Everyone Needs to Talk
After 40 years of saying “It’s going well” when people ask about her diabetes, Ann-Charlotte realized that she is actually really sad that she got the disease – and that she has much more weighing on her chest than she is able to offload with her diabetes nurse.

Despite Dan’s knowledge and efforts, his blood sugar goes up and down. Often he doesn’t know why. He forgets that he can talk to his family and friends about his diabetes, although it’s on his mind all the time.
But whenever he meets someone with diabetes, that is all they talk about.

Mindful Listening Supports Behavioral Change
When someone truly listens to us, we become
more relaxed
more self-aware of our strengths and weaknesses
more willing to reflect in a non-defensive manner.
Being listened to make people more likely
to cooperate, and to change.

I have often thought that a person needs to have insight into or be medically knowledgeable about diabetes in order to talk to me as a diabetic, but with this peer to peer coaching, I have realized that what I often need is just someone listening.
Diabetes Type 1
My first great insight from peer coaching is that I am not alone. There are more people with diabetes with the same behaviors and challenges as I have. That feels very good.
Diabetes Type 1The insight is how important this is and, actually, how much better it feels to talk in a setting like this than it might feel to talk with people close to me.
