insulin. Compared to current treatment in North America for a supermorbidly obese diabetic, this is an older approach that leads me to believe that citizenship and residential status has created a 2 tier approach to treatment there. We saw this with her sciatica treatment, when pain meds were not provided to those on a travel visa (like her) and she instead got vitamin injections. I have to also wonder if more modern treatments that we see in the west for diabetes were also not provided. I noticed as well that she tried to downplay the use of zocor. Chantal received this for 1 reason,….lifestyle choices that were reflected by her cholesterol levels on her bloodwork. She instead tried to downplay the reason for it as though it was kidney related. I assure you, in this care it was not. She also has declined to explain the reason for the ongoing infections. In the past year, there has been numerous skin infections (boils or abscesses) and UTIs or kidney infections. This is very common with those with uncontrolled diabetes. It is often how diabetes is first discovered. It has triggered much of her diabetic care and yet, she has rarely of ever correlated the two. This debacle has made it very clear to me that had Chantal been truthful when she 1st saw this doctor, she would not be in her current position. Her claims of being “so happy” because of this treatment should instead be one of “I’m so irresponsible” because had she listened the 1st time, she’d require a fraction of this treatment and likely not require insulin today. She is again trying to pat her back as if she has helped herself instead of creating the situation. She was to follow up with this 1st doctor, who was an internal med specialist I believe. She instead chose not to. She knew that she wasn’t following guidelines or sticking to the diet plan so rather than admitting that or him discovering this by returning there , she chose to go to random other clinics instead where she could tell them her version of the truth. She could deny her noncompliance. She could feign ignorance. Chantal chose to start and stop her meds despite having glucose levels in the 400s at times. She chose to resume mukbangs, binge eat and consume endless amounts of carbs even when not taking meds. She chose to do no activity to burn off even a few calories, such as clean her home. Her enabler chose to facilitate this, knowing the cost to both her health and their wallet when she would need specialized care for each medical crisis due to her choices.
I’m Canadian and I wish you could help me. I was sent to the diabetes clinic and they told me to follow the Canada Food Guide. I responded with, so you can get me on more meds, especially insulin? Because that is where that leads. The person looked at me like I was an alien and that was it. No questions about why I think that, just silence and if you have any questions, let us know. Ffs, the Canada Food Guide is paid for by lobbyists and has absolutely nothing to do with what is healthy to eat for a human let alone a diabetic. But there is a sea of conflicting information beyond that and I’m a little confused.
tbh we have already been there imo... she's continued going downhill. nothing will save her because she doesn't want saving, she wants to eat what she wants and do what she wants until the end. and the end is coming very soon
The reason why everything is so accessible is because she’s paying out of pocket and because of that they are going to give her the best possible visitor experience.
@@SansaCooks and no one can tell me otherwise that she didn’t have a severe medical issue in Thailand. She thinks she’s hoodwinked us all when she goes silent for a few days; but joke is her - she is only lying to herself at this point. Be it a visa run or a medical issue, when she is off yt for more than three days, we no longer have to come up with a list of potential situations that she could be doing. I just wonder if the hospital and the clinic have Shmeeee’s direct phone number, or if it’s only the enabling PedoUncleSyphilis who has given her number to the Kuwaiti hospital system.
You really do try to explain in professional terms what Chantal is doing and ways to help herself. I prefer dragging her she simply refuses to understand that putting in the work and staying consistent pays off. She rather jealously lash out at people like yourself or me. But I know what I am fighting for and I will keep at it. Your Macros have helped so much especially during my vacation. So thank you Sansa you are very appreciated.
Her joking about a "tablet mukbang" is both telling and scary. Thank you yet again for your well informed videos. I have learned so much. 🌸 You are very much appreciated 🌸
So I originally said when she was sick on her walk that she had super, sticky dry mouth, and seemed to noticeably be avoiding having water. At one point, she even says, okay I’ll have a sip now. Now, we all know what with her onslaught of super high blood glucose readings and out of control eating, came LOTS of liquids and thirst. Initially, I recall literally cringing 😬 at her grocery hauls and her counting half gallons of juice like treasures, slurping down cases of orange “drink” juice, etc etc… So even during the FOF reaction channels I’m gonna Mukbang all day every day weeks before this, I noticed she’d changed to zero sugar beverages and 🤔… So she was aware that drinking the large quantities of sugary drinks was making it worse but still was swigging water and such. So back to walk day…. I thought to myself, her kidneys aren’t working right. She knows that if she drinks, it won’t come out and cause her to just swell. And I also said her “sciatica” most likely was a return of flank pain. I’m curious at this point how much kidney damage has been done. An infection is one thing and yes, diabetics without control are more likely to have them, but I think it’s more serious and affects her function. I believe this is going to get more complicated, more serious and she’s going to get more laid back and let in more foods and that’s when we will see if she can maintain this in Kuwait. I do think she simply wants a medication that will stop all this and let her Beese (eat whatever she wants in peace) I also believe FB has a bit of hypochondriac in her in that she enjoys being the sick girl with a sad tummy, give her treat in special packaging and special care…. But only up until it becomes a barrier to her having what she wants. It’s why she has been dx’d and prescribed so many times yet never has any follow through. This won’t go away though.
She opens diabetic needles now like it is a special treat. I can't get over that. Does she ever look at her videos and wonder about her own reactions 🧐
The doctor said she needs to get her weight under control if she would have lost the 38 pounds like she is claiming the doctor would have congratulated her and said great start....
Twitter smartly noticed the chicken and rice in the hospital was served in a take out container in a cardboard box like how her take out usually comes, so Salah probably brought it to her.
I can't believe she's shitting on Canada healthcare she had so much more opportunity back there. Now the drs are acting more concerned because they need to cover their asses because she's on her way out!
They are acting concerned cause she s paying cash . I don’t think they necessarily need to cover their ass. It can be easily proven she has been willfully non compliant in the past . She says it in videos. I don’t know Kuwait , but many Countries are not like America where you can sue for anything , it could be very difficult to prove the drs did anything wrong . Especially with a morbidly obese woman that just moved there 2 years ago. I m sure they don’t want her to die, but she did this to herself mainly , not the drs.
Honestly, her myopic attitude to daily life in general makes for a very shallow existence. Gorging and raging will ALWAYS be the only constant in her life.
