Diabetics suffer from depression

Depression is both a cause and effect of diabetes

A study of 272 diabetic patients showed that 60% had depression


Following features were seen

• Physical inactivity
• smoking 
• Alcohol intake
• Albumin in urine

• Poor control of diabetes
• poor quality of life
• Neglect of proper diet

P.S.

• Depression remains unrecognized and hence untreated
• Diabetics will not take professional help
• They are not proactive  
• They do not complain 
• They just accept the problem and do nothing about it.
