Activity Overview 

All patients with diabetes are encouraged to follow a carb-conscious diet, engage in moderate-intensity exercise regularly, take prescribed medications, and consistently monitor their blood sugars to prevent long-term complications. Despite significant advances in technology and medications in recent years, the emotional toll of diabetes self-management has not seen comparable improvement. The relentless stress associated with managing diabetes, including high costs and social stigma, can be overwhelming for patients. This distress is difficult for patients to avoid and challenging for providers to predict. This webinar will delve into the impact of diabetes distress on patients from both the pharmacist's and caregiver's perspectives. The session will review comprehensive, evidence-based, and patient-centered approaches to identifying and managing diabetes distress.
