Various local political figures shared photos of her visit to social media, commending her for presenting her story in such an open manner to raise awareness about diabetes.
She said going public with her diagnosis helped normalise diabetes in political life, noting that visible use of her monitor even prompted women to ask their doctors about the technology.
