Marking #WorldDiabetesDay2023. Knowledge is key for people to know your risk, signs to get checked for diabetes & knowledge is key to support people diagnosed with the best access to tech & info to live life managing their diabetes. @Diabetes_ie @MidwestDiabetes @BSugrTrampoline

[MidwestDiabetes @MidwestDiabetes]

We want to raise awareness around #DiabetesStigma this #WorldDiabetesDay, November 14th. Stigma is at the root of diabetes being pushed towards the bottom of national and global agendas, thereby impacting #AccessToCare for the 537 million adults world wide impacted by #Diabetes

"Diabetes stigma can also have a negative impact on public and government support and funding for diabetes research, prevention, clinical care and treatments." - THIS.

💔 but not new. I do feel trapped in a healthcare system no one can navigate without having the good fortune to meet others also trying to do the same.

*Travel Checklist Tip*

Create a general checklist on your phone for things you need when travelling with diabetes (tick boxes are great). When finished, just uncheck the boxes and it's ready for next time. Less stress!
