I do appreciate the scope of your comment in which it is
given.
I do not think that Depression is inevitable for everyone
because of Diabetes, as you somewhat noted. We are all
different and we can be affected differently by the same
disease.
If a Person is normally Happy with their Life, is not bothered
by the small weekly problems and/or understands Diabetes
with its treatment in relationship to their body then chances
are that Person will not fall into Depression.
Do not get me wrong. I do understand how many People
have and will get depressed because of Diabetes. They are
Human and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Some heavy weight
has been thrown upon them that is most likely not their fault
and something that is probably not shared by their *unpleasant*
co-worker, etc. Something that will affect the rest of their Life.
Life is not fair....BUT it is vital that they understand the disease,
treatment and how both affect them.
If a Person has Depression of any kind for any reason they should
discuss it with their confidant, Dr. or other.
