Psychosocial well-being and diabetes distress in the transition to motherhood among women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes
Psychological factors unique to postnatal women and a lack of healthcare professional support are significantly associated with diabetes distress. However, it is unclear whether lack of family support and self-care behaviours could contribute to increased diabetes distress. Interventions that target psychological factors and that involve healthcare professionals, may optimise diabetes self-management and infant care.
