Objective:
The project assesses which treatment strategies for depression have proven effective for people with diabetes and which approaches lead to a reduction of diabetes-related symptoms in addition to the mental health improvements.
Additional information:

Depression is common in people with diabetes, and it adversely affects the course of the illness. Depression comorbid with diabetes increases the risk of complications like blindness and heart or kidney disease. Self-care practices such as monitoring glucose levels and adjusting insulin intake may also be neglected.
