Depression is twice as common in people with diabetes as in the general population.1 Yet, in the busy setting of the diabetes clinic, discussions about the emotional impact of a chronic condition that requires 24-hour self-management can often be overlooked. Further, diabetes professionals may feel at a loss to know how to intervene in the psychological aspect of their patient's care, particularly as there is a lack of clear referral pathways for psychological services in many areas of the UK.
