This Diabetes Week, let's change how we talk about diabetes.
8 out of 10 people living with diabetes say they’ve faced negative attitudes because of their diabetes - people passing judgement, making sweeping statements, or blaming and shaming people living with diabetes.
This is diabetes stigma. And it causes real harm to millions.
That’s why we’re on a mission to ‘Strike Out Stigma’.
To show people that nobody chooses diabetes. That it isn’t anyone’s fault. And that by changing the way we talk about diabetes, together we can create a world where diabetes does no harm.
Diabetes Week takes place from 8 to 14 June 2026
