"This Diabetes Week, let's change how we talk about diabetes.
8 out of 10 people living with diabetes say they’ve faced negative attitudes because of their diabetes - people passing judgement, making sweeping statements, or blaming and shaming people living with diabetes.
This is diabetes stigma. And it causes real harm to millions.
That’s why we’re on a mission to ‘Strike Out Stigma’.
To show people that nobody chooses diabetes. That it isn’t anyone’s fault. And that by changing the way we talk about diabetes, together we can create a world where diabetes does no harm."
Diabetes Week takes place from 8 to 14 June 2026.
Below you’ll find resources, information, stories and more.
We provide a number of services and support for carers of all conditions.
We have extremely experienced advisors who can support carers on their journey to supporting a loved one and provide signposting and information and advice relevant to their caring role.
We also offer a range of events and information sessions for carers.
You can find them all on our events calendar.
If you need any support in your caring role, or would just like for us to keep you updated, you can sign up and receive our welcome pack here.
Alternatively, you can get in touch with us via phone or email.
