Navigating hyperglycaemia avoidance and emotional wellbeing in type 1 diabetes
“I’ve always felt incredibly passionate about the mental and emotional aspects of our condition, having been through several — no scratch that — MANY periods of burnout and the associated bouts of depression,” writes Tony Fox, who attended DUKPC this year as a #dedoc° voice.
“This is something I feel we don’t talk about enough (even more in T1D men): mental health in general, and particularly health related aspects of our emotional wellbeing.“
