HADS=hospital anxiety and depression scale.
*Time since initial or scheduled (random blood glucose) test for screening group, 3-6 months since first contact or equivalent for control group.
†Time since initial or scheduled (random blood glucose) test for screening group, 12-15 months since first contact or equivalent for control group.
‡Screening group minus control group.
