I’ve written a few times about my thoughts on the role of psychologists in diabetes care. You can read about it here, and here. Or TL/DR: I believe that every person with diabetes should have access to a psychologist as part of all diabetes multidisciplinary care. Of course, not everyone will want to see a psychologist – and of course, that’s fine – but if they do, it should be easy, accessible and affordable to do so.

Right now, if you are an Australian adult living with diabetes, your input is needed into the development of a new information resource that will provide information on why, when and how to access a psychologist to support people with diabetes. You don’t need to have seen a psychologist before to participate. The resource will be produced by the NDSS, and the survey is being conducted by the ACBRD.

It won’t take you long, and if you participate, you will be reimbursed for your time. You can access all the details, including who to contact if you would like more information, by clicking on the image below.

Diabetes is always going to be about the mind as much as it is about the body, and that means we need to be supported by health professionals who understand that. Help to shape the information that might just get people starting to understand just how much #DiabetesPsychologyMatters.
