Episode 63: Beyond Blood Sugar: The Mental Toll of Diabetes

Shanna and Nimeet dive into a conversation about the mental toll managing diabetes can have on a person. In this episode, our hosts are joined by Laura Previte, RN, diabetes nurse educator with Adventist HealthCare, and Mary Lynn Price, LCSW-C, social worker with the Outpatient Wellness Clinic (https://www.adventisthealthcare.com/locations/profile/shady-grove-medical-center-outpatient-mental-health/) at Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center (https://www.adventisthealthcare.com/locations/profile/shady-grove-medical-center/) . Together they cover how a person can minimize some of the mental burden that can come with a diabetes diagnosis and management while providing resources for patients and caregivers - both with Adventist HealthCare and external resources.
