Associations between weight self‐stigma and healthy diet and physical activity among adults with type 2 diabetes: Cross‐sectional results from the second Diabetes MILES – Australia (MILES‐2) study
This study provides novel evidence of negative associations between weight self-stigma and self-care behaviours among adults with type 2 diabetes. Weight self-stigma is a demonstrated barrier to self-care behaviours in type 2 diabetes cohorts. Acknowledgement and strategies to address weight self-stigma are needed in clinical care and health programmes.
