The buffering effect of social support on diabetes distress and depressive symptoms in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Diabetic Medicine Dec 04, 2020

Beverly EA, Ritholz MD, Dhanyamraju K., et al. - In adults with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes, the present study was performed to evaluate the buffering role of social support in the relationship between diabetes distress (DD) and self‐care and depressive symptoms and self‐care. Researchers included a sum of 325 individuals (median age=40.5 years, 62.2% women, 86.5% white; 59.7% T2D, A1C= 59±6 mmol/mol or 7.5±1.6%; median duration=11.0 years). In adults with T1D and T2D, results reveal that social support buffers the impact of DD and depressive symptoms on self‐care. Additional study is required to validate the buffering role of social support on DD and depressive symptoms. In addition, a greater knowledge of these interactions may help improve clinical care and outcomes.
