The 2024 World Diabetes Day theme for 2024 is wellbeing. This means being attentive to physical, mental and societal wellbeing. For example, did you know that 77% of people living with diabetes have experienced a mental health condition? Sometimes we may forget that people living with one disability may also experience another disability. This is why we believe it is so important to spread the #NotAshamed message and support wellbeing. #DiabetesLife Learn more at https://lnkd.in/dcJMsBe.?
