My Story
A diagnosis that
changed everything
I got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and on day one someone handed me a CGM and said "try to stay in range." Nobody walked me through what that actually meant — what spiked me, what dropped me, why the same dinner hit differently on different days. I just watched the numbers and guessed.
I'm a product person by trade. My job is to look at a messy system, figure out where the information is, and build something that helps people make sense of it. The gap I kept running into with T1D tools was obvious: the data was there, the CGM was generating it constantly, but nothing was actually helping me understand it in plain terms.
That's where the Time In Range Project started. And that's where Betawise came from — a product built to give T1D patients a clearer read on their own data, without needing a clinical background to interpret it.
Every feature comes from a real moment I've had — a confusing spike, an unexplained low, a week where things clicked and I wanted to know why. That's the whole point.
"Nobody walked me through what staying in range actually meant. I just watched the numbers and guessed."
CGMs produce a reading every five minutes, all day, every day. That's hundreds of data points — and most T1D patients have no good way to see patterns across them or know what to do next.
The product coming out of this project. Built to surface what your CGM data is actually telling you — in plain language, without the clinical jargon — so you can make better decisions day to day.
Because I wanted it to exist and it didn't. Every hour spent out of range has a cost. Better tools change that — not just for me, but for the 1.6 million other Americans with T1D.
