Four Key Symptoms Of Type 2 Diabetes Women Should Look Out For
One disease affecting women from all walks of life
Diabetes touched me through my mother.
She was diagnosed roughly three years ago, and we immediately set an action plan.
Thankfully, she controlled her insulin through diet alone during the whole time.
But, unfortunately, a lot of people aren’t so lucky.
In my mum’s case, diabetes led to pancreatic cancer, and she passed away in 2021 after battling the disease for six months.
From a healthy & athletic person’s perspective, I could see that my mum’s many years as a coeliac was partly to blame.
Most of the ingredients within these foods she ate for years contained added sugar — even more than non-gluten-free items.
But it wasn’t only the processed products she was eating — it’s lifestyle-based.
I begged my mum to watch her nutritional intake for many years, and she only really listened after her diabetes diagnosis.
