[QUOTE="Ushthetaff, post: 2451296, member: 429002"] There are definitely other factors as you have said which can result in poor control, but in my case it was definitely my own doing ! And my poor control resulted in some of the reasons for poor control, high blood pressure being one , the main reason for my poor control was not taking my blood sugar , it was like guessing what my blood sugar was and saying “ that’ll be enough insulin , hmm doesn’t really work does it ? As I found out , having a HB1ac above 95 for many years will take a toll, I was lucky, I was very fit, it saved my life , there were mitigating circumstances , difficult to take blood sugars at work due to industry I was in , etc etc but at the end of the day I was reckless ! Invincible , young lol , but now I’m older , wiser ( sometimes) and appreciate life a bit more , so I’ve “ screwed the nut “ and now respect my diabetes far more than I did , I don’t let it rule my life but we get on in more harmony now than we did and it works.it’s taken a lot of lessons and learning to get where I am today but hey that’s life a journey of mistakes , experiences and education [/QUOTE]
