@RenzaS At @acbrd we don’t like the term “hard to reach” group, which is somewhat blaming of the group. Instead, we refer to “hardly reached groups” acknowledging that we need to do more to reach out

Just added this to my list of papers to read! For #psychologists (and other health professionals) supporting people with #Type1diabetes, the link between diabetes distress, attachment & mentalisation.

Imagine describing your life to a stranger, without specialist training, to get #NDIS funding. That's what people with #disability are describing with the new independent assessments. @drhdickinson @UNSWCanberra @PSResearchG explains https://t.co/dhbDaoXNUc via @ConversationEDU

“Language Matters for people with Type 2 diabetes India” has changed my life irrevocably... one of my focus group participants came back... told him how the hurt in his voice describing his experiences rings in my head...the way I speak to patients has changed forever...

The @ACBRD covering hot topics across their 11 #20ADC e-posters. Cheat sheet: Reducing psychological barriers to insulin (#70, #71), & supporting informed decision making (#12); Examining complications concerns and correlates among those with newly diagnosed w T2D (#86) (1/3)

[Dr Shikha M Gray @ShikhaGray]

Great dicussion at the #20adc about hybrid closed-loop (HCL) tech! @chendrieckx's highly pertinent message to HPs concerned about setting realistic expectations: first ask person w diabetes about their expectations & hopes, then have the conversation about what HCL can offer.

[Dr Shikha M Gray @ShikhaGray]

For more #20ADC presentations about psychological research in diabetes, check out @acbrd’s line up:

[Dr Shikha M Gray @ShikhaGray]
