Glycemic outcomes related to depression in adults with type 1 diabetes.

Glycemic outcomes of adults with type 1 diabetes may be affected by depression. Our aim was to compare outcomes of "depressed" (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ⩾ 10, = 83) to "not-depressed" matched control (Patient Health Questionnaire-2 < 3, = 166) adults with type 1 diabetes with objective measures. The depressed group had poorer blood glucose control and, for those with glucose meter downloads, fewer glucose tests/day.
