“I am a Diabetes Champion because I have been living a successful, healthy and happy life with type one diabetes for over 23 years since I was three-years-old. Before I graduated from medical school I represented Canada as the International Diabetes Federation’s Canadian Ambassador to the UN Special Resolution on Diabetes. I am a passionate diabetes advocate and jump at the chance to tell my story whenever I can. I’m hoping to be done my Ophthalmology training in 6 years so that I can look after the vision of our diabetes community. I am living proof that diabetes is an obstacle that can be overcome and am inspired by all of the stories I see on this site.”
