???? Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and it's important to highlight the unique challenges faced by people living with diabetes. Managing blood glucose (sugar) daily can take a toll on mental well-being, leading to stress, anxiety, and even depression. It's okay to ask for support, prioritize self-care, and remember you’re not alone. Whether you're dealing with diabetes burnout or struggling to balance mental and physical health, reach out to loved ones, healthcare professionals, or support communities. Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. Let’s break the stigma and support each other! ???? #DEFA #Diabetes #HealthEquity #healthcare
