| Overall | 222 | 75 | 0.05 (−0.01, 0.10) | 0.09 |
| Low social support | 130 | 44 | 0.08 (0.03, 0.12) | <0.01 |
| High social support | 92 | 31 | −0.02 (−0.13, 0.08) | 0.67 |

Adjusted for age, education, number of doctor visits in past 6 months, duration of T2DM at time of HbA1c test; B = difference in HbA1c for a 1-point increase in CES-D; Hb = hemoglobin; CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies - Depression Scale, N = number of observations; n = number of participants; CI = confidence interval.
