“Why do you think it’s important to stay fit and healthy?”
“You’re asking that to a diabetes doctor! It’s very important. Especially now—we’re in a generation of a lot of obesity, metabolic disorders, high blood pressure, and diabetes. A lot of it’s mediated by lifestyle, so being fit is an important part to prevent these disorders.”
“Why did you decide to become a doctor?”
“I knew I wanted to be a doctor at three or four and just pursued it—there was no other field for me. It was doctor or nothing. When other girls were playing with Barbie dolls, I was colouring the human brain.”
