A mum was asked by her 12-year-old daughter "why she was yellow" days before being given heartbreaking news.
Misbah Ashraf spent 13 years helping her blind sister each day as well as being there for her five children before her world came crashing down as she started losing a vast amount of weight. The 43-year-old would help her sister, Saima, with day-to-day tasks at work and in her personal life after she became legally blind at 17, as well as managing family life at home but was forced to take a step back after her sister noticed she was losing weight.
She noticed that she was losing weight too quickly, as much as 4kg a week in June 2021, and after trips to the GP it was put down as her diabetes before her skin began to have a yellow tinge to it. Misbah dismissed it and said to her sister she would go after her daughter's 18th birthday which fell the next day.
