Diabetes Australia (DA) is in the second year of a three year “Heads Up on Diabetes” campaign and this year is focusing on diabetes-related stigma.
Their research indicates as many as 4 out of 5 people with diabetes have experienced feelings of blame or shame as a result of living with the condition, so this year they wanted to ask Australians to ask themselves would they mind being treated the way people with diabetes are treated.
A series of graphics have been produced and here’s two of them that demonstrate the messages DA is trying to communicate.
