Blood sugar control has traditionally been seen as a key bridge to longevity in a vast picture of diabetes management. Little is known, however, that psychological factors also play a significant role in the long journey of diabetes patients. Diabetes often carry a heavy psychological burden, which stems from deep anxiety about the disease, anxiety about treatment programmes and the daily suffering caused by the disease. Long-term psychological stress not only erodes their emotional world, but can also become a stumbling block for blood sugar control, thus threatening the overall health and life span of diabetes patients. In order to respond effectively to these diabetes-related psychological pressures, diabetes patients need to confront the problem first and foremost. The following are practical stress reduction strategies: 2. Seeking support: Joining the group of mutual help for diabetes patients, sharing experiences and challenges with patients, and obtaining emotional comfort and practical advice. 3. Professional guidance: When it is difficult for individuals to manage stress effectively, they should seek professional assistance from mental health specialists, such as psychologists or clinical psychologists, in a timely manner. 4. Relaxation techniques: The acquisition and application of relaxing techniques such as deep breath, meditation and yoga help to reduce stress and anxiety. Psychological intervention has been scientifically proven to have a significant positive impact on diabetes patients. A healthy mental state increases the patient ‘ s dependence on treatment, optimizes blood sugar control and reduces the risk of complications, thus achieving a longer life expectancy for diabetes patients.
To further improve mental health, the following are practical recommendations: Set a reasonable goal: set for yourself realistic targets for diabetes management and celebrate every small advance and achievement. Maintaining social cohesion: actively participating in social activities, maintaining close ties with family and friends, and avoiding isolation and isolation. Healthy living: the maintenance of a balanced diet, adequate exercise and adequate sleep are all contributions to mental health.
In the light of the above, the long life path of diabetes patients is not dependent solely on the precision and stability of blood sugar control, and the positive effects of psychological factors cannot be ignored. By actively responding to psychological stress and working to improve mental health, diabetes patients can significantly improve their quality of life and enjoy a healthier and longer life journey. Let us all focus on and commit ourselves to the mental health of people living with diabetes and join together on the path to a long life.
