Mustapha was first diagnosed with diabetes 13 years ago. His doctor advised that he had higher risk of developing heart diseases, such as heart attack or heart failure. He didn’t take it seriously because he thought diabetes and heart disease could not be related, until 8 years ago, after he had a heart attack and almost needed a heart bypass surgery. Having survived that heart attack was a second chance for Mustapha. Since then, he spent a lot of time understanding his condition and started making lifestyle changes to be healthy and active.
