Top panel: An older woman and man ride bicycles outdoors, smiling and wearing helmets. The text reads: “Your diabetes will shift and change as you age,”
Bottom panel: A multigenerational family sits around a table enjoying a meal together. A younger woman helps serve food to an older woman. Everyone is smiling. The text continues: “But the need for care and understanding remains the same.”
Family, friends and caregivers play a vital role in supporting people living with #diabetes:
✅ Listen with empathy
✅ Learn about their challenges
✅ Show up for them
A strong, caring network can help prevent isolation and encourage self-care 👉 bit.ly/4hUOjY0 #WorldDiabetesDay
