I have always been a moody, sensitive person. However I did not feel the true affects of depression and anxiety till my late 20's, chronic pain and changes within my family really set the ball rolling. I am also now aware of how diabetes impacts mental health.

"Depression occurrence is two to three times higher in people with diabetes mellitus, the majority of the cases remaining under-diagnosed."

"Though the relationship between diabetes and depression isn't fully understood:
-The rigors of managing diabetes can be stressful and lead to symptoms of depression.
-Diabetes can cause complications and health problems that may worsen symptoms of depression.
-Depression can lead to poor lifestyle decisions, such as unhealthy eating, less exercise, smoking and weight gain — all of which are risk factors for diabetes.
-Depression affects your ability to perform tasks, communicate and think clearly. This can interfere with your ability to successfully manage diabetes."
Like anything in life, there is always a cause and effect.
