LIVING WELL WITH DIABETES – The Emotional Impact of Diabetes and How to Rebuild Strength

  • Practical tips to manage hypoglycemia fear, boost motivation, and navigate daily life with diabetes more easily.

Finally: Positive psychology for diabetics!

Diabetes is a common condition that affects many people. The disease has a far greater impact on mental health than previously thought.

Eva Gerhartsreiter, a diabetes psychologist, offers encouragement to patients and their families in her practice. She shows how life with the disease can be positively shaped. In this accessible guide, she addresses topics such as diabetes acceptance, its impact on relationships, and practical tips for everyday life. How can you deal with the fear of hypoglycemia? How do you stay motivated?
Lifestyle behaviors for health are also influenced by emotional states. When feeling good, it is easier to eat healthily than when feeling down. A busy schedule can lead to postponing doctor’s appointments and neglecting blood sugar checks, while a well-structured day can make a difference. The author provides readers with concise, easy-to-understand advice for a positive outlook on the condition.
