#119: How to Set Boundaries with T1D

The holidays are here and you and I both know that T1D can get in the way of your fun this time of year. To help you have a joyful holiday season with T1D along for the ride, we are going to the archives and bringing back a couple of the most popular episodes.

This is the first episode in a 2-part series about boundaries and T1D.

On this episode of The Diabetes Psychologist podcast, we talk about your boundaries with T1D and with yourself. Do you let T1D take up too much energy, or do you not focus on it enough? What boundaries do you set for yourself around things like what and how much you eat? You don't want your boundaries with T1D and yourself to be too loose, but you also don't want them to be too rigid. We will talk about how you can use boundaries to find the balance between good T1D management and your quality of life.

Next week in the second part of this series, we'll look at your boundaries with other people and your healthcare team around T1D.
