LiveFree with T1D Mark Heyman

Over the past 25 years with T1D, I've learned a lot about myself and what it means to face challenges in my life.

Here are just a few of the things I've learned:


T1D is hard, showing me I can do hard things.
Balancing quality of life with maintaining 'good' blood sugars is crucial.
There are lots of things about T1D that I cannot control.

I give you the full rundown of the past 25 years with T1D this week on the podcast.

On this episode, I tell the story of my diagnosis with T1D, and how this led to me becoming a diabetes psychologist. I also reflect back on the past 25 years and give you my 3 biggest takeaways about how to live a full life, even with T1D along for the ride.

We all have thoughts about T1D that are not (completely) accurate, and they are certainly not helpful.

What can you do with these thoughts, and how can you make them more realistic?

That’s exactly what we’re talking about this week on the podcast.

On this episode, I discuss how negative thoughts about T1D come about, and how you can identify them. Then, I'll show you a framework you can use to reframe these negative thoughts to make them more empowering.

On this episode​​​​​​​​, I talk to Ceri about his journey with T1D over the past year. He talks about how his diagnosis last summer rocked his world and what he did to arrive where he is now—a place of freedom where he can live his life on his terms, and not on diabetes' terms.
