This presentation:
Epidemiological perspective
• Depression in type 2 diabetes: prevalence
• Depression and type 2 diabetes: longitudinal associations
• Depression in type 2 DM: impact on health outcomes
• Stress and diabetes
• New treatments against depression in diabetes
• Conclusions
Diabetes (type 1 or 2) doubles
the odds of depression.

factor for the onset of depression: a systematic review
and meta-analysis. Diabetologia. 2010;53(12):2480-6.
Diabetes type 2: 24% higher risk for
developing depression
Incident and recurrent/persistent depression in people
with DM2 in primary care
Nefs G, Pouwer F, Denollet J, Pop V (2012). Diabetologia;55(3):608-616.
N=2416 people with type 2 diabetes (PoZoB diabetescohort)
Three assessments: 2005, 2007, 2008
High depression score on at least 1 assessment: 26%
Incident depression: 14% (“new” cases of depression in 2007/2008)
66% of those with a high depression score at baseline had a high
depression score in 2007 en/of 2008 (persistent/ recurrent depression).
Thus: best predictor of depression in the future was: a history of depression
Depression in diabetes: underrecognition
by physicians and nurses
Underdetection and undertreatment in  50-60% of the cases with depression
(Penn JV et al 1997, Pouwer et al. 2006)
Intensive education of primary care physicians in recognising and treating depression did
not improve detection and treatment/outcome of depression
(Thompson C et al: Lancet 355: 185-191, 2000).
Use of self-report measures (PHQ-9, CESD, WHO5) increases detection rates of
depression!
Focus on vulnerable patients, e.g. monitor depression in those with a history of
depression.

Depression in diabetes
In the 17th century, the Famous
English physician Thomas Willis
(1621-1675) noted that diabetes
often appeared among patients
who had experienced significant
life stresses, sadness or long
sorrow.

Systematic review and meta-analysis:
All-cause mortality (n=16):
HR=1.46 (95% CI 1.29-1.66)
Cardiovascular mortality
(n=5):
HR=1.39 (95% CI 1.11-1.73)

mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS One. 2013;8(3):e57058.
Stress and diabetes risk• Longitudinal studies
• Chronic stress, sleep problems
and anger: risk factor for the
development of DM2.
• Conflicting results: “childhood
neglect”, “life events”, “work
stress”.
• Fishing?
• Publication-bias?
• We need prospective registration
of publication plans for cohort
studies, analogous to trail
registries
• Research question OK? Methods
OK? Paper should be published
regardless of the results!
Treatment of depression in diabetes
We know that depression can be treated with anti-depressant medication,
and also with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
Are new treatments available?

Web-based CBT therapy against depression in
people with diabetes
www.diabetergestemd.nl
Online CBT against depression in diabetes
Randomized controlled trial (n=255 adults with diabetes and elevated depression
scores).
Internet-CBT was effective
Depression-scores decreased (P = 0.04, d = 0.29; clinical improvement 41% vs.
24% P < 0.001).
Decrease in diabetes-specific emotional distress (P = 0.03)
No effect on HbA1c(P > 0.05).

Mindfulness-therapy against stress and
depression in people with diabetes
Van Son et al, Diabetes Care, 2012
Stepped care for depression and anxiety
in diabetes in primary care is effective
Conclusions:
• Depression is common problem in patients with type 2
diabetes (10-30%)
• Depression is a risk factor for DM2 and its complications
• Chronic Stress is a risk factor for depression/DM2
• Depression in diabetes can be treated with anti-
depressant medication
• New effective treatments are available: online CBT,
mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and stepped care
