Summary

Despite the significant relationship between depression and diabetes, there are few published studies testing the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy in improving disease outcomes among diabetics in primary healthcare settings in Egypt. The study aims at assessing the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy combined with diabetes education versus control receiving diabetes education alone in helping patients with Type 2 Diabetes and depressive symptoms to achieve glycemic control and compliance to treatment.
