Abstract in brief

The article discusses the complex relationship between stress, depression, and type 2 diabetes, highlighting that while depression is clearly linked to increased risk of diabetes, the role of stress is less certain due to varying research methods.
It explains that the body's stress response involves systems like the HPA axis, autonomic nervous system, and immune system, with depression often leading to changes in cortisol levels, such as a flattened diurnal cortisol curve, which is also associated with insulin resistance and diabetes.
The main focus is on how dysregulation of the HPA axis, which manages stress responses, may serve as a biological connection between stress, depression, and the development of type 2 diabetes.]
