- Relationship to Diabetes
- At risk of diabetes
Over 50% of people living with diabetes miss healthcare appointments at least sometimes due to stigma, according to our new research.
We are investigating the stigma experienced by people living with or at risk of diabetes and how we can support them. Over the last year we have listened to the experiences of people affected by diabetes, to understand how widespread this issue is.
We’ve spoken to colleagues from across the organisation and experts in stigma from across the UK to develop a long-term approach to tackling the issue.
As part of this work, we recently carried out brand new research into diabetes related stigma. We held 16 in-depth interviews followed by participants keeping a two-week diary to share any experiences. We then used these interview insights to help shape a survey sent to 450 people living with or at risk of diabetes.
