[Association between depression and glycemic control disorder in patients with diabetes mellitus 2].
BACKGROUND
Depression is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), physically affecting the general condition of the patient. It also has repercussions with a poor glycemic control, as found when nutrition is not adequate and there is little adherence to the therapeutic plan. Our objective was to identify the association between depression disorders (DD) in patients with DM2 and their glycemic control.


METHODS
A case and control study was carried out in 186 patients with DM2, aged 30 to 60 years, selected by simple random sampling. The MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview was applied. The glycemic control was documented.


RESULTS
There were 54 males and 132 females. Fifty three (28.4 %) were found with controlled glycemia and 135 (72.6 %) were not controlled. Fifty one (27.4 %) of the patients with DM2 suffered DD. There were 45 patients (24.1 %) controlled without DD, 8 (4.3 %) were controlled with DD; 90 (48.3 %) were uncontrolled without DD and 43 (23.1 %) were uncontrolled with DD. The chi(2) was p = 0.03.


CONCLUSIONS
The presence of DD is associated with an uncontrolled glycemia in the DM2 patients.
