A frank discussion about diabetes stigma
I have known the lovely Scott Johnson (above) almost since the day I entered the diabetes space. He was one of my early supporters and beyond welcoming. I recently had the pleasure to reconnect with him for a video blog he was producing on diabetes stigma.
One call out from our discussion is the Pledge to end diabetes stigma, which you can take and share.
Here’s the talk below on deconstructing diabetes stigma featuring Renza Scibilia, Mari Ruddy, Scott, myself and Dennis Goldensohn. Afterward, take a look at some of the other video blogs Scott has done. Several get into the emotional aspects of living with this condition, as he interviews BDI’s (Behavioral Diabetes Institute) psychologists Drs Bill Polonsky and Susan Guzman.
