Episode description

When I ask someone why they are willing to work hard to manage diabetes, the answer is almost always 'I want to be healthy.'

Wanting to be healthy is NOT a good enough reason!

Managing T1D is a lot of work. If you are going to put in the effort, you need more than a vague reason. You need something that will keep you motivated right now.

In this episode of The Diabetes Psychologist Podcast, I give you five steps to find the real reason you want to work to manage your diabetes. After listening to this episode, you'll have the motivation to work hard to get your blood sugars in range and deal with the stress of T1D because you'll see an immediate payoff!
