Diabetes: Diabetes and depression are significant conditions that require ongoing and regular doctor visits, blood tests, and medications. I encourage you to make an appointment to see your doctor, as both conditions can affect your long term health. Diabetes has many potential complications that can shorten your lifespan. Stress and depression are very treatable.

Diabetes: No need to be scared. You need to be concerned for long term consequences of diabetes. Diabetes is one of the worst risk factors for several long term complications. If you do not treat and control the sugar, it is going to lead to vascular problems such as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and poor circulation, etc. By the way, you can get proper guidance for the depression.
