I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 11 . I was in the 5th grade, a month before Halloween. It was a struggle for months and I did get an insulin pump after six months. Over the years as I got older it’s been hard to managed a healthy life with being an adult making it on my own. I started getting a A1C 1 of 12.5 and finally the year of 2023 I got it down to 8.1 — the best I have ever done. I did get some complication with nerve damage and some issues with my eyes but it’s not to late for me to change! That is my main goal for the rest of my life. Eating healthy and maintaining exercise to help with the blood sugars. Eventually having a family one day.
