Health Advisory: Understanding Burnout

Burnout is more than simply feeling tired. Prolonged, unmanaged stress can leave you emotionally, mentally and physically drained and it can affect anyone.

Know the signs: persistent exhaustion, difficulty managing responsibilities, feeling detached or overwhelmed, poor concentration, irritability, headaches, muscle tension and disrupted sleep.

Take steps to protect your well-being: set healthy boundaries, take regular breaks, prioritize rest, ask for help, delegate when possible and make realistic changes to reduce what is draining you.

Remember: Burnout is not a personal weakness. Recognizing it is the first step toward getting the support you need.

Visit your nearest Health Centre for more information.

Kids hypo

– A hypo can happen quickly. Would you know what to look for? For children living with diabetes, recognising the signs of hypoglycaemia (“hypo”) and knowing what to do can make all the difference.

Our Kids and Diabetes in Schools (KiDS) programme helps children, teachers and families better understand diabetes, recognise important signs such as hypoglycaemia, and build greater awareness and confidence in supporting children with diabetes.

📚 Check out the KiDS Resources: https://kids.idf.org/resources/
