What happens to your health management when the power goes out, an earthquake hits, or your luggage goes missing? For anyone living with a medical condition, preparation is a survival strategy. Watch to learn how to build a reliable emergency plan.
Join Dr. George Birchfield and advance care planning specialist Hilary Walker of Known Wishes to learn how planning ahead lets you stay in charge of all your care — including your diabetes — during an emergency, a hospital stay, or at end of life. You’ll walk away with practical tools to make sure your wishes are known, documented, and honored.
Whether you’re a longtime athlete, easing back into movement, or wondering how exercise needs shift as you age with T1D, this talk is for anyone who wants to keep moving — and keep their blood sugars steady — through every stage of life.
Whether you’re preparing for a procedure, recovering from one, or navigating steroids for another medical reason, this talk will cover what to expect before, during, and after — and how to adjust your T1D management accordingly.
Dr. Mark Heyman, PhD, CDCES, is a diabetes psychologist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist who has lived with T1D since 1999. He is the founder of the Center for Diabetes & Mental Health (CDMH) in San Diego, specializing in evidence-based mental health support and emotional challenges for people with diabetes. Mark’s practice and programs are focused on helping people with T1D address the emotional burden, burnout, and fear associated with the condition.
What’s normal aging… and what’s something more? Join us for an important conversation with Nancy A. Allen as we explore memory health in older adults living with Type 1 diabetes — and what you can actually do about it. You’ll learn how to recognize warning signs, understand how blood sugar and lifestyle impact brain health, and identify conditions that can mimic dementia — some of which may be treatable or even reversible. This isn’t about fear — it’s about clarity, confidence, and knowing your next step.
