So he's had a week too. And now he's asking you 2 questions.\nIn 2008, Fisher, Polonsky, and colleagues took a 17-question diabetes distress scale and boiled it down to 2 questions that work as a real screening tool. Neil reads both on the show so you can rate yourself, 1 to 6, right now in your car. Then the community poll: those 2 questions, one for each of the 7 sources of distress, and 2 of Neil's own. Do you have one person who gets it? And what's the sentence you wish somebody had said to you when you were diagnosed?\nIn this episode:\nThe 2-question diabetes distress screen from the 2008 Annals of Family Medicine study\nWhat a 3 or higher means, and why your doctor should keep asking\nThe community poll, and what Neil will do with your answers\nThe sentence you needed at diagnosis, and why somebody listening needs it today\nFor anybody who answers \"no\" on the person question\nThis week's challenge: Still one real comment on one person's post, and you've got till Sunday night. Then take the poll. It's in the newsletter and in Neil's Instagram stories.\nHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nConnect with Neil:\nTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes\nInstagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse\nLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912\nWebsite: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nBooks on Amazon:\nType 1 Diabetes // One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ\nType 1 Diabetes // True Stories: https://a.co/d/dfIlyI1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o0hXmJTfrsbPYfZKHjLJRs1Dx7iBMJisKDJZnYXjscs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzFh/MDhmY2QwMjcwZTcx/NWRkZTBjNTk5YzUz/YjY2MS5QTkc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
