The purpose of this study was to examine how fear of hypoglycemia (FOH) is associated with glycemic variability (GV) and self-management behavior in young adults (aged 18-35) with type 1 diabetes (T1DM).
Using a prospective repeated-measures design, in 35 young adults, within- and between-person and temporal associations of FOH, specific self-management behaviors, and GV were measured. The data were collected using questionnaires and real-time measures using daily diaries, insulin pump downloads, actigraphy, and continuous glucose monitoring.
FOH was associated with greater glycemic variability. Significant temporal associations emerged. Concurrent day (glucose SD, p=.011) and previous-evening fear levels were associated with GV (glucose SD, p=.007). FOH was also associated with greater calorie intake (r=.492, p=.003) and less physical activity (light activity, r=-.341, p=.045).
The significant associations of FOH with GV, dietary patterns, and physical activity provide evidence for FOH as an important psychological factor associated with diabetes care.
本研究旨在探讨低血糖恐惧(FOH)与1型糖尿病(T1DM)青年成年人(18 - 35岁)的血糖变异性(GV)及自我管理行为之间的关联。
采用前瞻性重复测量设计,对35名青年成年人测量了FOH、特定自我管理行为和GV的个体内、个体间及时间关联。数据通过问卷调查以及使用日常日记、胰岛素泵下载数据、活动记录仪和连续血糖监测进行实时测量来收集。
FOH与更大的血糖变异性相关。出现了显著的时间关联。当日(血糖标准差,p = 0.011)和前一晚的恐惧水平与GV相关(血糖标准差,p = 0.007)。FOH还与更高的热量摄入(r = 0.492,p = 0.003)和更少的身体活动(轻度活动,r = - 0.341,p = 0.045)相关。
FOH与GV、饮食模式和身体活动之间的显著关联为FOH作为与糖尿病护理相关的重要心理因素提供了证据。
