For Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
Steadier Days. Fewer Lows. An A1C Your Doctor Notices. Without Trying Harder.
1 on 1 coaching with a T1D who lives it. Learn to read your own patterns instead of guessing.
Sound Familiar?
You've Had This for Years. And You Still Don't Know What Your Numbers Will Do.
You made 17 blood sugar decisions today. You're not confident about any of them.
Your mind runs 24/7. You correct the high, dodge the low, and brace for the next surprise. Maybe you run a little high on purpose, because a high is easier to live with than a low. And nobody around you gets how heavy that is.
Here's why it feels this way. Someone handed you ratios, or programmed your pump, and sent you home. Nobody sat down and showed you what your body and your tools are actually doing. Then, when it didn't work, you were told: "You've had this for years. You should know by now."
You're not the problem. Nobody showed you how to play this game.
Every attempt that didn't work wasn't proof that you're broken. It was proof that instructions aren't understanding.
The T1Ds who feel in control aren't luckier, and they aren't more disciplined. They understand their own patterns and how to adjust their tools around them. That's a skill. And skills can be learned.
This Matters
Your endo sees one number every three months. You live the other 2,000 hours.
An A1C can look "fine" and still hide lows, rollercoaster days and a mind that never rests. Your doctor writes the scripts and orders the labs. What's missing is someone in between who understands what it's like to live with this every day, and who will sit with you and your data long enough to make it make sense. That's what I do.
A Client Story
Stuck at a 7.0 for Ten Years. Then a 6.4.
"For 19 years I was surviving with type 1 diabetes. For the last few months I honestly feel like I'm thriving."
Ben weighed his food and counted every carb for almost two decades, and his A1C sat around 7.0 for ten of those years. He thought he was bad at this.
What was actually happening: his pump was shutting off his background insulin as he drifted low, he'd eat with nothing on board, spike, correct hard, and crash. Over and over. Nobody had ever shown him the pattern.
Once he could see it in his own graphs, he stopped fighting 260s and started catching rises early. Within months his A1C was 6.4, and he was spending less time managing it, not more.
Time in range 72% → 85%. Average glucose 152 → 136. Same target range, same sensor, 99% wear both periods.
How This Works
We Build It Like a Pyramid. From the Bottom Up.
Most programs start with your food or your workouts. I start where the problem actually is. This is the same process I use in my own body every day.
What Happens After You Apply
How We Work Together
The Videos Teach the Basics. I Coach You.
You get short video lessons on the things nobody explained: what your pump is really doing, why a low bounces you high, the second wave after a meal. Watch them on your own time.
But videos alone never fixed anyone's numbers. They're there so that when we meet, we skip the basics and spend every minute on your data. No junior coach, no group you get lost in. It's you and me, in the trenches, looking at your graphs. Not someone in a lab coat pointing fingers.
I'm not a doctor or a nurse, and I'll never tell you how much insulin to take. I'm a Type 1 who figured this out in my own body, and I'll lay everything out on the table so you can see it too. I've had the same graphs you're embarrassed about. There's no scolding here.
Because it's just me, I work with a small number of clients at a time. When my spots are full, they're full.
Your Coach
Someone Who Actually Lives This.
You're not getting generic advice from someone who read about diabetes in a textbook. You're getting guidance from someone who manages T1D in his own body, every single day.
I've kept my A1C under 6.0 for 7 years straight. My Time in Range sits between 85 and 92%, with an average glucose around 118 mg/dL. And I've done it both on injections and on a pump.
That matters because the system I teach doesn't depend on any specific technology. It depends on understanding your patterns. Whether you inject or pump, the skill is the same. I've worked 1 on 1 with over 150 Type 1 Diabetics, and I'm a NASM Certified Wellness Coach, Nutrition Coach, and Personal Trainer. But what makes this work is that I've tested everything I teach in my own body first.
"I'm not here to lecture you from a textbook. I figured this out in my own body first, and I'm still learning. I'll teach you to listen to yours."
Results
They Stopped Guessing. Their Numbers Followed.
Don't take my word for it. Hear it from T1Ds who went through this, then see their real lab results.
A lower A1C is the result, not the goal. Every one of these came from understanding patterns and dosing for real food, not from eating less or chasing lows.
The Program
What You Get When We Work Together
Three months of real attention, so managing T1D takes less of you for the rest of your life. Most people I talk to have already spent more than this on gadgets nobody taught them to use.
I share this upfront so nothing is a surprise, and so our call can be about your blood sugar instead of a pitch. If the call shows we're a fit, I'll invite you to join and ask you to make a decision. Yes and no are both fine answers. Everything you need to decide, including the investment, is already on this page.

Everything You Need to Know
1 on 1 coaching starts at $2,500, and payment plans are available. The T1D Clarity Call is free. I put the number on this page so nothing is a surprise, and so you can think it through and talk to whoever you decide with before we ever get on a call.
Because I won't take your money before I know I can actually help you. On the call we look at your numbers together. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you. If we are a fit, I'll invite you to join and ask you to make a decision. Yes and no are both fine answers.
Three months, 1 on 1 with me. We meet live on Zoom to go through your data and decide what to change next, and we set your call schedule together on the Clarity Call. In between, you watch short video lessons on the basics, send me your numbers, and I send back what I see. You can text me anytime. The goal is simple: by the end, you can read your own numbers without me.
Our calls, a few short videos you watch on your own time, and a quick check-in with your numbers between calls. This isn't about adding hours. It's about making the time you already spend on T1D actually count.
No. One session can show you a pattern, but I can't help someone I see once and never again. A change takes weeks to show up in your data, and the skill only sticks when we look at your numbers together again and again. Three months is what it takes to make it yours.
No. We start with understanding your body and your tools, not your plate. No meal plans, no strict diet, no carb math. Carb counting alone was never enough, and that's not your fault. You keep eating real food and learn what it does to your blood sugar.
Most people I work with are. It makes sense, and it's the reason so many T1Ds run a little high on purpose. A lot of that fear comes from not knowing why a low happened. Once you can see why in your own data, and treat one without bouncing high after, the fear starts to lose its grip. We go slow. No one pushes you off a cliff.
Everything you've tried handed you rules. Ratios, settings, carb counts. Rules break the moment your body changes. Nobody taught you to read your own body. Instructions aren't understanding. That's the piece this builds.
Yes. We book call times around your schedule, and all you need is Zoom and your phone. I work with T1Ds across the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia.
Please do. If you make decisions together, bring them to the Clarity Call. They'll hear exactly what this is and isn't, and you won't have to explain it secondhand.
Neither. I'm a T1D coach who lives with Type 1 myself, and I can't tell you how much insulin to take. What I do is help you understand what your blood sugar is actually doing, so you make better decisions and bring better questions to your care team. You keep seeing your doctor.
A CGM is needed. Pump or injections both work. Technology gives you data. Most T1Ds were never taught what to do with it. That's what we fix.
