If someone in your life has type 2 diabetes - a parent, a partner, a sibling, a friend - the most useful thing you can give them is not advice.
It’s understanding.
Understanding that they calculate every meal before they eat it. That they check their reading quietly before anyone notices. That
“should you be eating that” costs them something every single time it’s asked.
That they are managing something that never takes a day off, often completely alone.
Here is what understanding gives you that advice never can:
You stop watching their plate because you know they’re watching it more carefully than you ever could.
You stop offering cures - because what they need is not a cure but a person who sees them clearly

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome.
Published yesterday in The Lancet.
Why it matters for blood sugar:
Insulin resistance is central to PMOS.
Insulin resistance is also the foundation of Type2diabetes.
