💙 It's World Diabetes Day

At FRIO, we’re proud to stand with the global community in recognising the impact of diabetes in the workplace. This year’s theme highlights how far too many people living with diabetes still face stigma, discrimination and inadequate support at work.
World Diabetes Day

📊 Did you know? A global study by the International Diabetes Federation found:

❌ 40% of employees with diabetes reported negative treatment at work.

❌ 1 in 3 considered leaving their job because of how they were treated.

❌ 28% said they’d been denied breaks/time off for diabetes management.

🔍 For fridge-/med-cooling specialists like us and the broader workplace:

We believe that providing inclusive working environments means:

💙 Recognising diabetes as a manageable condition that requires support, not silence

💙 Ensuring colleagues feel safe to discuss their needs (e.g., flexible scheduling, private space for checking glucose or administering insulin)

💙 Promoting awareness across the whole team so no one feels isolated or unfairly treated

✔️ At FRIO we are committed to:

💙 Supporting any employees or contractors living with diabetes with respect and understanding

💙 Encouraging open dialogue about workplace health needs

💙 Advocating for workplaces everywhere to adopt simple changes that make a big difference

👉 We invite all our followers and business partners to join us: raise awareness, share this post, and ask your own workplace: “Are we doing enough to support people living with diabetes?”

Let’s create workplaces where everyone—regardless of health condition—can thrive.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month.🩸

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) impacts close to 10 million people worldwide: children, teens, and adults who struggle with this costly, degenerative disease. Millions of patients juggle the hourly needs of insulin, carbs, stress and physical activity. It may sound simple but it’s not.

🌍 November is Diabetes Awareness Month 💙

Every November, the global diabetes community comes together to raise awareness, share stories, and support those living with diabetes.

Diabetes Awareness Month has been observed since 1975 — a time to shine a light on this lifelong condition that affects millions around the world.

📅 World Diabetes Day – celebrated on November 14th – marks the birthday of Frederick Banting, who, alongside Charles Best, discovered insulin — a breakthrough that changed millions of lives.

Join us this month to help raise awareness and show your support.
Use and help spread the word 💙

You watch your carbs. You time your insulin. You stay active, eat well, and follow your plan to the letter. And yet—your blood sugar still drops.
