Detailed Description
Depression is a serious illness that affects a person's mood, thoughts, and physical being. Common symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of anxiety, guilt, or hopelessness; irregular sleep and appetite patterns; lethargy; disinterest in previously enjoyed activities; excessive irritability and restlessness; suicidal thoughts; and inability to concentrate. Depression is highly comorbid, often occurring in the presence of one or more other disorders. Up to 15% to 20% of the time, people with diabetes are also depressed. Diabetes is a disease that interferes with the body's proper production and use of the hormone insulin, which is needed to convert food into the energy required to perform daily life activities. Self-care is a crucial component of diabetes treatment. However, symptoms of depression can interfere with behaviors necessary to carry out this care. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown success in treating people with depression, but the effect of CBT on self-care behaviors and depression of those with diabetes is not well known. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of CBT for medical adherence and depression (CBT-AD) in people with a depressive mood disorder and type 2 diabetes.
Upon study entry, all participants will complete various assessments, including a psychiatric diagnostic interview, a series of paper questionnaires, neuropsychological testing, blood sample analysis, and blood sugar monitoring. Next, all participants will meet with a nutritionist and a nurse diabetes educator. The nutritionist will help set goals for eating, physical activity, weight, and blood glucose. The nurse diabetes educator will review diabetes medication history and blood glucose self-monitoring equipment.
Participants will then be randomly placed in one of two counseling groups. One group will meet for a single session that will be devoted to diabetes medical adherence. The other group will attend 10 to12 individual CBT sessions for diabetes medical adherence and depression management. The CBT sessions will last 45 to 50 minutes and will require practice of coping skills outside the sessions. Participants receiving CBT will also complete weekly assessments of depression, self-care, and diabetes medical adherence. All participants will be asked to monitor a prescribed medication with a pill cap for the course of the study. At Month 2, participants in both groups will also meet again with the nutritionist to review original goals and adjust them as necessary. Most of the previous study assessments will be repeated at Months 4, 8, and 12. The neuropsychological testing will be repeated only at Month 12.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Enhanced treatment as usual Enhanced treatment as usual plus single-session life-steps treatment |
Behavioral: Enhanced treatment as usual plus adherence training
The single-session life-steps treatment targets informational, problem solving, and cognitive-behavioral steps that are geared toward improving medication adherence and diabetes self-management.
|
Experimental: CBT-AD Enhanced treatment as usual plus multiple-session CBT treatment (CBT-AD) |
Behavioral: Enhanced treatment as usual plus CBT-AD
The multiple-session CBT treatment is given after completion of the life-steps session. The CBT sessions focus on treatment of depressive symptoms as well as adherence to diabetes self-care.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Glucose Monitoring Adherence at Acute Outcome [Measured at Month 4]
Medical adherence is a percent via the electronic monitoring using glucometer. This is a percent with a possible range of 0-100, with higher scores denoting better adherence.
- Percent Medication Adherence Via MEMS [month 4]
This is an electronic pill cap at the acute outcome assessment. This is a percent with a possible range of 0-100, higher scores indicating greater adherence
- Clinician Rated Depression (MADRS) at the Acute Timepoint [month 4]
Depression as assessed by the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). This scale has a range of 0-60 with higher scores indicating greater depression severity.
- Depression on the CGI at Acute Outcome [Month 4]
Clinical Global Impression is a scale from 1-7 with greater numbers meaning more severe depression
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Glucose Control [Month 4]
Hemoglobin A1C value at acute outcome. HbA1c is the number of hemoglobin in red blood cells that is glycosylated (attached to sugar) and is reported here as a percentage.
Other Outcome Measures
- Glucose Monitoring During Followup. [Aggregate of months 4,8,12]
This is a percent with a possible range of 0-100 with higher scores indicating better adherence. One Touch Ultra meters (LifeScan, Inc.) for daily glucose control provided frequency of self-monitoring, which when divided by the individualized goals from the nurse visits and multiplied by 100, yielded a percentage adherence score. This percentage adherence score was averaged at 4, 8, and 12 months between all participants in each arm, and those values were then averaged to give an overall percentage adherence score for each arm throughout the course of the study.
- Percent Medication Adherence During Follow up [Aggregate across 4,8,12 months]
Electronic pill cap adherence which indicates a percentage of doses taken. This percentage of doses taken was averaged at 4, 8, and 12 months between all participants in each arm, and those values were then averaged to give an overall percentage of doses taken for each arm throughout the course of the study.
- Depression MADRS Over Follow up [Aggregate across 4,8,12 months]
Independent (blind) assessor rating using the MADRS. This scale has a range of 0-60 with higher scores indicating greater depression severity. This depression score was averaged at 4, 8, and 12 months between all participants in each arm, and those values were then averaged to give an overall depression score for each arm throughout the course of the study.
- Depression CGI [Aggregate 4,8,12 months]
Clinical Global Impression scale as rated by blinded interviewer. The CGI is a scale from 1-7 with greater numbers meaning more severe depression. This depression score was averaged at 4, 8, and 12 months between all participants in each arm, and those values were then averaged to give an overall depression score for each arm throughout the course of the study.
- Glucose Control Over Follow up [Aggregate across 4,8,12 months]
Percent of HbA1c as assessed by blood analysis. HbA1c is the number of hemoglobin in red blood cells that is glycosylated (attached to sugar) and is reported here as a percentage. This percentage of HbA1c was averaged at 4, 8, and 12 months between all participants in each arm, and those values were then averaged to give an overall percentage of HbA1c for each arm throughout the course of the study.
