NEW Language Guidance for Diabetes-related Research, Education, and Publications

As you prepare your poster presentation, please keep the following in mind, regarding language and diabetes. We no longer use the word “diabetic” in any context at AADE. Instead we use “person with diabetes,” “person living with diabetes,” or “diabetes-related.” We are working hard to change the language around diabetes by adopting person-centered, strengths-based, and empowering words and messages. Please do not use “compliant,” “adherent,” or “control” regarding people who have diabetes, because these can be judgmental terms.

Please refer to this resource as you prepare your poster. It contains a more comprehensive list for your convenience. Please do not use the words in the “problematic” list; instead stick with the “preferred” terms. If you are interested in learning more about the language movement in diabetes, please read the joint AADE/ADA paper also found on the AADE website.
