You're doing more right
than most people will ever realize.
You are paying attention. Thinking about insulin and food and activity and stress, often all at once, while the rest of the world has no idea how much mental energy that actually takes.
And yet something still feels hard.
Not because you are failing.
There is just a whole side of living with T1D that almost nobody talks about honestly.
The mental load of it. The background exhaustion. The way it quietly takes up space in your brain even on the days when your numbers look fine.
The emotional side of living with T1D is not separate from the clinical side. They affect each other every single day. And sometimes just understanding that changes the way people move through all of this.
This is Probably Not What You're Expecting

A Lecture about what you should be doing better
X
Another session focused only on numbers, targets, and protocols
X
A space where anyone is going to judge how you are managing things
This is actually an honest conversation between two people who both live with T1D.
​
About the side of T1D that most care teams never have enough time to address.
The fear.
The burnout.
The frustration...
of doing everything you can and still feeling like it is not enough.
Here is what most people living with T1D
have never been told.
Mental health and diabetes management are not two separate things.
The way you feel affects your blood sugar, your energy, your decisions, and the way you move through the day. And the constant pressure of managing T1D affects you mentally and emotionally every single day.
When one gets harder, so does the other. But when one starts to feel more manageable, the other often does too.
Most care teams understand this. Very few have the time to actually address it.
This conversation is specifically about that gap.
SPEND YOUR EVENING WITH · JUNE 4, 2026
Aimée José
RN, CDCES · Living with T1D since 1983
Diabetes Care Nurse · San Diego, CA
She has spent her career helping adults living with T1D navigate the parts that most clinical appointments do not have time to address. The exhaustion. The confusion. The gap between knowing what to do and actually feeling okay. She knows what it is like to carry this from the inside.
Forty-three years will teach you a lot.

Dr. Mark Heyman
PhD, CDCES · Living with T1D for 26 years
Author, Diabetes Sucks and You Can Handle It The Diabetes Psychologist
He has spent years helping people living with T1D navigate burnout, fear of lows, and the emotional exhaustion that can quietly build over time.
Between the two of them, Aimée and Dr. Mark bring over 60 years of lived T1D experience plus careers built around helping people living with T1D make more sense of the parts that are hardest to carry. That combination is surprisingly rare in diabetes care.
WHAT THIS CONVERSATION WILL GIVE YOU
Not a protocol. Not a checklist. Not another thing to optimize. Just a different way of understanding why this can feel so hard sometimes.
-
Why days with T1D can spiral emotionally so fast, even when you know exactly what to do
-
Why so many adults living with T1D feel exhausted even when they are doing everything right
-
Small ways to make the hard days feel less mentally consuming
Most importantly,
we want this to feel like a conversation
where you can finally exhale a little.
