In addition to exercising and sticking to her meds, in a recent interview with All4Women, Ma Agnes, says she: “Find it’s much easier to stick to a healthy lifestyle if I plan ahead. That way I’m not tempted to snack on unhealthy foods when I get hungry and exercising is part of my daily routine.”

To do this, she plans her meals and snacks in advance every day. And she always carries around emergency snacks, like an apple and some almonds, in case.

Great advice from someone who won’t let something as common as diabetes stop her from living her life! And neither should you!
