People who struggle with depression<\/a> could face a higher risk of diabetes, according to new research from Diabetes U.K., a British charity that aims to improve the care and treatment of people with diabetes.<\/p>\n

The researchers discovered that people with a history of depression are more susceptible to developing type 2 diabetes<\/a>, according to a press release from the organization.<\/p>\n

Professor Inga Prokopenko of the University of Surrey led the study, which considered genetic data from “hundreds of thousands” of individuals in the U.K. and Finland.<\/p>\n

Previous research suggested that people with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to struggle with depression compared to those without the condition, according to the organization.<\/p>\n

Researchers in this study took a deeper dive. They used a statistical method called Mendelian randomization to determine if type 2 diabetes and depression are linked.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the study revealed that depression directly causes an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

The findings also uncovered that higher body weight, in part, explained the impact of depression on type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

In addition, the research identified seven genetic variants that contribute to both conditions, which impact insulin production and inflammation levels in the brain, pancreas or fat tissue, the release stated.<\/p>\n

These changes could potentially explain how depression can increase type 2 diabetes risk, Diabetes U.K. reported.<\/p>\n

Lead study author Prokopenko wrote in a statement that this discovery “illuminates depression as a contributing cause of type 2 diabetes and could help to improve prevention efforts.”<\/p>\n

She added, “The findings are important for both individuals living with the conditions and health care providers<\/a>, who should consider implementing additional examinations to help prevent type 2 diabetes onset in people suffering from depression.”<\/p>\n

Despite these findings, researchers did not find any evidence of type 2 diabetes<\/a> leading to the development of depression \u2014 even though both conditions share common risk factors like obesity.<\/p>\n

Since people who have type 2 diabetes are involved in day-to-day upkeep and lifestyle changes, Diabetes U.K. noted that the “burden” of the condition could lead indirectly to feelings of depression.<\/p>\n

Board-certified emergency medicine physician Dr. Joe Whittington, M.D., based in California, echoed the fact that there has been a proven correlation between type 2 diabetes and depression.<\/p>\n

“For example, blood sugar fluctuations can affect brain function and mood, while the stress of managing diabetes amplifies this risk,” Whittington told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(He was not involved in the Diabetes U.K. study.)<\/p>\n

“Shared factors like\u00a0obesity and poor lifestyle<\/a> add complexity,” he went on. “Chronic inflammation in diabetes may also contribute to depression, and some diabetes medications can impact mood.”<\/p>\n

Whittington said that what “really sets this study apart” is the finding that depression develops into diabetes in terms of specific genes.<\/p>\n

“Because the genes that put you at risk for diabetes are kind of like a natural experiment, this helps scientists feel more sure that diabetes itself is linked to depression, not some\u00a0other random thing,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Knowing this cause-and-effect relationship can better help health care professionals be more proactive with patients who are already dealing with depression,” he noted.<\/p>\n

Doctors should implement “early screening measures” for diabetes risk factors in these patients, Whittington suggested, as well as offer preventive steps such as diet adjustment <\/a>and medication to “reduce the likelihood” of the patients “developing diabetes.”<\/p>\n

He added, “This targeted approach could significantly improve preventive efforts and ensure that people at risk get the interventions they need much sooner.”<\/p>\n

Whittington added, “Understanding the causative link between diabetes and depression can be a game-changer for prevention and treatment plans.”<\/p>\n
