Key result
Depression was associated with an increased probability of poor glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes (PR 1.32; 95% CI 1.15-1.51).

Relative Risk: 1.32 (95% CI 1.15–1.51)
Depression is associated with a 32% increased probability of poor glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes, highlighting the importance of early detection of depression to prevent metabolic complications.
Crispín‐Trebejo et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=277). Depression (PHQ-9 ≥15) vs. No depression (PHQ-9 <15) was evaluated on Poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥7%) (PR 1.32, 95% CI 1.15-1.51). Depression was associated with an increased probability of poor glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes (PR 1.32; 95% CI 1.15-1.51).
