Psychosocial Factors and Glycemic Control in Young Adults With Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

In this cohort study of young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes, beliefs about medicines, high diabetes distress, low diabetes self-efficacy, and self-management support were associated with high HbA1c over time. Future research should assess whether interventions that address these factors result in improved glycemic control in this at-risk group.
