Depression and glycaemic control among adult patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study in a comprehensive specialised hospital, Jigjiga, Ethiopia.

Our study revealed a significant burden of depression among patients with T2DM receiving follow-up care at the hospital. Glycaemic control, the presence of complications and a longer duration of diabetes were identified as predictors of depression. Therefore, concerned stakeholders should work to improve blood sugar control and promote healthy behaviour, particularly among those with complications or who have been sick for an extended period of time.
