Welcome!
You found this page from a Miss Diabetes Postcard at the End Diabetes Stigma Global Summit 2026!
Through comics, I explore the lived experience of type 1 diabetes, and how they can reduce diabetes stigma in healthcare and society.
Diabetes stigma comes from not understanding the realities of living with this medical condition. Comics make these “invisible” realities visible. They help people understand the emotional, cognitive and social labour behind diabetes management.
Comics are a powerful tool for health communication. They help translate diabetes in ways traditional medical communication cannot. And the recent report from the National Literary Trust reinforces the importance of recognising the use of comics in health literacy!
What does this mean for you?
Miss Diabetes collaborates with organisations to develop comics for public engagement, education, and to end diabetes stigma.
I collaborate with researchers and clinicians to develop comics that communicate patient experience, support education, bring lived realities into clinical practice, and translate research into accessible formats for public engagement.
