Correlation between inflammatory biomarkers, cognitive function and glycemic and lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Biochem 2023; 121-122:110683. [PMID: 37939987 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2023.110683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to quantitatively estimate the correlation between systemic inflammation with cognitive function, as well as glycemic and lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and CBM databases were searched from its inception until June 2023 (PROSPERO registration: CRD42022356889). We analyzed data extracted from observational studies to quantify the correlations (r) as the pooled effect size and further performed subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses. A total of 32 studies involving 7,483 patients with T2DM were included. The findings revealed a significant moderate negative correlation between interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores. TNF-α levels also had moderate negative correlation with Mini-Mental State Examination scores. For glycemic and lipid profiles, there was a significant moderate positive correlation between CRP and TNF-α levels and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and TNF-α levels were also found to be lowly positively correlated with fasting blood glucose (FBG). CRP levels were found to have a low positive correlation with total cholesterol (TC), and IL-6 levels were found to be lowly positively correlated with triglycerides. The results indicate that elevated levels of IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α are significantly associated with cognitive impairment in patients with T2DM and may serve as inflammatory markers for T2DM with mild cognitive impairment. The CRP and TNF-α levels were more strongly correlated with HbA1c than with FBG and TC. Further research is needed to determine the clinical value of these inflammatory biomarkers and to investigate potential causal mechanisms underlying this association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited evidence exists about the prevalence and incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in individuals with diabetes in the U.S. We aimed to address such knowledge gaps using a nationally representative study dataset. METHOD We conducted a secondary analysis from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) (1996-2018). The sample for examining the prevalence of MCI was14,988, with 4192 (28.0%) having diabetes, while the sample for the incidence was 21,824, with 1534 (28.0%) having diabetes. RESULTS Participants with diabetes had a higher prevalence of MCI than those without diabetes (19.9 % vs. 14.8 %; odds ratio [95 % confidence interval] (OR[95 %CI]): 1.468 [1.337, 1.611], p <.001). The incidence of MCI in participants with/without newly diagnosed diabetes was 42.9 % vs. 31.6 % after a mean 10-year follow-up, with the incidence rate ratio (IRR) [95 %CI] (1.314 [1.213, 1.424], p <.001). Newly diagnosed diabetes was associated with elevated risks of MCI compared with non-diabetes, with the uncontrolled hazard ratio (HR) [95 %CI] (1.498 [1.405, 1.597], p <.001). CONCLUSIONS Using a nationally representative study data in the U.S., participants with diabetes had a higher prevalence and incidence of MCI than those without diabetes. Findings show the importance of developing interventions tailored to the needs of individuals with diabetes and cognitive impairment.

Abstract
People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Systemic inflammation has been proposed as a common risk factor. This study aimed to summarize the clinical data pertaining to peripheral blood inflammatory markers. We identified original peer-reviewed articles reporting blood inflammatory marker concentrations in groups of people with a T2DM diagnosis who have cognitive impairment (CI; including mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, vascular cognitive impairment) vs. normal cognition (NC). Between-group standardized mean differences (SMD) were summarized in random effects meta-analyses. From 2108 records, data were combined quantitatively from 40 studies. Concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6; NCI/NNC = 934/3154, SMD 0.74 95% confidence interval [0.07, 1.42], Z5 = 2.15, p = 0.03; I2 = 98.08%), C-reactive protein (CRP; NCI/NNC = 1610/4363, SMD 0.80 [0.50, 1.11], Z14 = 5.25, p < 0.01; I2 = 94.59%), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1; NCI/NNC = 104/1063, SMD 1.64 95% confidence interval [0.21, 3.07], Z2 = 2.25, p = 0.02; I2 = 95.19%), and advanced glycation end products (AGEs; NCI/NNC = 227/317, SMD 0.84 95% confidence interval [0.41, 1.27], Z2 = 3.82, p < 0.01; I2 = 81.07%) were higher among CI groups compared to NC. Brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) concentrations were significantly lower in CI compared to NC (NCI/NNC = 848/2063, SMD -0.67 95% confidence interval [-0.99, -0.35], Z3 = -4.09, p < 0.01; I2 = 89.20%). Cognitive impairment among people with T2DM was associated with systemic inflammation and lower BDNF concentrations. These inflammatory characteristics support an increased inflammatory-vascular interaction associated with cognitive impairment in T2DM. PROSPERO (CRD42020188625).

Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e28187. [PMID: 34941076 PMCID: PMC8702091 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000028187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) has a decline in the ability of learning, memory, understanding and execution, which seriously interferes with the daily life of patients. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important risk factor for VCI. In recent years, the pathogenesis and treatment of VCI with T2DM have become a research hotspot. Acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy plays an important role in the treatment of various functional disorders of cerebrovascular diseases. In the previous study of the research group, it has been proved from the perspective of imaging that acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy can improve the cognitive function of patients with ischemic stroke. Based on the previous research results, we speculate that acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy not only improves the function of cognitive-related brain regions, but also affects its structure, as well as serum biomarkers highly related to T2DM and cognitive function. METHODS/DESIGN A partial randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, between July 1, 2021 and December 31, 2023. A total of 80 subjects will participate in the trial, including 25 healthy volunteers, 25 T2DM patients with normal cognitive function and 30 VCI patients with T2DM. They will all have at least 1 functional magnetic resonance imaging scan. Through the calculation and analysis of voxel-based morphological analysis indexes, the changes of hippocampal volume and function in the 3 groups are compared, so as to confirm the correlation between hippocampal structural and functional changes, between T2DM patients and healthy volunteers, as well as T2DM patients with normal cognitive and VCI patients with T2DM. Then the VCI patients with T2DM were randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group was given routine drug treatment to control blood sugar and improve cognitive function, and the experimental group was treated with acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on the basis of the control group. Patients in both groups will receive serum biomarkers (superoxide organic dismutase, maleic dialdehyde, brain-derived neurotrophic factor) detection and neuropsychological scale (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Webster Memory Scale IV Chinese version (adult version), functional independent measurement) evaluation before treatment, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after treatment. The functional magnetic resonance imaging scan will be performed again after 12 weeks of treatment. To observe the effect of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on cognitive function of VCI patients with T2DM. DISCUSSION This trial can clarify the effect of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on hippocampal volume and its intervention mechanism on oxidative stress injury in VCI patients with T2DM, and clarify the scientific connotation of its neuroprotective mechanism in the VCI patients with T2DM, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy in the treatment of VCI.

Three-dimensional-arterial spin labeling perfusion correlation with diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction and vascular endothelial growth factor in type 2 diabetes mellitus rat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been strongly associated with an increased risk of developing cognitive dysfunction and dementia. The mechanisms of diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction (DACD) have not been fully elucidated to date. Some studies proved lower cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the hippocampus was associated with poor executive function and memory in T2DM. Increasing evidence showed that diabetes leads to abnormal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and CBF changes in humans and animal models. In this study, we hypothesized that DACD was correlated with CBF alteration as measured by three-dimensional (3D) arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) and VEGF expression in the hippocampus.
AIM To assess the correlation between CBF (measured by 3D-ASL and VEGF expression) and DACD in a rat model of T2DM.
METHODS Forty Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into control and T2DM groups. The T2DM group was established by feeding rats a high-fat diet and glucose to induce impaired glucose tolerance and then injecting them with streptozotocin to induce T2DM. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze experiment. The CBF changes were measured by 3D-ASL magnetic resonance imaging. VEGF expression was determined using immunofluorescence.
RESULTS The escape latency time significantly reduced 15 wk after streptozotocin injection in the T2DM group. The total distance traveled was longer in the T2DM group; also, the platform was crossed fewer times. The percentage of distance in the target zone significantly decreased. CBF decreased in the bilateral hippocampus in the T2DM group. No difference was found between the right CBF value and the left CBF value in the T2DM group. The VEGF expression level in the hippocampus was lower in the T2DM group and correlated with the CBF value. The escape latency negatively correlated with the CBF value. The number of rats crossing the platform positively correlated with the CBF value.
