AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightThe lack of correlation between MADRS scores and HbA1c levels may be related to the restricted range of depression, the use of MADRS itself and may be due to the variability in sampling and the eligibility criteria.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether the level of depressive symptoms is associated with poor glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients. Method: The sample was comprised of 83 outpatients (mean age 50.92±8.42 years). Participants were applied a structured clinical interview and the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Metabolic control was measured by glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Results: MADRS scores were not correlated with HbA1c levels (r = 0.065, p = 0.561). No relationship was found between higher levels of depression and longer duration of diabetes (r = 0.081, p = 0.468). A significant difference was observed in MADRS scores with regard to the different treatment regimens (F=5.84, df=3, p<0.001). Conclusions: Our data showed no association between depressive symptoms and glycemic control. The lack of correlation between MADRS scores and HbA1c levels may be related to the restricted range of depression, the use of MADRS itself and may be due to the variability in sampling and the eligibility criteria.
Özet
Amaç: Tip 2 diyabetli hastalarda depresif belirti düzeyinin glisemik kontrol ile ilişkisini araştırmak. Yöntem: Ayaktan tedavi gören 83 tip 2 diyabet hastasına (yaş ortalaması 50.92±8.42 yıl) yapılandırılmış psikiyatrik görüşme, Montgomery Asberg Depresyon Değerlendirme Ölçeği (MADDÖ) uygulandı ve glikozillenmiş hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) düzeyleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: MADDÖ puanları HbA1c düzeyleri ile ilişkili bulunmadı (r = 0.065, p = 0.561). Depresyon şiddeti ile diyabetin süresi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenmedi (r = 0.081, p = 0.468). Farklı diyabet tedavileri alan hasta grupları arasında MADDÖ puanları açısından anlamlı farklılık gözlendi (F=5.84, df=3, p<0.001). Sonuç: Bulgularımıza göre, tip 2 diyabetli hastalardan oluşan bu örneklemde depresif belirtilerle glisemik control arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmemiştir.
