Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes were more likely to have a history of depression A study of 32,257 people between 20 and 50 years of age with type 2 diabetes indicates that patients with newly diagnosed diabetes were more likely to have a history of depression (4.9%) than those without diabetes (3.8%). This finding is considered important because the typical onset of depression occurs between the ages of 20 and 30. Thus, the people who are at the highest risk of developing depression are also the ones with the highest risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

diabetes and depression often co-exist

It has long been known that diabetes and depression often co-exist and depression is associated with the worst outcomes in diabetics. It has not been clear, however, if depressed people are predisposed to developing diabetes. Several mechanisms may be at work including weight fluctuations and sedentary lifestyles which are both common in depressed individuals and which are both increase the risk of developing diabetes. Another theory is that many of the medications
used to treat depression cause weight gain and sedation which, again, are risk factors for the development of diabetes.

Parker Waichman handled a slip and fall case for my husband - which was handled with the utmost professionalism. Speaking with the paralegal assigned to the case, Lynda Luckman, was an absolute pleasure. She was helpful from the inception of his case, up until receiving closing papers. She always knew exactly what the status of the case was and was always there to answer any and all questions we had. Her patience and kindness was exemplary. Brett Zekowski, the attorney on the case, was very attentive to our requests and delivered a result that we were very pleased with. We will certainly recommend Parker Waichman to anyone in need of legal assistance!
