"كيف تكون حياة الشخص عندما يصاب بمرض السكري في عمر صغير؟

تتحدث لنا عن تجربتها مع مرض السكري من النوع الثاني والخوف من مواجهة المجتمع بأنّها تعاني من مرض مزمن. أخفت لمى مرضها عن محيطها، إلا أنها أدركت أنّه يجب عليها تعلّم كيفية التعامل مع مرضها لتكون بصحة أفضل."

"What would a person's life be when she's diabetic?

Lama talks about her experience as someone with type 2 diabetes, and fear of facing the society about what she's suffering from. Lama hid her condition from her surrounding, but she recognized that she had to learn how to cope with her disease to be in a better health." Originally from Majdal, but raised in Gaza. I’m 22 years old, 4 of which I spent battling diabetes, finally ending in my victory over all the medications related to diabetes T2.
Worldly tests are inevitable in the life of every person, either you get tired of confrontation and surrender to your weakness, or you accept what has been written for you and resist to the last breath until victory. I have always believed that the first step to victory is to leave the environment that made you sick, and then spread the flag of strong will so that everyone can see it. At TEDxAlJalaaSt I will tell you my story and how I broke the mold of "The Secret" by confession, after years of weakness and shame of my illness; I was able to say out loud that I am diabetic, because there is nothing wrong with revealing our secrets if they burden us, and there is no need for the illness to be hidden as long as its presence in us is a divine will. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
