Measures of depression and risk of type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Experimental increase of blood glucose alters resting state EEG measures of excitation–inhibition balance

“…In conclusion, BGLs influence neurophysiological measures of resting brain activity in subjects with healthy glucose metabolism. It is estimated that 34.5% of adults in the USA exhibit signs of prediabetes and an additional 10.5% have diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020), and abnormalities in glucose metabolism have been observed in several mental illnesses, including major depression (Graham et al., 2020) and schizophrenia (Bushe & Holt, 2004). Expanding our understanding of how glucose metabolism modulates brain network dynamics will be crucial for determining how such abnormalities interact with diet in various clinical contexts.…”

Psychodynamics in Diabetes: The Relevance of Deepening the Symbolic in Treatment Adherence

“…Minimizing the severity of perceived threats may reduce diabetes distress and contribute to proper glycemic control (Tripathy et al, 2012 ; Marchini et al, 2020 ; Martino et al, 2020a ) (e.g., the patient may claim that he/she is unconcerned about having diabetes as it is not a serious disease). In this regard, compared to healthy controls, patients with diabetes resort to reversal to a greater extent, which appears to help them lessen depressive feelings (Marchini et al, 2020 ) but prevents effective diabetes management (Graham et al, 2020 ; Schmitt et al, 2021 ).…”

“…In this regard, depressive and anxiety symptoms are often reported by patients with diabetes because of the disease-related distress including worry about complications, fear of hypoglycemia, and guilt feelings about uncontrolled blood glucose (Nouwen, 2015 ; Sartorius, 2018 ; Shinkov et al, 2018 ; Wardian et al, 2018 ). Overall, this difficulty complying with the stressful rigors of diabetes and required lifestyle changes tends to worsen glycemic control, resulting in higher hemoglobin A 1c levels and less optimal outcomes (Whithorth et al, 2016 ; Egan et al, 2017 ; Fukuda and Mizobe, 2017 ; Graham et al, 2020 ; Schmitt et al, 2021 ). Therefore, to promote higher patient self-care and treatment adherence, a primary task for healthcare professionals is reducing diabetes distress by improving patients' skills at regulating negative emotions (Coccaro et al, 2021 ).…”

Prävention, Remission oder Verzögerung der Typ-2-Diabetes-Manifestation – Teil 1

“…Es existiert eine bidirektionale Assoziation zwischen Depression und T2D [62][63][64]. Jede der beiden erhöht das Risiko für die andere Erkrankung.…”
