Diabetes

Diabetes is a long-term condition which affects over 5 million people in the UK. Living with diabetes means making long-terms changes to how you live your life, often with the need for additional medication.

Whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes or your doctor has talked about a need to prevent diabetes, I can support you. If you are a parent or relative it can also be challenging in understanding how best to support your loved one.

There can be challenges across all stages of having diabetes from:

• Diagnosis and coming to terms with the condition

• Managing treatment and lifestyle changes

• Adapting to changes in how you live your social and work life

• Knowing how best to communicate with your healthcare team or getting the right kind of support

Living with diabetes can be challenging and also can mean you have to manage this alongside other emotional issues that might be happening. If this sounds like you then I can provide expertise across all aspects of condition adjustment and management.
