Coaching with Dr. Mark! How to Overcome Fear of Low Blood Sugar

Having a low blood sugar is no fun for anyone. But for some people with T1D, the thought of going low is terrifying. Fear of hypoglycemia is a condition where people with T1D keep their blood sugar high and avoid activities in order to avoid the possibility of going low. Not only does a fear of lows have a big impact on the person’s diabetes management, but it can also stand in the way of living their life.

In this episode, you’ll hear Oriana talk about how her fear of hypoglycemia is affecting her life. Then you’ll hear Dr. Mark coach Oriana on how she can implement strategies to bring her blood sugars back into her target range and gain the confidence she needs to deal with lows when they happen (and they will!).
