Many people with diabetes experience:
- Anxiety around glucose levels or food
- Feelings of burnout or frustration
- Fatigue that makes motivation harder
- Isolation or guilt when things don’t go “perfectly”
Here’s the truth: mental health and diabetes are deeply connected. Stress, depression, and anxiety can make managing diabetes harder, and the effort of managing diabetes can increase stress and emotional fatigue.
Taking care of your mind is part of taking care of your body.
❤️Talk about how you’re feeling, you don’t have to carry it alone.
❤️Build small self-care routines that restore your energy.
❤️Reach out for support from a counsellor, diabetes educator, or support group.
If you’re living with diabetes and struggling emotionally, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not failure.
