Article Synopsis
- Depression and anxiety are frequently found alongside diabetes, with potential links between glycemic dysregulation and mental health risks in middle-aged Lebanese adults.
- Using data from the Greater Beirut Area Cardiovascular Cohort, the study analyzed the effects of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) on depression and anxiety symptoms over a five-year period.
- Results indicated that higher FBG levels in the non-diabetic range correlated with lower depression and anxiety symptoms, while the opposite was true for those with higher FBG levels in the diabetic range, suggesting differing impacts based on glycemic control.
