Björn Franzén lagar mat för sugna diabetiker och annat folk, 2017

Björn’s daughter was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of three in 2013, forcing him to reassess everything — especially their food. It’s been a few years now, and adjusting to this new reality has been a process, raising the question: can one ever truly get used to it? Childhood diabetes is a serious condition that, if left untreated, can be fatal.

This experience at home opened his eyes. He realized that much of the food they had eaten out of habit, tradition, or simple preference, was harmful. It was a shocking revelation. At home, they adapted their diet to accommodate their daughter’s needs, and soon Björn discovered that the healthier, more mindful food choices weren’t just good for her — they made the whole family feel better.
