Blood sugar isn't the main burden on diabetics
A study from King Saud University revealed that the psychological and emotional burden experienced by patients with type 2 diabetes is among the biggest challenges they face. Feelings of fear, anxiety, and catastrophic thinking significantly impact their quality of life and their control over the disease, even when blood sugar test results are normal. The findings also showed that patients experiencing severe psychological distress were five times more likely to develop complications. Additionally, education level plays a role in reducing this psychological burden. The study recommends including mental health assessments as part of the routine care for diabetic patients to improve quality of life and reduce complications.
