Many Asian countries, including Japan, China, and South Korea, continue to use terms that reference sugar and urine, contributing to ongoing stigma, while most of the rest of the world seem to use terms related to the original "Diabetes," meaning "to pass through." The 16th Scientific Meeting of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD) was held, featuring a pivotal joint symposium organized by AASD and the Japanese Association of Diabetes Education and Care where an in-depth discussion was carried out on diabetes-related terminology across various Asian countries and regions, with a particular focus on the stigma associated with existing terms. The symposium participants reached a consensus on the necessity of revising the stigmatizing diabetes terminology across Asia and agreed to continue discussions and monitor progress at the 17th AASD Scientific Meeting, scheduled to be held in 2025.
许多亚洲国家，包括日本、中国和韩国，仍然使用与糖和尿液有关的术语，这导致了持续的污名化，而世界其他大多数国家似乎使用与最初的“Diabetes”（糖尿病）相关的术语，意思是“pass through”（穿过）。第 16 届亚洲糖尿病学会（AASD）科学会议举行，其中一个重要的联合研讨会由 AASD 和日本糖尿病教育和护理协会组织，深入讨论了亚洲各地与糖尿病相关的术语，特别关注与现有术语相关的污名化问题。研讨会参与者就亚洲修订污名化糖尿病术语的必要性达成共识，并同意在定于 2025 年举行的第 17 届 AASD 科学会议上继续讨论并监测进展。
