Addressing mental health issues, particularly depression and anxiety, through screening and intervention improves glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
If you are struggling with depression or anxiety, talk to your healthcare provider. Treating mental health issues can help you manage your diabetes better and improve your blood sugar levels. Pharmacists can help screen for these issues and refer you to appropriate resources.
