For Bassett, the subject is one close to her heart as she lost a loved one as a result. Her mother was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and eventually died of heart failure.

One of her regrets is that her family did not realize the connection in time to save her life. She said,

"I wish my family had recognized the link earlier, and that's why I want everyone living with Type 2 diabetes to know about the connection to heart disease and stroke and know that they can do something about it."

Bassett opened up to People that, although her mother was in touch with her doctors, she was very stubborn and didn't like to be told what to do, and unfortunately, she had a love affair with food, so it was difficult for her to change her diet.

She went further to share how the disease is a family affair as her uncle currently has Type 2 Diabetes. He is, however, taking preventive measures to ensure he doesn't end up having a heart attack or a stroke.
