The relationship between mental health and diabetes is complex and bidirectional. On one hand, managing a chronic condition like diabetes can contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression due to the constant need for self-care, dietary restrictions, and the potential for complications. Conversely, mental health issues can impact diabetes by influencing lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, and may lead to irregular blood sugar levels. The physiological stress response can also affect insulin sensitivity.
Moreover, individuals with depression or anxiety may be less inclined to adhere to their diabetes management plans, increasing the risk of complications. Recognizing and addressing the interconnectedness of mental health and diabetes is crucial for holistic healthcare, emphasizing the importance of integrated approaches that consider both physical and emotional well-being.
Remember - Complications, although common, are both preventable & treatable.
