#125: How to Set Boundaries Around T1D with Your Coworkers

The Diabetes Psychologist Podcast is changing it's name to Live Free with T1D! 

Is going to work uncomfortable because your coworkers don't know anything about T1D? Or worse, do your coworkers think they know about diabetes, so they want to "help" you manage your blood sugars? With more people returning to the office, work has become a landmine for some people with type 1 diabetes.

In this episode, Dr. Mark coaches Tarra on how she can deal with a coworker who thinks he knows it all about T1D. After returning to the office, this coworker is constantly asking her about her diabetes and it is starting to make Tarra uncomfortable. This situation is making her hesitant to tell others at work that she has T1D because she doesn't want to deal with the questions and/or (bad) advice that might follow. Listen as Dr. Mark coaches Tarra on some simple steps she can take to set boundaries with coworkers, so she can do her job, without interference with her diabetes management from her colleagues.
