Stability and impact of diabetes distress over time: The potential value and uses of the type 1 diabetes distress assessment system ( T1 ‐ DDAS )
Authors' conclusion
Findings add to our understanding of DD and the utility of the T1-DDAS by demonstrating the stability and predictive validity of the T1-DDAS Core and Source scales to assess DD.