I think you can’t believe a word she says. When she was raging before, she claimed the glucose meter was only reading so high because it was broken and not calibrated correctly. Now when she wants her current high readings to look like progress, she’s telling us her numbers were in fact what they were showing up as on that new meter. Her lies about how affordable healthcare is for her there changes with each story. At first she claimed it was cheap. Then she said it was expensive and she needed to go back to Canada solely for her health. Now she’s back to saying it was cheap again. Obviously, her story for the price being the same for a clinic visit before and for a clinic visit, +hospitalization + patient education course is sus. None of these doctors are been given a full picture. What she really likes about this whole hospitalization process is all the attention from doctors and from Salah. She also was happy that the doctor supposedly said she could reverse a lot of this with diet changes. What she heard was that she could eat her idea of healthy, Whole Foods for a few days and poof, diabetes be gone! Or maybe like before, eat what she wants as long as she has a unilicity drink first… She’s already saying she’s feels better and is harping on her supposed weight loss. In her mind, if she eats one so called healthy meal, she acts like she has turned her whole life around. Just like last time, she briefly lost some of her food cravings for a few days due to being sick. She acted like she conquered her eating disorder and had been on a healthy eating plan for months. She was educating people and looking back at her behavior from the distant past of two weeks prior with disbelief and was certain she’d never go back to that. All we kept hearing was how she lost 15 kg so she must be doing something right. Nevermind she looked bigger than ever and was just coming off of being massively sick. According to her then, the illness probably wasn’t even diabetes related because Salah had it too.
This isn’t being mean but she is huge. There’s no way I would ever believe she’s under 450. We have eyes and can see what she looks like now compared to what she did in Canada (before the Kuwaiti arc even started).
As I have said before foodie and ALR only tell new truths on old lies if it helps support their newest lie . She said in this video that her blood sugar is the lowest it has been but weeks prior she said her blood sugar never increased more than 10/11 . She doesn't have the desire to break this cycle and she is Jen 2.0 .
I love how she thinks that after ignoring and letting her diabetes go untreated for six years, she can just take some pills, and everything will magically go away. 😂
It's so strange that her voice is excited and elevated. She even seemed thrilled to open the box of diabetic needles. I felt she was showing her 'prize' she won. That is not a normal reaction. Most people would be depressed about it. Personally, I would be devastated and probably start crying.
Historically, Chantal’s inconsistency is what’s made her unlike able. With the amount of danger on her organs with the diabetes, she is setting herself up for failure. Rage, back to mukbangs, rinse repeat.
The fuse on the ticking time bomb of her health is getting shorter and shorter. The damage she has willingly done to her body can't be overstated. I had a patient this month in his 40s with an A1c of 6ish code multiple times; he's now on life support getting worked up for dual organ transplant and he's actually lucky in this scenario. I foresee nothing but medical catastrophes in her future.
@@Ophelia1023 When it's the only option for someone still fairly young, a lot of facilities will at least consider transplant. Being compliant with medications and treatment is one of the criteria; so if diabetes can stay controlled it won't make someone ineligible.
Her presentation of all this info while holding back smiling and laughing is disturbing. Also the juxtaposition of her mukbang thumbnails against her health crisis thumbnails. If she goes back to mukbangs after this she really needs to be removed from YT.
I agree I felt like she was flexing about all the meds, almost convincing herself that this is the answer to let her continue to do what she does but the medicine will keep her going. SMH its actually sad watching someone do this to themselves in real time.
Yeah, and honestly all it is going to do is allow her to mukbang just a little longer before it's too late. It's just a band aide for it all. The medicine will only work if she changes her diet, adds exercise, and loses weight, otherwise it's all for nothing. So many terminally ill people in this world that would give anything to live and be healthy and here she is throwing her life away and happy about it. Sickens me!
@@SuperHuntress25 agree I think its what frustrates me the most about her, is so many people in the world that would love opportunity to be healthy and extend their lives.
Imagine videoing & monetizing life threatening afflictions, and being almost giddy about it. To her, this is enjoyable, educational, marketable content. To us, it's sad, pathetic, desperate, and infuriating attention seeking.
As usual, you provide clear and informative analysis Sansa. The one thing I'll point out is MANY T2 wind up requiring insulin even with good control per my doctor. It all depends how much pancreatic beta cell function is left once the factors leading to insulin resistance are controlled (diet, obesity). I had some Beta function left but over time I had to add a little Lantus. If Foodie is discouraged this early in this latest "health arc", then she'll never make it. It can take months of dosing adjustments, medication changes, dietary manipulations, exercise and weight loss to get tight control. Then once you have control it's a lifelong process to stay there. (been there done that) Can anyone honestly say that she has that amount of effort and dedication in her? Methinks not! Something is indeed not passing the smell test. I'm MUCH smaller than Foodie and had MUCH lower sugars at the time and I was started on 20 units Lantus.
Yup. I volunteered to go on insulin years ago because I couldn't function with metformin, after trying several times. Not everyone gets used to it and people who haven't been on it don't know how much gastric distress it can cause (I'm trying to be polite here). Over the years, I've greatly reduced my dosage, and there are days when I need very little (like 4 units) or none at all. And my Lantus use has gone from 70 to 16. Big difference. It's not a failure for a T2 to use insulin. It's another choice among many diabetic medicines. All that said, I've been doing this for > 29 years. Chantal is never going to learn how to dose her insulin correctly for the carbs. She'll either use too little or use a lot to cover the hubcaps of rice. She'll never be compliant - which won't work out well for her.
@@calendarpage That's great! I'm happy for your success. When you think of it, insulin is more "natural" and "physiologic" than the chemicals used in a lot of diabetes pills. BTW I hear you on the Metformin GI issues. I take the ER form so it's a lot less. Still there are days when I'm "driving the porcelain bus" if you get my meaning.💩🚽🧻
I truly appreciate your voice in this community. You are kind and informative. I fear Foodie is not long for this world or will have a very painful journey.
I stepped away from Foodie Beauty-related content for a few days(mainly because of life stuff and the fact that she disappeared for a while), and BOY, has she ballooned since the last time I saw her! If she believes that Kuwait's medical system is more accessible than in Canada, she's completely incorrect. It's pretty much the same, because she's paying for it DIRECTLY instead of paying taxes to help fund its universal healthcare system. When I was ALLEGED(I say alleged, because the doctor made that suggestion WITHOUT testing me) to be severely allergic, I was given two meds: Nasal spray and cetirizine. Turned out I needed NEITHER, because blood tests I got after my initial diagnosis proved I wasn't allergic to ANYTHING. And I wasn't happy about the medications I didn't need. If she's giddy about medications, then she'd better start setting up timers for when to take her next dose of medicine. If she's going to be reliant on medicines to be able to make a living, that's a very sad life she lives and one that will eventually be cut short when she doesn't realize it.
