Associations Between Depressive Symptoms, Fear of Hypoglycemia, Adherence to Management Behaviors and Metabolic Control in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes.

Abstract：

:We examined the relationship between two malleable risk factors, depressive symptoms and fear of hypoglycemia, in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes and their relationship to two important outcomes, adherence behaviors and metabolic control. To assess this relationship, we used a multidimensional measure of adherence, assessing frequency of both blood glucose monitoring and healthy behaviors including diet and exercise. We predicted that higher levels of depressive symptoms and higher levels of fear of hypoglycemia would be associated with worse metabolic control as mediated by poor adherence. Eighty-three children and adolescents ages 8 to 20 (M = 13.87, SD 3.21) were recruited from March 2014 to October 2014 at an outpatient diabetes clinic in a moderately sized Southeastern city within the USA. Nested models were evaluated using structural equation modeling. Adherence significantly mediated the relationship between depressive symptoms and metabolic control with more depressive symptoms leading to worse metabolic control. Adherence marginally mediated the relationship between fear of hypoglycemia and metabolic control; however, less fear of hypoglycemia was associated with worse metabolic control. In a combined model, adherence continued to significantly mediate the relationship between depressive symptoms and metabolic control, while also independently significantly mediating the relationship between fear of hypoglycemia and metabolic control. This finding was also contrary to the predicted relationship with less fear of hypoglycemia leading to worse metabolic control. The results indicate that youth with fewer depressive symptoms and more fear of hypoglycemia had better adherence to their treatment regimen, which was associated with better metabolic control. The results of this study highlight the importance of screening for depression and fear of hypoglycemia during routine clinic visits to optimize adherence and metabolic control.
