Diabetes Treatment and Mental Illness: A Call for an Integrated Health Care System in Underserved Semi-Rural Malaysia. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:10015.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) management imposes a tremendous psychological burden on patients. The study investigates the association between DM treatment with blood glucose (BG) control and common mental health conditions. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1821 individuals with DM in a community-based survey conducted in 2013. Information on respondents’ sociodemographic, mental health, DM treatment, and BG levels was collected. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to examine the association of diabetes treatment with controlled BG levels (<11.1 mmol/L) (42.5%, n = 774) or uncontrolled BG levels (34.3%, n = 625) compared with those not undergoing treatment (23.2%, n = 422) on depression anxiety, and stress. Having DM treatment and controlled BG was associated with high depressive symptoms (Relative Risk Ratio, RRR: 2.42; 95% CI 1.33−4.41) and high anxiety symptoms (1.66; 1.08−2.56) but not with perceived stress. However, treated DM with uncontrolled BG was associated with anxiety (high: 1.64; 1.05−2.56; low: 2.59; 1.10−6.09) but not depression or perceived stress. Our results suggest that being treated for DM, regardless of glucose control status, was associated with anxiety symptoms, whereas being treated with controlled BG was associated with high depressive symptoms. This situation highlights the need for integrative, multidisciplinary care for DM patients with mental health comorbidities.

Abstract
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) convened a writing group to develop a consensus statement on the management of type 1 diabetes in adults. The writing group has considered the rapid development of new treatments and technologies and addressed the following topics: diagnosis, aims of management, schedule of care, diabetes self-management education and support, glucose monitoring, insulin therapy, hypoglycaemia, behavioural considerations, psychosocial care, diabetic ketoacidosis, pancreas and islet transplantation, adjunctive therapies, special populations, inpatient management and future perspectives. Although we discuss the schedule for follow-up examinations and testing, we have not included the evaluation and treatment of the chronic microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes as these are well-reviewed and discussed elsewhere. The writing group was aware of both national and international guidance on type 1 diabetes and did not seek to replicate this but rather aimed to highlight the major areas that healthcare professionals should consider when managing adults with type 1 diabetes. Though evidence-based where possible, the recommendations in the report represent the consensus opinion of the authors. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite its poor prognosis, the psychological factors associated with recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis are poorly understood. In people with type 1 diabetes, we assessed for psychopathology in those with and without recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). METHOD The design was a case-control study. Cases were defined as people with two or more DKA episodes in a 12-month period (recurrent DKA). Cases and controls were matched for gender and age. We compared groups for scores on Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck's Depression Inventory II, Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised, Standardised Assessment of Personality-Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS), Interpersonal Problem Inventory, Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire and Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) using unpaired t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests for parametric and non-parametric data, respectively. Correction was made for multiple testing. RESULTS In all, 23 cases and 23 controls were recruited with mean age 31.0 (11.4) years and 65.2% were men. Cases had higher HbA1c levels than controls (101.1 (23.2) vs. 85.7 (21.7) mmol/mol, (p = 0.02)). Compared to controls, people with recurrent DKA had higher scores on the BAI (p = 0.004), PAID (p = 0.004), DERS (p = 0.001) and SAPAS (p < 0.001). Sixteen of 23 (69.6%) cases screened positive for a personality disorder compared to 6 of 23 (26.1%) controls. CONCLUSIONS People with recurrent DKA have elevated levels of anxiety and diabetes distress, greater difficulty with emotion regulation and personality dysfunction compared to matched controls.

