The role of stress responses on engagement in dietary and physical activity behaviors among Latino adults living with prediabetes.
This study used qualitative methods to understand how Latinos with prediabetes attempted to modify their diet and physical activity behaviors to slow type-2 diabetes progression and how stress affected their engagement in these behaviors. Findings showed that stress affected behavioral and cognitive progresses that adversely altered primarily dietary behaviors.

All of that causes me stress: an exploration of the sources of stress experienced by Latinxs living with prediabetes.
Latinxs immigrants in the United States experience sources of stress (i.e., stressors) that can limit their ability to engage in healthy behaviors. Stress has been linked to increased type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk in Latinxs living with prediabetes, a group disproportionately affected by T2D. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe and contextualize the variety of stressors experienced by Latinxs immigrants diagnosed with prediabetes.

Sources of stress among Midwest American Indian adults with type 2 diabetes.
Investigators analyzed focus group transcripts of American Indian adults with type 2 diabetes from five tribal communities and classified stressors using an inductive/deductive analytical approach. They identified poverty, genocide, and colonization as fundamental causes of contemporary stress and health outcomes for American Indians and concluded that stressors are generally experienced as chronic, regardless of the duration of the stressor.

Consequences of comorbidity of elevated stress and/or depressive symptoms and incident cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes: results from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study.
The authors evaluated the impact of comorbid depressive symptoms and/or stress on adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in individuals with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. They concluded that comorbid stress and/or depressive symptoms are common in individuals with diabetes and together are associated with progressively increased risks for adverse CV outcomes.

Stress, depression and medication nonadherence in diabetes: test of the exacerbating and buffering effects of family support.
The researchers tested the moderation hypotheses that the associations between stressors/depressive symptoms and nonadherence would be stronger in the context of more obstructive family behaviors (exacerbating hypothesis) and weaker in the context of more supportive family behaviors (buffering hypothesis). They found that stressors and nonadherence were only associated at higher levels of obstructive family behaviors. Similarly, depressive symptoms and nonadherence were only associated at higher levels of obstructive family behaviors.
