Difficult Psychosocial Challenges in Diabetes is part of a series of web-based programs designed to provide participants with a review of the latest research in behavioral diabetes on these topics and present a new model for understanding motivational issues in diabetes. Participants will learn how to identify the critical obstacles that contribute to problematic self-care and how to prioritize those obstacles as a plan for intervention is developed. Modules will also focus on the introduction and practice of brief interventions for addressing patient barriers, once again relying on a case-based approach towards acquiring the necessary confidence and skills. This activity is a 1-hour video presentation examining difficult psychosocial issues in diabetes, featuring William Polonsky, PhD, CDCES and Susan Guzman, PhD and is comprised of four parts: Worries and Concerns about Hypoglycemia Psychological Insulin Resistance Disordered Eating in Diabetes When Diabetes Meets Substance Abuse
