Hi James. I have also heard that the management of Diabetes can cause depression, however that has not been my experience. I have battled depression on/off for the last 10yrs, with it becoming particularly bad last year and this year, causing issues with work. Was diagnosed type1 9.5months ago, and I feel that my diabetes has actually helped my depression. I have had some really dark days, but I don't think this is due to being diabetic. My condition motivates me to get out of bed to eat and check my levels. I guess in that regard, there has been a benefit to my diagnosis (not ready to admit that out loud yet lol). Good luck with your survey. X
