You've no-doubt had a period of time in your life where your health was the first thing you thought of when you woke up, and the last thing on your mind before bed. Perhaps you had a virus, a severe injury, or even a serious disease like cancer, and your health suddenly dominated your life. For diabetics, this is a lifelong struggle - both physically and mentally. On this week's podcast we meet Dr Mark, a psychologist who helps people find peace and balance despite the imposition caused by long-term health challenges on their lives.

Listen and learn:

• How diabetics have to make up to 180 decisions a day
• How diabetes can lead to relationship stress
• The highs and lows people experience throughout the day
• The financial worries and health insurance insecurities associated with long-term conditions like diabetes
• How people living with diabetes can find balance in their lives
