Today is #WorldDiabetesDay! Our campaign this year focuses on diabetes and well-being. While diabetes can shape people’s lives, it does not define them. As they navigate challenges, from daily management to emotional tolls, they remind us that behind the strength are real struggles. It’s time to put well-being at the heart of diabetes care and start the change we need for a better #DiabetesLife. Support the campaign at https://lnkd.in/dcJMsBe
