Most people with T1D don’t get the support they need in a 15-minute endo appointment.

So we built a coaching model that has helped thousands of people reclaim the life they deserve.

I am no longer exhausted from being on a rollercoaster and losing sleep from constant alarms. I have never felt so empowered, confident and in control of my body & how I’m feeling.

This is some text inside of a div block.

Before Risely, I felt like I had nowhere to turn for help. With an A1C of 8.4%, my doctor basically told me that I don’t care about my diabetes. My A1C at the end of 10 weeks (with Risely) blew me away: I lowered it to 6.7.  I feel like I have all the tools and resources internally to combat any challenge I face.

Cory

Before Risely, I was overwhelmed, exhausted, and defeated. I had lived with uncontrolled T1D for so long because I never prioritized my health. Now, I feel energized and in control, more confident and empowered. No more negative self-talk and beating myself up over blood sugars. I am finishing my program with 80% TIR and am writing this with tears of joy.

Monica

I thought my biggest challenge was bolusing for challenging foods and staying in range during exercise. In reality, it was my mindset. I've been so frustrated and resentful of my diabetes. After coaching, I feel like a weight has been lifted. I feel empowered by the community, education, and learning to trust myself.

Kerry

“Every new strategy became another tool in my diabetes toolbox.”

Andrea W.

“After 27 years with Type 1 diabetes, Risely helped me reconnect with myself and grow again.”

Sarah C.

“Risely helped me understand the why behind my numbers and gave me the confidence to adjust.”

Karlee R.

“I feel like I finally have my life back and the confidence to navigate whatever Type 1 diabetes throws at me.”

Sarah N.

“For the first time, I felt understood—and supported—by other women who truly get life with Type 1 diabetes.”

Breeyn D.

“Risely helped me understand my patterns, trust myself, and finally prioritize me.”

Kristin P.

“Risely helped me feel confident taking insulin, let go of guilt around carbs, and realize I’m not alone in this.”

Rose C.

“Even after 12 years with Type 1 diabetes, Risely gave me powerful ‘aha’ moments and helped me approach my diabetes with curiosity—not judgment.”

Monica D.

“Risely helped me understand my diabetes—and reminded me I wasn’t alone in it.”

Loren M.

Elisabeth taught me that a lot of small things make a big difference, and that brought me more peace. I used to cry every time I went to the endocrinologist because of the secret turmoil inside me. I do CrossFit and have set record PRs in the last month, and it was because of the nutrition + T1D management I learned from Elisabeth!

Joy C.

It's worth it! The ability to talk to Elisabeth, who has gone through similar experiences and can empathize, is unmatched. Your approach is not strictly numbers-based. She focused on personalized, sustainable ways to better manage T1D and address all the outside factors that play a role, like sleep, stress, etc.

Shelby S.

Megan, my 1:1 coach, was kind, thoughtful, and beyond caring. She walked me through many difficulties and figuratively held my hand with my acceptance of my diabetes. Fears and challenges do not go away until they are faced and worked through. Risely is the perfect way to work through this in the MOST supportive way possible.

Allison K.

Coaching with Megan F. was a breath of fresh air and nothing I have ever experienced when it comes to my approach to diabetes. It was personalized, therapeutic, motivating, authentic, and so much deeper than an A1C reading. I left every session encouraged rather than shameful.

Olivia K.

If you feel like you’ve been stuck in a rut and nothing you’re doing seems to be keeping your BG in range, then just try the coaching with Megan F! I never knew how large my knowledge gap was bc no one ever taught me when I was first diagnosed. It’s such an incredible experience that provides you with tools you can use post-coaching.

Ann A.

It is 100% worth the investment. From a mental, physical and emotional well-being, it was life-changing to have a coach that understood where I've been, the challenges and where I want to go. I am so thankful for Megan F and her approach to working with me over the last three months. I look forward to our continued coaching sessions.

Erika G.

There is so much more information and resources that Lindsey provided. I could never get this type of information on how everything affects diabetes and understanding how, while having the confidence to navigate it all if it was coming from a doctor who doesn't know it themselves. Lindsey made me feel good to know that I wasn't alone in any of my struggles and concerns.

Rylee K.

Lindsey went into so much detail, into every aspect of your life, to identify any and all patterns and try to improve them, while making sure you voice your own thoughts too. There's just not enough time to do that during a doctor's appointment. These sessions were exactly what I needed.

