Multicenter StudyCan trajectories of glycemic control be predicted by depression, anxiety, or diabetes-related distress in a prospective cohort of adults with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes? Results of a five-year follow-up from the German multicenter diabetes cohort study (GMDC-Study).
The longitudinal association between glycemic control with depression, anxiety or diabetes-related distress in type 1 diabetes is poorly understood. Therefore, we examined long-term trajectories of HbA1c in a new-onset cohort of adults with type 1 diabetes, and analyzed associations with depression, anxiety, and diabetes-related distress. ⋯ We identified distinct trajectories of glycemic control. Depression and anxiety were highly prevalent but they neither predicted 'poor'/'good' glycemic control trajectories nor were they associated with glycemic control at any assessment point.
