What you say matters

When talking to a person with diabetes it is important to consider the words you use. Using supportive language can make a difference to the person’s ability to self manage their diabetes. Communication needs to be accurate, respectful, inclusive and free from judgement. If you are a  carer, loved one or health professional who supports a person living with diabetes  – this module is suitable for you.

This FREE 10 minute eLearning module will cover:

  • Supportive language
  • Constructive communication
  • Tips to communicate effectively
  • Diabetes related stigma

Diabetes Qualified uses language that supports and empowers people with diabetes in all of our education and resources. We acknowledge and support the work that Diabetes Australia does to improve communications with and about people with diabetes. You can read their position statement here.