Andrea M.

Katarina was so attentive and helpful. She listened so thoughtfully to everything I had to say and had so many strategies to offer in terms of management. She was truly awesome, and she made me enjoy my workouts again. This has improved my quality of life and my confidence, and I feel so much less anxious going into any kind of workout- from 7 mile runs to hot yoga sculpt classes!!

Abigail S.

So much support was given; I felt understood and cared for by Katarina! My questions were answered, and I learned so many things my doctors have never even brought up. Thank you Risely, for helping me feel so much more alive and empowered! I am so grateful that this program exists and for the support I’ve received so far.

Kasenia S.

The fact that Neil is a T1D makes a HUGE difference. Instead of waiting hours or days to get in touch with my Doctor, Neil would respond right away. Risely knows all the struggles a T1D goes through like nobody else because they live it and understand the day-to-day life. I don't feel alone anymore!

Anthony S.

This coaching was much more personalized, than anything else I have experienced. I felt a deep personal connection with Coach Neil, rather than just feeling like the next appointment in a doctor's office. This was an incredible experience and was absolutely life-changing.

Trey W.

Neil’s honesty, caring and compassion guided me through the journey of finding answers with almost daily feedback. Learning on my own and having a total of 20 min a year with the Endo didn’t give me the feedback I needed to guide me towards the answers I was looking for.

Jim A.

I want to thank Coach Abby for being awesome. I have learned so many topics with her! I am so glad I found Risely when I was newly diagnosed and had no clue what I was doing. She offered a personal level of understanding & compassion to her coaching, and for that I am forever thankful. 😊

Christina S

Abby helped me to still manage my Diabetes in the best way possible. I no longer see myself as a victim, and I was able to set boundaries with my family members so that I can be the only one making decisions about my health. I also don’t feel that I’m alone anymore. Moreover, I feel proud of my efforts and progress because during my coaching sessions, so many factors changed in my life, including my routine, my workplace, my commute and my time of meals.‍

Tara S.

"My experience with 1:1 coaching was great, and empowering from the beginning to the end. What I valued most about the program was truly having Stacy as my coach. Her demeanor and knowledge were exactly what I needed in a coach and her gentle guidance is why I feel like I had success in my coaching program. Stacy was able to hone in on specific patterns and situations and help me develop everyday strategies I was comfortable with implementing. If you are thinking about coaching, it is so worth it! Stacy is the best and so skilled in what she does. I am so thankful for her. "

Bethany M.

"The challenge that led me to apply for coaching was my struggle with insulin sensitivity/resistance. Now that I've completed the program, I actually feel confident in my diabetes management. One of the aspects of the coaching that I valued most was that I felt like it was easier to relate with my coach because they have T1D. They were able to help me based on things they have been through and understand the struggles sometimes. My coach supported me and worked through every problem I had together. 1:1 coaching is 100% worth your time, and if you are debating applying, I have no doubt you will benefit too."

Cille F.

"I was someone who felt I was 90% of the way to mastering diabetes. I was hesitant to enroll because I thought I didn't have much to learn and I was already doing most of the right things. I may have been on the right track, but Risely provided me with a more concrete framework that reframed how I viewed my management and refined my approach. This program provides personalized, intimate, consistent and continual guidance versus doctors which are periodic and typically cookie-cutter, impersonal visits. My coach Meg did not always give me direct answers but asked to me try to think for myself on how I should approach a situation or why my sugars might have been high/low during certain times. While this was extremely challenging, it was necessary and helpful to build a foundation for reflection and strategizing that I can use beyond the 3-month program. This was not something I could have done by myself, no matter how much research, exercise or dieting that I tried and I truly believe Risely was the only way for me to achieve this level of understanding and change of mindset. I cannot thank Risely enough for the work they are all doing. It was truly inspirational and I don't say that lightly. I think daily of how I can make an impact in this world and I can only hope to emulate what these people are doing. This disease has plagued me for 25 years and it has taken me that long to realize that our health is the most important thing in our lives - Risely is helping people live to their fullest potential and that is not something you should take lightly."

Jerry M.

