Abstract
People with diabetes manage their condition 24 hours a day, seven days a week and only about 2% of decisions are made in consultation with a health care professional. Many factors impact on a person's ability to manage their diabetes, and consequently on their mental health and wellbeing. These include everyday life pressures: work, celebrations, holidays and major life events, such as loss of a loved one or a job. Diabetes‐specific stresses include diabetes distress and burnout, fear of hypos and complications, eating disorders and denial, with an increased risk of anxiety and depression. Some people have pre‐existing mental health conditions which lead directly to development of diabetes and add to the challenge of glycaemic management.
