Type 1 coaching - where to start?

[Colin of Kent]

Hello all. I have lived with T1D for 36 years. I've met quite a few other T1Ds over the years, and the thing I've loved the most is sharing our experiences. Feeling seen.

I've thought for a long time about whether I could be a health coach for people with type 1. Some have remarked I'm a good listener.

But where would I actually start if I wanted to get into this? I have asked AI, of course, but your opinions are more valuable!

Hi,
From my personal real life experience with other T1s. (Played in a few bands in my time & 3 bands had 2 T1s & a T2.)
Every now & then one pops up in the wild too?

Now I have T1 experience & my focus is music.

My personal “experience” is spotting the other guy’s hypo.
Support? Slide some fast acting carbs silently in thier direction, suggest candidly the meter. & “moonwalk” in the opposite direction..

May sound like a weird response..
But you might want to look into some sort of HCP qualification in the field first? (To support & balance the decades of the personal.)

Best wishes.
