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.

Diabetes stigma is an unwanted guest.

People with diabetes are too often blamed for their disease and made to feel shame or embarrassment.

Viewing someone in a negative way just because they have a health condition is a form of stigma, and it causes people harm.
