What can I do about my diabetes?
Start by finding out about reliable sources of information and support.

Most people know someone with diabetes, but it doesn’t mean they know what’s best for you to do, or anything about your mental illness.

Good mental health and controlling the symptoms of mental illness are especially important when learning to manage diabetes.
A good doctor will look after your overall health, monitor your medication, and keep in contact with your mental health team as necessary. Making a longer appointment time helps build a relationship with your doctor, by giving you a chance to talk in more detail about your health and how you feel. It often helps to write down your questions or take a friend, support worker or family member to the appointment with you, to help you remember what to ask and what the doctor said.
