Why we Started This Site: My Journey with Type 2 Diabetes

I was at home when the phone rang. It was my doctor. Her voice was calm but direct: “Nadine, you have type 2 diabetes. Don’t eat sugar.” Silence. Then she asked, “Do you have any questions?”

I barely managed to whisper, “No.” The call ended.

And that was it. No guidance, no roadmap, no answers. I sat there frozen, terrified of what this diagnosis meant for my future. What was I supposed to eat? What could I no longer enjoy? Could I reverse this? Google searches left me overwhelmed. It felt like I was drowning in a sea of conflicting advice and technical jargon.

That experience—being left alone with so many questions—ignited a spark in me. I decided I wouldn’t let anyone else feel the way I did. This site exists because I want to provide what I didn’t have: a clear, supportive guide to navigating life with type 2 diabetes.

Here, you’ll find practical tips, science-backed advice, and, most importantly, a community that understands. Together, we can manage diabetes and thrive. You’re not alone—because I know what that feels like, and I refuse to let you face this journey without a lifeline.
