It was such a pleasure interviewing CEO and Co-founder of @teamnovonordisk, @iamphilsoutherland at the Sama-Sama launch last week.
Phil was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was only 7 months old, the youngest case of diabetes on record in the world at that time.
The doctor told his mom that he wouldn’t live past 25 years of age.
He is living proof of someone who defies all odds.
Now the Global Ambassador for diabetes, he has shown the world how he has beat all odds to turn his diagnosis and passion for cycling into a platform of inspiration.
He led an all-diabetes cycling team to victory and since founded in 2005, it is now the world’s first all-diabetes pep-cycling team and features a development team, elite team, and one female professional track star, Mandy Marquardt.
Phil shares how family & friend support was vital in his growth and why empowering caregivers is such an important step leading to the Sama-Same campaign launch held at Putrajaya during World Diabetes Day celebrations.
Thank you @novonordisk for initiating this awareness campaign. Prevention is better than cure and as Phil shares beautifully, life does not stop even if you are diagnosed with diabetes.
Had a jolly good time and managed to convince an Ambassador and top MOH officials to do the chicken dance.

I turned vegetarian a year and a half ago:) Again with this, I do not intend to impose my opinions on you. This is solely how I feel and believe. Thank you la Jangsem Monday for including me in the pledge-fie 🙏
A very Happy Jangsem Monday to all OUR JANGSEMIANS! 💚👍👌😊
On Our Jangsem Monday Pledge-fie platform today We have a very Special 139th JM Pledger all the way from Malaysia, also known for being One of the most Inspiring Young Bhutanese woman of our times making a name in online gaming. YES We have heard of this Special Being *Pinda Rika Dorji also popularly known as pindapanda in the gaming world. Yes She is a Bhutanese and Extra Ordinary!! Extra ordinary We say because She's not only a full time Gamer abroad making a living, loving what she does, apart from her talented, exuberant, charming, sweet, smart, kind, humble and funny personality(limited edition) but SHE is THE only Bhutanese Gamer abroad making a living doing what she loves thus being A Trail Blazing Star for all the Gamers and youngsters here in Bhutan, must we add.. YES she is Human and a young Warrior, a kind one at that too :) She who has over countless followers and fans rooting/Cheering for her on social media/reality and..let us not Stop here....SHE.. Who has also made a special Appearance on our very own BBS Tele and local news section as ''Pinda Rika Dorji, 22, the only gamer from Bhutan who is making a living through online games. Her passion for online gaming got Pinda a job as a Television anchor with e-sport channel in Malaysia '' :)
WELL What YOU DID NOT KNOW about This Special and talented Gamer Girl who is not just your Average Gamer girl, but SHE is also an Animal lover and a Vegetarian. A Compassionate, Beautiful and Inspiring Soul altogether <3 :*)
Born and raised here, Pinda is from *Changangkha, Thimphu Bhutan. She has a degree in Construction management and *Currently works in Malaysia as an eSports Tv Personality and Host. Individually she says she makes her own content such as vines and videos for digital platforms as well as host events.
She loves *pizza, gaming, art, music, dancing and jokes all in all.
We are SUPER EXCITED and GLAD to have pindaPanda board the Jangsem Express!! She was super Kind enough to spare us her time even during her busy schedule and to be here to share with us her beautiful thoughts on this cause Today, what a wonderful opportunity to know that this beautiful soul is Jangsemized to the max :) (Y) We are truly Awe-inspired, truly! <3 :)
When We asked her if she has heard of Jangsem Monday before:
*No, not until today.
When We asked her if she would like to take the JM pledge/promise:
*Definitely, I'm a vegetarian myself.
Her Thoughts about the Jangsem Monday cause:
*Its a great initiative ! It doesn't completely annihilate animal slaughter but its a step atleast, a great start indeed.
Her Thoughts about the importance of going meatless:
*I believe we don't have the right to own one's life. It's really simple actually, just try to put/imagine ourselves in those millions of helpless animal's shoes who suffer daily without ventilation, are mutilated, suffocated, made to reproduce countless times without their will or the power to stop it and ask ourselves, did they choose that life? No, "we" did.
Vegetarian or vegan:
*I am a vegetarian. I turned two years ago. An online video had caught my attention and it was 49 mins long. I watched it entirely and to my horror, it really broke my heart watching how all these animals were being treated. Mother cows having their calves snatched away from them. Tears were literally pouring out. Piglets squealing and beaten to death. I couldn't stand the thought of consuming meat again after that.
the Benefits of going meatless:
*I've never felt better ! I've learnt to cook vegetables so many ways that I sometimes have 5 meals a day. Potatoes ! God I love potatoes. I have them at least six times a week.
*Firstly I believe there are lower risks of getting diseases such as heart diseases, arthritis, diabetes, acne and so on. There are endless health benefits to be honest. Having a control on our cholesterol levels, maintaining our diet in a healthy manner, even with our weight control and there's just so much more...
I even read it helps with keeping our skin young. Don't know how far that's true but sounds delightful to me. Hell even Miley Cyrus is a vegetarian and I love her skin ! Although I must agree at a certain level, I used to suffer a lot from acne but now it has definitely toned down and I don't even use any special products to control it. (I follow a lot of vegetarian pages online and their articles are just wonderful)
Her Favorite veggies, veggie dish and fruits:
*Any vegetables with cheese is heaven for me. I just throw in some veggies in the pan, fry them and add some cheese later on and that's more than enough to make me gobble them with two bowls of rice.
I loveeeee grapes, papaya, pineapple, peach, guavas and mangoes.
Her Favorite animals: Domestic or wild.
*Dogs, cats, donkeys, owls, dolphins and chimpanzees.
Her beliefs or your motto in life:
*Hmm.. I believe in all the good things, of course there'll always be things that are bad as well, but that is the way of life. We couldn't survive with just good in the world. How we face it is the real challenge. And I believe in change, although I am, a little bit conservative but yes I do believe in change for the good.
My motto in life is to live each day to the fullest, well not everyday everyday, sometimes I tend to oversleep but you know what I mean:p
Some days can get really hard at times but not giving up and pushing myself to the limit have been the best decisions I've made up until now.
As for my work, my objective is to make people laugh in some sort of way, or smile at the very least through the content I make. And when it does, it makes me happy, its just that feeling I can't describe. It's overwhelming and pushes me to do more.
And my dream includes living in a home where I can raise a cow, two hens, one dog, a cat or two and two pigs :D Something I intend to do in the future.
Her message to everyone on going meatless:
*Well, I wouldn't praise you that's for sure. Just because we're vegetarian we shouldn't be proud about it cause' there really is nothing to be proud about. All these animals deserve to live as much as we do. We have no right whatsoever to have them on our plates despite what we pay. We are as much responsible for the slaughter of these helpless animals as the people who slaughter them.
We demand, thus they slaughter, the only difference is we don't want to get blood on our hands.
The only regret I have is not having to realize this sooner and turned meatless. Over the past two years I'd say I have avoided consuming atleast 300 hens, 15 cows, 4 pigs (rough calculation) given that I used to have two mcspicy chicken every time I visited McDonalds/KFC before this:p
Again I don't intend to impose my thoughts and beliefs on you. Whether you go meatless or not, it's solely up to you, it's YOUR CHOICE. You have to make that on your own rather than people telling you what to do. I hate that as well. But please, please don't say/write "you love animals" and then have another one on your plate.
Thank you:)
