Coaching, Community, and Resources with Certified Health Coach and Fellow T1D Melissa Slemp
Type 1 in Midlife
Coaching Circle
A steadier way to build health in 2026
If managing type 1 diabetes in midlife feels louder than it used to—
more swings, more questions, more hormone-related curveballs, you’re not imagining it.
The Type 1 in Midlife Coaching Circle is a supportive, education‑based group for women who want to stop fixing everything at once and start building health
one layer at a time.
This isn’t about perfection, tighter control, or doing more. It’s about consistency, awareness, and learning to trust your body again.
What’s Different About 2026
In 2026, the group follows a simpler, steadier structure designed to reduce overwhelm and help changes actually stick.
-
Each month, we focus on one core area of health, instead of juggling everything at once. You’ll have time to notice patterns, experiment gently, and carry what works into the next month.
-
You’ll also be paired with an accountability partner, so you’re never doing this alone.

Happy Members
"Just listened to today’s recording. It was so good and emotional!! Relatable in so many ways, especially considering the “what ifs”traveling to another country. I’m thankful to have found all of you. I’ve never known anyone else with diabetes. It scared my parents, so they didn’t try to take care of me. I learned as a young adult how to properly care for myself. I thank God he protected me from so much damage that could have taken place on my body. He was kind. Thank you Melissa for Kaycee’s devotion. I love listening to her encouragement. You are both so good at that :)" Carrie N.
"Fantastic guest and topic! Thanks for this outlet and group Melissa 🙏" Tara H.

"Melissa's positive, upbeat spirit and generosity in sharing information created a wonderful space to talk about the unique challenges of managing Type 1 Diabetes during perimenopause and menopause. I appreciated her guidance, the wealth of resources she shared, and her willingness to help me explore natural options since I can’t take HRT.
The coaching was very helpful—I learned a lot and feel more equipped moving forward. I’m very satisfied with the service and would absolutely recommend it to others—10 out of 10." Dina G.
"I was overwhelmed with doctors appointments and the diabetes crash course I found myself in these past few months .
