My Personal Journey with Diabetes: Why I Started This Blog ‘Managing Diabetes Daily’

Hi, I am Shashi and I’m an Indian doctor and public health professional currently pursuing a PhD in Diabetes. My journey with diabetes is deeply personal and profoundly impactful.

Growing up, I watched my mother battle Type 2 Diabetes. I saw her health deteriorate day by day, and it was heart-wrenching to witness her struggles. Despite her best efforts, managing her condition was a constant challenge. This personal connection to diabetes ignited a passion in me to learn more about the disease, its management, and how to support those affected by it.

As a doctor, I’ve encountered countless patients grappling with diabetes, each with their own unique struggles and stories. Through my clinical experience and research, I’ve gained invaluable insights into the complexities of diabetes management. However, it’s my mother’s journey that has been my greatest motivator.

My mother’s experience made me realize the urgent need for accessible, reliable information and support for people living with diabetes. I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is to have the right knowledge, resources, and community to manage this condition effectively.

This blog is my way of giving back and helping many mothers like mine. I aim to provide practical tips, evidence-based advice, and a supportive community for those affected by diabetes. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a caregiver, or someone looking to improve their health, this blog is here to support you.

By sharing my knowledge and personal experiences, I hope to spread awareness about diabetes and empower others to take control of their health. Together, we can navigate the challenges of diabetes and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s make a difference in the lives of those living with diabetes, one step at a time.
