[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1349142, member: 209498"] I think among many other risk factors (lack of exercise after retirement,ethnicity and family history) my depression contributed to my diabetes as I was comfort eating a lot of sweet stuff and going to the pub most nights and drinking 3-4 pints of beer, self medicating with alcohol. In a way the shock of being diagnosed as diabetic has taken away some of the depression as I am more concerned about the diabetes and putting more effort into controlling it. But I have stayed on the anti-depressant meds as they do help me, and I think that if I went into another episode of depression I would be less able to deal with the diabetes. [/QUOTE]
