U Got This! stands for empowerment, equity, and transformation.We’re not just teaching better health—we’re helping people build better lives.
A Diabetes Wellness Initiative
Take control of your health, learn your body, and be part of a community that supports your journey.
If you’re an adult in the African-American community living with diabetes—or aiming to prevent it by making meaningful lifestyle shifts—this program is designed for you. We welcome you, support you, and walk the journey with you.
WHO WE ARE
Empowering the Community to Take Control of Health
U Got This! is more than a wellness program—it’s a movement.
We’re here to help members of the African American community take charge of their health, build confidence, and gain the tools to manage or prevent diabetes through real education, modern technology, and personal support. Our mission is simple: to close the health gap by combining innovation, connection, and care that meets people where they are.
For too long, diabetes and related chronic illnesses have impacted our community at higher rates—while access to quality resources and culturally aware support has remained low. We’re changing that story.
U Got This! was built to bring awareness, access, and action together.
Through education, wellness coaching, and cutting-edge tools like continuous glucose monitoring, we help people understand their bodies, make informed choices, and see progress in real time.
Personalized Support: You’re paired with a dedicated wellness coach who listens, encourages, and helps create a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Smart Technology: Our continuous glucose monitoring system gives you instant insights—no finger-sticks, just clear feedback that helps you take control.
Community Connection: You’ll join a supportive network of peers on the same journey, because we’re stronger together.
Real Change: We focus on sustainable habits that last—small steps that add up to big progress.

OUR PROGRAM
Why Join U Got This!
Diabetes and related chronic conditions disproportionately affect communities that often lack access to the latest resources, support, and education. That gap becomes a barrier — but we’re here to close it. We help raise awareness around healthy choices, how diabetes works, and how the everyday things we do—from movement to meals—matter.
- One-on-one support with a dedicated wellness coach — someone who understands your story and helps craft a plan that works for you.
- Access to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology — a wearable sensor you scan for real-time insights into how your body’s doing, no finger-sticks required.
- Regular meetings, accountability, and a community of folks going through the same journey — because change happens when you’re supported and seen.
Is A Continuous Glucose Monitoring System For You?
We’re breaking down the technology and health-care barriers that have long held too many back — bringing advanced tools and care right to those who’ve been underserved.
Say Goodbye to Finger Pricks!
CGM provides real-time glucose readings throughout the day and night. Small, wearable CGM devices replace the finger sticks of traditional blood glucose testing. Most CGM sensors are tiny self-applied devices that sit partially beneath the skin. They come with an inserter and have built-in adhesive to help them stick to your skin. Easily check your glucose levels with a painless 3,5 one-second scan instead of a finger stick.
The sensor measures glucose levels at regular intervals and stores the readings. A handheld reader allows you to scan the glucose sensor to collect your information. You may be able to use a smartphone app so that you don’t have to carry around an extra device. CGM gives you a view of your glucose levels over time; it can help you keep track of past glucose levels and provide insights into future trends.
Rather than taking glucose readings from your blood, CGM sensor readings are taken from interstitial fluid, a thin layer of fluid that surrounds the tissue cells below your skin. As carbohydrates are digested, glucose enters your bloodstream before it is absorbed into the interstitial fluid. Now with optional, real-time glucose alarms that notify you if you go too low or too high.

The FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor lets you see your glucose levels in real time so you can make more confident choices and lower your A1C.
