Fatima was worried about her type 2 diabetes, but she knew she had to sit down and sort it out with her doctor.

She changed her diet and started exercising a bit more. It was difficult at first, as she had to give up all the sugar she was eating.

Slowly she got used to it and lost 15 kilos over two years. She has halved her diabetes tablets from two to just one a day. She hopes to come off her diabetes medication soon.
