"The psychological impact of dealing with the stress of the daily management of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can be arduous and challenging. Yet this area is rarely discussed in medical settings despite the fact that the emotional context can undermine the person's ability to stay motivated in the essential self-care tasks that are vital for good health.Diabetes and Wellbeing presents a range of research-based psychological principles that have been demonstrated to positively impact emotional wellbeing. It covers a broad spectrum of diabetes care from managing the initial diagnosis, overcoming depression and diabetes 'burnout', dealing effectively with fears and anxiety, managing food and weight issues and eating disorders, coping with the impact of sexual difficulties, and communicating with healthcare professionals.Jen Nash effectively guides the reader through strategies for better management of the issues associated with living with diabetes, moving individuals towards greater physical and psychological wellbeing and - as a result - a healthier future. This innovative yet practical guide is invaluable for individuals living with diabetes, those supporting others with diabetes, and healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with diabetes"-- Provided by publisher.
"Diabetes and Wellbeing is a practical guide for those newly-diagnosed with diabetes, for individuals who have been managing the challenges of diabetes for many years, and the professionals who help those who deal with the complications of diabetes. This volume presents proven techniques for improving emotional wellbeing and is the first to take an explicitly CBT approach to diabetes. Positive Diabetes addresses the need for this kind of information among individuals with diabetes and healthcare providers"-- Provided by publisher.
