Hi Cassidy,
It's our pleasure to help you. We love doing it. Do let us know how you went with your assignment.
Now how can we help you with your A1C? In our experience (I am being very presumptious in speaking for the group here), we see that many times poor numbers reflect poor teachers / lack of guidance from medical team. There are skills and knowledge that we can help you with so that your numbers will improve.
Maybe you can start a new topic, telling us hwat you normally do to manage your diabetes and then we can give you feedback.

My A1C is currently a 4. something... so I guess that's pretty good, right? :)

Oh, I've had diabetes for a year now... oh my, 12.4 is pretty high. Make sure that you take insulin with your meals okay?? Check your blood glucose all the time, that's what I do. Search the web if you need information on diabetes. Take care.
