The Mental Side of T1D that Nobody's Treating // Allison Nimlos, The Diabetic Therapist

The Mental Side of T1D that Nobody's Treating // Allison Nimlos, The Diabetic Therapist

79% of people with T1D experience shame related to their diabetes. Not occasionally. As part of their daily lived experience.

Today's guest built an entire conference around that statistic. Allison Nimlos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and has been living with Type 1 Diabetes for 32 years. She knows this disease from the inside of a therapy room and from the inside of her own body.

We talk about what diabetes distress actually looks like (and why it's not the same as burnout), why your A1C being good doesn't mean you're OK, and what it costs people to be stuck between an endo who doesn't ask how they're doing and a therapist who doesn't know what an A1C is.

Plus, True or False, the Diabetes Confession Booth, and Allison goes head-to-head with the Fastest 5 Minutes of Your Life.

The Diabetes + Mental Health Conference is May 1-2. That's next week. Virtual. $40 general admission. Register at dmhconference.com.
