If you’re a woman living with type 1 diabetes and suddenly feel like your body has changed the rules — you’re in the right place.
-
You’ve managed type 1 diabetes for years—maybe decades.
-
You’ve built consistency, structure, and trust in your body.
-
Then midlife arrived, and everything shifted.
-
Your energy changed.
-
Your sleep became unpredictable.
-
Your blood sugars stopped playing by the same rules.
-
You’re not doing anything wrong.
-
Your body is simply speaking a new language.
-
You just need the tools and understanding to interpret it.
My Story
I’m Melissa Slemp, and I’ve lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 43 years.
In my twenties, early complications reminded me that diabetes management isn’t just about numbers — it’s about truly understanding your body.
Fast-forward a few decades, and menopause changed everything again. My routines stopped working, my body felt unpredictable, and most providers couldn’t connect the dots between hormones, blood sugar, and real life.
So, I went searching for answers. I became a certified health coach, studied hormone health, and learned how to bridge the gap between diabetes care and women’s health in midlife.
Now, I help women navigate the same challenges I once faced—with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Now I Coach Women Just Like You
I help women with type 1 diabetes in midlife to:
• Understand how hormone shifts affect energy, sleep, and blood-sugar patterns
• Adjust food, mindset, and movement to align with their changing body
• Rebuild confidence and create habits that feel sustainable
• Feel supported, educated, and seen—without guilt or judgment
Here’s What I Know to Be True
-
You’re not doing anything wrong — your body is simply changing.
-
You deserve coaching that honors your experience and empowers your choices.
-
You can thrive in midlife while living with type 1 diabetes.
-
You don’t have to face this alone.
