I can definitely agree on that - depressed before diagnosed with diabetes. Carb cravings then self loathing for doing it. Teenage girls are the best at it.An article for you.
*****As many as one in every five people with type 1 or 2 diabetes were depressed before they got diabetes, according to a report in Clinical Psychiatry News. This has led researchers to question whether depression may help cause type 2 diabetes in the first place. In a 13-year study of nearly 2,000 people, researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that those who were depressed were more than twice as likely as others to develop the disease. However in a Canadian study, researchers examined the health records of close to 90,000 people over a 12-year period and found that new diagnoses of depression in diabetics and non-diabetics were about the same. The study concluded that type 2 diabetes did not increase the risk of depression. A study of 4,747 subjects in the Netherlands found that patients with diagnosed type 2 diabetes were more likely to suffer from depression than those with undiagnosed diabetes, suggesting instead that depression may be a consequence of the burden of diabetes.*****

We then have the 5 stages of grief that many diabetics go through and one of these is depression. This grief process is related to many negative changes in our lives and can include a diagnosis of a chronic conditions.

I'll relay that to a friend. @Liam1955 . He isnt diagnosed with depression but the NAFLD reference will interest him. So choline deficiency may be a factor in his liver condition. I hope he doesn't mind me tagging him but it could just make a difference for him.Interesting, just ran across another reference to choline deficiency being a factor in fatty liver disease - so choline supplements might also assist people who are suffering from NAFLD/NASH.
For those taking lithium for bipolar disorder, you might find choline supplementation helps:

Also might explain why low carb could be helpful considering that eggs are a good source of choline?
I agree lifestyle, my husband changed his lost 5 stone and diabetes went, suffered a breakdown and depression and effects and medication, type two has returned.I didn't think I was the sort of person who would get MG in fact I'd never even heard of it. Did not consider my self a candidate for diabetes and being diagnosed with an AAA was a complete shock.
Pathogens diseases conditions are forces of nature they are impersonal and don't care one jot what you think
Clinical Depression is an illness and not just about feeling sad you have no say in the matter and it is not under your control unless measures to bring it under control are taken and that will almost certainly require the help of a clinical practitioner and medication if required.
It's not about being a sort of person any more than T2 is just about life style.
My husband had type 2 and with diet and exercise was cleared of it for about 6 years. He then had a breakdown was sectioned, then became depressed tried to commit suicide and is in very poor mental health, guess what the diabetes has returned. Medication for his mental health, poor diet and not enough exercise, is in my opinion, the cause of the return of diabetes type 2.
It's been a tough year with pneumonia and Bell's palsy to recover from. I try to control his diet as much as possible but it is so hard.
So the effects of the depression and the medication for depression and psychosis has caused the type 2.
