Diabetes in college students linked to depression and distress
Diabetes mellitus affects about 10% of the population, and predisposes the affected individual to a host of complications. Thus these patients need to follow a regulated lifestyle, including regular exercise, a low-sugar diet, regular and appropriate use of diabetes medication, self-testing for glucose levels and adjusting medication if used, and scheduled or necessary follow-up with a healthcare provider. These steps are integral to keeping healthy. However, the difficulty of meeting these goals creates frustration, adding to a unique complication of diabetes called diabetes distress. A new study identifies the presence and sequelae of this condition.
