InTrace was born from a personal story. My daughter, who lives with reduced mobility, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2017. A health journalist for twelve years, I had the words to make sense of medical guidelines.
Yet I ran into a simple problem: between the jargon of institutional websites and forums where everyone shares an opinion, there was no place that was clear, reliable and warm to learn how to live well with type 2 diabetes.
So I created InTrace to fill that gap. The idea is simple: explain without betraying medical rigour, inform without frightening, and support with kindness. The project quickly became more than a blog. It is also a space for exchange and a community, where everyone can take back an active role in their health and well-being.
