Next up, let’s talk diabetes and work. Fitting diabetes check-ups around work can be hard.

Appointments can be at inconvenient times or places, and it might not be easy taking time off. Perhaps you’re not even sure what reasonable adjustments you’re entitled to 🤷

In a recent survey, almost one third (31%) of people living with diabetes admitted finding it difficult to discuss taking time off work for medical appointments.*

When people are being refused time off work for appointments, or having to use their annual leave, it’s no surprise they're missing their checks.

Your check-ups matter❗ Discover your rights at work 👉: https://orlo.uk/nNDnL

It's World Diabetes Day!! This year, is highlighting the voices of the diabetic community to open up a conversation around the impact of diabetes stigma and start changing the mindset. Diabetes is a complex serious condition, and oversimplifying what it means to live with diabetes, and why it develops, can contribute to harmful stigma.

BNSSG Diabetic Eye Screening Programme has marked the event by taking part in a patient education event hosted by which included some great topics from nutrition and wellbeing to the latest research.

With World Diabetes Day coming up in November, we wanted to share this video ⬇

‘What a cure feels like’. Created with over 35 people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D), this film brings to life real daily experiences – the relentlessness, the resilience, the challenges, and above all, the hope for a cure.
