Abstract

The precise role of psychological stress in mediating the development of various forms of diabetes is controversial. Recent data from animal studies and large epidemiological studies in humans provide strong linkage between psychological stress and diabetes. This review focuses on the current evidence linking T1DM and T2DM and psychological stress and illustrates the inherent difficulty in overcoming this controversial issue.
