People with diabetes can't
work effectively,
have children,
do sports,
travel.
That's a common opinion in Russia.
Because of this stereotypes and prejudice, people diagnosed with diabetes lose their purpose and aspiration in life.
Accu-Chek put together more than 80 diabetics and caregivers to create a campaign highlighting the issue and encouraging them to continue the fight.
Diabetics from director to cast, crew and even extras made an inspirational film
with the message:
Don’t suffer from diabetes, live with it.
