Abstract

The present multicenter, cross-sectional survey was initiated to evaluate self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)-associated mental distress among patients with diabetes. The survey was carried out in patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes using SMBG recruited from 42 medical institutions. Profiles of Mood States 2 and diabetes therapy-related quality of life questionnaires were used to evaluate mood status and health-related quality of life. Two original questionnaires were also developed to evaluate SMBG 'importance,' 'painfulness' and 'confidence' among patients, and to evaluate physician attitudes to SMBG use. Questionnaires from 517 type 1 diabetes and 1,648 type 2 diabetes patients showed that 46.0% of type 1 diabetes and 37.5% of type 2 diabetes patients reported 'painfulness,' and that these patients reporting 'painfulness' showed significantly higher Profiles of Mood States 2 scores, lower diabetes therapy-related quality of life scores and higher glycated hemoglobin compared with those not reporting 'painfulness,' whereas the number of their daily SMBG tests were comparable. Patients reporting 'painfulness' also reported that SMBG use was significantly less important. Whether or not patients recognized the ...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.
