Popis: Depression is a common comorbidity in diabetes but conventional anti-depressant treatments do not consistently improve outcomes. We tested whether established diabetes treatments can also improve depressive symptoms and additionally examined biological correlates of response. We performed a multi-database systematic search of all clinical trials, which measured the effect of licensed diabetes treatments on depressive symptoms using a validated questionnaire. Results of randomised controlled trials (RCT’s) were pooled for meta-analysis. Data were also collected on insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) as correlates of response. Nineteen studies (n = 3369 patients) were included in the qualitative synthesis, 9 testing thiazolidenediones, 5 metformin, 2 thiazolidenediones against metformin, 2 incretin-based therapies and 1 insulin. Most studies were of good quality. In random-effects meta-analysis of RCT’s, pioglitazone improved depressive symptoms compared to controls (pooled effect size = −0.68 (95% C.I. −1.12 to −0.24), p = 0.003, Nstudies = 8, I2 = 83.2%). Conversely, metformin was comparable to controls overall (pooled effect size = +0.32 (95% C.I. −0.23 to 0.88), p = 0.25, Nstudies = 6, I2 = 94.2%), although inferior to active controls (pooled effect size = +1.32 (95% C.I. 0.31 to 2.34), p
