James Smith

Bluely became my lifeline when I felt completely isolated with my diabetes.

After my diagnosis five years ago, I struggled with anxiety and depression that my doctors never addressed. Through Bluely, I found a community that understood both my physical symptoms and emotional challenges. The daily mood tracking helped me identify patterns between my stress levels and glucose readings, while the buddy system connected me with someone who checks in during my difficult days. Having this emotional support system has transformed how I manage my condition.

Grounded in Empathy.
Built for Africa.

While our goal is to support every person with diabetes worldwide, our primary focus is on diabetics in Africa who face significant challenges accessing essential resources and support systems.

Why Africa Needs This

Across many African regions, people with diabetes face critical challenges:

1

Limited mental health resources
With fewer than 1 mental health professional per 100,000 people in many African countries

2

Expensive monitoring tools
CGMs and other diabetes tech are often prohibitively expensive or unavailable

3

Isolation and stigma
Many people manage diabetes alone without adequate peer support networks
