Diabetes & Emotions

Living with type 2 diabetes can affect you emotionally as well as physically.

 

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for a while, it can take its toll on how you are feeling.

It is important to remember that you are not alone, and there are many other people around you who can be feeling the same way, and there is plenty of support out there to help.
