[QUOTE="BrianTheElder, post: 1353399, member: 311044"] Obviously, anyone that has a chronic illness will be depressed, just as anyone who suffers a loss. But life is like that... I don't know of any connection between clinical depression and diabetes. Clinical depression affects the hormones in your brain such as serotonin and noradrenalin and they [U]may[/U] be affected by blood sugar, but I don't know of any mechanism that would make one cause the other in either direction. Conversely, as a sufferer of clinical depression, all I can do is keep taking the tablets and try to take events such as diabetes and grief in my stride. The best solution in my opinion is to get up and do something. Go for a walk. Start a new diet. Just do something! [/QUOTE]
