Diabetologist and Psychologist: How to harness each other's skills?
Diabetes Insights - Breakthroughs and InnovatorsShow Notes
In this episode, leading experts Maciej T. Małecki, Norbert Hermanns and Dominic Ehrmann explore the essential role of clinical psychology in diabetes care.
Living with diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, requires constant decision-making and places a significant psychological burden on individuals and their families. From diabetes distress and depression to fear of hypoglycaemia, mental health challenges can directly impact glycaemic control and quality of life.
This discussion highlights why clinical psychologists must be integrated into multidisciplinary diabetes teams, the need for specialised “diabetes psychologists,” and how education, guidelines and policy change can help address current gaps in care.
