ACB Media Calendar

Join us to listen to Shae Puckett from Diatribe share how Diatribe is working hard to build a world where people with diabetes are seen with dignity, approached with curiosity instead of judgement, and welcomed with compassion. Stigma can make people feel isolated and misunderstood. Have you ever encountered any of the following situations which are exampels of diabetes stigma? People who assume that you caused your own diabetes, people telling you that you should not be eating what you are eating, people telling you that you should perform tasks to manage your diabetes, such as testing your blood glucose or taking insulin only in private, people who assume that you cannot do certain jobs because you have diabetes. In this presentation, we will discuss how, along with Diatribe and others, we can advocate for better understanding, acceptance and support of people who have diabetes.
