What are we doing?
Our current project involves updating and expanding the systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2010. Since then, new interventions have been developed and a new estimate of their relative effect is needed. We will expand the previous review by examining the effect size of not only major depressive disorder and severe depressive symptoms, but also of less severe depressive symptoms and subthreshold depression, which have previously not been taken into account. Furthermore, we also want to examine whether interventions may enhance adherence to self-management or treatment in general. The results of this systematic review may be particularly beneficial for decision-making processes concerning treatment options for patients with comorbid diabetes and depression.