CONCLUSION Low CBF in the hippocampus and decreased VEGF expression might be crucial in DACD. CBF measured by 3D-ASL might serve as a noninvasive imaging biomarker for cognitive impairment associated with T2DM.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes increases the risk of developing cognitive dysfunction in the elderly in the form of short-term memory and executive function impairment. Genetic and diet-induced models of type 2 diabetes further support this link, displaying deficits in working memory, learning, and memory performance. The risk factors for diabetic cognitive dysfunction include vascular disease, hypoglycaemia, hyperlipidaemia, adiposity, insulin resistance, lifestyle factors, and genetic factors. Using neuronal imaging technologies, diabetic patients with cognitive dysfunction show atrophy of the whole brain, particularly the grey matter, hippocampus and amygdala; increased volume of the ventricular and white matter; brain infarcts; impaired network integrity; abnormal microstructure; and reduced cerebral blood flow and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations. The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes with cognitive dysfunction involves hyperglycaemia, macrovascular and microvascular diseases, insulin resistance, inflammation, apoptosis, and disorders of neurotransmitters. Large clinical trials may offer further proof of biomarkers and risk factors for diabetic cognitive dysfunction. Advanced neuronal imaging technologies and novel disease animal models will assist in elucidating the precise pathogenesis and to provide better therapeutic interventions and treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) have a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment and inferior cognitive performance than the general population, and those with cognitive impairment are at higher risk of death than those without cognitive impairment. Having diabetes has been associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline in end-stage kidney disease patients treated with peritoneal dialysis or kidney transplant. However, these findings may not extend to the hemodialysis population. Thus, we aim to investigate the relationship between having diabetes and cognitive function in MHD patients. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 203 patients treated with MHD from two blood purification centers were enrolled as subjects. The Chinese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was utilized to assess cognitive function. RESULTS MHD patients with diabetes had a significantly higher prevalence of global cognitive impairment and inferior performance in global cognition, visuospatial/executive function, naming, language, abstraction and orientation tasks compared with those without diabetes. According to the multiple linear analyses, having diabetes was significantly associated with lower global cognitive function, naming, and language scores, with β coefficients and 95% CIs of -1.30 [ -2.59, -0.01], -0.25 [-0.47, -0.02], and -0.32 [-0.58, -0.07], respectively (all P < 0.05). Having diabetes could not independently predict an increased risk of global cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS In MHD patients, having diabetes is significantly associated with lower cognitive function scores. Medical staff should evaluate early and focus on the decline of cognitive function in MHD patients with diabetes, in order to achieve early diagnosis and early intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to investigate the differences in the intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) of the primary visual cortex (V1), based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), between patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and healthy controls (HCs). METHODS In total, 26 patients (12 males, 14 females) with PDR and 26 HCs (12 males, 14 females), matched for sex, age, and education status, were enrolled in the study. All individuals underwent rs-fMRI scans. We acquired iFC maps and compared the differences between PDR patients and the HCs. RESULTS The PDR group had significantly increased FC between the left V1 and the right middle frontal gyrus (RMFG), and significantly reduced FC between the left V1 and the cuneus/calcarine/precuneus. In addition, the PDR patients had significantly increased FC between the right V1 and the right superior frontal gyrus (RSFG), and significantly reduced FC between the right V1 and the cuneus/calcarine/precuneus. The individual areas under the curve (AUCs) of FC values for the left V1 were as follows: RMFG (0.871, p < 0.001) and the cuneus/calcarine/precuneus (0.914, p < 0.001), while the AUCs of FC values for the right V1 were as follows: RSFG (0.895, p < 0.001) and the cuneus/calcarine/precuneus (0.918, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated that, in PDR patients, altered iFC in distinct brain regions, including regions related to visual information processing and cognition. Considering the rise in the diabetes mellitus incidence rate and the consequences of PDR, the results could provide promising clues for exploring the neural mechanisms related to PDR and possible approaches for the early identification of