Depression is also a fairly important factor in the attitudes towards weight loss and physical activity, as well as in the behaviors of people with diabetes and of obesity. These behaviors are negatively influenced by depression and its symptoms, as they have positive reciprocal associations with obesity. Additionally, obesity and depression both have a major impact on the costs associated with diabetes management. When caring for obese diabetic patients, it is necessary to ensure that the patient is neither stressed nor depressed (Dabelea et.al, 2013). Patients should participate in activities that make them happy and bring out their positivity. It keeps them happy and their mind away from stress, so it would be helpful in dealing with other health issues like weight loss.
