Researchers have found there is a connection between diabetes and mental health issues.
The research has been presented to an international psychiatric conference in Hobart.
Dr Carol Silberberg, from the University of Melbourne, told the conference that research suggests depression can alter the way the body processes glucose and that, in turn, can complicate treatment of both conditions.
Dr Silberberg said there were high rates of depression, anxiety and eating disorders among people with Type 1 diabetes.
