Living with Type 2 diabetes presents distinctive challenges for women as they face the complexities of self-care, time management, and emotional well-being. Effective diabetes management necessitates a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of these elements. This Research Topic aims to delve into the intersections among diabetes self-care and time management, as well as diabetes-related distress among women with Type 2 diabetes. Our objective is to enhance interventions and support systems tailored to their specific requirements.
We welcome original research, reviews, and qualitative studies that investigate the intricate relationship between self-care behaviors, such as medication adherence, dietary choices, physical activity, glucose monitoring, and daily stressors stemming from disease-related responsibilities across the life course. We encourage inquiries into how time management strategies influence diabetes self-care and the potential obstacles and facilitators that affect women's ability to allocate time for diabetes-related activities amid their various roles and commitments.
Furthermore, this Research Topic aims to illuminate the psychosocial and emotional facets of living with Type 2 diabetes. We invite contributions that explore the connection between diabetes distress, mental health, social support and other resilience factors, and overall diabetes management among women. Understanding the contributing factors to distress, such as concerns about complications, treatment and comorbidity burdens, stigma, and psychosocial stress, can inform the development of targeted interventions and support mechanisms.
By comprehensively understanding the intersections between diabetes self-care, time management, and distress, we can empower women with Type 2 diabetes to optimize their health outcomes and enhance their overall well-being. Moreover, this knowledge will assist healthcare professionals in tailoring patient-centered care, delivering effective counseling, and implementing interventions that address the unique challenges faced by women in managing their diabetes.
