Incredibly grateful to join our family of #dedoc° voices this year to #PayItForward and uplift the power of lived experience in diabetes advocacy — #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs.

This presence would not have been possible without the unwavering support and coordination from our #dedoc° leadership team across the globe, the strength and solidarity of our global community of #dedocvoices°, and the collective efforts of U.S.-based advocates who came together to ensure our community was represented more than ever before.

Due to the unpredictability of the current political climate, many international #dedoc° voices were unable to travel and attend ADA Scientific Sessions in person this year. Despite these challenges, our community showed up — virtually, creatively, and collaboratively — to ensure that the voice of people living with diabetes remained visible and impactful.

With deep gratitude to all who continue to center the lived experience in diabetes care and advocacy 💙
