Method of sampling was conclude one data were gathered with Beck test and two part questionnaire including demographic and severity of depression in patients taking insulin. Severity of depression was higher than tablet users. On the other hand there was a significant relation between severity of depression and kind of treatment (insulin injection) (P<0.04). Regarding to the findings, however depression in these patients is high and the patients who are taking insulin are at risk of this mental complication and the health team members should take care of them.
