Interoceptive Awareness Is Associated With Impaired Awareness of Hypoglycemia in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes CarePublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Less worry about and reduced ability to sustain and control attention to body sensations were associated with significantly increased odds of IAH.

Exposure
Association between interoceptive awareness and IAH
Outcome
Association between IAH and MAIA-2 scales (logistic regression, adjusted for covariates)
