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

We did have a concurrent Crowdfundr campaign to raise funds for the full 100+ graphic novel is still live and can be supported here: crowdfundr.com/thelifeandsou… We're currently using the money raised here to match fund the rest. Absolutely fine if you don't want to support this!

Sadly the suicide rate in West Yorkshire continues to be above the national average. There is loads of work to still do - and I genuinely believe this graphic novel can help this story reach a new demographic and be a very small part in that change❤️
