Fear of Hypoglycemia and Diabetes Distress: Expected Reduction by Glucose Prediction
Authors' conclusion
People with T1D and T2D would see glucose predictions as a potential improvement regarding reduced fear of hypoglycemia and diabetes distress. Therefore, glucose predictions represent a value for them in lowering the burden of diabetes and its management.
Study context
- Population
- Current continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) users with T1D (70.9%) and T2D (29.1%) in the dia·link online panel
- Participants
- 206 users
- Outcome
- Expected change with extended glucose predictions (−2 strong deterioration to +2 strong improvement)
Methodological detailsonline survey, hypothetical scenarios
- Online survey
- Hypothetical scenarios
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Expected improvement in fear of hypoglycaemia (HFS-II), mean ± SD
0.57 ± 0.49
Expected improvement in overall diabetes distress (T1 Diabetes Distress Scale (T1-DDS)), mean ± SD
0.44 ± 0.49
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
- T1-DDS did not differ for type of therapy or diabetes
