Relationships of hypoglycemia awareness, hypoglycemia beliefs, and continuous glucose monitoring glycemic profiles with anxiety and depression symptoms in adults with type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring systems
Authors' conclusion
Our findings revealed relationships of impaired hypoglycemia awareness, hypoglycemia beliefs, CGM-detected hypoglycemia with anxiety and depression symptoms in T1D adults who use CGMs.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T1D using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) (59% also using AID)
- Participants
- 196 adults
- Outcome
- Anxiety and depression symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) in relation to hypoglycemia awareness, hypoglycemia beliefs and CGM glycemic profiles

- Survey
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Lower hypoglycemia awareness, weaker "hypoglycemia concerns minimized" beliefs and stronger "hyperglycemia avoidance prioritized" beliefs independently associated with higher anxiety symptoms; similar trends with and without AID
- P < 0.05
- Lower hypoglycemia awareness independently associated with greater depression symptoms
- P < 0.05
- Without AID, more time in hypoglycemia related to less anxiety and depression symptoms
- P < 0.05
- Female sex and younger age independently associated with higher anxiety symptoms; younger age with greater depression symptoms
- P < 0.05
Observational data: associations, not effects.