What are the chances that she’s going to follow dr. instructions this time around.. that she will follow a strict diabetic diet consistently, go to all her appts. and classes, take meds/ injections properly daily as well as exercise routinely. In order to help herself, she’s going to have to do ALL of these things!
She will just keep going on and off medication and eating junk until it's lights out. Until she checks herself into inpatient care for BED and is in there longer then a few days.... there is no hope.
She loves their health care over Canada because theres probably a language barrier and they don't ask her excessive questions. She just wants meds to do the job for her and is suprised she has to put in some work too.
Excellent job on the spreadsheet. I did a lot of these at work. It really makes it easy for your audience to understand and is a useful tool. Thank you, Sansa❤
She sounds giddy and Idk if it's about being sick and having something to talk about, or the fact that she thinks that the meds are working and she can go back to eat whatever she wants
You did an excellent job with your analysis of Chantal's medication. What was missed was Chantal's 'giveaway' concerning her actual weight. She told us that she was instructed to take 15 units of insulin a day. As you know insulin dosage is in part determined by the patient's actual weight. Since Lantus is dosed at 0.2 units for every 2.2 pounds of body weight, Chantal unknowingly gave us her actual weight. What makes this issue even more problematic is that she is still told to take 100 mg of Januvia twice daily. ' Gorl, you a lie, at 340 lbs/154 kgs'. Sansa, you're always right when you say 'Chantal always gives herself away'. When you play dumb games you win dumb prizes.
@@s3304 That's correct, but as I mentioned, the real information is determined by the continued dosing of Januvia at 100 mg twice daily. Januvia dosage, like Lantus, is dosed in part by weight and A1C blood sugar levels. Her Januvia dosage would then be determined based on the efficacy levels achieved by the Lantus. Think of it as building a basement before you build a house's first floor. The Januvia dosage Chantal takes is indicated for a person with a weight between 200 to 250 lbs./91kg to 114 kg. Therefore, resulting in Chantals' indicated weight range of 365 lbs. to 415 lbs. /166 kg to 188 kg. (200 + 165)/(250 + 165). Keeping in mind this is only an approximation, but a very good one. I hope this helps. My actual belief is that her true weight exceeds 425 lbs. /193 kg.
Why does she act as if she hasn't had Diabetes for years.!?! She needs a Regular PCP and Endocrinologist! Shes has ran from Doctors for years... Only going to clinics... And this video she made is sus... She is lying about something and doesn't know what she is doing...
Thank you Sansa for always giving us concise practical information. You've helped me pay more attention to what I eat especially the sodium. I don't have much hope for Chantal.
Canada has an infrastructure problem, too many people not enough resources due to bad policy. It impacts our heath care in really challenging ways. It’s hard for me as a Canadian to get what I need sometimes so I can’t imagine how hard it must be for immigrants. Foodie has no clue how lucky she has been with receiving help in time. She needs to be pro active about this stuff. I got a tetanus shot the other day because I had a nail in my foot. In hopes of not going to the er with a full blown infection I was proactive and followed health guidelines of betting a booster shot within 48 hours of the injury. I was lucky to find somewhere that had the time to see me. Foodie is doing the total opposite and letting her infections/health issues fester until she needs to go the hospital.
This seems odd but I think she is glad to be on insulin bc she thinks she can eat as she likes and then just adjust her insulin injections to compensate. Basically a free pass to indulge. If this is the case then she has no understanding of how her body works or what this will do to her organ systems. Thanks for another great review 💚🌹💚 you are appreciated
I'm legit worried she's not going to understand how insulin works and take too much. My cat is on the same type of insulin. The dose builds up over days, which is why you start conservative and slowly bring the dose up every few days and monitor CAREFULLY. Foodie seems the type to inject extra just to eat a big meal, and that's NOT how this works. It would be a huge, huge mistake. Salah will have to get familiar with hypoglycemia and figure out how to get her help because she'll go too loopy to get help herself. Forgive me for not having any faith in him doing that either. This is scary. Insulin is not something you want to be peak Dunning-Kruger over.
I feel like she is trying to pin her diabetes on some other illness and it very rarely works that way (as in I'm not aware she has been receiving steroid injections which may raise blood sugar). She needs to address her diet and weight...period...she cannot run from this.
Right ? My 69 brother is type 2 diabetic and really manages it well . Only on meds. He travels from NE USA to Spain ( about 7 hour flight) and he has a tough time managing his BSL’s. She s going to crack trying to travel with needles , meds , insulin and trying to eat at proper intervals . I think even border hopping via car is going to be very hard on her mentally and physically.
I think she’s trying to make it seem like out of pocket healthcare in Kuwait is affordable and that would decrease the amount of comments she’d have to delete telling her to go back home. People feel helpless and think going back home is best for her but you are right Sansa, she never tried. No matter where she is, her food addiction is with her. And the fact that she isn’t willing to learn about the how and why it’s there means she’s not going to change. I’ve been watching Maryam Muckbang and even though they are two different channels, I haven’t felt any anger and animosity watching her. It’s been nice.
I'm really getting tired of her blaming her high BS on being sick. I'm a T2 and had a flesh eating bacteria with8 secondary infections, emergency surgey, coma for a week, in ICU on a ventilator for a week, and in the hospital for a month, and my numbers NEVER got that high. EVER! Her numbers were that high because she stuffed her face, sat on her azzz, and laid around in the seal position, doing nothing. She thought she could eat like a p*g if she over used her Metformin. Magically, EVERY symptom she had when she said she was so sick is a symptom of Metformin OD. Look it up. Every symptom including dry cough, lower back pain, and difficulty urination. I think she was taking many more than 3 Metformin a day, TBH.
Foodie is the only person I know who is repeatedly shocked to learn she has type 2 diabetes every 1-2 years.
Good point!
Exactly! She's been talking about diabetes since maybe 2018. She acts like this is a new thing.
She also knew about her enlarged heart (years ago) and had medication against it that she didn't take.

She also never followed up on anything in Canada , she just went to the ER for a quick fix. She never followed the doctor's instructions or made any specialist appointments. So, of course, the care is 'better' - she did what she was told to do. If she had actually done anything in Canada it would have been the same with fewer complications she now has.
I found an article that ranks cost of healthcare in different countries and Kuwait was 12th most expensive with an average cost of $677 per day in a hospital bed lol
@@gigibythesea1133EXACTLY. Also, they have not deemed her noncompliant yet.
@@jenniferh7297 oooooo! Interesting!
Yeah, I’m pretty sure 🍇💩boy, the clueless wonder, handles the finances and she has no clue. She’ll find out real quick when it’s over and her bank account is -$5000.