PDR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the association between white matter lesions (WML) and diabetes-associated cognitive decline (DACD) in rat models of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into 4 groups: control, control+metformin, T2DM, and T2DM+metformin groups. The T2DM groups were fed a diet high in fat and glucose to induce impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and then were injected with streptozotocin to induce T2DM. The Morris water maze test was used to evaluate cognitive function. Brain diffusion tensor imaging scans were performed for WML. The expression of myelin basic protein (MBP), oligodendrocyte transcription factor 1 (OLIG1), and OLIG2 (markers of brain damage and repair) was determined using immunofluorescence. After IGT, the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the right thalamus area were significantly lower in both T2DM groups compared with controls. RESULTS Eight weeks after streptozotocin injection, the FA values of the thalamus were lower in the T2DM (bilateral thalamus) group and T2DM+metformin (left thalamus) group than in controls, while the FA values in the left thalamus area were lower in the T2DM+metformin group than in the control and control+metformin groups. The maze escape latency was longer and the number of rats passing through the platform was smaller in the T2DM and T2DM+metformin groups than in the control group. MBP levels were lower and OLIG1 and OLIG2 levels were higher in both T2DM groups than in controls. CONCLUSIONS WML is associated with DACD and appears before the onset of T2DM and signs of DACD and plays a role in diabetes-associated cognitive decline. Metformin reduces WMLs but does not rescue cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder that affects multiple organ systems. DM also affects brain processes, contributing to various CNS disorders, including depression, anxiety and Alzheimer's disease. Despite active research in humans, rodent models and in-vitro systems, the pathogenetic link between DM and brain disorders remains poorly understood. Novel translational models and new model organisms are therefore essential to more fully study the impact of DM on CNS. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a powerful novel model species to study metabolic and CNS disorders. Here, we discuss how DM alters brain functions and behavior in zebrafish, and summarize their translational relevance to studying DM-related CNS pathogenesis in humans. We recognize the growing utility of zebrafish models in translational DM research, as they continue to improve our understanding of different brain pathologies associated with DM, and may foster the discovery of drugs that prevent or treat these diseases.

Increased Ratio of Global O-GlcNAcylation to Tau Phosphorylation at Thr212 Site Is Associated With Better Memory Function in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes. Front Physiol 2019; 10:110. [PMID: 30837891 PMCID: PMC6382671 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.00110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2018] [Accepted: 01/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Aberrant O-GlcNAc modification has been implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases via competition with tau phosphorylation. We aimed to investigate the association between global O-GlcNAcylation, tau phosphorylation levels and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the whole blood of patients with T2DM. Methods: Sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and cognitive performances of the enrolled T2DM subjects were extensively assessed. Global O-GlcNAcylation and tau phosphorylation levels in the whole blood were also determined using Western blot. Results: Forty-eight T2DM subjects, including 24 with MCI and 24 with normal cognition, were enrolled in this study. Compared with cognitively normal controls, T2DM with MCI subjects displayed decreased global O-GlcNAcylation level, but increased tau phosphorylation levels (all p < 0.05). To reflect the combined effect, the ratios of global O-GlcNAcylation to tau phosphorylation levels, including specific sites, such as Ser396, Ser404, Thr212, and Thr231, were all significantly decreased in MCI subjects (all p < 0.05). Further multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that high glycated hemoglobin A1c was an independent risk factor, whereas increased O-GlcNAc/p-T212 was an independent protective factor for MCI in patients with T2DM (odds ratio [OR] = 2.452, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.061–5.668, p = 0.036; OR = 0.028, 95%CI 0.002–0.388, p = 0.008, respectively). With regard to each cognitive domain, O-GlcNAc/p-T212 was positively correlated with the score of Auditory Verbal Learning Test-delayed recall (r = 0.377, p = 0.010). Conclusion: Our study suggests that increased ratio of global O-GlcNAcylation to tau phosphorylation at Thr212 site in the whole blood is associated with decreased risk of MCI, especially with better memory function in T2DM subjects.

Early effects of a high-caloric diet and physical exercise on brain volumetry and behavior: a combined MRI and histology study in mice. Brain Imaging Behav 2018; 11:1385-1396.

