<p>The Government recognises the impact of diabetes on mental health and will further develop this work as part of the major Conditions Strategy announced by the Secretary of State on 24 January.</p><p>Since 2019, NHS England has funded two pilots in London and in Wessex to further develop the evidence base around how best to manage people with diabetes. Research showed a higher rate of eating and psychiatric disorder in people with type 1 diabetes patients. The National Health Service national diabetes programme commissioned MyType1 Diabetes. This platform is for type 1 diabetes patients and available nationwide. Healthy Living, a self-management online support programme was also commissioned for adults with type 2 diabetes. The platforms provide users with the skills and knowledge to manage their diabetes effectively, and offers information on treatments, advice on emotional and mental wellbeing, helping users adopt and maintain healthy behaviours around diet and exercise.</p>
