My name is Kristen. I’ve had diabetes for 8 years now. I am totally unmanaged. My A1c is around 12%- extremely to high. I need some advice and some help. All I want to know is your “typical day” for example: what time you wake up, when you check, how much insulin you take, what your insulin to carb ratio, do you exercise(and when), what you eat? Honestly just write me a little story about a day in the life of you (as detailed as possible would really help!) Thanks so much guys!
