GIST (Key Takeaways)
This Review summarises the research into five common mental health problems that can affect adults living with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or gestational diabetes: fear of hypoglycaemia, diabetes distress, depression, disordered eating, and sleep disorders.
Mental health problems are common among adults with diabetes and can substantially decrease the quality of life and self-care, and increase the risk of adverse health outcomes, such as high HbA1c, comorbidities, and premature mortality.
