Diabetes Burnout: Causes and What to Do

Take a break & Do things differently

A vacation from the office can help cure work-related burnout. As well as a short, safe vacation from the things you do to control diabetes, may also help feel less burn out.

Talk with your healthcare team about how to safely take a few days off to help restore your energy. This might mean taking a break from exercise, or checking your glucose levels slightly less often for 1 to 2 days.

Trying new ways to manage your diabetes can be a helpful way to feel re-inspired to alleviate burnout.

Experts suggest trying new diabetes-friendly recipes if your go-to meals have you stuck in a rut.

Another idea is to switch up your exercise routine by walking different routes, signing up for online or in-person fitness classes, or rediscovering your favorite childhood sport.
