Body, heart and mind

You’re learning new skills to manage your diabetes, and that’s a big change. Change can be difficult, no matter how positive it is, so nurturing your mental health is a part of the program, too.  

Reward yourself when you reach a goal and give yourself a break when you don’t: habits like these are now as important as checking your glucose level.  By loving yourself, you can find the motivation to keep making progress.

Mental Health Visits:

The Care Circle program includes four visits with a mental health professional, but you may schedule them more often if you and your team find it helpful. These visits are currently online, as are meetings of our type 2 diabetes support group that’s also available to you.

Ask for Help: 

Care Circle was built because you shouldn’t have to make such big changes alone, so if you’re struggling, call your health education specialist:
