Your health is more than a diagnosis

31/01/2026

Someone commented on one of my old videos and said, “I’ve finally been diagnosed but I feel so alone.”

And this is exactly why I wanted to share this moment.

Diabetes is not just about blood sugar. It’s about your body, your mind, your lifestyle, your hormones, your support system. It’s a lot for one person to carry.

Whether it’s type 1, type 2, type 3c or pre-diabetes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. There are clinicians, specialists and communities who genuinely care and are here to support you.

You deserve more than just a diagnosis. You deserve understanding, guidance and hope.

Can you take metformin during pregnancy? 🤰💊

Short answer: Yes — if it’s prescribed by your clinical team.

Uncontrolled blood sugar poses more risk to your baby than metformin ever will. Metformin helps reduce excess glucose, supports insulin action, and is widely used in pregnancy when needed.

✨ If side effects occur, don’t stop it on your own speak to your healthcare team. There are options.

Had pancreatic surgery in the past?

It could affect how much insulin your body makes and increase the risk of Type 2 or Type 3c diabetes.
Not all surgeries are the same. Your history matters.
Knowing what was done helps your care team manage your blood sugars better.

Pregnant and confused about diabetes? Let’s clear it up.
If you had Type 2 diabetes before pregnancy, it’s not the same as gestational diabetes and the care pathway is different. What matters most?
Early support, good blood sugar control, and staying closely connected to your clinical team.

The good news 👉 with the right treatment, monitoring, and engagement, many complications can be reduced or avoided.
✨ Pregnancy + diabetes doesn’t mean panic. It means personalised care, regular checks, and informed decisions.
