About this listen
Type 2 diabetes carries a stigma in South Africa - particularly because it has been portrayed as a ‘lifestyle disease’. What is it like to be diagnosed with a condition that some people believe you gave yourself by eating the wrong food and not exercising enough? We speak to health coach Helga Nefdt about her Type 2 diagnosis and how she deals with diabetes stigma.
We also speak to Type 1 diabetes advocate Thapi Semenya about her journey with diabetes and stigma, and what we can do to change the situation.
We need to talk about diabetes stigma. Let's start the conversation! Is there a stigma around living with diabetes? Our community responds. · Understanding the stigma of diabetes for children. · Thapi Semenya: the girl with dialigo. · Abbott FreeStyle Libre CGM · Sweet Life Diabetic South Africans Website · Connect with Sweet Life on LinkedIn · Solid Gold Podcasts #BeHeard · Follow Diabetic South Africans on Facebook · Twitter · Instagram
