• Description:
  What Can School Nurses Do to Address Diabetes and Depression in the School Setting? 1. Remember that depression and diabetes are common comorbidities. If you see signs of depression, remember to obtain the appropriate consent and approvals for students under the age of 18 before screening. 2. Remember that depression can interfere with self-management skills and may make diabetes worse--so connect students to community resources to help them reduce the risk of complications. 3. Remember that depression and risk-taking behaviors are common in adolescents with diabetes. Have educational materials ready and available to help students in need.
