People with depression are 60% more likely to develop diabetes

I'm convinced both my depression and diabetes were caused by stress and lack of sleep.  As prior to being diagnosed with both I was leading a very busy and stressful life.  I try and avoid stress as much as possible these days.  My blood pressure has always been good, often much to my amusement - doctors and nurses would see I was over weight and assume I'd have high blood pressure!  My cholesterol is good - interestingly both my mother and one of her brothers, despite being of normal weight, very fit and active and following an excellent diet both have high cholesterol.

I have had depression for 11 years tried many medications but just on vitamins as not found anything that helps does not mix very well with my thyroid medication I hope i do not get diabetes as my 10 year old son has type 1 thats bad enough dealing with that it is a good read as had no clue it was linked you try and keep as healthy as possible and get illnesses and conditions out of your control not fair at times

So much is out of our hands , we do everything we are told eat the right foods exercise whatever.Then out of blue we are told there is new problem and it is so frustrating
