The relationships of blood glucose levels to symptoms and symptom beliefs were examined in this study of persons (N = 51) with Type II diabetes. Analyses revealed that 88% of the subjects had at least one symptom that was substantially correlated with blood glucose levels. However, subjects' symptom beliefs (symptoms subjects believe are the best indicators of high or low blood glucose levels) were largely unrelated to actual blood glucose levels. Thus, subjects were often mistaken about which of their symptoms were accurate indicators of blood glucose levels. Analyses also showed that the accuracy of symptom beliefs for low blood glucose was positively related to metabolic control.
在这项针对51名II型糖尿病患者的研究中，对血糖水平与症状及症状认知之间的关系进行了研究。分析显示，88%的受试者至少有一种症状与血糖水平显著相关。然而，受试者的症状认知（受试者认为是高血糖或低血糖最佳指标的症状）在很大程度上与实际血糖水平无关。因此，受试者常常弄错其哪些症状是血糖水平的准确指标。分析还表明，低血糖症状认知的准确性与代谢控制呈正相关。
