Introduction

Patient self-management abilities and efficient patient provider involvement are crucial aspects of diabetes care in order to control glucose and prevent negative effects. Comorbid depression or Diabetes Distress (DD) can, however, make this difficult. Diabetes patients are thought to have a 20% prevalence of depression. The true frequency may be underestimated, nevertheless, as a number of obstacles to depression screening have been noted. An estimated 36% of people have Diabetes related Depression (DD), which is thought to be underreported in part because there is no ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for it. Data on the impact of DD on complications is also available. Given the rising incidence of diabetes and the associated financial burden, it is critical to take into account all possible glycemic management obstacles. Having diabetes and depression together. In this study, diabetes patients treated at a primary care office in an urban, underserved location between October 1, 2017, and September 30, 2019, had their medical records retrospectively examined. Included were all patients who had been given a diabetes mellitus diagnosis. Data from the clinic's electronic medical record, including demographics, vital signs, diagnoses, test findings, prescription medicine orders, and medication, were retrieved from the arkansas clinical data repository. Our population had a comorbid depression rate of 35%, which was greater than anticipated. We may be contributing to this by categorising depression using ICD-10-CM codes. This was thought to be a more reliable approach of accurately identifying people with depression, even though diagnoses may not always be updated in the health record.

Conclusion

According to this study, our region had a greater rate of comorbid depression, diabetes, and/or Developmental Delay (DD) than the other study areas.

Focusing treatment on depression may have the most impact because more individuals with distress also experienced depression.
