Popis: The aim of the present research was to analyze the influence of depression, passive-assertive-aggressive communication styles and adherence to treatment over the glucose levels of subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Participants were 278 patients with a minimum of one year of having been diagnosed, selected through a purposive non-probability sampling, with ages ranging from 19 to 77 years old, with no amputations, nor comorbidity with nephropathy or diabetic retinopathy. A non-experimental investigation was developed through a cross-sectional design, establishing relationships between variables in a path analysis through multiple regression analyses. The instruments used were the Cuestionario Tridimensional para la Depresión (CTD, for its Spanish acronym) [Three-Dimensional Questionnaire for Depression]; the Autoinformes de Actitudes y Valores en las Interacciones Sociales (ADCAS, for its Spanish acronym) [Self Reports of Attitudes and Values in Social Interactions],and the Instrumento para Medir el Estilo de Vida en Diabéticos (IMEVID, for its Spanish acronym) [Instrument to Measure Diabetic Lifestyles] used to evaluate adherence to treatment. All of these instruments had been validated for the Venezuelan population. In addition, HbA1c was used to measure glucose level. Significant correlations between variables demonstrated to be low (oscillating between r -0.12 and r -0.33), except for two of them considered to be moderate (depression-assertive communication r -0,47
