Funded Activity Summary

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a serious and disabling disease affecting 900,000 Australians. Depression is twice as common in people with T2D and is linked with poorer self-care and blood glucose control, greater risk of diabetes complications and increased death. The project will evaluate an internet and mobile-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy program ‘myCompass’ in improving depression symptoms, self-care and blood glucose control in diabetes patients with mild to severe depression.
