I am a 56-year-old type 1 diabetic. I have been working so hard to get my numbers down and now my A1C is 5.9.

I have lost weight and I am working with another new diabetic who is having a hard time with her diet.

I have other health problems but I control my diabetes. My diabetes doesn’t control me or my life.

Keep fighting and thriving.