Abstract
Excessive intake of high-caloric diets as well as subsequent development of obesity and diabetes mellitus may exert a wide range of unfavorable effects on the central nervous system (CNS) in the long-term. The potentially harmful effects of such diets were suggested to be mitigated by physical exercise. Here, we conducted a study investigating early effects of a cafeteria-diet on gray and white brain matter volume by means of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and region-of-interest (ROI) analysis. Half of the mice performed voluntary wheel running to study if regular physical exercise prevents unfavorable effects of a cafeteria-diet. In addition, histological analyses for myelination and neurogenesis were performed. As expected, wheel running resulted in a significant increase of gray matter volume in the CA1-3 areas, the dentate gyrus and stratum granulosum of the hippocampus in the VBM analysis, while a positive effect of the cafeteria-diet was shown for the whole hippocampal CA1-3 area only in the ROI analysis, indicating a regional volume effect. It was earlier found that hippocampal neurogenesis may be related to volume increases after exercise. Interestingly, while running resulted in a significant increase in neurogenesis assessed by doublecortin (DCX)-labeling, this was not true for cafeteria diet. This indicates different underlying mechanisms for gray matter increase. Moreover, animals receiving cafeteria diet only showed mild deficits in long-term memory assessed by the puzzle-box paradigm, while executive functioning and short term memory were not affected. Our data therefore highlight that high caloric diet impacts on the brain and behavior. Physical exercise seems not to interact with these mechanisms.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is considered as an important factor for cognitive decline and dementia in recent years. However, cognitive impairment in diabetic patients is often underestimated and kept undiagnosed, leading to thousands of diabetic patients suffering from worsening memory. Available reviews in this field were limited and not comprehensive enough. Thus, the present review aimed to summarize all available clinical studies on diabetic patients with cognitive decline, and to find valuable biomarkers that might be applied as diagnostic and therapeutic targets of cognitive impairment in diabetes. The biomarkers or risk factors of cognitive decline in diabetic patients could be classified into the following three aspects: serum molecules or relevant complications, functional or metabolic changes by neuroimaging tools, and genetic variants. Specifically, factors related to poor glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, comorbid depression, micro-/macrovascular complications, adipokines, neurotrophic molecules and Tau protein presented significant changes in diabetic patients with cognitive decline. Besides, neuroimaging platform could provide more clues on the structural, functional and metabolic changes during the cognitive decline progression of diabetic patients. Genetic factors related to cognitive decline showed inconsistency based on the limited studies. Future studies might apply above biomarkers as diagnostic and treatment targets in a large population, and regulation of these parameters might shed light on a more valuable, sensitive and specific strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive decline in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Although type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-recognized risk factor for dementia, the neural mechanisms that underlying cognitive impairment in T2DM remain unclear. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during a computerized version of the Iowa Gambling Task to investigate the neural basis of decision making at the initial onset stage of T2DM. Eighteen newly diagnosed middle-aged T2DM patients, with no previous diabetic treatment history, and 18 matched controls were recruited. Results indicated that T2DM patients made more disadvantageous decisions than controls. Compared to healthy subjects, T2DM patients showed decreased activation in the ventral medial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and anterior cingulate cortex, and increased activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, insula and occipital lobes. IGT performance positively correlated with changes in brain activation in the VMPFC and OFC in both groups. Moreover, poor glycemic control was associated with decision-making function both in behavioral and brain activity in the VMPFC and OFC in patients. Conclusively, T2DM patients may suffer from weaknesses in their prefrontal cortex functions that lead to poorer decision-making under ambiguity, at least as assessed by the IGT.

Abstract
Depression and diabetes are independent risk factors for one another, and both are associated with increased risk of cognitive decline. Diabetes patients with lower cognitive function are more likely to suffer poorer health outcomes. However, the role of depression in cognitive decline among people with diabetes is not well understood. This systematic review assessed whether adults with comorbid diabetes and depression or depressive symptoms exhibit greater cognitive decline relative to individuals with diabetes alone. Searches were run in CINAHL, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and PubMed (MEDLINE) with no time or language restrictions. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were of any quantitative study design, included participants aged 18 years or older with diabetes mellitus of which some must have presented with current depression, and measured cognition as an outcome. The Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies–of Interventions tool was used for quality assessment of each study and its collected outcome. Fifteen articles were included in the final analysis. The high degree of heterogeneity in exposures, outcomes, and participant characteristics precluded a meta-analysis of any of the studies, and the risk of bias observed in these studies limits the strength of the evidence. Nonetheless, this review found the presence of comorbid depression was associated with poorer cognitive outcomes than for persons with diabetes alone. While large-scale preventive efforts must address epidemic levels of diabetes and its comorbidities, on the patient level healthcare professionals must be cognizant of the added difficulties that depression poses to patients and the extra support required to management diabetes in these cases. This systematic review is registered with the University of York Centre for Reviews and Dissemination under registration number 2015:CRD42015025122.
