Diabetes (type 1 and type 2) was not only able to cause serious physical health problems. Disturbances in blood sugar levels also founded can influence emotions, which in turn disrupt the control of diabetes itself.
Recent research in United States indicated that the soaring sugar levels in extreme can lead to significant changes in mood. In fact, the findings also suggest that changes in blood sugar levels frequently (called the glycemic variability) can also affect the condition and quality of life of diabetic patients.
Diabetes, especially type 2, has long been associated with depression. But so far, has not been clear how they affect each other. Does depression lead to diabetes or diabetes cause people to experience depression. Recent studies in patients with type 1 diabetes found that increased blood sugar levels at a particular time period may trigger the production of hormones associated with the development of depression.
