In my line of work, I'm so often struck by the major disconnect between what the latest #science tells us about the causes of #type2diabetes & what most people believe I'm convinced that closing this knowledge gap is essential for tackling #diabetes #stigma & the harm it brings

So since #AssistedDying is very topical due to #AssistedDyingBill I thought I’d share this episode of @SunlessPod which is about the issue: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dow…

Continuing #diabetesawarenessmonth2024, here’s my #illustration for @ExploreWellcome & @daisywshaw & her story about#patientexperience with #type1diabetes. wellcomecollection.org/stories #graphicmedicine #art #sciart #london #medicine #comics #DiabetesStories • #manchester #gbdoc
