Zena Innocent
Diagnosed in 2009.
"The psychologist showed me my feelings were justified and I wasn't doing everything wrong. It felt like someone understood."
After developing gestational diabetes during both of her pregnancies, Zena was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes shortly after the birth of her second child. Since then, sharing her struggles with a psychologist, along with support from her family and keeping active, have all kept her positive.
