Why should health professionals care about #diabetes stigma and discrimination? -Richard I.G. Holt ‘Stigma is a barrier to diabetes care’ ‘HCP can magnify stigma with bias and jugement’ #EASD2023 #dedoc°voices #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #PayItForward #EndDiabetesStigma

OOf. Some of that language Helga Nefdt experienced in pregnancy! She’s not alone in experiencing those words. This needs to change! #dedoc #dedocsymposium #EASD2023

Really inspiring talk from Helga Nefdt in the #dedoc° symposium EASD. Feeling psychologically safe within diabetes care is fundamental #EndDiabetesStigma #EASD2023

"be mindful of what you're doing" @ChelcieRice refers to what you say including on social media, online. "Ask questions and standup for yourself" in the workplace. Powerful talk 👊. I've been in that position not wanting to tell people in work. Now I can 🗣️ and feel supported

"Self managing in silence is exhausting ...but being normal is how I kept myself safe from judgement" says the amazing Helga Nefdt Boy oh boy, I think a lot of people can relate to this and it's horrible being alone and fearful of stigma This HAS to change! #EndDiabetesStigma

The Diabetic Survivor highlighting diabetes stigma in art form 🎨 "Your diabetes is NOT your fault.” This is something EVERYONE should know, regardless of the type of diabetes. "Living with diabetes is relentless 24/7" - referring to the loop image...it's constant. 180 decisions!!
