Big thank you to everyone who liked, shared and completed my questionnaire over the past few months. I’ve finished collecting data now and I’ll let you all know the outcome 🤞🏼 hopefully we find possible ways to help lower the emotional impact of diabetes #T1D #T2D #diabete

This pic got me thinking. In a time of increasing hardship and economic pressure there is increased burden on people living with diabetes! I’m interested in hearing about this burden please click here 👉🏼 https://t.co/VG7TTgAOfn

Great talk on #diabeteschat I would encourage everyone to check it out! Really informative 👌🏼💙

This week on the #diabeteschat we talked about diabetes stigma's with lots of people from all around the world and heard their powerful voices. 🌍🗣️ Check out some of the discussions in the visuals below.💙

The world is a scary place at the moment. To everyone affected my thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏🏼💛💙 #Heartbreaking #Ukraine #PrayForUkraine

[Simon Coveney @simoncoveney]

Our thoughts & prayers are with the innocent people of Ukraine, as families wake up to shocking Russian attacks. Russian leaders are lying to their own people to justify this illegal aggression.
We utterly condemn Russia for this act of unjustifiable war in the heart of Europe.

Great chat on the difficulty of living with #diabetes each time I listen into these chats I’m always left amazed at the level of resilience shown by people living with diabetes #T1D #T2D #diabeteschat https://t.co/zDIvPEmRuY

Although diabetes demands so much from us everyday… just remember! You are so much more and diabetes does not define you 💪🏼 you are strong, you are amazing, you are cared for 🤍 #diabetes #T1D #T2D #mondaythoughts

Has diabetes ever left you feeling invisible? I can certainly relate to some of these statements 😔 https://t.co/VG7TTgAOfn ��🏼 I’m doing research looking at the psychological impact of diabetes and would love to hear your experience! #diabetes #T1D #T2D #chronicillness

[Rachel Flynn @RachelFlynnPsy]

@DominicNutt Hi Dominic, thanks for your interest in my survey. I’m sorry it doesn’t include alternative therapies such as pump therapy. To keep the validity I had to use certain measures and unfortunately these cannot capture all areas. I appreciate your feedback though 😊

[Rachel Flynn @RachelFlynnPsy]

Can you relate to this? Perfectionism levels tend to be high among the diabetes community and often leading to harsh self-criticism! Tell me about it 👉🏼 https://t.co/VG7TTgAOfn #diabetes #Type1Diabetes #type2diabetes #T1D #T2D

I’m interested in how your diabetes impacts your mental health. Share your experience here 👉🏼 https://t.co/VG7TTgAOfn #mentalhealth #health

“It’s only diabetes… it could be worse!” 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have you ever had someone minimise what life is like living with diabetes? Often people don’t realise how it impacts on every aspect of life and is a chronic illness. #chronicillness #diabetes #type1diabetes #T2D #T1D

@imnowtweeting Thank you for taking the time to do the survey. Really appreciate it 😊

[Rachel Flynn @RachelFlynnPsy]

The hidden side to diabetes - anxiety and depression are too common. There needs to be better support for people with diabetes! #diabetes #DiabetesDiscoveries #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #anxiety #depression

[Rachel Flynn @RachelFlynnPsy]

So much resilience needed when living with diabetes 💉💪🏼 #Diabetes #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #resilience

[Rachel Flynn @RachelFlynnPsy]

A week into diabetes month and I am in awe of some of the experiences I have heard. The strength & resilience it takes to live with diabetes is truly evident & I would love to represent some of you in my research. Just click the link below

@foxinhisden Hi Micheál, thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. You should be able to select options in between but they are not labelled to best describe where you are at between almost always to almost never. Hope this help, thanks 😊

[Rachel Flynn @RachelFlynnPsy]

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your diabetes? Have you ever felt like it is outside of your control?

If so I would love to hear from you by completing this survey…
