Living with diabetes while striving to excel at work can come with unique challenges and misunderstandings. That’s the reality for millions of people living with diabetes. 🌿
Diabetes is a condition that disrupts the body’s ability to control blood sugar. It occurs when the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells (Type 1) or when the body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it effectively (Type 2). Without insulin, glucose cannot reach the cells, depriving them of the energy they need to function properly.
🔵 This 14 November, on World Diabetes Day, the theme, “Diabetes and Well-being in the Workplace” reminds us that awareness goes beyond care and treatment. It’s about empathy, inclusion, and creating environments where people with diabetes can truly thrive.
🌍 The global picture reminds us why awareness matters:
🔸 Nearly 600 million people worldwide are living with diabetes.
🔸 7 in 10 are of working age.
🔸 3 in 4 experience anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges linked to their condition.
🔸4 in 5 face diabetes burnout, the physical and emotional exhaustion that comes from the constant effort of managing diabetes.
At myTomorrows, we believe no one should face diabetes alone - at home, or at work. 💙
👉 Because support begins with understanding, we have a dedicated resource page on type 1 diabetes to empower people with knowledge and education about this condition.
In this space, we have gathered information on symptoms, diagnosis, available treatments and ongoing research, with the goal of providing reliable resources to people living with diabetes, their loved ones, and anyone seeking to learn more.
