Abdülbari Bener (2011) conducted a case-control in Diabetes Mellitus (n=1,778). Diabetes Mellitus vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Severe anxiety symptoms (OR 4.57, 95% CI 3.53-5.91, p=<0.001). Diabetes mellitus was associated with significantly higher odds of severe anxiety (OR 4.57), severe stress (OR 5.31), and severe depression (OR 3.31) compared to matched healthy controls.
