Key Points

To examine the relationship between diabetes distress, quality of life, and glycemic outcomes in emerging adults with type 1 diabetes.
Analyzed data from Polish 18-year-olds with type 1 diabetes.
Measured diabetes distress and quality of life.
Identified factors such as gender, disease duration, and smoking status.
Diabetes distress correlates more strongly with quality of life than with metabolic control.
Females and those with longer disease durations show greater diabetes distress.
Interventions emphasizing psychological support and diabetes education are beneficial.

Implication

This research explores the link between quality of life and diabetes distress in young adults, suggesting tailored interventions for better outcomes.

Abstract

Diabetes distress is more closely associated with quality of life than metabolic control in Polish 18-year-olds with T1DM. Females, individuals with longer disease duration, and smokers may benefit from targeted interventions emphasizing both psychological support and diabetes education.
