The prevalence of anxiety disorder was 43% had no anxiety disorder, 53% had mild, 2% moderate and 2% severe anxiety disorder. There was positive correlation exist (p values <0.005) between Hb1Ac and PHQ-9 (0.241, P value 0.016), GAD-7 and diabetes mellitus duration (0.252, P value 0.011), Hb1Ac and height (0.197, P value 0.049). Very strong positive correlation exist between (P value <0.001) PHQ-9 and GAD-7 (0.702 P values 0.011), PHQ-9 and duration of diabetes mellitus (0.351 P value <0.001).
