Health assessments of youngsters with insulin-dependent diabetes.
In this study with youngsters with insulin-dependent diabetes, there were a number of significant correlations among psychological variables. However, with two exceptions, metabolic indices were not correlated with psychological variables or symptom reporting. Correlations involving aspects of symptom reporting suggest relationships with psychological factors. Implications for treatment decisions are presented. Additionally, theoretical, psychometric, and methodological considerations are discussed.
