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

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.

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.

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.
