Stahl-Pehe A, et al. - Among young adults with early-onset type 1 diabetes, researchers identified cross-sectional associations between diabetes distress and health-related variables and prospective connections between diabetes distress and future glycaemic control (HbA_1c) and health status. For this cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, data from a nationwide cohort study of adults whose type 1 diabetes onset occurred between 0 and 4 years of age during 1993–2002 were collected. They evaluated diabetes distress through the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scale (0–100 points), depressive symptoms through the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and health status through the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) questionnaire. The investigators noted higher PAID scale total scores (representing higher distress levels) in women than in men and in participants with more severe depressive symptoms. In people with better physical and mental health, PAID scores were lower. Overall, they concluded that diabetes distress affects health-related outcomes in early-onset diabetic young adults.
