“Let’s forget diabetes for a second, but let’s talk about the fact that as African women, we think we are sexy when we’re overweight because we’ve got hips… So you get concerned when people say ‘aw you’re still gorgeous as a full-figured woman’. That’s amazing but the reality is that it’s not healthy, so for me I wanted to lose the weight but it was the hardest journey I ever went through.”

Diabetes for Sophie has been a bessing in disguise as it has forced her to eat well and live well.

“Yes I may have lost a little too much but I don’t care. For people to say it’s too much, I don’t really care. See, I can say I need one more kilo, for someone else they may say ‘haai this person needs 10 kilos’. No, my decision is that when I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m happy and I feel fantastic.”
