[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2082268, member: 372717"] Look I've been T1 for 49 years and I've only had hba1cs in the 6s when I was pregnant (OK, my last one was 48 but that's an exception). I find it very very unlikely that you're getting significant complications after just two years and not too bad levels. (OK,I may be lucky but I can't be that lucky). You need to see your doctor: depression is an cruel illness suffered by many many people (not just diabetics). There's no shame in asking for help and at your age your whole life (and it can be a healthy one) is ahead of you. Lots to look forward to and though diabetes is an almighty pain there's no need for it to stop you from doing anything or to make you live in fear. Edited to add: not saying all your symptoms are caused by depression, but just that they may not be caused by diabetes. It's easy to assume that all illnesses are diabetic complications, whereas non-diabetics get plenty of illnesses too. Lots of hugs. [/QUOTE]
