T1D one-on-one
coaching program
Welcome to the T1D (type 1 diabetes) Coaching Program, your one-of-a-kind program that will transform your life with T1D!
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Do you feel like there is so much to think about when you are living with T1D, or that nobody gets what living with T1D really means? While working closely with your T1D health coach, you will work through learning modules that address your unique needs to help you shift your mindset, conquer your challenges, and create strategies to achieve your goals.
This is a 6-month program offered at no cost to our patients at LMC Healthcare.
One-on-one coaching
Our coaches take the time to understand you and your T1D. They will provide you with judgement-free, personalized guidance and support to help you overcome challenges, achieve your health goals, and build confidence in yourself.
Holistic Approach
Living with T1D can often feel like a juggling act, with daily stressors like exercise, nutrition, mental health, work, and relationships all having an impact on managing diabetes. In our coaching program, we dive into the nuances of everyday life, uncovering strategies to effectively handle these challenges.
Sustainable Tools & Resources
Do you feel like you may need more support or a different approach towards your T1D? The education, tips, tools and resources for this program are backed by evidence-based research and were created by people who get what it’s really like to live with T1D. They will help you better understand how to manage your T1D day-to-day, and avoid becoming burnt out and overwhelmed.
Expert Support & Accountability
Our coaches all have extensive professional training and experience in Type 1 Diabetes management. Their aim is to empower you to take control of your health and diabetes, while providing compassion and support. Our coaches will journey with you every step of the way.
