[QUOTE="nmr1991, post: 936320, member: 35685"] i've ran this high for some months now. well the first high hba1c i got was about 9% which was in october 2012, so it sort of went up from there, going up by 3% each year until the hospital nurse gave me a reading in July that couldn't be read by their machine. I guess I just lose all motivation to test glucose/inject insulin. depression takes over and i'm no longer in control of my actions. It's not about being happy, i don't live happy because I have no job, no income, borderline homeless, doctors keep referring me to hospital as they seem to think its doing some good, DSN keeps lecturing me on the complications resulting on HbA1c being dangerously high, and as it can't be recognised on their machines it could may as well be at 20% by now. I've not got any complications yet, but even if i do, whether it be retinopathy, nerve damage, renal failure or amputation, I still wouldn't be phased by any of it, depression in a way eliminates denial, fear and death from your mind, and you're practically a walking dead man.