"Before coaching, I found myself stuck in a perpetual cycle of lethargy and depression with my diabetes management. Now that I've completed coaching, I feel great. I have a better understanding and a greater freedom, as I am taking control of my diabetic management and making decisions to help me push forward in a healthy lifestyle that will only benefit me from an overall management perspective. I can go on and on about my experience during 1:1 coaching...as there is so much that I could say about the value that Risely provides, but I will try and sum it up as this. Jehan and the team see their clients, guide them, and go along side them through struggles and victories as we try to conquer the mountain of this disease and mark our own paths within it. Now that I've completed coaching, I feel great. I have a better understanding and a greater freedom, as I am taking control of my diabetic management and making decisions to help me push forward in a healthy lifestyle. This is a new way of approaching yourself. It is not a coaching that will take you hand and tell you how to do things, but help you navigate the life of T1D by providing an ear to hear and eyes to see you. The experiences all together will set you free and allow you to take the necessary steps to become more independent and free lifestyle."

Charles H.

"Prior to coaching, my biggest challenge was intense frustration over an inability to recognize patterns or make meaningful changes to my diabetes management, despite being a physician who cares for kids with T1D. It made me feel ashamed and embarrassed. 1:1 coaching allows you to explore, without judgement, the things that not only impact your diabetes and blood sugars, but the way those things make you feel, and how they show up in your life. . I feel more confident, relaxed, and encouraged that change is possible, and that I am capable of continuing to focus on those habits that are serving me even after coaching is finished. It gave me a space to acknowledge that there was room for improvement without the shame of not being able to do it on my own. I have a renewed sense of energy, lightness, and excitement about the future that I haven't had in a quite a while."

Jamie F.

"I was provided more guidance in these coaching sessions, in the last 9 months, than I've had from endocrinologists over the past 9 years. Now that I've completed the program, I feel like I have the knowledge to obtain the results I want, and enough practice implementing what I learned, to be successful. I honestly could not recommend it enough. It completely changed the way I approach diabetes."

Joe C.

“My absolute challenge prior to joining the DCB was fear of insulin, weight gain and not being able to enjoy certain foods. Restriction, restriction, restriction! Now that I’ve completed the program, I feel lighter! There is less of a weight carried by having T1D and it is not so much at the forefront of my mind. I realized that I am not alone and I saw that my limiting beliefs were certainly holding me back. The DCB truly delves into a variety of areas that directly impact the life of a Diabetic. The resources, discussions and tools given to the T1D participants enable them to think critically and get curious about their body patterns. Being coached by not only T1D women, but women who had gone through the DCB and found success is paramount. It is like having an entire family who is rooting for your success and happiness. With certainty, this program helps you to see it is possible to live a happy and full life with Diabetes. If you are debating coaching, here’s what I have to say: There is no "perfect" time and if you wait for all conditions to be aligned beautifully, then you may waste an opportunity.”

Kyle R.

“Prior to the DCB, I felt frustrated with the highs, scared by the lows, and overall very defeated, like having control over my #s was not something I could do. This course and community have been life-changing! I have learned so much in the short-term and know I will continue to grow and thrive with T1D in the long-term thanks to the coaching and community. I have not come across anything else like DCB either in my 18 yrs as a T1D or in 20 years as a physician. This program is taught by true “professionals” - those living with T1D successfully and addressing all aspects from physical to emotional to mental to tech. Each coach’s spirit is beautiful - so confident, encouraging, giving. I feel empowered to take better care of myself, accepting of the fact that living with T1D does require more space and time, and worthy of prioritizing my own needs and health now.”

Jennifer P.

“There's no time like the present to prioritize how you feel and live with diabetes. The DCB gave me the tools and confidence to take management of my diabetes into my own hands. It has helped me see that diabetes isn't a death sentence and it IS possible to manage it well, even if diabetes is sometimes just going to "diabetes" - that is okay!! In addition to helping me lower my a1c from 6.7 to 6.3, I have gained so much from this program. The DCB has allowed me to come to peace with my diabetes, actually get excited to try new things, and has given me such wonderful support and community that I know will continue beyond the 3 months. This program is life-changing and I wish more people could get this kind of support.”

Amy F.

