Diabetes

Maybe I was wrong on the cause-effect on Diabetes and mental issues but a basic checks implied that the cause/effect is more diabetes-mental problems that mental-diabetes. Feel free to resubmit this if you think I had this wrong. Mtpaley (talk) 01:27, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

@Mtpaley: Thank you for your feedback and also to reconsider my editing! Really appreciate it. Indeed, there's some research pointing that severe mental illness may be a risk factor for developing diabetes, mainly related with the side effects of commonly prescribed medication to manage severe mental illness (including some antipsychotics). This is quite important considering that with the high prevalence of diabetes in this population, diabetes management interventions may need to be tailored to their specific needs. If you would be interested to read a bit about this topic, I can recommend these articles: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrendo.2014.203?message-global=remove; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25943829/; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27265707/.JanelaD (talk) 09:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Side effects of mental illness medications causing diabetes is a valid topic although one which could do with substantial references but is not the same as mental illness causing diabetes. In the latter case there might well be a correlation but this does not show a causation, you say it yourself that the presumed causation is from specific medications and not from the mental illness itself.

Basically you are not saying that diabetes causes mental illness but that some diabetes medications might (citation needed). Either include this in the page with suitable language or make a new page and link it to diabetes, in either case some good citations will probably be essential.

Thank you for your response @Mtpaley:! just left a message in an already opened section on the talk page of Diabetes, so other people can also join the discussion. I just ping you there in my reply.JanelaD (talk) 22:54, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Recent Cochrane reviews

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. It's not usually a good idea to describe a study as being "recent" (because the article may still be saying that a decade from now, when the information is no longer "recent"), and it's usually unnecessary to point out that a source is from the Cochrane Collaboration. Whenever your material comes from a systematic review, and you have no reason to think that another high-quality source disagrees with it, then you can just write it as a fact. That means writing just "Nobody knows" instead of "A recent review by the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that nobody knows".

@WhatamIdoing: Hello, thank you for bringing this up! My apologies for that and I will definitely bear that in mind in the next editions. JanelaD (talk) 09:04, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
