T1D plot twist: It’s not just about carbs — stress can spike blood sugar too! 😅

Ever had a stressful day and boom — your blood sugar skyrockets out of nowhere? You’re not imagining it! Stress releases hormones that make blood sugar harder to manage, because of course, T1D loves to keep things interesting. 🙃

Managing T1D isn’t just about food and insulin — mental health, self-care, and finding ways to chill all matter too. 💙

What’s your go-to way to de-stress when T1D is being extra? Drop your best stress-busting tip below! 👇

We’ve all heard them… the comments that make you cringe. 🙃

“Can you eat that?” 🍩
“But you don’t look diabetic.” 🤔
“So, did you get diabetes from eating too much sugar?” 😑

T1Ds hear it all — and while most of the time, people mean well, these comments can be frustrating. Education is key, and thoughtful questions make a difference. 💙

Swipe through to see some of the most common misconceptions about T1D, and let’s start better conversations!

Some days, T1D just does not cooperate. 😮‍💨

The numbers won’t settle, the alarms won’t stop, the exhaustion is real — it’s just one of those days. Managing T1D is already a full-time job, and some days feel harder than others.

If you’re having one of those days, know that you’re not alone. Take a deep breath, do what you can, and remember — tomorrow is a new day. 💙

Tag a friend so they know they're not alone.

Roses are red, violets are blue — if you check my CGM, I love you. 💙😂

T1D love language looks a little different. It’s:
💙 Grabbing glucose tabs without being asked
💙 Staying up for a 2 AM low
💙 Keeping snacks in your bag just in case
💙 Texting “Hey, you're crushing it”

This Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate the people who show up for us in all the little ways that matter.

Tag someone who speaks your T1D love language!

T1D is a nonstop learning process — but you don’t have to figure it out alone. 💙

Managing T1D is more than just counting carbs and dosing insulin. It’s about learning how to navigate daily challenges, build confidence, and make adjustments that work for you.

That’s why TK.type1 offers coaching scholarships — to help people living with T1D get the personalized support they need.

Whether it’s learning how to manage tricky blood sugars, adjusting for exercise, or just having a knowledgeable guide in your corner, coaching can make a difference.