“Having had T1 nearly 24 years, I felt guilty when I was not feeling like I knew how to keep ahead of my highs and roller coaster numbers. Now that I’ve completed the program, dropping my a1c to 5.7 was only one of the many things I gained. The change through the DCB has been multi-fold! Not only am I confident of my body's patterns around meals and times of the day, I know I can troubleshoot by asking questions I never took time for before! I can anticipate highs a lot quicker, and be proactive about treating them, as well as lows. The DCB helped me realize I can be inquisitive and not judgmental over my numbers, and also my whole self esteem with my T1! I grew in mindfulness and awareness of how my attitude toward myself makes a difference in how I view myself and my T1. The DCB Community has been a huge confidence builder as well, knowing there are other women out there who GET IT and are supporting me in my journey! I feel empowered and extremely confident about my whole self, including my diabetes! Thank you DCB!”

Stephanie F.

“Prior to finding Risley at all, my A1c was a 7.7, I achieved an A1c of 6.0 and 6.1 during the DCB. Now that I’ve completed the DCB, so much has changed. The program is life-changing. I see bad blood glucose days as learning opportunities, and have really adopted a curiosity over judgment mindset. It has made the biggest difference. I have gained so much knowledge and am able to implement it with my basal testing, fine-tuning my insulin to carb ratio and correction factors, and buffer bolusing. I have confidence that I can figure out my patterns and can change my approach/strategy accordingly. It felt very welcoming, non-judgmental, extremely supportive, and I loved the ability to just listen in vs. get active coaching. It was life-changing!”

Miyako W.

“The DCB is a personal approach with the most updated knowledge to date which doctors could only dream to have! Since completing the program, my A1c dropped from a 7.6 to a 7.2!! I feel much more relaxed and prepared. I feel like my knowledge of my body and my patterns provides me with a sense of confidence with my diabetes where I know what to expect and how to get back to living full time.”

Emma L.

"Working 1-1 with Meg for the past three months has been the most impactful thing I have done since my diagnosis. She was a mentor, a coach, a confidant, a cheerleader, and a friend. It felt like she really understood where I was coming from with all the things. The stark contrast to working with my endo was "here is the plan, let's check back in 90 days with how it went and make adjustments from there." WILD. I felt so completely lost and working with Meg on a high-touch, consistent basis is what helped me find my way. ‍After completing coaching, I feel free. I feel empowered. I feel like I'm getting my life back. I feel confident to make my own decisions when it comes to daily T1D maintenance."

Kate G.

"I went into coaching not only frustrated with my diabetes but with myself for not being able to figure it out after 13 years or with 5 siblings who have type 1. I am beyond thankful I went through with it and for my coach. Since Meg has type one diabetes too, I felt like I could talk about my diabetes with someone who gets it AND someone who knows how to help me. I felt understood. For the first time in a long time, it didn't feel like a burden to talk about or even manage my diabetes."

Ana K.

"Emily was the best coach and I give her major props for always listening to my rants and dealing with my scatterbrained self with grace and patience!! She has helped me more than she knows and I consider her a dear friend! I now have a toolbox of knowledge, tips, and tricks that I will carry with me that has made me feel so much more confident in my ability to manage my diabetes. I feel in control now."

Emily M.

"My life changed since day 1. I felt the support, I felt for the first time in a long, long time, that someone understood exactly what where my struggles and I felt that I had hope in my life again. At Risely you empower us so that we can make the best decisions, you teach us how to think and analyze different circumstances, so that we can take the control of our lives. But above all, you teach us that we can live with diabetes without feeling limited by it, to celebrate every achievement and see the positive side even in the moments that are not the best. "

Mayra N.

If you are debating coaching, I would tell you to do it! It is such an incredible experience that really help transform me and my outlook on not just my diabetes, but on life itself.

Lauren R.

My last A1C before the program was 8.4% and I felt like I had no where to go for help after my doctor basically told me that I don’t care about my diabetes. My endo appointment was almost 3 months into the program. Based on the progress I made throughout the program and looking at my numbers I thought that a 7.3% would be reasonable at the time. After the A1C test the number read 6.7% and I was blown away.

Cory F.

No one is perfect in the world of diabetes and this approach looks at whole picture of health focusing on mental social and physical. You might have one piece of the puzzle but there is a way bigger picture to look at. I am so grateful for this program and taking the time and energy to invest in my health!

Abby W.

"Throughout my 1:1 coaching, I’ve gotten to know Megan as a friend while other doctors are just there to do their job. I learned solid routines and habits, gained confidence, improvements in my numbers, knowledge, and so much that has helped me grow in my relationship with T1D. I want to see a lot of coaches as nice and comforting as Megan. Now I feel more confident in my methods and playing sports is easier. If you are thinking about coaching I would tell you that you should do it, it helps with everything in your life." ‍

Maggie M.

