To clarify the respective contribution of demographic characteristics, health conditions and three psychological variables (depression, anxiety, alexithymia) for glycaemic control measured by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
Sixty-four persons diagnosed with type 1 diabetes completed psychological measures and demographic information at admission (T1) to the hospital and in a follow-up (+8 weeks) (T2). Additional information about their health conditions was also considered.
At T1, the alexithymia factor "difficulties describing feelings" (DDF) predicted HbA1c over and above the predictive power of demographic information, health conditions, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, higher decrease in HbA1c from T1 to T2 was predicted by higher scores on the alexithymia factor DDF at admission over and above the other predictors.
DDF is an important predictor of glucose control. Scoring higher on this factor is related to poorer glycaemic control at admission. Additionally, people with higher scores on this factor seem to benefit highly from the treatment administered at the hospital.
阐明人口统计学特征、健康状况和三个心理变量（抑郁、焦虑、述情障碍）对通过糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）测量的血糖控制的各自贡献。
64名被诊断为1型糖尿病的患者在入院时（T1）以及随访（+8周）时（T2）完成了心理测量和人口统计学信息收集。还考虑了他们健康状况的其他信息。
在T1时，述情障碍因素“描述情感困难”（DDF）在人口统计学信息、健康状况、焦虑和抑郁的预测能力之上，还能预测HbA1c。此外，入院时述情障碍因素DDF得分较高，在其他预测因素之上，还能预测从T1到T2时HbA1c的更大降幅。
DDF是血糖控制的重要预测因素。该因素得分较高与入院时较差的血糖控制相关。此外，该因素得分较高的人似乎从医院给予的治疗中获益很大。
