Diabetics More Prone to Depression
 
Being diagnosed with type 1 or 2 diabetes dramatically increases a person's risk of suffering from severe depression, one study found. Published in the journal Diabetes Care, the study was conducted by Ohio University researchers. Based on findings from the medical histories of several hundred diabetic patients, researchers concluded that depression may afflict a whopping 25% of all diabetics nationwide.

Depression rates appeared to be similar across all ethnic groups, while women and middle-aged diabetics were slightly more prone than men and younger diabetics. Among those diabetics who were diagnosed with depression, more than half reported taking antidepressant medications, while nearly one-fifth sought help in the form of alternative supplement and behavioral therapies.

Gay And Lesbian Siblings Refused Refugee Status, Deported From Canada
02 January 2011 / Culture Clash Daily
 
Three years ago a 15 year old Daniel Garcia and his sister 30 year old sister, Brenda arrived in Canada claiming refugee status.  Today both are back in Mexico after the Federal Court rejected an appeal by Daniel claiming he would be in imminent danger if returned to his home in Mexico City.
 
His school friends and teachers have rallied around the Grade 11 student who has been studying for several years at Parkdale Collegiate Institute in Toronto.  
 
"He has heard from others, from his family there, that people have said that they're going to finish the job, that they're going to come out and kill him and his sister," Hillel Heinstein told the Canada's CityTV.
 
The death treats emulating from Mexico City are nothing new to the siblings. 
 
The Federal Court had heard that Brenda's girlfriend had been murdered in Mexico City 5 years ago in a homophobic attack.
 
The three, Daniel, Brenda and her girlfriend were sleeping at a friends house when was shots were fired, one hitting Brenda's partner in the neck.  She died on the way to hospital. 
 
It was an impressionable 13 year old Daniel who was deeply affected having witnessed the brutal murder.
 
Both brother and sister had both had endured years of persecution including with the two were walking down the street having insults hurled at them from before being physically attacked.
 
As the court announced that Daniel's claim was rejected, lawyers for the young man admited they were perplexed that during the hearing 4 of the 5 pieces of evidence supporting his claim where dismissed by the court.  
 
Amid growing protests about the decision the young Daniel was escorted to the airport last Friday, yet in an usual set of circumstances his lawyers were not informed of what plan he would be boarding while his itinerary blocked out.
 
It's a different case for a number of Iranian refugees who have been granted refugee status in Canada for fear of persecution in their homeland.  
 
Yet for the young Daniel Garcia his experience of harassment and death treats due to his sexuality were clearly not enough for the courts to recognise him as a refugee.
