Abstract

We aimed to investigate the association between incretin-based therapies and 1-year change in depressive symptoms in a cohort of 1735 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The incretin group experienced significant reduction in depressive symptoms compared to controls. This was independent of HbA1c and may be mediated by an anti-inflammatory mechanism.
