Diabetes & Me

This service is for people registered with a Walsall GP who have a diagnosis of diabetes

Many people feel that diabetes can affect their day-to-day life and has an impact on how they feel physically and emotionally. For some, this can result in feelings of worry and low mood which can stop you from managing your diabetes effectively.

Reducing worry and improving mood can make it easier to manage your diabetes. The better your diabetes is managed, the better your mood will be too.

Talking Therapy is a type of treatment that involves talking to a therapist about your thoughts and feelings. They will be able to give you tools and techniques which will help to improve your mood and will help to reduce worry. This in turn will help you to manage your diabetes.

you decide that Talking Therapies is for you, please contact us via the details provided above. Remember to let the staff know that you have a diagnosis of diabetes. The staff member will arrange for you to receive a telephone call which will take around 20-30 minutes. This will enable us to provide information about what we offer and to ensure that our service is suitable for you. We will signpost you to other services if it is found that we can not meet your needs.
