Blood glucose testing was measured the frequency during past 1 week. Result: Depression was higher in hyperglycemia patient (fasting blood glucose$\geq$110mg/dl) than in normoglycemia patient(fasting blood glucose <110mg/dl). The blood glucose testing frequency as lower in 50-59 years old than in less than 39 years old. And it was lower in middle school graduate than in college graduate.
