Ariana Omipi is a well-known New Zealand influencer with a focus on food, health and lifestyle.

Diagnosed with pre-diabetes at 18, she knows firsthand that, if you have diabetes, it’s not unusual to experience feelings of anxiety, depression or distress. In recent years she has been going through a lifestyle transformation through fitness and healthy eating and has reversed her diagnosis, and knows that if you have diabetes it’s important to prioritise your mental health.

She finds that using her Fitbit encourages her to reflect on your mental health and helps to manage stress and has worked with them to create a video for Diabetes Action Month to encourage others to live healthy, active lives.