I am now using an insulin pump, my a1c is down to 6.9, and my TIR has increased to 93%! I feel like I can properly manage T1D, and I know I have all of the right tools to help me do so. If you are debating coaching, you should absolutely do it. We do not get enough information or help from our endos.

Erin H.

I feel that I’ve learned a lot and I’ve done a lot and my numbers and my time and range are proving that. But I’m also feeling more self-aware and reflective about my diabetes on a given day and that I can change strategies throughout the day depending on what’s going on.

Hannah E.

You helped me go from, "is this (roller coaster blood sugars) how it is going to be for the rest of my life? to 70+% in range." Quite the transformation. I now have many tools and go-to moves to keep my levels in range.

Andy S

Realizing that I need help even if I don't know exactly what the challenges were. I would say go for it it is worth your time and a nudge of effort.I really enjoyed my experience. Lauren truly changed and inspired my life!

Willa B

Jump the fence! Having the support from someone who truly knows the ins and outs of living with type 1 will bring clarification to you that you wouldn’t know you needed. There’s an answer for most of the challenges we face living with type 1, and sometimes it just takes having a conversation with someone who is giving you their undivided attention to make you come to the realizations you need for yourself!

Tara T

1:1 Coaching is such a valuable service. I wish that we found out about it at diagnosis. I feel that coaching is far superior to any endo appt or education from the diabetes nurse educator that I have received. Trista helped take a holistic approach to managing diabetes. She really dove into the data to make sense of daily/weekly trends. Information on diabetes was grounded in real life experience of Trista and her coworkers/alumni. Trista also went it of her way to find answers she didn’t have.

Elizabeth T

Your diabetes isn't going anywhere, and this is a real opportunity to set some goals and do some things around T1D that you're probably not going to get from your endo. Emily will help you dig in to what is holding you back, but in a way that doesn't feel like hard work. I promise you won't regret the investment.

Eric V

Coaching is the most validating and powerful experience to work with someone else with diabetes who also understands what a personal journey it is and how much transformation of mindset needs to happen, not just diet or exercise or insulin.

Kathleen W

Risely created a program based on sustainable progress, not quick fixes or overwhelming life changes. Risely and Emily encouraged me to be curious about my blood sugars, rather than reactive and avoidant. Before, I had never approached my diabetes management with anything other than resentment.

Lauris S

Emily was always incredibly supportive and always reminded me to celebrate my little and big wins—no matter what. In this coaching container, you as the coachee, matter. Though my goals were not focused on getting lower BG numbers, the fact that I was focusing on myself (being compassionate, loving and understanding) made a difference in my numbers, increasing my TIR 20%!

Constanza J

Over the 3 months with Trista, we discussed 20% technical T1D things, and 80% mindset, beliefs and practical life design. We went deep enough to discover underlying patterns which made me act the way I did (and by that, we were able to change them), and made me more mindful about how I'm spending my time and how things affect my blood sugar. From this work, I dropped my A1C from 7.4 to 6.5%!

Timo S

Managing my type 1 diabetes was stressful prior to coaching. I was lacking a lot of important information to support my nutrition and movement goals. Now I’m feeling so much more confident in my management. Jehan spent more time than other T1D professionals and resources, really focusing on my specific needs. 1:1 coaching will help you learn so much about your diabetes now and forever.

Jessica K

From day 1 of coaching it was such a relief to find out that someone understood the full picture. I felt like I had a real champion in Jess. And she was great at recognizing what it was I was feeling and needing, even when I couldn’t find ways to verbalize it.

Emery D

My biggest challenge before joining 1:1 coaching was putting my CGM back on. I had not worn it in maybe over a year due to a lack of confidence and avoidance. During my first session with Stacy, I conquered that fear, and it left me feeling powerful!

Samantha K.

Through 1:1 Coaching with Jess, I learned to be patient when it came to the settings of my pump and to give my body grace during the stressful transitions and what that meant in terms of my sugar levels. Now, I feel empowered, curious, and intuitive.

Amber W.

Thanks to coaching with Stacy, I started making progress to figure out different scenarios. I have a process and method to continue experimenting with different areas, like exercise. She also validated that my challenges are common in T1Ds, which made me feel less alone in this.

