The cohort was stratified by: (1) presence/absence of depressive symptoms at baseline as measured by the PHQ-9 and (2) presence/absence of diabetes distress status at baseline as measured by the PAID scale

aThere are missing data for some variables resulting in different percentages; the total number of individuals for each variable is therefore given

bParametric continuous data were compared using Student’s t test; non-parametric continuous data were compared using Mann–Whitney U test; categorical variables were compared using χ2 tests
