For those that face Type 2 #diabetes, there can often be a heavy amount of misconceptions and stereotypes. We are supporting our partners at Beyond Type 2 this week as they fight to end the stigma around Type 2, creating a more honest and understanding narrative. Learn more below.
This week with Beyond Type 2, we’re talking ALL about the stigmas that people living with diabetes face every day—online, at work, at school, at home and even in the doctor’s office. 👉 ALL people with diabetes are stigmatized, but a lot of those stigmas and misconceptions are framed around type 2 diabetes. 👉 We know we are stronger together. We know stigmas, stereotypes, and not receiving proper care and support based on diabetes type has driven division among people who live with different types of diabetes. Because of those same stigmas, stereotypes, and inadequate care, our collective voices raised together—across all diabetes types—is a vitally needed shift. Flip through these images to learn more. Let’s stop the stigma together. 🛑
