About the Course

The course is designed to COMPLIMENT NOT REPLACE direct medical advice from your doctor. This isn’t just another program about diabetes in general. The 5 Pillar Promise was created specifically for adults with Type 1, 1.5 or 2. The course is divided into five modules: Mellitus, Medicine, Managing, Meals and Movement put together = EMpowerment. Your step-by-step by STEP SUPPORT system for learning how to manage your diabetes with confidence, not fear, clarity, not chaos. The 5 Pillar Promise helps you: • understand your specific type of diabetes, why you have it and how to manage it. • build a balanced 24/7 health care routine to avoid or delay diabetes complications. • make peace with your plate—especially CARBS • replace frustration with preparedness • with MINDSET—to make up your MIND and have it SET on living your best health life with Diabetes as a constant companion. This isn’t just education. It’s transformation. It’s your reset. Your refresh. Your NEW beginning.

Taffy Brooks - Educator, Advocate, and Diabuddy in the Trenches

Hi, I’m Taffy, the creator of The 5 Pillar Promise and your guide through the course. I’m a writer, researcher and advocate for diabetes education AND, just as importantly, I, too, have diabetes. I was initially misdiagnosed as having Type 1DM on 1-1-11, (Happy New Year to me!) Weeks later I was diagnosed correctly with Type 1.5DM (also called LADA). I’ve know what it’s like to live with elements of both Type 1 and Type 2. I understand your frustrations and your challenges whether you’re a Type 1, Type 2 or a Type 1.5, like me. I can help you in real time what it took years of research, doctor’s visits and personal experience for me to learn. I didn’t choose this path but I did choose who I became because of it.
