A psychologist's view of diabetes care

摘要

As a psychologist, what drew you to work in the field of diabetes? Diabetes represents a huge burden, both in a public health and NHS context, but equally importantly in terms of the personal cost and challenges to optimal self-management. There is such a lot of work to do and I'm privileged to be able to work with healthcare professionals and people with diabetes to try and make a difference to improve the care provided and outcomes, particularly psychosocially, for people and families living with the condition.
