What is this episode about?

Edith Mukantwari is from Uganda and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2005. She is now a nutritionist and a diabetes educator, working alongside the African Diabetes Alliance.

In this show we discuss her diagnosis as a teenager with type 1 and how her school nurses didn’t believe she was poorly, but instead thought she was pretending to be sick so she could skip school for weeks on-end.

We also talk about the guilt she carried needing money to self fund her diabetes supplies, while her siblings needed financial support for theire everyday things .

She is truly an empowering lady, teaching diabetics on how to take theire own decisions regarding theire health and lifestyle choices.

We also get to talk about the gorgeous Ugandian cuisine. 🙂

“What we need to think as people now is,
how does my food effect
my biochemistry,
my health,
my feelings!“
– Edith Mukantwari –

“I think, food is a big contributor
to our mental health
but rarely we give it
any attention!”
– Edith Mukantwari –
