From confused teenager to blood sugar advocate
Jessica’s story (and why she cares so much about your blood sugar)
This is not a story of “perfect discipline” or overnight transformation. It’s a story of confusion, frustration, and finally, clarity.
Since puberty, something felt “off” in my body. My periods were irregular, unpredictable, and no one could really explain why. At 16, I was diagnosed with PCOS. The solution I was given?
A prescription for the pill and a single sentence: “Take this until you want to get pregnant.”
No one explained what PCOS actually meant. No one talked to me about insulin resistance, blood sugar, or what was happening beneath the surface. So I did what most of us do—I trusted that if it was serious, someone would tell me.
A few years later, I moved to France for university. That’s when things really started to change. I began to gain weight—fast. My symptoms got worse, but I didn’t have a name for what was happening. I just felt like my body was working against me, and I had no roadmap for how to fix it.
By 2021, everything caught up with me. I felt foggy and exhausted all the time. I couldn’t focus. I was constantly running to the bathroom. Deep down, I knew something was wrong—but I still didn’t expect what came next.
At 27 years old, I was diagnosed with prediabetes.
I was shocked. I didn’t “look” like what people imagine when they think of blood sugar problems. No one had ever warned me that PCOS and insulin resistance were connected. No one told me this was even on the horizon.
That diagnosis became my turning point. I decided this would not be my future story.
How I reversed my prediabetes—without medications or extreme diets
After that lab result, I became gently obsessed—in the healthiest way. Not with shrinking my body, but with understanding it.
I started reading everything I could about blood sugar, insulin resistance, and PCOS. I dug into research papers, podcasts, courses—anything that could help me connect the dots no one had connected for me as a teenager.
Instead of chasing perfection, I focused on gentle experiments. I tested how different meals affected my energy, my focus, and my cravings. I paid attention to my sleep, my stress, my movement—not with judgment, but with curiosity.
- Balancing my plates with protein, fiber, and healthy fats
- Finding blood-sugar–friendly versions of foods I already loved
- Walking after meals instead of punishing workouts
- Creating routines I could actually stick with
Over time, the numbers started to change—but so did my life. I lost 10 kg and have kept it off. My energy came back. My mind felt clear again. My labs normalized. I completely reversed my prediabetes, without medications or strict, miserable diets.
Most importantly, I felt like I finally understood my own body, maybe for the first time ever.
The moment it became bigger than me
As I healed, I started noticing something: almost everyone around me knew someone with a blood sugar–related disease—diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver disease—but very few people understood what was really driving it, or what they could do about it.
Then, everything became painfully real.
My father-in-law passed away due to a diabetes-related infection. He was loving, kind, and deserved so much more time. What broke my heart the most was knowing that no one had ever clearly explained to him how food and lifestyle could have protected his health. How much power he actually had.
Why I created Sekkareh
I created Sekkareh to be what I wish my younger self—and my father-in-law—had: a calm, trustworthy, science-backed place to learn about blood sugar and insulin resistance before things become severe.
Sekkareh exists to educate, simplify, and empower. Insulin resistance is at the root of so many modern health issues, but if we catch it early, we can often reverse it. Even small changes can shift the trajectory of someone’s life.
If this page helps even one person feel less alone, catch insulin resistance earlier, or take one small step toward a healthier future, then it’s already fulfilled its mission.
A quick, jargon-free explanation
Why blood sugar and insulin resistance matter so much
You don’t need a medical degree to understand what’s happening in your body. Here’s the simple version, in human language.
Blood sugar 101
Blood sugar is simply the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood. Your body uses it for energy—so it’s not “bad.” The problem is when it goes too high, too often, for too long.
What is insulin resistance?
Insulin is a hormone that helps move sugar from your blood into your cells. Over time, if your body is constantly dealing with high blood sugar, your cells can stop responding properly. That’s insulin resistance.
Think of it like your cells slowly turning the “volume” down on insulin’s message.
Why this matters for you
Insulin resistance is a root cause behind many conditions: type 2 diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver disease, and more. The hopeful news? Caught early, it’s often reversible.
You are not powerless. Small, consistent changes in food, movement, sleep, and stress can make a real difference.
At Sekkareh, we take the science seriously—but we translate it into calm, realistic guidance you can actually use in everyday life.
No fear tactics. No all-or-nothing rules.
