Thirty hospitalized diabetics completed symptom checklists immediately prior to monitoring their own blood glucose level seven times a day for 6--10 days. For each subject, simple correlations were computed between each of the physical symptoms and blood glucose level. Most subjects evidenced several symptoms that were highly correlated with glucose fluctuations. Further, the symptoms that were related to glucose differed from subject to subject. The symptom-glucose correlations were reliable and unrelated to sex, age, duration of diabetes, and other individual difference variables. The findings point to a technique wherein patients can learn to perceive physical sensations indicative of changes in blood glucose in natural settings.
30名住院糖尿病患者在每天自行监测血糖水平7次、持续6至10天之前，立即填写症状清单。对于每个受试者，计算每种身体症状与血糖水平之间的简单相关性。大多数受试者有几种与血糖波动高度相关的症状。此外，与血糖相关的症状因受试者而异。症状与血糖的相关性可靠，且与性别、年龄、糖尿病病程及其他个体差异变量无关。研究结果指出了一种技术，通过该技术患者能够在自然环境中学会感知表明血糖变化的身体感觉。
