Working together to reduce stigma in diabetes, help healthcare professionals better support people living with diabetes, and walk for a happier, healthier future.
Stigma Champion Partners
Tackling diabetes stigma is a key priority for Diabetes UK, and we are extremely grateful for Abbott's support to date, which has helped us fund research into identifying and understanding the different ways in which stigma can be perpetuated in the lives of those living with diabetes.
Using this vital insight from this research, we are moving forward with our plans at Diabetes UK to tackle diabetes related stigma, and are delighted to have Abbott as our 'Stigma Champion Partner' in 2025.
Abbott have not only pledged their support for Diabetes UK's stigma work but are also working to help tackle diabetes related stigma and prejudice with their #AboveTheBias campaign.

The Diabetes UK Continuous Professional Development (CPD) platform
Abbott are continuing their support for our Continuous Professional Development (CPD) platform for healthcare professionals. The platform offers a series of online courses, accredited by the Royal College of Nursing, aimed at giving healthcare professionals the confidence, skills and resources to better support people living with diabetes.
Since launching our platform in June 2021, Abbott have supported its development, enabling us to launch modules such as Emotional Wellbeing, Understanding Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes Remission and Diabetes Technology. We're continuing to grow the platform with new modules on Type 2 Prevention, Diabetes Complications and more coming up in the pipeline.
We're really grateful to Abbott for their support of this vital work, helping healthcare professionals to provide better diabetes care.

Tackling Inequalities Commission
Last year, Abbott supported our first ever Tackling Inequality Commission which brought together an expert panel to determine the biggest challenges for people with diabetes facing health inequality. The findings from the commission are helping us take the steps we need to support people living with diabetes in areas of deprivation, ensuring that everyone can live in a world where diabetes does no harm. Abbott provided funding, but they had no involvement or influence over the commission.
Diabetes UK Professional Conference
We were delighted to have Abbott’s continued support of our Diabetes UK Professional Conference for 2025 as Gold Sponsors.
