Is depression a side effect of elevated blood sugar levels and if not, what is?

I am diabetic and just got diagnosed with depression, I believe that there is a connection. I feel drained and frustrated with my diabetes on a regular basis. I also read that people who get diagnosed with diabetes have a great chance of becoming depressed becuase of the life style. I admit, it is sad thinking that I live out of a needle and vile of insulin, that i can't eat ice cream when I want, that I can't sleep or eat when I want to I need to be consistant, it becomes very upsetting!
When the sugar rush subsides, you would be feeling very low, so yes, in this sense.
diabetes
it can be.
its maybe because you don't have faith in yourself that you feel depressed, take a break somewhere
It is the combination of low self esteem and lack of appreciation for what you do have. If you are feeling lousy just look at someone that has a major medical problem or some starving child. They did not ask to be born in a poor country. Think more of how lucky you are and how life can be better if you use the resources you have more effectively.
If your blood sugar is high, you will be more hyperactive. When your blood pressure is low, you can get very tired and lethargic. I am a student nurse and those are just a couple of side effects that I was taught if you are a diabetic.
