Pump Couture Fashion Show is an evening dedicated to changing the conversation around the stigma of living with diabetes while staying fashionable! Pump Couture is about inclusivity and
empowering diverse groups of people affected by diabetes. Body positivity is an issue many people struggle with and can be exacerbated for those living with diabetes. The need to wear
medical devices and scarring on the body from insulin injections and insulin pump sites being constant reminders of the individual’s condition. Addressing negative misunderstandings about
diabetes and working to change views that cause stigma is an important priority for Diabetes Canada, as we work to improve the quality of life for those living with diabetes.
