Dancing Pro Rylee Arnold Credits Prayer for Comfort After Diabetes Diagnosis

Rylee Arnold, a 15-year-old from Utah who recently became a professional partner on "Dancing With the Stars," received a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and sought comfort through prayer, a practice she had not previously emphasized. She described feeling an immediate, reassuring voice that everything would be fine, which she interpreted as a message from Heavenly Father. Arnold later shared another incident where an alarm from a missing continuous glucose monitor woke her, leading her to eat a snack and avoid a blood sugar reading of 42, which she also viewed as divine protection.

She believes such moments are meant to help her grow through trials. Arnold’s faith remains central as she competes with partners like Harry Jowsey, Stephen Nedoroscik, and Scott Hoying, and she continues to promote her religious values in interviews and on the show.
