“I’ve been struggling with diabetes for years now, and I didn’t know what to do. My doctor told me I needed to lose weight, but after weeks of intense workouts, I almost gave up.”
How familiar does this sound?
Managing diabetes is not a one stop solution. You have to plan for it and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
