Inspired by Simone Biles' consistency, Nellie Biles strives to incorporate the same routine into her lifestyle

After getting diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, Simone Biles’ mother Nellie Biles recently shared in an interview with The Healthy how she takes inspiration from Simone Biles’ consistency in her sport to try to keep herself fit, stating:

“I will say that what I admire is the fact Simone is consistent and she’s dedicated to her sport. So when I’m watching her, I can see that she is achieving her goal with that dedication and with that consistency.”

She added:

“So, I sort of try to mirror that with what I do in terms of my lifestyle to make sure that I myself am also consistent - with my eating habits and my exercise, with making sure that I follow up and consult with my physician to make sure that I again achieve my goals, which would be to maintain my A1C level.”

Notably, Simone and her younger sister Adria were adopted by Ronald and Nellie Biles, her maternal grandparents, in 2001, after Simone’s mother couldn’t take care of them.
