9:00- 10:30 ROOM 1: Symposium - Take the Pledge: An International Consensus to Bring an End to Diabetes Stigma and Discrimination (Chair: Dr Elizabeth Holmes-Truscott)

Diabetes stigma refers to the negative social judgments, stereotypes, and prejudices that unfairly affect people with diabetes all over the world. Around 4 in 5 people with diabetes have experienced diabetes stigma. Diabetes stigma can lead to being treated differently. Up to 1 in 3 people with diabetes have been discriminated against due to their diabetes. To bring an end to diabetes stigma and discrimination, 51 experts from 18 countries came together. They have lived experience, research and clinical experience. They reviewed the scientific evidence and established an international consensus on 49 Statements of Evidence and Recommendations. They have also achieved a consensus on a Pledge to bring an end to diabetes stigma and discrimination. Available at: www.enddiabetesstigma.org. In this symposium, presenters will detail the aims, methods and findings of the consensus, including the evidence and recommendations to bring an end to diabetes stigma and discrimination.
