Today is World Diabetes Day. I’m proud to support @DiabetesUK’s call to #StrikeOutStigma. No one should face negative attitudes because of diabetes – yet 8 in 10 people say they have, and it’s affecting the care they receive. This must change.

In this #WorldDiabetesDay I want to recognise those living with diabetes across Scotland.
The #StrikeOutStigma campaign reminds us that no one should feel ashamed of living with diabetes. Stigma has no place in our communities or our healthcare system.
