Popis: Abstract Background Diabetes patients are at risk of developing mental health comorbidities such as depression and poor quality of sleep. These conditions can affect diabetic management, including glycemic and plasma lipid control to optimal levels. We investigated the association between diabetic control and the presence of depression and poor sleep quality in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients at Sunyani Government hospital in Ghana. Using a case–control design, we recruited 200 T2DM patients and compared them to 160 non-diabetic controls. The presence of depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 and sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Instrument (PSQI). Blood samples were collected to measure glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and plasma lipid profiles. Poor glycemic control was defined as HbA1c > 7%, depression as PHQ-9 score > 9 and poor sleep quality as PSQI score ≥ 5. Results T2DM patients had a higher prevalence of depression (31.5% vs 10.6%, p
