Trozzolino, Linda; Thompson, Pamela S.; Tansman, Mara S.; Azen, Stanley P.

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v97 n4 p230-39 Apr 2003

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 12-week psychoeducational group therapy program in improving mood and glycemic control in 48 adults with diabetes and visual impairments. Participants made statistically significant gains in glycemic control. There was a significant positive relationship between control and improvement in depression, but not between knowledge of diabetes self-care and improved glycemic control. (Contains references.)
