If there's one thing Hamilton woman Rebecca Woolly wants young people living with diabetes to know, it's the importance of taking their health seriously.
As a teenager, the disability sector worker often neglected taking insulin for her diabetes and filled her body with sugar, despite knowing the risks. After all, any tests she did at the doctors came back fine. But when Rebecca hit her twenties, her health suddenly deteriorated and, tragically, she lost her right eye. Five years later, she also underwent a double transplant for a new kidney and pancreas.
