Bio
Floor Kaspers
Lydia is enthusiastic, skilled and well rounded in project management. She has managed to build an influential foundation with strong roots in the diabetes community and partnership with many other organisations. I consider Lydia's most unique skill to build something from scratch, get others on board and get things done. Even though she works strategically and has a strong business sense, it is very clear that she is 'all in' and works from the heart.
Dries Hettinga
Lydia heeft met haar kennis, gedrevenheid en doorzettingsvermogen het onderwerp 'Diabetes op School' stevig op de kaart gezet. Daarbij is het prettig samen werken, ieder vanuit zijn eigen invalshoek en met zijn eigen kennis en ervaring, maar wel met een gezamenlijk doel. Wat dat betreft zijn er weinig betere 'diabetes advocates' dan Lydia!

Running the Foundation 'Carefree with to school'. The Foundation is campaigning to make sure all children with a chronic disease get the support and care they deserve at school. In order to have the same opportunities at school as other children.We know good care is possible because we’re seeing it happen. And we want to make sure it happens right across the Netherlands. We know many schools and families need a helping hand, that’s why we are working together with children, parents and carers, schools, healthcare professionals and the Government to achieve support and care for all children with A chronic disease. We do this by creating possibilities, raising awareness, providing information and advice, and developing toolkits.

I make a difference in supporting families, parents and children integrating juvenile diabetes into their lives. My interventions build on my professional competencies as a diabetes advocate, trainer, writer, speaker and mediator. More important my deeper insights, inspirations and motivation are generated by bringing up my two brave daughters who both have juvenile diabetes since they are toddlers.
