T1D Support Guides
Self-led nutrition and lifestyle guides to help you find ways of managing your type 1 diabetes that work for you
What are the best ways to manage T1D? How can I invite these approaches into my day-to-day life so the burden of T1D weighs less heavy? Where should I focus my energies in my type 1 diabetes management? These are questions I get asked a lot - by clients, by T1Ds in the Diabetes Online Community, by anyone looking to get a better handle on their condition.
And I get it. T1D can be a tough and lonely old gig. It requires meticulous focus, relentless perseverance and is a condition not well understood by society. Whilst type 1 diabetes can offer you lots of good things (& my clients will know I place great emphasis on this), the nature of any chronic condition means that it feels overwhelming at times. Plus we’re not raised in a way that necessarily puts our health needs front and centre in our lives. Instead we’re taught to push through, work harder and crack on with it - even if we’re tired, even if we’re burnt out, even if we really need to lie on the sofa with a blanket around our shoulders.
But the thing is, if we make space for our T1D and make peace with the energy it requires, only good things can come. Things feel lighter, management gets easier and you learn to live in harmony with your condition, not fight against it.
So where do we start? How do we unpick what’s important when it comes to living well and eating well with type 1 diabetes? How do we tune into advice that honours us our bioindividuals and feel comfortable leaving the rest? This is exactly where this portfolio of guides come in.

“It has been so positive working with Beth, and her support, guidance and knowledge has really helped me to feel more proactive and calm in my approach to T1D and food. Her sensitivity and creative approach to trying new strategies and techniques has been so useful - including great tools for the long-term! Her person-centred approach felt very authentic and I felt heard and supported, and Beth worked with me to problem-solve lots of things. She is very knowledgeable and draws on the latest research.