She needs to stop saying she’s sick. She doesn’t have the flu, pneumonia, etc. Her body is failing because of how she has chosen to live her life. Everything that is wrong with her is self-induced. I have no pity, none.
@@SandNSurf you're 100% correct, Diabetes is a Chronic Disease
🎉🎉 yup 👍🏽
Same. I don’t feel sorry for her AT ALL.
This. "I'm sick". No, ma'am. You have surpassed "sick" and gone on to your body quite literally shutting down because of the abuse YOU have put it through. What's sad is her defiance will continue and she will still refuse to change. She has to stick it to thr haydurs.
AMEN!!!! I applaud this comment! I am SICK of hearing her say she's "sick"!
Every bit of it is HER fault. No sympathy here either ...
Healthcare is 'more accessible' in creamy Kuwait because YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT,Chins.
Yeah, she's just thinking about how long she had to wait to see someone in Canada recently. The problem with her thinking is that if she'd kept up with her appointments years ago, she wouldn't have had that problem. She got fired from all her medical professionals for noncompliance, which meant she needed new ones, and unfortunately the Canadian health care system is really backed up. Once again, it's down to her choices.
She really doesn’t understand that because she PAYING for it, they will jump through their bums to help because they make more money from cash paying patients than they do from the patients that are on government benefits. She would’ve received the same exact results if she paid in Canada. She had all the same benefits in Canada and she threw it right back into the doctors faces to the point they dismissed her for noncompliance
@@christimason1826 Whatever it is, I wonder how much longer she'll be able to afford it. And if all the ER/DR visits will somehow jeopardize her next visa.She's not a resident, and a tourist with a long list of Medical problems might be a big red flag.
Right? Jeez Chantal , CASH and a passport can get you good healthcare!
@@christimason1826 they apparently have a different system (according to Milk Tea, which is now in Oman and previously lived in UAE). Like the clinic doctor visit includes all initial things that he prescribed. However, does not include (at home) medications. It was so odd to me that my brain couldn’t grasp such a difference!
I’d suggest if she plans to “live there” 3 months then visa run, repeat, forever, she needs insurance. I think she’d be able to get travelers insurance before she went back in Kuwait? That’s supposed to be mandatory for tourist visa, but clearly she’s been getting away with it. 🙄
I still find it so odd how she grins triumphantly after saying "he put me on *fifteen* units of insulin!" Most diabetics are trying to REDUCE their insulin use, not increase it. She not only doesn't understand insulin, she doesn't understand diabetes.
Insulin is still a magic bullet and a pathway to being able to mukbang for her.
She also didn't tell us all the meds she's on - "they have Arabic writing on them" ok then.....
btw? there is NO WAY her a1c was 9. Not on any planet. Not with the numbers she's been having.
@@TxVoodoo_ Everything you said 100%.
I felt the same way--her delivery of all this information is so strange.
Not to mention the Lantus won't help her all that much when she mukbangs 300g of carbs in one sitting. She's a ticking time bomb.
Yeah but she’s going to be pissed when she realizes she basically revealed her true weight with that statement. Dumbass. 😂😂😂😂

@@SansaCooks Exactly. As were her phrasing, 'I'm so happy.' Relief I could understand, but happy?!
She doesn’t want to change her diet at all. She just wants the meds to do it all for her.
Pretty much!
Yes you're 100% correct.
I'm just waiting for the inevitable "I saw the doctor and he said I can eat whatever I want" video. Of course, followed by a massive rice and bread feeder video.

Anything above “normal” blood glucose levels is still doing damage. She needs to get this under control because her organs are failing.
I completely agree.
She doesn’t realize her organs are failing and all the medications the doctor has put her on, is all to try to stop it. She really thinks because she’s on insulin now, she’ll be able to eat whatever she wants and as much as she wants. She took all these steps in Canada when she was first diagnosed with diabetes and look where she is now, all because she didn’t do what she should’ve years ago
She still thinks she can adjust her meds to accommodate her feeds. Playing with the numbers doesn't mean she's preventing organ damage. She needs so much help.
It’s too late; she’s already in MOF. She had her chance, before the hysterectomy, to try attempt to pump the brakes, but she chose to hit the gas. Couldn’t happen to a nicer animal abuser.
@@witchofthewildwoods3496I see her absolutely eating whatever she wants and trying to cover with insulin. This is a very dangerous game.
At this point she can only work to not get worse.
Eat up, Cutie!
If this doesn't wake her up, NOTHING will. Love your spreadsheets, and Chantal needs to have spreadsheets to keep up with her lies. One minute health care is expensive in Kuwait, then the next minute, it's very cheap. Which is it, Chantal????
💯
💀 😂
@saidwho1 It's not expensive when she doesn't want to go back to Canada and is expensive when she does.
@@SansaCooks
but didn't Chantal get cancer tho and that didn't make her change her ways I don't think Chantal diabetes is going to make her take it seriously
I don't like her - but - it's so sad that this is her entire life. That would be so depressing.
She hears what she wants to hear and remembers what she wants to remember. She's going to decline faster and faster.
I'm in the camp that thinks the "hospital" food was takeout that Salah brought her.
Nah, that looks pretty small to me, considering what they usually get.
@SansaCooks Fair. It's just that when I've gotten hospital food, it's been on proper plates, not disposable foil...
@@totallylooney8292Maybe it's different at that hospital? Could have been a standard meal given to all patients in an ER.
There are some diabetics who lose one foot and still continue their dangerous habits and continue to lose limbs until their end.
It's sad to see it but also so frustrating
Way too common. My arrogant, SOB father had a stroke, amputation of toes and near total blindness before a heart attack took him out.
Chantal is arrogant and defiant. She has no rock bottom.
"Nobody is going to tell ME how to eat" 🙄
Spot on. She doesn’t realize that it’s cheap because they are just keeping her alive. When it comes time to knuckle down and get more and more tests, paying out of pocket will be no joke
She is beyond help and hope.
Rather than health arc, I'd call it Medical arc. Atp, she's not doing it to regain her health but rather to patch what's already broken with medicine and hospital visits.
THISSSSSSS, she wants a bandaid not a solution.
Look, here’s the long and short of it, we will NEVER receive true information from this one unless or until we’re seeing it post mortem. She’s simply incapable of understanding anything and secondly, even if she did, she’d still continue to lie.
She’s definitely getting worse and worse and I’m sure it’s going to get expensive. Just her meds seem to be minimum 50 KWD a month, which adds up over time. And that’s not counting clinic visits and hospital stays.
She's not looking long term and I am positive she has not considered the expense of monthly med refills.
Salads sister is a pharmacist though she is probably getting them at cost.
