About
Since its dazzling debut in 2022, Pump Couture has raised more than $2 million to help send kids to Diabetes Canada’s D-Camps, where they build confidence, community, and lifelong memories. This one-of-a-kind event celebrates real people living with diabetes, boldly stepping onto the runway to help create a more inclusive and compassionate world for people living with diabetes.
At its heart, Pump Couture is about empowerment, inclusivity, and body positivity. From insulin pumps to injection scars, our models wear their stories with pride, challenging outdated perceptions and showing the world that diabetes doesn’t define them — it fuels their strength and resilience.
Pump Couture is part of Diabetes Canada’s broader efforts to Change the Conversation about diabetes. Through events like this we are raising awareness to challenge stigma and harmful narratives about diabetes and shift language, values, and beliefs — so people with diabetes feel more seen, valued, and supported
Join us and be part of a vibrant, inspiring experience that uplifts voices, celebrates diversity, and supports a future where everyone living with diabetes feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
Diabetes is relentless, but
we are type resilient.
