Understanding Diabetes Distress: Impact on Patient Care and Outcomes

This episode will explore the often-overlooked intersection of mental health and diabetes management, focusing specifically on diabetes distress.

While not classified as a mental health disorder, diabetes distress affects up to two-thirds of people with diabetes and significantly impacts treatment adherence, outcomes, and quality of life.

Join our expert guests—Dr. Denise Levy, Supervising Physician of Hyperbaric Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center, and Dr. Gary Rothenberg, Medical Director of Podimetrics—as they discuss how all members of the care team have a role in addressing this issue, and how technology solutions like remote monitoring can help reduce patient burden and improve engagement.
