Comorbidity can adversely affect both conditions and may lead to an early death. This is evidenced by an investigation that compared people with a single diagnosis versus a dual-diagnosis of T2DM and depression.

After completing any neuroscienceCME activity—regardless of format—you may now take a quick post-test, receive your score, submit an evaluation, and print your certificate immediately or whenever you choose, all from your desktop. While we still offer more traditional methods of requesting credit, our participants are voting with their keyboards and going the electronic route, thus helping us minimize our "carbon footprint." We appreciate the way that the neuroscienceCME learning community has embraced this technology and we invite your feedback and ideas on how to make this tool even more useful.
There are two ways to access neuroscienceCME's online testing feature. Visit www.neuroscienceCME.com/test to view a list of all available activities, or click on the "Complete Post-Test/Print CE Certificate" link at the top right of most activity details pages on neuroscienceCME.com.
