Mental Health and Diabetes

"People living with diabetes need emotional and psychological support to manage their diabetes well and protect their mental health."

"Diabetes doesn't just affect someone physically. The effect of varying blood sugar levels on mood - and the relentless need to manage the condition - affects mental health."

(Diabetes UK's Future of Diabetes report, 2017)
