World Diabetes Day 2025

World Diabetes Day is on 14 November 2025

Stigma causes harm. And that’s not ok. Because blame and judgement stop people getting the support they deserve.  

Last November we started a conversation around diabetes stigma, and hundreds of you shared your stories with us. This World Diabetes Day we'll be launching the next phase of our stigma campaign, starting by challenging some of the common misconceptions and hurtful comments that people with diabetes receive every day. Because it’s not just a comment, or a joke. Our words matter. 

Keep an eye on our social channels and website, and make sure you're part of the movement to strike out stigma.
