51: World Diabetes Day 2024: Diabetes & Wellbeing

Type 2 Diabetes Talk

In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional side of diabetes, exploring how well-being plays a vital role in managing type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
With 36% of people experiencing diabetes distress and 63% living in fear of complications, it’s clear that the mental and emotional toll of diabetes is just as significant as the physical aspects. You’ll learn practical strategies to manage these challenges, improve your emotional health, and take small steps to prioritize your overall well-being.
We also discuss powerful tools like future pacing—a mindset technique that helps you visualize your healthier, future self and use that vision to stay motivated and take positive action today. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing diabetes for years, this episode will offer you support, encouragement, and real-world steps to help you thrive, not just survive, with diabetes.
