    I understand the struggle with sugar. Weight loss can definitely help with diabetes. My mother was significantly obese (probably 100+ overweight) and when she lost a significant amount of weight her diabetes basically went away. Depression is also something that I understand. I am clinically depressed (it's a chemical imbalance, as opposed to a temporary depression caused by an event or situation.) I take medicine and I am not ashamed. I definitely eat more and am less active when I am depressed. The result of the more eating and less activity can make you feel worse, and become a vicious cycle.
