There is so much press about depression causing people to do things that often hurt others. These actions are often the result of stress caused by both past and present experiences. 

For years we have always felt that diabetes causes depression, and the life long stress of managing the disease intensifies that stress. This week Steve sat down with Mary de Groot to discuss the difference between depression and diabetes distress, and how to help your patients through both.

Breastfeeding (BF) may protect against obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus in children exposed to maternal diabetes in utero.

Identical food may reflect different post meal blood glucose levels in different individuals.

Immediate, intensive treatment for newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes may be necessary to avoid irreversible long-term risk for diabetic complications and mortality.

In this Exclusive Interview, Mary de Groot talks with Diabetes in Control Publisher Steve Freed during the ADA 2018 convention in Orlando about why people with diabetes have higher rates of depression, how depression differs from diabetes distress, and the effect of depression on diabetes management.
