| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are depressive symptomatology and Type D personality (as assessed by means of validated questionnaires). Other study outcomes include 1) the onset / progression of disease-related outcomes (glycemic control, micro- and macrovascular complications, insulin initiation, mortality); 2) quality of life and health status; 3) health care utilisation. Of further interest is the course of depressive symptoms and the possibly mediating role of lifestyle-related factors (e.g. physical activity, smoking behaviour) in the association between depressive symptomatology / Type D personality and the outcome parameters. | — |