So she thinks the meds are supposed to counteract her bad diet.
Pretty much!
She's not going to want to hear, No Sugar, No Bread, No Rice, No Huge Meals. Exercise, not a marathon just walking every hour. She Cannot remain Sitting Laying All day.
Especially no huge meals.

@@sandihj If she just stopped eating thousands of calories a day and ate a regular adult portion she would lose weight really fast until she platoues.

I don't see her stopping eating unless she does. I don't think she will even go to the diabetes education thing. She doesn't want the truth
Yes! She should go to one of those gorgeous malls in Kuwait and walk in a/c every day. When she hits a goal she can treat herself to a delicious (sugar free) iced tea!
Milk tea did a breakdown of the cost of those meds and she's going to have to cough that up every month. There was also a situation in the past few months where she said she was on antibiotics for cellulitis. You can add that to your next spreadsheet lol
Ahhhh! Good point!
Yeah. I don't think the ongoing costs have hit her yet. It's gonna take a chunk out of Salah's pay.
@@calendarpage😂
As a Canadian diabetic nurse educator, it’s a good thing that much of this is being treated but she doesn’t acknowledge her responsibility in much of it. It’s incredibly frustrating.
She said that no matter what she did, she couldn’t get her glucose under control. Does she mean that her binging, mukbangs and noncompliance to treatment didn’t help her diabetes? Big shocker. What exactly did she do? She cannot accept any responsibility for her actions. Rather than listening to her doctors, she chose to do what she wanted and the end result of it is the need for 3 meds to control diabetes, ongoing infections due to her uncontrolled glucose, likely kidney damage and the need for cholesterol meds due to her poor food choices. This is where noncompliance and no impulse control has gotten her. Being lazy and irresponsible instead of following medical advice has put her here.
Despite her heaping praise on the medical care in Kuwait, Canada would have provided this and much more had she been truthful and actually followed through. One example that immediately comes to mind based on my career in diabetes management is the use of lantus insulin. While this is still used and was a common treatment for type 2 in the past, it has a major side effect of weight gain. If you’ve ever watched my 600 lb life, you’ll notice that this is why Dr. Now immediately tries to get his patients off of it. Type 2 diabetes can often be reversed in these patients with weight loss so it is counterproductive to put them on meds to prevent it. In Canada, she would likely have instead been placed on an ozempic type injectable medication instead that would not only decrease her glucose and control diabetes, but also promote weight loss. This might be the only med required but instead, she now requires 3, including insulin. She also received no instruction there prior to starting insulin. Compared to current treatment in North America for a supermorbidly obese diabetic, this is an older approach that leads me to believe that citizenship and residential status has created a 2 tier approach to treatment there. We saw this with her sciatica treatment, when pain meds were not provided to those on a travel visa (like her) and she instead got vitamin injections. I have to also wonder if more modern treatments that we see in the west for diabetes were also not provided.
I noticed as well that she tried to downplay the use of zocor. Chantal received this for 1 reason,….lifestyle choices that were reflected by her cholesterol levels on her bloodwork. She instead tried to downplay the reason for it as though it was kidney related. I assure you, in this care it was not. She also has declined to explain the reason for the ongoing infections. In the past year, there has been numerous skin infections (boils or abscesses) and UTIs or kidney infections. This is very common with those with uncontrolled diabetes. It is often how diabetes is first discovered. It has triggered much of her diabetic care and yet, she has rarely of ever correlated the two.
This debacle has made it very clear to me that had Chantal been truthful when she 1st saw this doctor, she would not be in her current position. Her claims of being “so happy” because of this treatment should instead be one of “I’m so irresponsible” because had she listened the 1st time, she’d require a fraction of this treatment and likely not require insulin today. She is again trying to pat her back as if she has helped herself instead of creating the situation.
She was to follow up with this 1st doctor, who was an internal med specialist I believe. She instead chose not to. She knew that she wasn’t following guidelines or sticking to the diet plan so rather than admitting that or him discovering this by returning there , she chose to go to random other clinics instead where she could tell them her version of the truth. She could deny her noncompliance. She could feign ignorance. Chantal chose to start and stop her meds despite having glucose levels in the 400s at times. She chose to resume mukbangs, binge eat and consume endless amounts of carbs even when not taking meds. She chose to do no activity to burn off even a few calories, such as clean her home. Her enabler chose to facilitate this, knowing the cost to both her health and their wallet when she would need specialized care for each medical crisis due to her choices.
Canada did give her ozempic and vivance. She hated them because they didn't allow her to pig out.
I’m Canadian and I wish you could help me. I was sent to the diabetes clinic and they told me to follow the Canada Food Guide. I responded with, so you can get me on more meds, especially insulin? Because that is where that leads. The person looked at me like I was an alien and that was it. No questions about why I think that, just silence and if you have any questions, let us know. Ffs, the Canada Food Guide is paid for by lobbyists and has absolutely nothing to do with what is healthy to eat for a human let alone a diabetic. But there is a sea of conflicting information beyond that and I’m a little confused.
Theres is going come a time when no Dr or medication will bring her back from the brink 🙄
Yup
tbh we have already been there imo... she's continued going downhill. nothing will save her because she doesn't want saving, she wants to eat what she wants and do what she wants until the end. and the end is coming very soon
I definitely think there is missing information.
You put more thought and planning into her health in one video than she has in her life.
It would be a great exercise for her to chart out her visits and meds like this.
I think shes been not telling us everything since the first visit to doctor in Kuwait. Love your videos, thank you for all the work you put into them!
You are so welcome!
The reason why everything is so accessible is because she’s paying out of pocket and because of that they are going to give her the best possible visitor experience.
Exactly--it was the same in Thailand.
Right! Why does she not know that !!!
@@SansaCooks and no one can tell me otherwise that she didn’t have a severe medical issue in Thailand. She thinks she’s hoodwinked us all when she goes silent for a few days; but joke is her - she is only lying to herself at this point.
Be it a visa run or a medical issue, when she is off yt for more than three days, we no longer have to come up with a list of potential situations that she could be doing.
I just wonder if the hospital and the clinic have Shmeeee’s direct phone number, or if it’s only the enabling PedoUncleSyphilis who has given her number to the Kuwaiti hospital system.
You really do try to explain in professional terms what Chantal is doing and ways to help herself. I prefer dragging her she simply refuses to understand that putting in the work and staying consistent pays off. She rather jealously lash out at people like yourself or me. But I know what I am fighting for and I will keep at it. Your Macros have helped so much especially during my vacation. So thank you Sansa you are very appreciated.
Thank you for the kind words--I love seeing the glimpses into your routine!
