title: [Glycosylated hemoglobin and diabetes--self monitoring (compliance) in depressed and non-depressed type I diabetic patients].
abstract: 128 type I diabetics were examined in view of connections between psychosocial factors and metabolic control. Indications of a direct interaction between depressivity, incidence of complaints and the level of hyperglycemia were found. The prevalence of manifest depression ranges at a total of 25 percent. The results further show connections between coping with the disease and behavior. High recording frequency, frequent measurements and medical consultations are found in active coping. Changes in relations to close persons and frequent change of job are psychosocial effects of the disease manifesting themselves in poorer metabolic control. In conclusion, high-risk groups of depressive diabetes patients and those under particular stress are defined.
