We see diabetes as more than a physical condition
The Diabetes + Mental Health Conference is a virtual event focused on the intersection of diabetes management and mental health.
This event brings together a cross-section of patients living with all types of diabetes, caregivers, medical professionals working with PWDs, and mental health professionals.
Why Attend?
This two-day event will highlight ways in which living with diabetes affects mental health. There will be 2 tracks - one for patients and one for caregivers and providers.
