The Emotional Side of Diabetes
UPMC Expert:
Ashima Mittal, M.D.
Endocrinology, UPMC
Diabetes is a common category of disease that affects millions of people across the globe. Yet, many may not realize that there are two different forms of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. The diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes can be a surprise and in addition to all the emotions that it stirs up, it often comes with the recommendation for lifestyle changes to prevent negative effects of the disease on your health.
Many patients are shocked to hear they have diabetes. They may not have the traditional symptoms, or there may not be anyone else in their family who has the condition. Denial is a common reaction, but unfortunately, it delays you in making recommended changes to improve your health. Sitting down with your primary care provider or a certified diabetes educator (CDE) to see how your blood sugar levels relate to established guidelines is a good starting point for understanding and accepting your diagnosis.
