There are many diabetic patients who are also depressed. And this state may complicate their efforts at managing their diabetes. But, better treatment of their depression seems to have no effect on how they deal with their diabetes!
Diabetics are roughly twice as likely as the general population to have depression, Dr. Elizabeth H. B. Lin and her associates pointed this out in their report in the Annals of Family Medicine. Patients, victims of both the disorders tend to have worse blood sugar control, more severe symptoms and complications due to diabetes, and to use health care resources at a higher rate.