Her joking about a "tablet mukbang" is both telling and scary.
Thank you yet again for your well informed videos. I have learned so much.
🌸 You are very much appreciated 🌸
Thank you, Goose!
So I originally said when she was sick on her walk that she had super, sticky dry mouth, and seemed to noticeably be avoiding having water.
At one point, she even says, okay I’ll have a sip now.
Now, we all know what with her onslaught of super high blood glucose readings and out of control eating, came LOTS of liquids and thirst.
Initially, I recall literally cringing 😬 at her grocery hauls and her counting half gallons of juice like treasures, slurping down cases of orange “drink” juice, etc etc…
So even during the FOF reaction channels I’m gonna Mukbang all day every day weeks before this, I noticed she’d changed to zero sugar beverages and 🤔…
So she was aware that drinking the large quantities of sugary drinks was making it worse but still was swigging water and such.
So back to walk day…. I thought to myself, her kidneys aren’t working right. She knows that if she drinks, it won’t come out and cause her to just swell.
And I also said her “sciatica” most likely was a return of flank pain.
I’m curious at this point how much kidney damage has been done.
An infection is one thing and yes, diabetics without control are more likely to have them, but I think it’s more serious and affects her function.
I believe this is going to get more complicated, more serious and she’s going to get more laid back and let in more foods and that’s when we will see if she can maintain this in Kuwait.
I do think she simply wants a medication that will stop all this and let her Beese (eat whatever she wants in peace)
I also believe FB has a bit of hypochondriac in her in that she enjoys being the sick girl with a sad tummy, give her treat in special packaging and special care….
But only up until it becomes a barrier to her having what she wants.
It’s why she has been dx’d and prescribed so many times yet never has any follow through.
This won’t go away though.
She opens diabetic needles now like it is a special treat. I can't get over that. Does she ever look at her videos and wonder about her own reactions 🧐
I didn't notice her avoiding water, but looking back, it is plain to see. Very observant on your part.
The doctor said she needs to get her weight under control if she would have lost the 38 pounds like she is claiming the doctor would have congratulated her and said great start....
This is an EXCELLENT point!!!!
I think it’s “find out” season for Queen Beezer
Twitter smartly noticed the chicken and rice in the hospital was served in a take out container in a cardboard box like how her take out usually comes, so Salah probably brought it to her.
I personally believe it's just how the food at that hospital is served.
twitter and smartly in the same sentence doesn’t work for me
I can't believe she's shitting on Canada healthcare she had so much more opportunity back there. Now the drs are acting more concerned because they need to cover their asses because she's on her way out!
She's also going to a private clinic that gets paid to see you quickly.
They are acting concerned cause she s paying cash . I don’t think they necessarily need to cover their ass. It can be easily proven she has been willfully non compliant in the past . She says it in videos. I don’t know Kuwait , but many Countries are not like America where you can sue for anything , it could be very difficult to prove the drs did anything wrong . Especially with a morbidly obese woman that just moved there 2 years ago. I m sure they don’t want her to die, but she did this to herself mainly , not the drs.
Honestly, her myopic attitude to daily life in general makes for a very shallow existence. Gorging and raging will ALWAYS be the only constant in her life.
Sad, but likely true.
I just love how you make your spreadsheets to illustrate your point(s).
Thank you!
So do I
Spreadsheet is Great! Thank you.
My pleasure!
I think you can’t believe a word she says. When she was raging before, she claimed the glucose meter was only reading so high because it was broken and not calibrated correctly. Now when she wants her current high readings to look like progress, she’s telling us her numbers were in fact what they were showing up as on that new meter.
Her lies about how affordable healthcare is for her there changes with each story. At first she claimed it was cheap. Then she said it was expensive and she needed to go back to Canada solely for her health. Now she’s back to saying it was cheap again. Obviously, her story for the price being the same for a clinic visit before and for a clinic visit, +hospitalization + patient education course is sus.
None of these doctors are been given a full picture. What she really likes about this whole hospitalization process is all the attention from doctors and from Salah. She also was happy that the doctor supposedly said she could reverse a lot of this with diet changes. What she heard was that she could eat her idea of healthy, Whole Foods for a few days and poof, diabetes be gone! Or maybe like before, eat what she wants as long as she has a unilicity drink first…
She’s already saying she’s feels better and is harping on her supposed weight loss. In her mind, if she eats one so called healthy meal, she acts like she has turned her whole life around. Just like last time, she briefly lost some of her food cravings for a few days due to being sick. She acted like she conquered her eating disorder and had been on a healthy eating plan for months. She was educating people and looking back at her behavior from the distant past of two weeks prior with disbelief and was certain she’d never go back to that. All we kept hearing was how she lost 15 kg so she must be doing something right. Nevermind she looked bigger than ever and was just coming off of being massively sick. According to her then, the illness probably wasn’t even diabetes related because Salah had it too.
As someone who appreciates data and a good spreadsheet, loved yours.
Thank you so much!
This isn’t being mean but she is huge. There’s no way I would ever believe she’s under 450. We have eyes and can see what she looks like now compared to what she did in Canada (before the Kuwaiti arc even started).
As I have said before foodie and ALR only tell new truths on old lies if it helps support their newest lie . She said in this video that her blood sugar is the lowest it has been but weeks prior she said her blood sugar never increased more than 10/11 . She doesn't have the desire to break this cycle and she is Jen 2.0 .
I love how she thinks that after ignoring and letting her diabetes go untreated for six years, she can just take some pills, and everything will magically go away. 😂
She seems a little too chipper.
I think when you're that sick all the time, any uptick in feeling better is euphoria. Sad and crazy.
Yup--it's very strange.
It's so strange that her voice is excited and elevated. She even seemed thrilled to open the box of diabetic needles. I felt she was showing her 'prize' she won. That is not a normal reaction. Most people would be depressed about it. Personally, I would be devastated and probably start crying.
She is an exhibitionist at heart. She thinks being sick makes her special and brings her the attention she craves. That’s why she’s happy 🙄
Historically, Chantal’s inconsistency is what’s made her unlike able. With the amount of danger on her organs with the diabetes, she is setting herself up for failure. Rage, back to mukbangs, rinse repeat.
The fuse on the ticking time bomb of her health is getting shorter and shorter. The damage she has willingly done to her body can't be overstated. I had a patient this month in his 40s with an A1c of 6ish code multiple times; he's now on life support getting worked up for dual organ transplant and he's actually lucky in this scenario. I foresee nothing but medical catastrophes in her future.
I thought 6ish was prediabetic?
@@AJJA239 That's after years of having relatively well-controlled DM2. Her's being in the double digits at multiple checks is so so dangerous.
