title: Expressed emotion and glucose control in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: To clarify the meaning of the expressed emotion construct by testing its generalizability beyond psychiatric disorders, the authors measured family expressed emotion and glucose control in 35 diabetic patients. The critical comments component of expressed emotion significantly predicted glucose control, suggesting that the expressed emotion construct is not specific to psychiatric patients.
