pvrodriguezJun 15, 2023

I was recently diagnosed with type 1 at the age of 29. My A1C has been 6.4 for the pass 6 months (checked twice ) and remains the same. I’ve contacted Drs in Colombia and Dominican Republic who have turned me down because of it. So can someone with type 1 diabetes get a mommy makeover ?
