The impacts of higher body mass index (BMI) and adherence on depression, a condition that considered as a factor in worsening of type 2 diabetes, are analyzed. Results revealed that lower perceptions of self-efficacy mediates the implications of poor adherence and higher BMI. The significance of the increase in diabetes symptoms on BMI and depression is also examined.
