NZs very own IDF Young Leader, Tess James
Posted by Hayley McDonald on 3rd Mar 2020
"For anyone life is filled with constant highs and lows, but especially for us diabetics and our blood sugars! I live beyond by accepting the bad moments and retaining a positive outlook on my relationship with Diabetes and I love to help others get through the tough times and create their own positive outlook on Diabetes as well. Since being diagnosed with Type 1 many doors, I would never have discovered otherwise, have been opened and I am currently embarking on the journey of being the New Zealand representative for the International Diabetes Federation Youth Leadership Programme. Life with Diabetes is certainly a rollercoaster, however it is important to me to never let Diabetes be the reason I say “no”, instead, by working with my Diabetes and making adjustments I say “yes” to every opportunity!" - @tess.james
