Enjoys researching, travelling, and watching old movies or sitcoms, dinning out and spending time with family and friends. My goal is to not have anyone suffer with T2DM like my deceased mother. On a personal note, my mother was diagnosed with T2DM for 20 years and was given one-week to live following a stroke but survived almost 3 more years. This was accomplished by a diabetes educator in Toronto, Canada who took the time to empower and support me to monitor her blood glucose and prepare healthy meals based on my mother’s food preferences for South American meals. My mother succumbed to pneumonia, not diabete.
