Decliners (56.1%) received time/attention matched care via diabetologist visits (attentional controls). Fluoxetine patients and controls were compared at the time of the offer (T1) and 8weeks later (T2). Factors that significantly correlated with glycemic control were used in a linear regression analysis as the independent variables. Eighty-six patients (43.9%) accepted psychiatric referral. Most of them (97.7%) remained throughout the study adherent to fluoxetine (mean daily dose=31.9mg). At T2, these patients, in comparison to controls, showed a reduction from baseline in MDI, fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (P for all comparisons <.001). In the final model of a regression analysis, 65.9% of the variation in percentage cha...Continue Reading
