Being diagnosed with diabetes can affect the daily life of the affected person and their loved ones in many different ways. After the initial stage, some persons with diabetes may feel that, in order to cope, they will need some extra support in addition to the guidance provided by their treatment centre. Often, they also feel the need to share experiences with their peers or talk to professionals.
Much like in diabetes as a condition, there are different stages in life. The reserves of strength and ability to cope come to the fore, especially at such turbulent times. Sometimes, they can also trigger the need to focus on taking care of yourself and, thereby, the self-care of diabetes.
Organisations are important in terms of providing courses that support rehabilitation. The Finnish Diabetes Association organises diabetes courses for persons with diabetes of different ages and in different life situations as well as their loved ones. The Finnish Diabetes Association also provides a wide range of activities and events that support rehabilitation. The common courses of organisations meet the need for rehabilitation especially when complications related to diabetes or multiple diseases create challenges in daily life.
You can find suitable courses on the website of the Finnish Diabetes Association.
