## Resource

The EASD’s first clinical practice guideline on the assessment and management of diabetes distress in adults living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes has now been published in Diabetologia. Drawing on two years of multidisciplinary work, the guideline was developed by clinicians, methodologists, psychologists and people with lived experience. Prof. Jane Speight, Prof. Richard Holt and patient-advocate Michelle Law describe what diabetes distress is (the emotional burden tied to daily self-management) and why routine assessment and supportive care must become part of standard practice. The conversation explores the definition of diabetes distress, evidence gaps, assessment tools, psychological interventions and how healthcare systems can better support people living with diabetes. The guideline was developed using internationally recognised standards, with people with lived experience involved throughout the process.