Rachel S

James and our family now has an overall boost in confidence around navigating diabetes, school, and sports as he is entering high school! As he always says to me, these coaches are the "bomb.com!" Thank you for sharing your coaching with our family. It has been a true blessing.

Tara L

I saw what Lauren's team was doing for parents of T1D's and knew they could have a huge impact for families. I was thrilled when they launched the Family program - it met and exceeded my expectations. I connected with other parents and felt so much less alone. I took my diabetes health knowledge to the next level and feel empowered that I can navigate the challenges with T1D that will undoubtedly continue to arise for my son.

Kristin T

I joined the family group program because I was feeling tense, tightly wound, and irritable. I felt at odds with my husband because neither of us had a lot of confidence in how to manage type 1 diabetes.Now with 76% time in range, we have expanded the choice of food George eats, have 5 hours of in range numbers during sailing, and we are more willing to try new things with less fear.

Erin E

Going through this family group program gave me so much more confidence to better understand Ava's body, and that is huge. I have been able to get good night’s sleep for several more nights so I am more positive, patient and have more energy to do things with Ava. Her blood sugars have been more steady (T.I.R increased 46% to 57%) so she isn’t as irritable as she used to be!

Andrea H

Before this group coaching program I felt like if I couldn’t control the entire situation, then I couldn’t control Owen’s blood sugars. After coaching, we have seen drastic improvements in being able to manage his numbers and also the freedom that comes with it. If you’re on the fence about this program, all I can say is DO IT!!!

Cheryl B

With Trista's support through coaching, I've learned as a mom how to manage Holley's T1D with more confidence, which has translated into Holley feeling like T1D does not have such a negative impact on her life anymore. Trista was extremely professional, but also very friendly and kind. Trista went above and beyond - she truly, genuinely cares.

Collette R

Before coaching, I was lost trying to figure out how to implement my knowledge of T1D and the information I knew from my doctor and experience. Right away, I connected with Trista as my coach. She always raised different thoughts and angles at how to tackle that weeks’ challenges. I’ve gained something I never really had with T1D: consistency.

Esther M

Living with T1D for all of my life, I felt frustrated, and thought that after 21 years with it I should have it figured out. Coaching with Trista helped me realize what I didn’t know I was missing from my life with T1D. During coaching, I experienced a 10% increase in my time in range, and a 0.7 point drop in my A1C, plus the confidence to recognize my own patterns which was huge.

Kelsey S

Jess’s approach was much more intuitive than other doctors and programs. The solutions-oriented approach allowed me to take action and embrace the change!

Neesha T

Before coaching, I felt like I'd never be able to do the things I'm passionate about without feeling so drained and sick from the ups and downs of my sugar levels. 1:1 coaching with Jess has provided me with so much confidence in my decision making process and also mindset work that I didn't even realize was holding me back.

Jaz H

After working with Jess, I’m proud I made the decision to do this program and really commit to myself and my health! Jess really worked to understand my lifestyle and empowered me to make decisions, identify trends, and understand my body. I lowered my A1C from 8.5 to 7.4 and feel so much more knowledgable and in control!

Gigi C

Having T1D for over 20 years, I was feeling out of control, and unsure how to optimize my management. Working with Jess made me feel so much more comfortable with my diabetes. Having someone who knows the struggles is also so comforting and thanks to this program I am managing my diabetes better than I ever was before.

Michelle V

Prior to working with Jess, I struggled to accept that my blood sugars didn't make me a "good" or "bad" person. Coaching with Jess has given me the ability to make space for myself and to be okay with the fact that I wont be 100% all the time. My sugars have also been consistently lower and my confidence has greatly increased throughout working with her!

Brenna G

After completing my coaching program, I feel grounded and at ease moving forward because I know I can handle almost anything with the proper prep!

Sofia P

What I found most valuable from coaching was being able to talk about my frustrations with diabetes and having Stacy help me unpack those feelings. I was able to work on my relationship with food, learn how to communicate with my doctors much more effectively, and I feel a lot more confident about my relationship with T1D and myself.

Elle P

Being coached with and by other women with diabetes, helped me to be vulnerable when talking about my weaknesses and also helped me to trust the guidance that was provided.

