A movement to end diabetes stigma.
Hero Image - Home

We believe that addressing diabetes stigma is an essential missing element of effective diabetes care and mental wellness.

And we aim to change that.

Our mission is to create a culture of compassion that helps people with diabetes live well with a serious but manageable condition by sharing stories, trusted information and actions.

Let’s End Diabetes Stigma (With Comedy).

Spoonful of Laughter is a national campaign to use comedy to educate about diabetes and push back against stigma and stereotypes.

We don’t want to just lecture people into changing their stigmatizing behavior. We want to lead people – giggling – into a kinder and more joyful future for all those affected by diabetes.
