Abstract
Depression is a severe medical illness that can interfere with an individuals self-care behaviors. Depression is prevalent [1], burdensome [2], treatable [3], and costly [4]. Recognizing depression in diabetic individuals is critical because depression may play a role in worse control of diabetes and worse diabetes outcomes [5-10]. Depression also appears to increase the costs associated with treating diabetes [11]. A number of clinical trials have recently focused on whether treatment of depression can lead to improved diabetes outcomes [12-15]. In this review, we examine the present state of knowledge on the interaction of depression and diabetes, discuss the epidemiologic and physiologic evidence for the co-occurrence of these conditions, and describe the ways in which diabetes control is worsened by depression, how depression interferes with diabetes care, and how depression acts to increase costs in diabetics. We focus specifically on interventions to treat depression in patients with diabetes and suggest areas of future research and practice with respect to improving care and outcomes those suffering in the intersection of these diseases.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
