Hi my A1C is 6.7. It seems to be creeping up. I am on a pump. The struggle has been real the last few months and wearing on me. I was just diagnosed with T1D coming up on 3 yrs. Idk if I am coming out of the honeymoon phase or what is going on.

❤️❤️@pattycake has your A1C always been near this and going up? Or have you gotten it down from a higher number and it's going back up? I've found a happy medium with no bread..hard to do lol lemme tell ya
