Driving global change in diabetes awareness and policy
#dedoc° is a global network of diabetes advocates and influencers.
Through programs like #dedoc° voices and #docday°, we amplify personal experiences, raise awareness, and create opportunities for meaningful change in diabetes care and advocacy.
We are bridging the gap between those living with diabetes and the organizations, policymakers, and healthcare providers shaping their care. By amplifying personal stories and creating spaces for dialogue, #dedoc° ensures that the real-life experiences of people with diabetes are central to the global conversation. Through strategic partnerships and innovative advocacy, #dedoc° empowers individuals to drive systemic change in diabetes awareness, affordability, and access to care.
At its core, #dedoc° is committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and informed community. By connecting advocates across the globe, the organization builds a collective voice that is impossible to ignore.
Whether through educational resources, public events, or groundbreaking programs, #dedoc° strives to break down stigmas, inspire action, and improve the lives of everyone impacted by diabetes.
“The #dedoc° voices program has helped me find my voice as a diabetes advocate. I have learned to speak up and pay it forward to my community. So if you are an advocate, I encourage you to apply!”
Thapi Semenya,
T1D
#dedoc° voice from South Africa
“The #dedoc° voices program has given me the opportunity to speak to a wider audience about diabetes, especially about type 2 diabetes – without the fear of stigmatisation.”
Ken Tait,
