I think one of the most confusing parts about diabetes is that it is really many different conditions that have the same name. Even though there are many different causes, all types of diabetes result in abnormally high levels of sugar (also called glucose) in the blood. In this post, I’ll just cover the 2 most common forms – Type 1 and Type 2.
Living with diabetes has proven stressful during this COVID19 pandemic and as restrictions are lifted, new worries come to light causing more confusion, worry, and fear – making diabetes even harder to manage.
Diabetes burnout impacts everyone with diabetes at some point. Contrary to conventional wisdom, diabetes education isn’t the answer. It’s not your brain that needs help, its your spirit.
Diabetes numbers on the rise per CDC, lifestyle factors continue to be a factor, yet little support to deal with burnout or promote healthy self management.
We are in strange times and need support to cope with chaos created by the Corona Virus. What we took for granted yesterday, now seems uncertain and fear abounds.

I was recently honored to present at the Greater Dallas Chapter JDRF Type One Summit on the topic of diabetes burnout and stress.
