did you get into this position in the first place? Where did it all start for you?

and michelle it's a very i was never i never planned this it was never a plan when i qualified something happened to my throat all of a sudden when i qualified as a dietitian i was a mature student so i was in my late i was in my mid late 30s when i qualified and um the struggle doing getting your education done when you've got children i never realized how hard it would be for me i really struggled so when i qualified i was so exhausted that i said that i'm not going to work at all i i give up i said i don't want to do this anymore and i'll i'll be a stay-at-home mom so being a stay-at-home mom i so that was the decision i made and then i realized that my children are going to school they don't have time for me so what have i done So I managed to find a part time job with the NHS where I was doing talks on diabetes for people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes, diabetes education.

So first thing is that, you know, it is just the one part.

Even if someone has got a specific health condition and they are going crazy.
