This month, dive into the crucial conversation surrounding Type 2 Diabetes with 'Understanding Stigma in T2D,' a compelling vodcast hosted by IHSTS and facilitated by Krista Lamb, featuring the esteemed Dr. Diane Finegood. This insightful discussion delves deep into the pervasive and often invisible burden of stigma that weighs heavily on individuals living with diabetes. It goes beyond surface-level observations, dissecting the complex web of negative beliefs and judgments that contribute to this stigma, and how these misconceptions profoundly impact the lives of those affected.
The vodcast meticulously explores the multifaceted reasons behind the persistence of stigma, unraveling the societal narratives that perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Dr. Finegood and Krista Lamb examine the significant role played by media portrayals, which often oversimplify the complexities of diabetes, and the influence of personal experiences, which can either reinforce or challenge preconceived notions.
Ultimately, "we need to change the conversation and build trust." Hear more about how we can do this.
