Popular Kiwi singer and radio presenter Anika Moa has shared a very personal and honest story of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
The 40-year-old musician posted a photo of herself, decked out in running gear, looking very fit and healthy, but her caption painted a very different picture.

In a statement, Lotto NZ said there had been a mutual decision made with the band to remove the tickets from sale following the negative feedback, and it offered an apology.
Problem Gambling Foundation spokesperson Andree Froude told RNZ the promotion risked normalising gambling to young fans. They re seeing their favourite band on a gambling product, which not only serves to normalise gambling, but could encourage them to buy the product. We need to also think about where the money is coming from. it is often the vulnerable who are impacted the most.

But the band says it feels the support that certain charity groups get from Lotto makes appearing on the scratchie worth it.
A photograph of the five members of the band Six60 adorns Lotto s new Instant Kiwi scratchie ticket and has caused outrage among the public and fans alike.
Lisa and her 11-year-old daughter are huge Six60 fans and frequently go to their shows. We listen to Six60 all the time on Spotify, we ve been to the movie (about the band) a few times, we re about to head to the concert here in Wellington and have been looking forward to that for months, she said.
