Coaching with Dr. Mark! How to Hold Yourself Accountable with T1D

Why is managing type 1 diabetes important to you?

Answering this question is the key to holding yourself accountable with T1D.

Managing diabetes is a means to an end. Being healthy, lowering your A1c, and staying on your endo's good side are all great things to aim for, but they're probably not going to be enough to keep you motivated when things get rough. Instead, you need to figure out how managing diabetes will help get you to where you want to be in your life.

In this episode, Katelyn talks about her struggles with keeping herself accountable and pushing herself to lower her A1c. Dr. Mark coaches Katelyn on how she can change how she thinks about accountability by identifying the reasons why lowering her A1c is so important to her. Katelyn learns how she can use her 'why' as leverage to hold herself accountable for managing T1D.
