World Diabetes Day and Diabetes Stigma w/ Dr. Anna Serlachius: 15th November 2023

Yesterday was World diabetes day, a day to raise awareness about diabetes and battle some of the stigma around the disease. 

This morning Rawan spoke with Dr Anna Serlachius, senior lecturer of Psychological Medicine at the University of Auckland, about a new research project looking at stigma and discrimination amongst those with diabetes.

Rawan asked her about the importance of world diabetes day, what her research found about diabetes stigma and what we and the health system can do to make it easier for those with diabetes.
