Uganda - education starts with you - a podcast by Julia Joseph

Welcome type ones, type nones and all other types. This episode is with the lovely Edith Mukantwari from Uganda. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2005 and is now a nutritionist and a diabetes educator, working alongside the Africa 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 their everyday things .

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

We also get to talk about the gorgeous Ugandian cuisine.
