Being diagnosed with diabetes in childhood or adolescence can interfere with the normative developmental changes and interact with psychological and social factors in youth and their families. Integrated, collaborative care is therefore necessary (Pediatric Diabetes)

Temporal trends in the prevalence and incidence of depression and the interplay of comorbidities in patients with young- and usual-onset type 2 diabetes from the USA and the UK
Depression risk has been increasing in people with incident type 2 diabetes in the UK and USA, particularly among those with young-onset type 2 diabetes, irrespective of other comorbidities. This suggests that proactive mental health assessment from the time of type 2 diabetes diagnosis in primary care is essential for effective clinical management of people with type 2 diabetes (Diabetologia)
Depression, diabetes, comorbid depression and diabetes and risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a prospective cohort study
We confirmed that depression and diabetes individually are associated with an increased mortality risk and also identified that comorbid depression and diabetes have synergistic effects on the risk of all-cause mortality that are largely driven by deaths from cancer and causes other than circulatory disease and cancer (Diabetologia)
Psychosocial screening in a pediatric diabetes clinic: Adolescents’ and mothers’ perspectives
Study participants valued psychosocial screening and supported addressing mental health as a routine part of diabetes comprehensive care (Pediatric Diabetes)
Risky self-management behaviors in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: Measurement validation for the Diabetes-Specific Risk-Taking Inventory (DSRI)
Overall, initial psychometrics suggest the DSRI is a reliable and valid measure of risks that adolescents may take with their T1D care. This innovative self-report measure has potential to be an actionable clinical tool to screen for high-risk behaviors not routinely assessed in T1D clinical care (Pediatric Diabetes)
The role of mental disorders in precision medicine for diabetes: a narrative review
Overall, this review demonstrates that addressing mental disorders as a facet of precision medicine could have considerable value for routine diabetes care and has the potential to improve diabetes outcomes (Diabetologia)
The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine has direct effects at beta-cells to promote insulin secretion and increase beta-cell mass
These data are consistent with a role for fluoxetine in regulating glucose homeostasis through direct effects at beta-cells. Fluoxetine thus demonstrates promise as a preferential antidepressant for patients with concomitant occurrence of depression and diabetes (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Low serum apelin levels are associated with mild cognitive impairment in Type 2 diabetic patients
Serum apelin level is reduced in T2DM patients with MCI. Apelin might has protective effect against cognitive impairment and serve as a serum biomarker of T2DM (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Coordination of glucose monitoring, self-care behaviour and mental health: achieving precision monitoring in diabetes
Micro-interventions are responsive to real-life circumstances and are adaptive to the specific needs of an individual with diabetes. We conclude that, with current developments in big data analysis, there is a huge potential for precision monitoring in diabetes (Diabetologia)
Achieving diabetes treatment targets in people with registered mental illness is similar or improved compared to those without: analyses of linked observational datasets
People with registered mental illness appear comparable or better able to achieve diabetes treatment targets than those without. Achieving HbA1c targets is influenced by social disadvantage (Diabetic Medicine)
Overestimation and underestimation of youths’ health-related quality of life are associated with youth and caregiver positive screens for depression
Caregivers often over- or underestimated their children’s QoL. Positive screens for depression among both youths and caregivers contributed to the observed differences between self- and caregiver-reported QoL (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
Is it time to consider depression as a major complication of type 2 diabetes? Evidence from a large population-based cohort study
Our findings highlight that depression is associated with an increased risk for complications in type 2 diabetes and mortality and should not be neglected (Acta Diabetologica)
Activation of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Ameliorates Cognitive Decline in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Through a Metabolism‐Independent Pathway
We concluded that liraglutide improves cognitive decline in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (Journal of the American Academy of Heart Association)
Comprehensive Psychosocial Screening in a Pediatric Diabetes Clinic
Comprehensive psychosocial screening can be effectively implemented as part of routine pediatric diabetes care and can identify adolescents in need of additional supports (Pediatric Diabetes)
Antidiabetes Agents and Incident Depression: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Real-life population-based data suggest a positive effect of metformin on depression rates. This evidence should be used in guiding prescriptions for patients with type 2 diabetes who are at risk for developing depression, including those with prior depression or anxiety and patients with a family history of depression (Diabetes Care)
Diabetes distress and HbA1c in racially/ethnically and socioeconomically diverse youth with type 1 diabetes
Diabetes distress is elevated in a younger population of children with T1D who are from racial/ethnic minority backgroundsor have markers of lower SES (Pediatric Diabetes)
Sociodemographic disparities in non‐diabetic hyperglycaemia and the transition to type 2 diabetes: evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
There were socio‐economic differences in NDH prevalence, transition to type 2 diabetes and transition to NDH low‐risk status. Disparities in transitions included the greater likelihood of disadvantaged social groups with NDH developing type 2 diabetes and greater likelihood of advantaged social groups with NDH becoming low‐risk (Diabetic Medicine)
Depression in type 1 diabetes and risk of dementia
For people with T1D, depression significantly increases dementia risk. Given the pervasiveness of depression in T1D, this has major implications for successful aging in this population recently living to old age (Aging & Mental Health)
Excess Burden of Mental Illness and Hospitalization in Young-Onset Type 2 Diabetes: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Adults with YOD have excess hospitalizations across their lifespan compared with persons with usual-onset T2D, including an unexpectedly large burden of mental illness in young adulthood. Efforts to prevent YOD and intensify cardiometabolic risk factor control while focusing on mental health are urgently needed (Annals of Internal Medicine)
Excess mortality in Finnish diabetic subjects due to alcohol, accidents and suicide: a nationwide study
The findings from this large nationwide cohort indicate higher mortality attributable to suicide, alcohol-related causes and accidents among diabetic patients than among the non-diabetic population. The results emphasize the importance of effective psychosocial interventions among high-risk diabetic patients (EJE)
