[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1068509, member: 11028"] Depression is well known to make diabetes control difficult to achieve Nicola: [SIZE=5][B]How can depression affect my diabetes?[/B][/SIZE] Depression can affect a patient's capacity to deal with their diabetes, including [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html']managing blood glucose levels[/URL] appropriately. Research has found that people who suffer from both diabetes and depression have poorer metabolic and glycemic control which has, in turn, been found to intensify symptoms of depression. [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/references.html#31'][31][/URL] Additionally, anti-depressants have been found to have hypoglycaemic effects causing serious problems for self-management. It has previously been reported that depressed people with diabetes are less likely to adherence to medication and diet regimens and subsequently have a reduction in quality of life and increased health care expenditure. [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-and-depression.html[/URL] [USER=83869]@ohitsnicola[/USER], take great satisfaction that your HbA1c is coming down so is heading in the right direction, good luck with the pregnancy and hope all goes well.
