A Good Life Learning ways to cope with diabetes This online
interactive programme was designed to help people with diabetes
to cope with mood problems, negative emotions and everyday
stresses that affect behaviour. The programme has eight modules
introducing ideas and suggestions on ways to think more
positively and to develop ways of coping. The modules explore
how to relax and control negative thoughts, to focus on
enjoyable activities now and in the future, and to deal with
worries. Learning skills to become more assertive and
communicate more effectively with others is also helpful in
avoiding gloominess and accepting daily events without
descending into depression. One week is allowed for each module,
so there is plenty of time to think about the suggestions and
put them into practice. Alongside the reading and video stories
illustrating the ideas, homework exercises are required, which
always include keeping a diary of mood throughout the whole
programme. - Provides a solid, long-term resource for impro
