A new study sheds light on how stigma shapes the everyday experiences of young adults living with early-onset type 2 diabetes, and why it matters for care, communication and outcomes.

In our latest episode, we sit down with Dr Michelle Hadjiconstantinou, Lead Chartered Psychologist at the Leicester Diabetes Centre and Behavioural Scientist at the University of Leicester, to tackle an important but often overlooked issue: the stigma surrounding Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) in young adults.

Every year on 14 November, World Diabetes Day (WDD) raises awareness of the condition affecting over 500 million people worldwide.

In honour of this year’s World Diabetes Day theme, ‘Diabetes and the Workplace’, we’re focusing on what it means to live with diabetes at work.
