BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent diseases all over the world. Prevalence of DM in Turkey is 13.7%. Depression is another condition which has a high prevalence. All over the world, an estimated 300 million people of all ages suffer from depression. The relevance between depression and DM is a well - known condition.AIM: We aimed in this study to find out the prevalence of depression symptoms for DM in an attempt to better manage the disease.METHODS: We preferred the Beck Depression Index (BDI) to evaluate the depression symptoms.RESULTS: The number of patients introduced the study were 171 (101 (59.1%) female). As a results of BDI 67 (39.2%) patients evaluated as normal [29 (28.7%) female], 54 (31.6%) had poor symptoms [35 (34.7%) female], 46 (26.9%) had moderate symptoms [34 (33.7%) female] and lastly only 4(2.3%) had strong symptoms 3 (3.0%) female]. So 50 (29.2%) of patients had median plus strong symptoms. There were statistically significant association between HbA1c stages and depression (P = 0.018).CONCLUSION: Being a patient with DM is a strong indicator that the patient may have a depressive disorder. So the physician who takes care patients with DM should be alert about depression, and the simplest way to accomplish is BDI.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high glycemic levels for long periods. This disease has a high prevalence in the world population, being currently observed an increase in its incidence. This fact is mainly due to the sedentary lifestyle and hypercaloric diets. Non-pharmacological interventions for glycemic control include exercise, which promotes changes in skeletal muscle and adipocytes. Thus, increased glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and decreased insulin resistance through modulating adipocytes are the main factors that improve glycemic control against diabetes. Conclusion: It was sought to elucidate mechanisms involved in the improvement of glycemic control in diabetics in front of the exercise.

<p><strong>Objectives.</strong> Depression is associated with diabetes mellitus and affects treatment goals negatively. We aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and identify its socio-demographic or clinical correlates among patients with diabetes mellitus attending an out-patient clinic in Nigeria.</p><p><strong>Methods.</strong> Two hundred consecutively recruited diabetes patients (index group) were compared with a similar number of apparently healthy controls in a cross-sectional survey. In both groups, in addition to obtaining socio-demographic details, depression was diagnosed using the Schedule for the Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN), while the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to assess depression symptom severity. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Results.</strong> Sixty (30%) diabetes patients met a SCAN diagnosis for clinical depression, compared with 19 (9.5%) in the control group. Having a smaller income and more children were significantly correlated with higher depression symptoms on the BDI.</p><p><strong>Conclusion.</strong> Depression is highly co-morbid with diabetes mellitus. The care of individuals with diabetes mellitus should include the screening and possible treatment for depression in order to achieve and sustain treatment goals.</p>

Out of 362 males screened 22 were suffering from Diabetes mellitus (DM) i.e. prevalence of 6.07%. Whereas out of 688 females screened 28 were suffering from Diabetes mellitus (DM) i.e. prevalence of 4.06%. Prevalence of Diabetes mellitus (DM) in males was found to be maximum in age group of more than 70 years i.e. 6.97% as compare to female i.e.5.29%.Conclusions: Thus, the current study recorded high prevalence of Diabetes mellitus (DM) among rural population which should be a cause of concern for health care providers.

Background: The prevalence of depression is high in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Several studies showed that suitable health behavior and treatment adherance could be factors asociated with low prevalence of depression among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objectives: 1. To investigate the prevalence of depressive disorder using ICD10 clinical criteria among patients with T2DM. 2. To analyze the association between depressive disorder with health behavior, treatment adherence and commorbidities in the participants. Subjects and methods: This is a descriptive cross - sectional study on 210 inpatients with T2DM at the Department of General Internal Medicine, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital and at the Department of Endocrinology - Neurology, Hue Central Hospital. PHQ - 9 with the cutoff of 10 was used to screen depressed patients among participants, then psychiatrists used clinical criteria of ICD 10 to diagnose depression definitively. Patients who were diagnosed with depression according to clinical criteria were analyzed the association between depression with health behavior, treatment adherence and comorbidities by using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of depressive disorder among patients with T2DM assessed by clinical criteria of ICD 10 was 31.4% in which severe (7.6%), moderate (19.5%) and mild depression (4.3%). Health behavior associated with depression in patients with T2DM are light or moderate activities such as practising yoga, walking, riding bicycle ... that help reduce the rate of depression, while working hard or playing heavy sports increases the rate of depression. In addition, patients with 2 or more complications, hypertension and kidney diseases increased the risk of depression in univariate analysis. The multivariate analysis of risk factors for depression were infectious diseases. Conclusion: Depression is found at a high rate among patients with T2DM. Light or moderate physical activity reduces the prevalence of depression. The complications and associated infectious disease are risk factors for depression. . Key words: Depression, type 2 diabetes mellitus, health behavior, comorbidities, treatment adherence
