Health locus of control and glycosylated haemoglobin concentration of implantable insulin pump recipients in Austria.
Thirty diabetic individuals in Austria were included in this study about health locus of control and glycosylated haemoglobin in implantable insulin pump recipients. Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scores were generally consistent with the optimal values identified for other populations with chronic conditions. Little relationship was found between MHLC scores and glycosylated haemoglobin values. Areas for further research are identified.
