'This is a life long process, you’re going to keep tinkering.'

Mila Clarke knows all too well how damaging the stigma that surrounds diabetes is, having been repeatedly undermined both inside and outside of the medical profession through multiple diabetes diagnoses.

Mila was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2016, and after four tough years of managing her condition without the right medication and without a voice within the medical system, she was rediagnosed with type 1 LADA in 2020.

In a bid to reduce the shame and stigma that surrounds the condition, Mila gave up the medical benefits and stability of full-time employment to focus on helping other people with diabetes find their voice, which in turn also allowed her to focus on her own health.

She advocates via her blog The Hangry Woman, her Instagram of the same name, coaching services and app The Glucose Guide, which builds community within a judgement-free zone for anyone living with diabetes, as well as caregivers of those with diabetes.

Through helping others, Mila has discovered the joy of cooking while reclaiming her health, career, purpose and ultimately her life, small step by small step.
