End Diabetes Stigma! Why a Global Summit Matters
The Global Summit to End Diabetes Stigma brings together people living with diabetes, advocates, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers from around the world to move beyond awareness and toward action. Taking place in Jaipur, India, on March 28–29, 2026, the Summit is designed as a shared space for dialogue, co-creation, and collaboration. With lived experience at its core, it aims to challenge stigma across healthcare, policy, and society, and to build practical, collective solutions to help end diabetes stigma globally. #dedoc° offers 100 travel grants for advocates from LMICs to ensure diverse attendance and impact around the world.
