| description | The purpose of this review article was to examine the empirical evidence supporting depression as a risk factor for diabetes complications and associated burden. A database search using keywords located recent clinical and population studies addressing the association between depression and type 2 diabetes. Both cross-sectional and cohort studies were reviewed. Depression appears to exacerbate the progression of type 2 diabetes. The evidence is strong supporting the hypothesis that depression in persons with diabetes increases the risk of diabetes-related burden, including suboptimal glycemic control, complications, functionality, mortality, and health care utilization. Screening for depression among patients with diabetes should be increased in primary care. Newer approaches to diabetes care management may help to slow the progression of diabetes. |
