Some people may not know this about me but I'm a proud ambassador for @DiabetesUK and have been a supporter since my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.   Today, on #WorldDiabetesDay I want to join Diabetes UK in starting to tackle the negativity and stigma that people living with diabetes face.  For me, it was slightly different. I was going for my fifth Olympic gold medal, there was a lot of media attention and a lot of positive stories. But for many others, it’s not like that.  So many people misunderstand the condition and make judgements which can be subtle, but its effects are harmful.  It’s time to change the mindset. Please check out their new campaign, ‘If You Knew’ on their social media channels and get involved 💙

Congrats to Mandy Snape for being Highly Commended for the Deirdre McGowan Educator of the Year award at the #CelebratingDESMOND Awards! 👏👏 This annual event honors those who go above and beyond in providing type 2 diabetes education in their communities. #WorldDiabetesDay
