🎉 We are thrilled to announce our Coping with Diabetes tool for 10 to 14 year olds in collaboration with our wonderful partners @JDRFUK 🎉

The Coping with Diabetes button on the #DigiBeteApp is a new emotional support tool for those living with type 1 diabetes. Co-designed with young people and psychologists across the UK this new tool supports mental health and wellbeing.

Behind the button you will find young people talking about their real life with #type1diabetes as well as resources and interactive activities designed by psychologists to explain how our emotional systems work to help young people aged 10-14 build resilience and self-esteem.

A huge thank you to the wonderful families, psychologists and to our fantastic partners JDRF 💙

We’ve also added some top tips in the comments for any support you might need in accessing the DigiBete app.

Also this, if you don't have specialist psychology embedded in your diabetes clinicn then you are doing it wrong
