What is a diabetes mentor?
Diabetes is a tricky condition… It’s so important to have the right medication and eat the right food, of course, but it’s just as important to understand the condition, and that’s where a diabetes mentor can come in. These are people living with diabetes who want to help others who feel they could use some support. This isn’t medical advice, but tips on how to live a happy, healthy life with diabetes.
Meet the Sweet Life Mentors!
Marli Van Zyl
23 years old, living in Johannesburg, Gauteng.
How long have you had diabetes? 11 years in December
What do you wish you’d known when you were diagnosed? Diabetes is a blessing and an INDIVIDUAL diagnosis. Every body reacts differently, treat yours that way.
Do you have a special interest in any part of living with diabetes? CGMs! I always ask to see a fellow diabetic’s site 🙂
