Abstract

Objective Detriments in quality of life (QOL) may contribute to the common, costly decline in adolescents' type 1 diabetes management and control, yet we know little about how this might happen.Methods Participants were 150 adolescents (age 13-18) with type 1 diabetes and their parents. We constructed a latent QOL variable from a multi-informant, multi-domain assessment when participants entered the study. The QOL variable was examined in relation to prospective assessments of diabetes management (blood glucose monitoring frequency; BGM) and control (hemoglobin A1c). We used an indirect path model to test the links among these variables, using bias-corrected bootstrapping.Results Poorer QOL at baseline was indirectly linked with higher A1c at 12 months via less frequent BGM obtained at 6 months (b = -0.01, 95% CI = -0.025, -0.004, p < 0.05). Older age (b = -0.32), longer diabetes duration (b = -0.07), and insulin delivery via injections versus the insulin pump (b = 0.67) were covariates of less frequent BGM, and unmarried caregiver status was associated with higher A1c (b = -0.76), all ps < 0.05.Conclusions In this study, poorer QOL acted as a barrier to effective diabetes management, subsequently altering diabetes control.Practice implications Efforts to monitor and enhance QOL may hold promise for improving adolescents' diabetes outcomes in the future.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
