We are doing school work on diabetes mellitus and we would like to know, from a point of view outside work, the socio-psychological effects that have taken place in you.
Thanks for the help you can provide.
Sincerely
David, Pere and Eric.

If you click on the right index, it extends more information.

In case you do not know them, Gemma Peralta and Daniel Figuerola are the best thing there is (almost the only thing).

The most important thing is the change of mentality: "You have to take care of yourself" ... historically one goes to the doctor to take care of or tell him what he has to do ... in diabetes this is not worth it, the patient himselfHe is the one who decides several times a day, every day of the year, for many years.
Psicolokos call it control locus, basic to understand patients with diabetes.

Some time ago I wrote something like this:
The particular characteristics of diabetes: chronicity and
daily responsibility (with routine or relaxation effects
in care), active role in self -care, incurability,
genetic conditioning, absence of negative consequences
immediate and silent course, risk of complications,
annoying practices (self -analysis and injections) and invitations
Social constants to the breakdown of the treatment are responsible for the psychological readjustment that the patient and their sociofamily environment must do.
