Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice Jul 07, 2018
Jensen O, et al. - For this analysis, people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) were enlisted from three outpatient clinics in Norway to study fatigue incidence in T1D vs the general population, potential associations, and to validate the Fatigue Questionnaire (FQ) in T1D. By self-report, clinical investigation, medical records and laboratory tests, socio-demographic and clinical variables were obtained. Researchers reported that fatigue was significantly more common in T1D than in the general population. Increased levels of anxiety, depression and sleep problems had the highest association with fatigue out of the several clinical and socio-demographic factors investigated. It was concluded that the FQ showed satisfactory psychometric properties.