Ruth W

Thanks to the DCB, my A1C lowered from 6.8 to 6.0, my time in range increased from 65-70% to 75-80%, and my doctor thinks I am healthy and ready to get pregnant!

Maria F

Since joining the DCB, I have gained independence, realizing I can do things on my own and then actually doing them on my own, like switching from MDI to the Omnipod!

Shannon K

Through the DCB, I have worked on so many hurdles that I thought were impossible to work through, like my fear of low blood sugars! I feel more secure in my diabetes control and in my decision making process.

Erica Z

After 50 years with T1D, I was often going low after meals and then rebounding high, and feeling frustrated with this cycle. After working with Stacy, my time in range has increased to 98% over the last 3 months and I have been able to dedicate space and time to my relationships and life again without T1D holding me back!

Christa H

This program is a lifelong resource, and is one of the greatest investments that I could have made for my life, my health and my future.

Molly B

The DCB gave me more confidence in myself and my relationship with diabetes, so I can understand my patterns and how to better approach changes to basal and bolus rates.

Erin S

The DCB gave me those people connections I longed for and let me know that my problems, fears, and challenges were all relative and not just my own

Erika D

The DCB compeltely shfted my mindset around T1D: I now view diabetes as a part of me vs something that is wrong with me, and I know that I have the tools to take a on full life with diabetes in tow.

Sarah W

The DCB gave me tools and resources that have helped me lower my A1C from 7.2 to a 6.4 while increasing my confidence around exercise and food!!

Amanda R

I thank the DCB each day for helping me decide how I choose to show up for me! This sets the tone for how I manage my diabetes, pre blousing - everything!

Saadvhi K.

The holistic approach of the DCB makes it unique from anything I got through traditional doctor's visit over the course of my life with diabetes.

Joanna S

The past 3 months have been spend building on knowledge brick by brick to gain confidence in my ability to live life feeling in control of my blood sugars no matter what activity I do or food I eat!

Barbara M

Though the DCB, my mindset changed to being able to relax and look at "outlier" situations as information. From this, my time in range has improved, I have a much better understanding of my standard deviation, and navigate through my pump with confidence!

Carlin S.

In the DCB, Lauren and Jess explained things in a way that was so relatable and easy to comprehend. It wasn't all numbers and medical terms that didn't even make sense to me yet!

Callie P.

Instead of relating blood sugar to solely food and bolusing, the DCB takes such a holistic view on how everyday life affects not just numbers, but quality of life

Caitlin L.

The DCB was the source that provided me the knowledge and means to understand my foundation of diabetes, and that it effects all diabetics differently. Letting go of that judgement, and finding a community of T1D women changed my view on my person journey with diabetes.

Andrea N

Leaving the DCB, I am ready to apply the education I have been given to develop new healthy routines for life!

Sara T

The sheer mental “weight” that was lifted off my body after joining the DCB is literally priceless. I cannot explain how much lighter I felt after each call.

Meghan K

he DCB coaches focus on personalizing T1D control and considering all aspects of lifestyle that affect it, including mental and emotional factors that other doctors don’t traditionally address.

Jaida S

The DCB is a fully different approach that isn't just focused on the numbers. It teaches you how to look at diabetes through a different lens - a lens that is more kind to yourself, more understanding.

Paige R

The DCB pushed me to open up to the world about diabetes, work productively with my pain points, and accept that diabetes has made me a better person.

Lauren P.

I'm improving, slowing down, taking control, and approaching with curiosity rather than frustration. I am leaving the DCB feeling hopeful that I will stay this course and continue to come closer to my goals.

Sherri R.

There is so much other focus than “numbers” which is all related, but I’ve never had anyone guide me to look into the mental side of things, and Lauren and Jess completely changed my outlook towards myself and my diabetes.

Nikki A.

I am really proud that I dug for the roots of multiple fears and mindsets, I finally feel capable, and I made some "diabuddies."

about risely health

Reclaim the life you deserve.

The 8.4 million people living with type 1 diabetes only have time to focus on the numbers in a typical 15-minute doctor's appointment. Personalized, integrative care for people living with T1D should focus on more than just A1C, insulin and carb counting.

Lauren Bongiorno launched Risely Health with Nationally Board-Certified Health Coaches who all live with type 1 diabetes. Our transformational model for coaching & education is leading a movement to redefine type 1 diabetes care so people can reclaim the life they deserve.
