Try something you enjoy: gentle movement, learning something new or a moment to notice your surroundings.
If you are finding things difficult, talk with someone you trust or your healthcare team.

Questions about diabetes? Start a conversation about your risk, your care and the support that works for you.
Ask your GP or nurse about diabetes risk and whether a check is appropriate for you.
