Patients were interviewed regarding depression, stress and anxiety using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ- 9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorders-7 (GAD-7) and Cohen’s perceived stress scale (PSS-10). Data were analysed using coGuide software.

The mean duration of diabetes was 7.41± 6.39 years. The Cohen perceived stress score was low in 27(18.62%),moderate in 101(69.66%) and high in17(11.72%) participants. The GAD-7 anxiety score was mild in 55 (37.93%),moderate in 31 (21.38%)and high in 17(11.72%) participants. The PHQ score was mild in 42(28.97%) and was severe in only 8(5.52%) participants.