@@AJJA239The effect is cumulative. Years of double digit damage doesn't go away with a few good years of control.
Organ transplant is an option? Wouldn't the new organs be damaged by diabetes as well? I know very little about organ transplantation.
@@Ophelia1023 When it's the only option for someone still fairly young, a lot of facilities will at least consider transplant. Being compliant with medications and treatment is one of the criteria; so if diabetes can stay controlled it won't make someone ineligible.
Her presentation of all this info while holding back smiling and laughing is disturbing. Also the juxtaposition of her mukbang thumbnails against her health crisis thumbnails. If she goes back to mukbangs after this she really needs to be removed from YT.
I am worried that she will think these meds are a cure all -and go back to her bad ways
I agree I felt like she was flexing about all the meds, almost convincing herself that this is the answer to let her continue to do what she does but the medicine will keep her going. SMH its actually sad watching someone do this to themselves in real time.
Yeah, and honestly all it is going to do is allow her to mukbang just a little longer before it's too late. It's just a band aide for it all. The medicine will only work if she changes her diet, adds exercise, and loses weight, otherwise it's all for nothing. So many terminally ill people in this world that would give anything to live and be healthy and here she is throwing her life away and happy about it. Sickens me!
@@SuperHuntress25 agree I think its what frustrates me the most about her, is so many people in the world that would love opportunity to be healthy and extend their lives.
don't waste your worry on her-- she will. this is what she always has done. don't let her affect you negatively 😢
Rule one. Looking puffy 🐡
Imagine videoing & monetizing life threatening afflictions, and being almost giddy about it. To her, this is enjoyable, educational, marketable content. To us, it's sad, pathetic, desperate, and infuriating attention seeking.
As usual, you provide clear and informative analysis Sansa. The one thing I'll point out is MANY T2 wind up requiring insulin even with good control per my doctor. It all depends how much pancreatic beta cell function is left once the factors leading to insulin resistance are controlled (diet, obesity). I had some Beta function left but over time I had to add a little Lantus.
If Foodie is discouraged this early in this latest "health arc", then she'll never make it. It can take months of dosing adjustments, medication changes, dietary manipulations, exercise and weight loss to get tight control. Then once you have control it's a lifelong process to stay there. (been there done that) Can anyone honestly say that she has that amount of effort and dedication in her? Methinks not!
Something is indeed not passing the smell test. I'm MUCH smaller than Foodie and had MUCH lower sugars at the time and I was started on 20 units Lantus.
Yup. I volunteered to go on insulin years ago because I couldn't function with metformin, after trying several times. Not everyone gets used to it and people who haven't been on it don't know how much gastric distress it can cause (I'm trying to be polite here). Over the years, I've greatly reduced my dosage, and there are days when I need very little (like 4 units) or none at all. And my Lantus use has gone from 70 to 16. Big difference. It's not a failure for a T2 to use insulin. It's another choice among many diabetic medicines.
All that said, I've been doing this for > 29 years. Chantal is never going to learn how to dose her insulin correctly for the carbs. She'll either use too little or use a lot to cover the hubcaps of rice. She'll never be compliant - which won't work out well for her.
She sees insulin as a free pass. I hope your both doing well managing your diabetes. It's work but the other option is much worse.
@@Ophelia1023 I'm doing great thanks, and my doctor is very pleased. Yes, it is hard work, but the alternative is WAY worse.
@@calendarpage That's great! I'm happy for your success. When you think of it, insulin is more "natural" and "physiologic" than the chemicals used in a lot of diabetes pills.
BTW I hear you on the Metformin GI issues. I take the ER form so it's a lot less. Still there are days when I'm "driving the porcelain bus" if you get my meaning.💩🚽🧻
I truly appreciate your voice in this community. You are kind and informative. I fear Foodie is not long for this world or will have a very painful journey.
I stepped away from Foodie Beauty-related content for a few days(mainly because of life stuff and the fact that she disappeared for a while), and BOY, has she ballooned since the last time I saw her!
If she believes that Kuwait's medical system is more accessible than in Canada, she's completely incorrect. It's pretty much the same, because she's paying for it DIRECTLY instead of paying taxes to help fund its universal healthcare system.
When I was ALLEGED(I say alleged, because the doctor made that suggestion WITHOUT testing me) to be severely allergic, I was given two meds: Nasal spray and cetirizine. Turned out I needed NEITHER, because blood tests I got after my initial diagnosis proved I wasn't allergic to ANYTHING. And I wasn't happy about the medications I didn't need. If she's giddy about medications, then she'd better start setting up timers for when to take her next dose of medicine.
If she's going to be reliant on medicines to be able to make a living, that's a very sad life she lives and one that will eventually be cut short when she doesn't realize it.
Great video, Sansa. I'll be watching for updates.
Thank you!
I was in her shoes at 250#! Now I am at a normal weight and reversed my DM type 2. It can be done if she would loose all the weight!
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks, Sansa! 👍
My pleasure!
Did she say, “my journey has been?”………….
Yup!
It's a shame she couldn't upload this video to her CZcams channel since she doesn't want to talk about her health anymore... oh wait... 😮💨
🤭🤭🤭
What are the chances that she’s going to follow dr. instructions this time around.. that she will follow a strict diabetic diet consistently, go to all her appts. and classes, take meds/ injections properly daily as well as exercise routinely. In order to help herself, she’s going to have to do ALL of these things!
The chances are zero
0%
She will just keep going on and off medication and eating junk until it's lights out. Until she checks herself into inpatient care for BED and is in there longer then a few days.... there is no hope.
No treatment can help her if she's not willing to do the work, and she's clearly not.
I love when her patterns of behaviour, cycles are visualised as it shows how much she lies and what’s going on. Keep it up 😊
Rule #1 foodie is a lying liar who lies
I think we need another visit with Dr. Emergency to understand what this all means for her. Kidney failure incoming?
I did text him, but at this point, I think we're in a wait and see mode.
She loves their health care over Canada because theres probably a language barrier and they don't ask her excessive questions. She just wants meds to do the job for her and is suprised she has to put in some work too.
I think she likes how quickly she's seen at a private clinic.
Excellent job on the spreadsheet. I did a lot of these at work. It really makes it easy for your audience to understand and is a useful tool. Thank you, Sansa❤
Glad it was helpful!
Your spreadsheet is missing Unicity....😂
She sounds giddy and Idk if it's about being sick and having something to talk about, or the fact that she thinks that the meds are working and she can go back to eat whatever she wants
I chose between reading this first or what’s under the hidden ice of Antarctica lol lol
Wow--thank you! LOL
It’s almost like thousands of people were warning her about such things…….
