Over the past two days, I have interviewed six more patients.
Patients 26-29 are all Type 2 diabetic and have normal HbA1c levels ranging from 6.0% to 7.2%. As consistent with most of the Type 2 diabetics that I've surveyed, Patients 26-29 present with no depression symtoms (PHQ-9 score = 0). Patient 30's higher HbA1c than their Type 2, normal-HbA1c counterparts (Patients 26-29) could be responsible for the higher PHQ-9 score as well. In other words, Patient 30 could be presenting more depression symptoms than Patients 26-29 because of Patient 30's lack of maintaining as good diabetic control as Patients 26-29 are. Patient 31 reflects how merely the difference of the type of diabetes, irrespective of all other factors, seems to affect the depression survey score.
