The EASD's First Clinical Guideline: Assessment and Management of Diabetes Distress

Now published in Diabetologia

The EASD's first clinical practice guideline has now been published, focusing on the assessment and management of diabetes distress in adults living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Watch the full conversation on YouTube to learn about the very first EASD evidence-based clinical practice guideline for assessing and managing diabetes distress among adults with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes and how it marks a major shift toward recognising the emotional and psychological burden of living with diabetes. Drawing on two years of multidisciplinary work, the guideline was jointly developed by clinicians, methodologists, psychologists and people with lived experience.

Hear how the panel explains the definition of diabetes distress, the evidence gaps, the role of assessment tools, psychological interventions, and how healthcare systems can better support people living with diabetes.