You did an excellent job with your analysis of Chantal's medication. What was missed was Chantal's 'giveaway' concerning her actual weight. She told us that she was instructed to take 15 units of insulin a day. As you know insulin dosage is in part determined by the patient's actual weight. Since Lantus is dosed at 0.2 units for every 2.2 pounds of body weight, Chantal unknowingly gave us her actual weight. What makes this issue even more problematic is that she is still told to take 100 mg of Januvia twice daily. ' Gorl, you a lie, at 340 lbs/154 kgs'. Sansa, you're always right when you say 'Chantal always gives herself away'. When you play dumb games you win dumb prizes.
Wouldn't that be only15×5×2.2 and that's only 165 pounds
@@s3304 That's correct, but as I mentioned, the real information is determined by the continued dosing of Januvia at 100 mg twice daily. Januvia dosage, like Lantus, is dosed in part by weight and A1C blood sugar levels. Her Januvia dosage would then be determined based on the efficacy levels achieved by the Lantus. Think of it as building a basement before you build a house's first floor. The Januvia dosage Chantal takes is indicated for a person with a weight between 200 to 250 lbs./91kg to 114 kg. Therefore, resulting in Chantals' indicated weight range of 365 lbs. to 415 lbs. /166 kg to 188 kg. (200 + 165)/(250 + 165). Keeping in mind this is only an approximation, but a very good one. I hope this helps. My actual belief is that her true weight exceeds 425 lbs. /193 kg.
Thank you for your intelligent and educational analysis of Foodie :)
My pleasure--thank you for the kind words!
Rule #1 applies here, too. I don’t trust the information she’s dishing out🤷♀️
Why does she act as if she hasn't had Diabetes for years.!?! She needs a Regular PCP and Endocrinologist! Shes has ran from Doctors for years... Only going to clinics... And this video she made is sus... She is lying about something and doesn't know what she is doing...
Chantal needs too learn too take her meds as prescribed, Chantal Never take you're health for granted....
Absolutely right.
Thank you Sansa for always giving us concise practical information. You've helped me pay more attention to what I eat especially the sodium.
I don't have much hope for Chantal.
You are very welcome!
Canada has an infrastructure problem, too many people not enough resources due to bad policy. It impacts our heath care in really challenging ways. It’s hard for me as a Canadian to get what I need sometimes so I can’t imagine how hard it must be for immigrants. Foodie has no clue how lucky she has been with receiving help in time. She needs to be pro active about this stuff.
I got a tetanus shot the other day because I had a nail in my foot. In hopes of not going to the er with a full blown infection I was proactive and followed health guidelines of betting a booster shot within 48 hours of the injury. I was lucky to find somewhere that had the time to see me. Foodie is doing the total opposite and letting her infections/health issues fester until she needs to go the hospital.
Excellent time line
Thank you!
I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
This seems odd but I think she is glad to be on insulin bc she thinks she can eat as she likes and then just adjust her insulin injections to compensate. Basically a free pass to indulge. If this is the case then she has no understanding of how her body works or what this will do to her organ systems.
Thanks for another great review 💚🌹💚 you are appreciated
I really hope she doesn't see insulin as a magic remedy.
I'm always so happy when I see you upload. Thank you so much Sansa! ❤️
Glad you enjoy the videos!
All the eye darting is so bizarre to me!
But we have to ALWAYS remember, rule #1!
I'm legit worried she's not going to understand how insulin works and take too much. My cat is on the same type of insulin. The dose builds up over days, which is why you start conservative and slowly bring the dose up every few days and monitor CAREFULLY. Foodie seems the type to inject extra just to eat a big meal, and that's NOT how this works. It would be a huge, huge mistake.
Salah will have to get familiar with hypoglycemia and figure out how to get her help because she'll go too loopy to get help herself. Forgive me for not having any faith in him doing that either. This is scary. Insulin is not something you want to be peak Dunning-Kruger over.
I feel the same way about the insulin. She's clearly very confused about all of her medication.
I feel like she is trying to pin her diabetes on some other illness and it very rarely works that way (as in I'm not aware she has been receiving steroid injections which may raise blood sugar). She needs to address her diet and weight...period...she cannot run from this.
Omg Sansa you keep me sane during all this madness 😂 thank you ❤❤❤
Glad you find the videos helpful!
I wonder if these doctors are reporting this information to the authorities since she is using up so many resources
Interesting question--I doubt it.
As much as I dislike her and I truly dislike her. You never want too watch someone kill themselves. I hope she makes some progress.
She is going to have to sneak eat now...😮
I'm not so sure about that. He's seen all of the mukbangs...
Such a well done and thorough breakdown, thank you lovely!
Glad you liked it!
Mmmm, I'm really not sure she's gonna make it back to Canada in the passenger seating, y'all. This is the most significant medical intervention yet
Right ? My 69 brother is type 2 diabetic and really manages it well . Only on meds. He travels from NE USA to Spain ( about 7 hour flight) and he has a tough time managing his BSL’s. She s going to crack trying to travel with needles , meds , insulin and trying to eat at proper intervals . I think even border hopping via car is going to be very hard on her mentally and physically.
Nicely done👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
I think she’s trying to make it seem like out of pocket healthcare in Kuwait is affordable and that would decrease the amount of comments she’d have to delete telling her to go back home.
People feel helpless and think going back home is best for her but you are right Sansa, she never tried. No matter where she is, her food addiction is with her. And the fact that she isn’t willing to learn about the how and why it’s there means she’s not going to change.
I’ve been watching Maryam Muckbang and even though they are two different channels, I haven’t felt any anger and animosity watching her. It’s been nice.
Unhealthy Arc I think is more appropriate😉
😬😬😬
If this dose not give her a wake up call nothing will
I would fire her if I was her doctor.
“Ugh, none of these medications are working”. She eats with the active intent of NOT doing what she knows she should be doing
I'm really getting tired of her blaming her high BS on being sick. I'm a T2 and had a flesh eating bacteria with8 secondary infections, emergency surgey, coma for a week, in ICU on a ventilator for a week, and in the hospital for a month, and my numbers NEVER got that high. EVER! Her numbers were that high because she stuffed her face, sat on her azzz, and laid around in the seal position, doing nothing. She thought she could eat like a p*g if she over used her Metformin. Magically, EVERY symptom she had when she said she was so sick is a symptom of Metformin OD. Look it up. Every symptom including dry cough, lower back pain, and difficulty urination. I think she was taking many more than 3 Metformin a day, TBH.
Holy cannoli, Susan, you've really been through it!
