Your diabetes distress score is a tool, not a judgment. Here's how to use it constructively. Neil explores the research, shares practical insights, and provides tools for managing the mental load of T1D.

What You'll Learn

Score interpretation - What low, moderate, and high distress scores actually mean
Tools vs judgments - How to use your score as information, not self-criticism
Self-comparison - Why comparing only to yourself matters
Actionable insights - How to identify which questions hit you hardest

Key Takeaways
Your score isn't a grade. Distress scores are flashlights to show where pressure points are, not hammers to beat yourself up with.

Compare to yourself only. Your distress journey is unique - focus on your own patterns and progress.
