Abstract

Prevalence of depressive symptoms and diagnosed depression among subjects with longstanding type 1 diabetes and no serious chronic complications, hospitalized due to inadequate metabolic control of diabetes

Health locus of control and depressive symptoms in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes

“…Comorbid depression in diabetic patients correlates with poorer metabolic control and a higher incidence of diabetic complications [1]. In this study, the average percentage of HbA1c was higher in the group with depressive symptoms, and this difference was statistically significant.…”

“…This chronic somatic disease also greatly affects the mental sphere. Studies have shown that as many as 19.2% of diabetics suffer from depression, and about 56.7% of patients are diagnosed with severe emotional stress that results from the disease and its consequences [1,2]. It is assumed that nearly 1/3 of patients with diagnosed psychological problems do not adhere to medical recommendations, which results in poorer metabolic compensation and numerous complications [3].…”

Hyperprolactinemia and insulin resistance

“…Lowering the level of triglycerides Increased concentration of PRL and resistance of peripheral tissues to insulin often coexist not only with endocrine disorders. We can also observe both irregularities, e.g., while taking antipsychotics [66][67][68][69] (Tab. 3).…”
