Who's Distressed : A Comparison of Diabetes Related Distress by Type of Diabetes and Medication

Abstract

Objective: We hypothesized that total diabetes-related distress (DRD) would vary by type of diabetes and medication regimen [Type 1 diabetes (T1DM), Type 2 diabetes with insulin use (T2DM-i), Type 2 diabetes without insulin use (T2DM)). Thus, the aim of this study is to identify those groups with elevated ORD. Research Design and Methods: The Diabetes Center of Excellence administered the 17-item Diabetes- related Distress Scale (DDS-17) to 585 patients as part of standard care. In addition, we collected demographics, medications, vital signs, and lab results.
