Next week is Diabetes Week (12-18 June 2023), a weeklong event raising awareness about Diabetes and encouraging individuals to be open and talk about their experiences. Our service hosts a free NHS expert-led live and interactive ‘Diabetes and Emotional Wellbeing’ webinar for those living with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.
A diabetes diagnosis can require behavioural changes, such as adapting your diet or taking regular medication which can be difficult to manage. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques such as thought challenging, worry management and sleep strategies can help people to navigate these challenges without getting stuck in a negative cycle. We also have a ‘Living well with Diabetes’ animation video to further support the emotional wellbeing of those living with Diabetes.
