Season 13 - Episode 1: Psychosomatics of Diabetes Type 1 | EVETTE ROSE
While the exact cause of type 1 diabetes is not yet known, some studies have suggested that psychological factors may play a role. It has been observed that psychological stress can increase levels of inflammation in the body, which in turn, can lead to hormonal changes within the pancreas and, subsequently, insulin resistance. Additionally, it has been theorized that negative thinking patterns may also be involved as they can put increased strain on the body’s metabolic systems, which could contribute to diabetes type 1. In order to address these psychosomatic aspects associated with type 1 diabetes, it is important to take steps toward improving emotional well-being through lifestyle changes and psychotherapy. Additionally, engaging in activities such as mindfulness or yoga may help reduce stress hormones and reduce symptoms over time.
