60% of people believe the stigma attached to type 2 diabetes is down to the media—it’s time to change.

The story behind #FiveMillionFaces

Nearly 5 million people are currently living with type 2 diabetes in the UK.
To learn more about the experience of living with the condition, we reached out to over 30,000 people in our community and discovered that the leading reason people feel stigma around their diagnosis is because of how it’s portrayed in the media.
We want to change the narrative and show the world the incredible people behind the facts and figures. Type 2 diabetes develops as a result of many different factors and affects people from all walks of life—it’s time to tell your story.
