Predicting response to cognitive behavior therapy of depression in type 2 diabetes.
Little is known about which factors may adversely affect response to  psychotherapy  in diabetic patients with major depression . We studied the relationship of various demographic , diabetes , and depression characteristics to change in depression in 42 patients with type 2 diabetes who completed a r and omized clinical trial of cognitive behavior therapy ( CBT ) .  Depression remitted in a significantly greater percentage of the patients treated with CBT than with the control intervention ( 85.0 % vs 27.3 % , p < 0.001 ) . In the sample as a whole , nonremission of depression was associated with lower compliance with blood glucose monitoring , higher glycated hemoglobin ( GHb ) levels , higher weight , and a history of previous treatment for depression . In the group treated with CBT , the presence of diabetes complications and lower compliance with blood glucose monitoring were significant independent predictors of diminished response . These findings show that factors related to the medical illness , such as the presence of diabetes complications , may negatively influence the prognosis for recovery from depression . Specific coverage of these issues during psychotherapy may optimize the likelihood of treatment success in patients with diabetes
