About Us
Who We Help
We help adults with type 1 diabetes live with freedom and confidence by giving them practical skills to keep fear, worry, and overwhelm from calling the shots in their lives.
Most people with T1D have a plan to manage their blood sugar. But no one has ever given them a plan to manage the stress of living with diabetes every day.
The fear of low blood sugar. The exhaustion of constant vigilance and decision making. The feeling that diabetes has made their world smaller.
So they travel less, turn down plans, or struggle to be fully present with the people they love.
They want to care for their diabetes and get more of their lives back.
What We Do
LiveFree with T1D provides coaching for the mental and emotional side of type 1 diabetes.
Our signature program, the LiveFree with T1D Accelerator, is a 10-week small-group experience.
We help you identify what is keeping you stuck, build a personalized strategy, and practice new ways of responding to fear, worry, and burnout in your everyday life.
The work is based on the LiveFree with T1D Operating System, a framework developed by Dr. Mark Heyman. Through coaching, practical exercises, and community support, we help you use it when T1D gets hard.

Dr. Mark's Story
Mark Heyman, PhD, CDCES
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1999, when I was 21 years old. I learned quickly that managing diabetes involves more than knowing what a number means or calculating an insulin dose.
It also means making decisions when you are scared. Living with uncertainty. Carrying on with your day after a difficult low or an unexpected high. Figuring out how to give diabetes the attention it needs without letting it take over everything else.
As a psychologist, I have spent my career helping people with type 1 diabetes navigate those challenges.
I kept seeing the same gap: people were given tools for managing their blood sugar, but far less support for managing the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that shape their daily lives.
Mark Heyman, PhD, CDCES
That is why I developed the LiveFree with T1D Operating System. It gives people a way to work through the mental and emotional side of T1D and take action toward what matters to them.
I founded LiveFree so this support could reach more people through a team, a practical coaching program, and a community that understands.
My goal is for people with type 1 diabetes to feel more confident living life on their own terms.
