World Diabetes Day 14 November.
Nobody sees it. The middle of the night jelly babies to treat your hypo. The stress of doing the weekly food shop. The raised eyebrows at beeping tech in the office. The fact they weren't the first person to ask 'should you be eating that?' or suggest 'you brought it on yourself'.
Nobody asked for this.
But if people knew...how that well-meaning comment actually made you feel, how many decisions you had to make in a day, or how important it is to see 'you' behind your diabetes, it would make a huge difference. It does make a huge difference.
So this #WorldDiabetesDay we'll be highlighting the voices of the diabetes community to open up a conversation around the impact of diabetes stigma and start changing the mindset.
