Adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and depression are associated with higher hemoglobin A1C(HbA1C) compared to their nondepressed counterparts. Little is known about related clinical and demographic components contributing to these differences. We examined differences in HbA1Cbetween adults who have T2DM with and without major depression.Ttests and chi‐square analyses measured differences in HbA1Cand clinical/demographic variables. HbA1Cwas statistically higher in depressed participants compared to nondepressed participants. The difference was no longer statistically significant after controlling for age. Age and HbA1Cwere negatively correlated across the sample and were still correlated in each group independently. The interaction of age and HbA1Cwas moderated by depression status. Additionally, mechanisms for diabetes severity differences were assessed using moderation analyses and Blinder‐Oaxaca decomposition technique. Seventy‐four percent of the mean outcome HbA1Cdifference between depressed and nondepressed diabetic participants was explained by age. Furthermore, age was negatively correlated with clinical variables, such as diastolic blood pressure and cholesterol. Comparing age to smoking and nonsmoking participants, smokers were statistically younger. Younger adults with T2DM may require more attention regarding self‐management, particularly in the context of depression. Depression should be screened and treated among individuals with diabetes since this exacerbates diabetes severity.
