Depression and Diabetes, Harlem

Having a chronic disease like diabetes can be depressing, Harlem Dudes, but it can also be deadly.  Now, I know that the average hard-charging Harlem or Bronx NU dude does not let depression get him down, but this could hit your lady hard.  Women tend to get depressed a lot more than men, and if they have diabetes this puts that at a much greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CV) and death.  In this economic depression, where everyone has to fight to keep on trying and keep the faith, this is an important thing to think about.  Try to keep your lady from getting depressed, and if she needs medical help make sure she gets it.
