strike out stigma

Passing judgement, making comments or sweeping statements, blaming and shaming. These things cause serious harm to people living with all types of diabetes. This is stigma, and it poses a serious risk to a person’s physical and mental health.

Nobody should experience judgement or blame because of a health condition. That’s why we are campaigning to ‘Strike Out Stigma’ so that everyone gets the support they need to live well with their diabetes. 

Sign up to join the movement and help us fight for a world where everyone with diabetes accesses the care and support they need. Let’s change how we talk about diabetes.
