My name is Manikya Kuriti, and I'm an endocrinologist. And I take care of predominantly diabetic patients, but also hormonal disorders and pituitary issues. The reason I do what I do is because it's more cerebral stuff, and I do love those challenges, and that's the reason I do it. So I'm originally from India, where there is a lot of diabetes because Asians are prone with diabetics. My father himself is a diabetic, and that's how I navigated towards the field. And so if any patient with diabetes approaches me, I have that personal feeling on how hard and challenging the disease is. So with that empathy, I definitely help my patients and try to do the best I can to get good results for them.

So I personally love to eat a lot. And as Indians, our main staple food is rice. So when I personally preach something to my patients that this is what you're supposed to do, I also want to put that into my day-to-day living and imagine me telling my father that this is what is good for you, I have to also do that in my personal lifestyle. And over time, I do realize it's not easy, but at the same time, for our family, for our better health, we have to do at least a middle ground. So that's how personal fitness, diet, all these things come into the picture. Because in diabetes, apart from medications, these two also have a very, very significant weightage.

I did my medical school back home in India, and then I did my residency here in United States in Boston at Tufts Medical Center. And then we did a couples match, and that's how we ended up for our fellowship, both me and my husband at University of Louisville. And that's what brought us to Louisville, and then we fell in love with the place. It has all four seasons. It's not as chaotic and busy like Boston. So that's how we ended up here. With what I do, I navigated towards liking personal fitness. So I'm into exercise and personal training a little bit. I have a six-year-old, so I am busy with her activities. So we do a lot of crafts, painting, et cetera. So my life revolves around her.
