In 2017,  in  diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. In the years to come, Diabetes took its toll. During Covid I first suffered a cerebral infarction (stroke), recovered from it, however was diagnosed with end stage CKD (renal failure) in a matter of months, had to get on dialysis. Stayed on dialysis for 18 months, before I received my transplant. 

 I had to be put on Insulin to keep Type 2 Diabetes in check and protect the transplanted kidney.  It is then when I found Dr. Jason Fung and shortly after coffee entered my life. There has been no looking back since. 

This channel is a  reminder that stories, resilience, and coffee can fuel a life that’s always moving forward.
