Using Prosthetic Legs, 10 Portraits of Suti Karno After Amputation Due to Diabetes - Now Living a Healthy Lifestyle

Suti Karno, who played Atun in the soap opera SI DOEL ANAK SEKOLAHAN, has been suffering from diabetes for approximately 18 years. Due to the disease, Suti Karno eventually decided to amputate her right leg.

As reported on kemenkes.go.id, diabetes can cause potential threats to the feet by damaging nerves and narrowing blood vessels, thus reducing blood flow.

"Diabetes is not hereditary, it's because of my eating habits and lifestyle. Because back then, I didn't want to drink plain water. I would drink soft drinks and sweet iced tea," said Suti Karno on Trans TV, South Jakarta, Monday (9/1/2023).

"Especially during filming, I would constantly drink sweet iced tea. So when I was filming in Jogja, I collapsed and it turned out my blood sugar was already 360. And I was diagnosed with diabetes," she added.

"Oh yes, when it comes to lifestyle, it's because now I can no longer eat freely, because I've been taught that eating well has its time. Now I have stopped eating in the morning, I can snack at 10 o'clock, eat bread, cake, or fruit," she said.

Not only that, now, Suti Karno is undergoing physiotherapy and regularly checking her health condition. "Now, Alhamdulillah, I am currently fit for therapy, so I have declined many offers. Because I pay for my BPJS, so if I get a schedule, it's uncertain. So I can't do an interview today. Can't do that, right?" Suti Karno concluded.
