Having watched my grandma struggle for over 40 years with high, very high and sometimes low blood sugar levels, and caring for her all those years, I witnessed first-hand how Diabetes sucks the quality of life out of a person, little by little each day and each year. She experienced gradual loss of vision, mobility, independence and eventually the shutting down of her kidneys and heart, until one day Diabetes took her life.

With Diabetes being common in our family, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (and Hashimotos Thyroiditis) over 25 years. It was shocking for me to receive the same conventional advice she received decades before from my own doctors. My passion and path became very clear to me at that moment. I was determined to find all the ways to live a higher quality life.
