ASSESSMENT OF GLYCEMIC CONTROL IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELITUS TYPE I AND DEPRESSION

Abstract

The article gives an assessment of the frequency rate of hypoglycemic states in patients with depression. The patients with depressive states revealed a significantly higher level of anxiety on the HADS scale, a higher HbA1C level, a lower level of minimum glycemia and a longer duration of hypoglycemia. Moreover, the patients with depression observed hypoglycemic states and latent hypoglycemia cases significantly oftener than those without depression.
