Let's talk about diabetes and mental health - we all need to!

It’s a reality for many people living with diabetes, but what exactly is diabetes burnout, and how can you move through it? Just as importantly, how can you support someone you love who is feeling burnt out… What should you say, what shouldn’t you say? We speak to Type 1 diabetes psychologist Daniel Sher for some expert input.

Diabetes and mental health is something we should all be talking about more - diabetes burnout is a natural emotional response to living with diabetes, as Daniel explains to us. This is an honest conversation about how diabetes can lead to depression, anxiety, diabetes distress and diabetes burnout.
