Talking T1D & Mental Health with an Endocrinologist

In this episode, we talk to Dr. Calvin Wu, an endocrinologist at Steady Health. Calvin is a big advocate for integrating mental health care into treatment for T1D. He recognizes the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach to medical care. He appreciates that diabetes is a highly personal disease that can touch or be touched by nearly every facet of life.

Endocrinologists play a significant part in helping you manage T1D, but often they never ask about the emotional burden of T1D. Calvin offers us some insights as to why mental health issues often are not addressed by endocrinologists, and gives us some great suggestions on how to get the support you need from your health care team.
