Reframe Diabetes

The 2023 Diabetes Mental Health Conference () speaker lineup is officially here, and it is🔥🔥🔥!

While the conference is in its second year, this is the first and only conference to focus entirely on the intersection of diabetes and mental health. We won’t be discussing diet plans or the math of carb counting. Instead, licensed mental health professionals will cover topics related to the psychological and emotional realities of life with diabetes. Diabetes is more than a physical condition.

Join us virtually on May 5th & 6th! Early bird tickets are still on sale at $35 for general admission and $75 for providers seeking CEU credit.

It is *okay* if you need to break up with your endocrinologist or therapist. At the end of the day, you are the one living with diabetes, and if your diabetes goals and needs are not being met, this is your permission to find an endocrinologist or therapist who will work with you to meet those goals and needs. The most important thing is that you find a provider you are comfortable with and one you can trust in!

Some red flags to be aware of:

- Your provider pushes their own agenda
- Your provider isn't receptive to your concerns
- You do not feel comfortable with your provider
- Your provider does not carry a holistic view of diabetes
- Your provider takes a condescending or judgmental approach

If you've said "yes" to any of these, it might be time to find another provider. If you don't know where to start, check out some of the latest blog posts on how to find an endocrinologist or therapist that best serves you. It's not always easy finding a provider, and if that's you, there are some tips on how to build and improve the relationship with your current provider.

All in all, remember this: it's your health, and the most important thing is that you find a provider that you can confide and trust in - one that makes YOU feel comfortable and one that keeps YOUR goals and needs in mind. You do not have to feel ashamed for speaking up. You do not have to feel ashamed for leaving your current provider. You do not have to feel ashamed for advocating for yourself, your health, or your needs.

It's self-advocacy at its finest, and that's something to be proud of!
