Rushali is 39 years old and works as an accountant in Maharashtra. She got diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in August 2022. Despite her daily commute of 2-3 hours, household chores, and office duties, she prioritises quality time with her child.
She shares her initial fears of dealing with this chronic condition, “Mujhe diabetes ke baare me jaan ke kafi darr laga. Maine bilkul meetha khana band kar diya aur regular exrcise karna bhi shuru kar diya.”
“Mujhe koi major symptom nahi tha. Isiliye mujhe apni diabetes ke baare me koi idea nahi tha. August 2022 me meri company ne ek camp organise karaya tha. Usme mujhe meri Type 2 Diabetes diagnose hua.”

“Pehle yeh changes ko adapt karna asaan nahi tha. Mere work hours ke sath meals ko time par lena asaan nahi hota tha. Meri health coach ki help ke baad main asaani se sab kar leti hu.
I got a proper diet plan from my coach and she also shares some easy to make recipes with me. I was also asked to include pumpkin juice in my daily diet which has helped me bring my sugar levels under control.”
Her health coach Himanshi Saxena shares her feedback with us.
“Diagnosed at an early stage during a routine checkup, she initially didn’t experience any symptoms of diabetes. However, despite the diagnosis, she began to feel constant fatigue.
I gave her a diet plan which included a lot of protein rich options. I also included some easy snacking options which would not lead to a spike in her sugar levels. With her limited availability, I suggested that she should spare 30 mins everyday and go on a walk.

Indian women face multifaceted challenges in managing their professional careers, familial responsibilities, and their health, particularly in controlling diabetes. Juggling demanding jobs with traditional household duties places immense pressure on them, often leaving little time for self-care.
Moreover, the cultural expectation for women to prioritise the needs of their families over their own health often results in neglecting personal well-being, including regular monitoring and diabetes control.
