Description: Did you know that depressed people are more likely to be hit by diabetes and vice versa? Yes, several studies suggest that diabetes doubles the risk of depression and individuals with depression have the greater risk of developing diabetes. People with diabetes go through phases of depression because they undergo a major lifestyle change after being struck by this disease. They have to keep a close eye on their diet; regular visits to doctor and taking medicines become a regular routine to follow for the rest of their lives. The exact reason is not discovered till now but it is suspected that the metabolic changes in the body and brain due to diabetes may induce depression.
