Diabetics Need More Than Medicine

Diabetics Need More Than MedicineA recent survey by Novo Nordisk highlights the need for a holistic approach to diabetes. The survey found that diabetics need more than medicine and that many physicians understand this as well.

Diabetes 360 — a Novo Nordisk-sponsored survey conducted nationwide of 1,200 patients with diabetes and ~500 healthcare professionals (HCPs) — analyzed the concerns and key needs of both patients and HCPs. Importantly, the survey draws attention to the need for more robust health coverage and resources to account for the emotional and wellness needs of patients. People living with diabetes need tailored resources to lead more productive and fulfilling lives — and collaborative care is needed across the diabetes community to help improve disease and lifestyle management.

Among the top findings1:

  • A little more than half (56%) of HCPs surveyed asked their patients how diabetes impacted their personal lives.
  • Nearly half (45%) of HCPs surveyed say that their success in caring for people with diabetes depends largely on their ability to understand and manage the emotional issues their patients face.
  • 42% of patients surveyed say they feel guilty or anxious when they get off track with their diabetes management.
  • 32% of patients surveyed say that they feel overwhelmed by their diabetes.
  • 30% of patients surveyed believe that diabetes is taking up too much of their mental and physical energy every day.
