Being diagnosed with diabetes can be life altering says Sunward Medical Park’s, Dr Angela Murphy. Whether it is type 1 diabetes where the body does not make any insulin at all or type 2 when the pancreas makes some insulin but not enough, diagnosis means making changes to your lifestyle that you may not be ready to commit to.

 Murphy joins this week’s episode of Sisters Without Shame to help us navigate the complicated condition that impacts a person’s quality of life. If blood glucose levels remain high, it can also be life-threatening. Managing blood sugar levels however can reduce the risk of complications.

A Specialist Physician, Murphy practices exclusively in the field of endocrinology, with the Diabetes Clinic and Obesity Clinic being her two main areas of focus. She is also considered a Key Opinion Leader in diabetes and obesity and is extensively involved in education and training in these fields.
