The Diabetic Diary

The Diabetic Diary I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist living with T1D since 1977.

I created Diabetes-Focused Psychotherapy®, a specialized approach to help Individuals & Families with all aspects of diabetes. Diabetes-Focused Psychotherapy® is a therapeutic approach developed by Eliot LeBow, LCSW, CDE. This method combines traditional talk therapy with diabetes education and management support. It addresses both the physical and emotional challenges of living with diabetes, whi

"I’ve heard wonderful things about this weekend camping adventure designed specifically for adults with Type 1 diabetes.
