DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You already know pregnancy comes with tighter blood sugar targets. Maybe your numbers still have a ways to go before you feel pregnancy-ready. Or maybe your A1C and time in range are already strong, and you still look at 63–140 mg/dL and wonder how you're supposed to stay there for most of the day, for an entire pregnancy.

You want the patterns, skills, and confidence you'll rely on during pregnancy to already feel familiar before the targets get tighter and your insulin needs start changing quickly. That might mean learning your hormonal patterns, getting more comfortable spending time at lower blood sugars, working through foods or situations you still struggle to dose for, or simply trusting yourself to know what to do next.
Insulin sensitivity shifts drastically throughout pregnancy, sometimes every few days. The better you understand your patterns now, the stronger your foundation for recognizing and responding to change with your care team.
Maybe it's post-meal numbers, stubborn highs, fear around lows, going out of routine, or not feeling confident in how to change your settings. Pregnancy adds new variables to the parts of T1D you're already managing.
Time to figure out what works for your body. Time to strengthen the areas of T1D that still feel unpredictable. Time to practice tighter targets without the pressure of already being pregnant — so when you get a positive test, you're building from a foundation you already trust.
A DIFFERENT WAY IN
It's really hard to white-knuckle your way through pregnancy. The key is building an approach that can flex when your body changes through all 3 trimesters.
Step 01
Work through your relationship to pregnancy with T1D, your relationship to insulin, and all the changes that will come.
Step 02
See what meals, movement, hormones, sleep, and stress do to your blood sugars.
Step 03
More time in range because the patterns changed, not because your life shrank.
Step 04
A routine that still works on a hard week, not only on a perfect one.
Step 05
You've already practiced the skills before the targets get tighter.
HOW IT WORKS
A 12-week small-group coaching experience beginning October 14. This small cohort gives Lauren the ability to be personally involved in your pregnancy prep — starting with your private Pregnancy Prep Assessment — while you also receive support from a Risely coach with lived T1D pregnancy experience.
01
Start with a private 30-minute assessment with Lauren to look at where you are now, identify the biggest gaps between you and pregnancy-ready, and create a clear plan for what to focus on over the next 12 weeks.
02
Six 60-minute coaching calls on Wednesdays at 5:30 PM ET where we'll teach, coach, and work through what's actually happening with your T1D as you prepare for pregnancy. Bring your blood sugar patterns, questions, and real-life situations so we can help you figure out what to adjust and practice.
03
Two additional 30-minute private coaching sessions to go deeper on your individual patterns, routines, challenges, and pregnancy prep plan when you need more personalized support.
04
You’ll have access to Lauren, your Risely coach, and the group between calls so you can ask questions, share what you’re seeing, and get support as you put everything into practice over the full 12 weeks.
05
Your support doesn't suddenly end when you see two lines. You'll have a bonus 30-minute early-pregnancy coaching call to help you work through the transition from pregnancy prep into those first weeks of pregnancy, alongside your medical team.
06
Four core trainings delivered within the group calls, focused on the areas we want you to understand and practice before pregnancy — from preparing for tighter blood sugar targets to understanding changing insulin needs and building the skills you'll rely on once you're pregnant. You'll also get access to additional Risely resources based on what you personally need to work on.
