DM & Depression: Diabetes and depression are frequent co-travelers. I know you've tried multiple antidepressants, but has a psychiatrist been working with you? If you haven't consulted one, please consider this -- s/he can assess your history, and may have more treatment options than you've yet tried. Also, please consider adding psychotherapy to your depression treatment -- it can help a great deal.
