- A CBBC viewer is given the opportunity to make a film about his younger brother Alfie, who has diabetes. Sixteen-year-old Billy works with film maker Sunny Kang and researcher Michael Carr to capture his 13- year-old brother coming to terms with his condition by travelling to India to meet other children with diabetes. With their family, Alfie and Billie have raised money for the charity Life For a Child, who give free medicine to children in India with the condition.

My step daughter Nicole passed from a blood clot that went through her heart on 9 August 2018. She bravely fought her diabetes to be a normal Mom for about 7 years. I loved her dearly and her brother Jordan and I will always miss her as she died on his 18th birthday. Shout out to my stepson Dujean who went above and beyond for his sister and is now with her. We love you and miss you.
Not only a beautiful loving family but I get the impression that trip will
greatly influence who the boys become as adults. Such a heartfelt story
in a time so full of anger and division in the world, their world and those
they met in India, they are how the world should be. May your health
remain strong forever Alfie, my love and best wishes to you all.
Inspiring!
My friend Damon had type 1 diabetes and had a stroke at age 47. He had two strokes in total within a few months. He was in a long term medical facility because he lost use of his arm and leg and had a sloping face. The facility doesn't have a good reputation and a lot of people die there. He also died from neglect of his symptoms. In the United States, our health care system should be better. I didn't understand type one diabetes until I saw the animation of how insulin works. This is an epidemic and thank you so much for giving people and kids the ability to understand how their bodies work and don't work inside.
My condolences on the loss of your friend.
Seriously, does he really need to read this depressing comment? This guy needs motivation not negative morbid comments. Keep them to yourself!! 😡
@fiftiesandfabulous I understand that the truth of someone's loss is difficult. But the brothers who made this documentary were not seeking uplifting stories. They were seeking reality, some of it uplifting, some of it not. They wouldn't have gone to India if they wanted to avoid harsh realities. They said they wanted the man to share the story of the death of his friend from Type 1 diabetes so that others would know how serious diabetes is. All stories are important to bring awareness. This awareness helps people understand and support people with diabetes so their lives are easier, and they have a better chance of survival.
I grew up watching my older brother cope with Type 1 diabetes starting in 1958. I was 7 years old. I am so pleased to u have advanced tech to help you. Blessings to you.
My youngest is type 1 go for you educating people! People think they know but they don't.
I work for Endocrinology (adult) clinic and we see hundreds of T1DM’s, this is so inspiring!
We are in America have tunnel vision when it comes to healthcare.
Since our healthcare isn’t socialized, we see dozens of patients who can’t afford supplies and it breaks my heart.
Thank you for sharing this and well done boys! Continue being the voice for those in need and being awareness to Diabetes healthcare in other countries.
What an intelligent, selfless, kind gentle soul. Above all very articulate and knowledgeable about the illness. God bless him and his family 🙏🏾💕
This family are amazing all of them total stars with such humanity. Well done with the filming. Made it easy to understand the condition and how fortunate we are to have the NHS. ❤
You did a great job young filmmaker....❤❤❤❤
Wonderful story about something not too many’s people know much about
Amazingly done- well done Alfie and Billie!! Thank you for showing us the great work that's being done and for contributing to it!!

thanks for sharing this young man.👍🏿
Wonderful thing to do for your brother... so brave and glad you have a lovely family around you to help to learn what you were having to go through.... 😊
I got type 1 diabetes at 3 years old. Nobody on either side of my family has diabetes. It was just a random pick of the draw for me I guess. It's a terrible disease that slowly eats every bit of your body away. What's crazy to me as a kid in the 80s I never met another person with diabetes for a good 15 years after I got it, then it just seemed to explode with how many people have it now.
Did they explain that type 1 is not something you get through diet or catch its something you're born with?
Wow this is just Amazing totally awesome
Really good job on this video I've learnt so much ❤
Uhh, someone did not double check the title of this video, because it doesn't make sense.
They just missed the word “into”….
What is wrong with the title?
@@olivewoo522 Nothing now. They fixed it lol
Our cat Anubis has diabetes now
His mom is a doctor, they are obviously a upper middle class family. Why if he doesn't wake up when his surger is out of control doesn't he have a pump that automatically checks and corrects? It seems well within their means to get a more advanced insulin pump. They now can be set to intervene automatically when the sugar gets to a very dangerous level.
watching a bunch of diabetics being fed rice makes me super sad. Do they not know that carbohydrates are poison to them with theire condition
Not poison, but carbs needed to be monitored. Carbs are chains of single sugar molecules joined together like carriages of a train. As breaking down to single sugars to travel in the blood takes a bit time, they are slow release sugars, and easier for a diabetics" body to manage than simple sugars which spike blood sugar levels. Diabetics need sugars too, as they provide energy for the body to function. If sugar levels drop too low, that is as dangerous as sugar levels rising too high. So, carefully monitored carbs are definitely a good thing for diabetics, and an important part of their diet. The amount of rice they were given in India did look like too much, though.
😂 he could have brought the tea 😂
