What's New in October 2025
BDI’s New Diabetes Distress Infographic
We have had requests for an infographic on Diabetes Distress (DD). We hope that people will find it useful for understanding what DD is, how common it is, why it is important and how to assess for DD. We hope more people with diabetes will be asked how they are doing as part of routine clinical care and more healthcare professionals will feel confident and willing to be helpful in addressing DD.
