We know that the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic may make things feel a little scary for you and your family. In many ways, your experience of managing diabetes on a daily basis and the stresses it brings may make you more prepared to cope with this situation than most people. 

But if you feel like you’re in a constant state of worry, please know that our Divabetic community is there to support you, and that there are plenty of wonderful, trusted resources to turn to for advice.

When Diabetes Hits Home: The Whole Family’s Guide to Emotional Health by Dr. Wendy Satin Rapaport LCSW, PsyD aka ‘The Diabetes Psyche’ is for anyone who lives with and/or knows someone with diabetes.

“I address the challenge facing people with diabetes, both those who are newly diagnosed and those who have lived with diabetes for many years, as well as strategies for the management of diabetes through actions and attitudes for everyone involved,” says Dr. Wendy Satin Rapaport.

“Dr. Rapaport hits a lot of familiar chords, and knows her subject inside and out. She is not patronizing, and her style is clear and easy to follow. I found that I was able to apply her method of positive reframing not only to my diabetes related situations, but to my every day life situations as well. Thanks to her for giving me an improved way to deal.” – Amazon review
