Abstract
This manuscript examines, through a comprehensive review of the literature, depression and type 2 diabetes among older males. Type 2 diabetes is chronic illness, which has multiple demands that are correlated to depression. Depression is associated with hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. There is a significant association between depression and poor glycemic control. Depression rates are higher among patients with type 2 diabetes than patients without diabetes. This manuscript will provide insight into the demands of illness and identify what the contributing factors are related to depression among older males with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Screening and treatment options for depression are described in older males with type 2 diabetes. Limitations of the literature are discussed and recommendations for improving practice through theory-based research are provided.
