72. Rediscovering Yourself After a T1D Diagnosis at 46
Welcome back everyone! In today’s episode, I sit down with Adia Corley to discuss the topic of Adult Diagnosis. She was diagnosed with T1D in November 2020 at the age of 46.
We talk about...
- How her diagnosis unfolded
- How she overcame her fear of giving insulin
- How a stranger at Whole Foods set her off on the path to reclaiming her life
- How she was able to go from an A1C of 7.4 with 50% time in range to 6.6 with 80% time and range
- How her process of learning about T1D didn’t bring her back to herself, but led her to become an even better version of herself.
We are now enrolling for our Fall 2023 Decide and Conquer Group Coaching Program. If you are curious about the transformation Adia talks about in this episode, learn more about the DCB and apply HERE.
