Diabetes and Depression

[Cyborg]

There is, in fact, a link between diabetes and depression... The glycosylation of proteins in the brain can affect the receptors that are responsible for the update of serotinin. There is actually a lot of information available regarding this as it is a highly studied effect. Alzheimer's and other mental ailments may actually be caused in part due to this type of condition.
