Women and non-Hispanic White individuals with type 2 diabetes had higher odds of experiencing depressive symptoms and loneliness during the pandemic compared to men and underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, respectively.

Be aware that being female or non-Hispanic White may be associated with a higher risk of depression and loneliness during stressful periods. This may be linked to social factors like living alone or less multigenerational support. Seek out community and social support.
