Coaching for the mental and emotional side of T1D
Make sure your sound is turned on · 12 min
We teach adults with type 1 diabetes the skills to keep fear, worry, and burnout from running their lives.
Founded by Dr. Mark Heyman, a diabetes psychologist who’s lived with T1D since 1999.
You already know how to manage T1D. Now it’s time to deal with the mental weight that comes with it.
Freedom and flexibility with T1D don’t come from having more discipline. They come from building skills you can learn and practice. Here’s how we build them, in five steps.
A roadmap for what to work on and how you’ll measure progress.
A private session with your coach to pick the situations you want to handle differently and set clear goals.
A steadier foundation for diabetes decisions.
Monthly sessions with a T1D nurse educator and dietitian to answer your questions and sort out what to bring to your healthcare team.
A repeatable way to handle fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm.
Find your why, sit with discomfort, rewrite the stories keeping you stuck, lead with action, and lean on your community.
Real evidence you can handle more than fear tells you.
Weekly coaching as you practice what matters to you: exercising, eating out, traveling, sleeping without checking all night.
Trust in yourself, and a plan to keep going.
Keep the tools that work for you, and know what to do when T1D gets stressful again.
“I was nervous about flying with my Omnipod. I used what I learned in the program and told myself, ‘I’m uncomfortable, and it’s okay to be uncomfortable. Let’s see what happens.’ By the next flight, it wasn’t a big deal anymore. Now I can push further and see what else I can do.”

“I’m not panicking anymore. I’m still uncomfortable, but I’m more confident that I can handle a low. It’s just a short period of time, and then it will go back up and pass.”
LouiseT1D for 14 years
“I felt trapped. I didn’t know what to do or how to do it, and it really got me down. The program helped me see that I have choices, options, and skills I can use to think differently. That helped me feel free.”
LisaT1D for 7 months
“I recognized the signs of diabetes burnout sneaking up on me. I knew I couldn’t get through it on my own. I don’t feel that overwhelmed and hopeless anymore. I’m much more comfortable being who I am and doing what I do.”

Both options are built on the LiveFree with T1D Operating System, the approach we’ve used with 400+ adults with T1D.
For adults ready to stop letting fear, worry, and burnout make their decisions. You’ll work on the situations that matter most to you, practice new skills in your everyday life, and get support from coaches who live with T1D.
What’s included
Some people would rather work one-on-one, on the situations that are hardest for them: nighttime lows, exercise, travel, burnout. 1:1 coaching gives you individual sessions with a LiveFree coach.
It uses the same LiveFree with T1D Operating System as the Accelerator, built around you instead of a group.
You also get the monthly sessions with our T1D nurse educator and dietitian.
“My pump failed the day before I was leaving on a trip. It took about two hours to get everything working again, but I stayed calm and just rolled with it. Even my husband has noticed that I don’t get as upset or frustrated anymore.”
