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.

§Adjusted for age and comorbidity (use of antihypertensives).
