54. “911 was called - I was in a diabetic coma” : The story of being saved and saving herself with Karen Cajuste-Smith

This week, Lauren sits down with past graduate of Risley Coaching, Kaycee to share her story about how she went from a diabetic coma to a place of T1D empowerment and confidence that she never thought was possible.

We talk about...

• How her boys saved her from a near-death experience
• How she includes her two sons in her treatments and educates them on diabetes
• How hitting rock bottom made it clear that she could no longer go on managing her diabetes the way she’d been.
• Where and how she found hope and the support she needed
• The exact steps she took to get her A1C from a 14 to a self healthy range. 
• The tips she would give others who are feeling lost and hopeless with their diabetes.
