Symptom-blood glucose relationships show highly variable temporal stability in adults with type 1 diabetes.
Observational (n=23)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Symptoms and blood glucose levels were recorded by 23 insulin-dependent diabetics during three separate intervals. Each interval spanned 7-10 days, involving 40 symptom-blood glucose recordings. Each symptom's ratings were correlated with their respective blood glucose recording to yield a separate symptom-blood glucose correlation for each interval. These separate symptom-blood glucose relationships were themselves correlated across the three intervals to assess the temporal stability of the symptom-blood glucose relationships. Reliability was found to be variable. Possible explanations for this variability are discussed.

Cox et al. (1983) conducted an observational in Insulin-dependent diabetes (n=23). Symptom and blood glucose recording was evaluated on Temporal stability (reliability) of symptom-blood glucose relationships. The temporal stability of symptom-blood glucose relationships across three recording intervals was found to be highly variable among insulin-dependent adult diabetics.
