Description

Today, as mental health illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders continue to expand, they are further associated with poor glycemic control, decreased quality of life, increased unemployment, and worse self-care. This study aims to describe the relationship between psychological and diabetes distress and emergency healthcare utilization including 911 calls, ED visits, and hospitalizations among young adults with T1D. The collected and analyzed data indicate that T1D-related ED visits and hospitalizations are significantly associated with higher levels of mental health symptoms and diabetes distress in young adults. In contrast, no significant relationships were found between T1D-related 911 calls and mental health symptoms or diabetes distress.
