Behavioral Self-Regulation in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes: Negative Affectivity and Blood Glucose Symptom Perception.

Wiebe, Deborah J.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v62 n6 p1204-12 Dec 1994

Adolescents who were more internally focused were more able to discern which symptoms actually covaried with blood glucose (BG) fluctuations; those with higher trait anxiety tended to misattribute non-diabetes-related symptoms to BG levels. Interactions suggested those who both attend to internal physical sensations and experience-heightened anxiety display poorer metabolic control. (BF)
