Adults with diabetes and depression who take antidepressant medications as prescribed are less likely to develop serious diabetes complications or die compared with those not taking antidepressants regularly, data from Taiwan show.

Increasing age at type 2 diabetes diagnosis is associated with progressively lower risks for all-cause mortality, macrovascular and microvascular disease, according to findings from a systematic review of 26 studies.

Adults with type 2 diabetes before age 40 years are more likely to develop retinopathy than those diagnosed later in life, according to findings published in Diabetic Medicine.

Adults with type 1 diabetes may be more likely to develop macrovascular complications, albuminuria and calcified aortic valve disease if they have elevated measures of lipoprotein(a), according to findings published in Diabetes Care.
