Living and Coping with Diabetes
Being diagnosed with diabetes, whether it’s type 1 or type 2, is life changing. And it can make you feel worried, overwhelmed, or even scared at times. When you have diabetes, you need to pay close attention to everything you eat, your activity, and blood glucose levels — on top of everything else in life. Plus, it can make you feel angry, depressed, or anxious that you have this extra burden.

Our team includes a uniquely qualified group of experts who specialize in the emotional aspects of diabetes.