Symptoms of depression and anxiety in adults with type 1 diabetes: Associations with self-care behaviour, glycaemia and incident complications over four years - Results from diabetes MILES-Australia. J Affect Disord 2021; 282:803-811. [PMID: 33601721 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2020.12.196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether symptoms of depression or anxiety predict glycaemia and incident diabetes complications four years later, and whether diabetes self-care behaviours mediate these associations, in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). METHODS Data of 205 adults with T1DM from the 2011 and 2015 Diabetes MILES-Australia surveys were analysed. Variables of interest were: baseline depression and anxiety (PHQ-8 and GAD-7, respectively) symptoms; HbA1c and incident complications at four-year follow-up; and self-care behaviours at both time points. Longitudinal associations were analysed using structural equation modelling. RESULTS Forty-two participants (20.6%) reported incident complications. Baseline depressive symptoms predicted higher HbA1c at follow-up indirectly via less optimal self-care at follow-up (β = 0.19, P = 0.011). Baseline anxiety was not independently associated with HbA1c or self-care at follow-up (P ≥ 0.64). Neither depressive nor anxiety symptoms predicted incident complications, although depressive symptoms were associated with less optimal self-care at baseline (β = -0.67, P < 0.001), and this predicted microvascular complications (β = -0.38, P = 0.044); however, the indirect association via self-care was not significant (β = 0.25, P = 0.067). LIMITATIONS Participants were self-selected; all study variables were assessed using self-report measures; and adjusting for baseline HbA1c was not possible. CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms predicted suboptimal self-care behaviour and glycaemic outcome four years later, while anxiety symptoms did not. The findings suggest that tailored diabetes care should take the potential impact of comorbid depression into consideration to help people improve their diabetes self-care and achieve best possible health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To determine and analyze the factors related to anxiety and depression in patients having diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). METHODS This two-center, cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 patients with DFU, who were receiving treatment in the outpatient diabetes foot care clinic at Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Saudi Arabia and National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics, Jordan. Employing the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the anxiety and depression levels of the study population were measured. The demographic variables were also recorded. RESULTS Females displayed significantly higher anxiety (p = 0.032) and depression levels (p = 0.043); and those who were unmarried showed higher anxiety (p = 0.042). School educated patients showed reduced degrees of anxiety (p = 0.023) and depression (p = 0.003) and college educated showed reduced anxiety (p = 0.047) compared to uneducated. Compared to patients on treatment with diet, a significant decline was found in depression (p = 0.034) levels among orally treated patients. Compared to patients on oral medication, patients with oral and insulin treatments revealed higher depression (p = 0.026). Higher-income patients showed a significant decline for anxiety (p = 0.004). Patients who were past smokers had higher anxiety (p = 0.046) than current and never had been smokers. Higher anxiety (p = 0.017) was observed in patients having higher HbA1c levels, similarly, patients with three diabetes-related complications showed higher levels of anxiety (p = 0.001) and depression (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Female gender, lower education levels, patients on oral and insulin treatments, low income, high HbA1c levels and patients experiencing a higher number of diabetes-related complications showed either higher anxiety or depression levels.

Abstract
AIMS The longitudinal association between glycemic control with depression, anxiety or diabetes-related distress in type 1 diabetes is poorly understood. Therefore, we examined long-term trajectories of HbA1c in a new-onset cohort of adults with type 1 diabetes, and analyzed associations with depression, anxiety, and diabetes-related distress. METHODS We included 313 newly diagnosed adults with type 1 diabetes in a prospective multicenter cohort study. Depression, anxiety, and diabetes-related distress were assessed starting with the diabetes diagnosis and at five annual surveys. HbA1c-measurements started with the one-year follow-up. HbA1c trajectories were analyzed applying Growth mixture modeling, while prediction of membership in the trajectories classes was analyzed using multiple regression, and one-way ANOVA/Chi2 to identify differences between classes. RESULTS Average HbA1c increased constantly: follow-up at 1-year 6.5% (48 mmol/mol), 2-years 6.9% (52 mmol/mol), 3-years 7.1% (54 mmol/mol), 4-years 7.1% (54 mmol/mol), and 5-years 7.4% (57 mmol/mol). HbA1c trajectories included one 'good control' and three 'poor control' (52% of patients) classes. At the five-year follow-up, mean HbA1c was 6.3% (45 mmol/mol) in the 'good control' class, and ranging from 7.9% (63 mmol/mol) to 9.0% (75 mmol/mol) in the three 'poor control' classes. Classes were neither predicable, nor differentiated by depression, anxiety, or diabetes-related distress. CONCLUSIONS We identified distinct trajectories of glycemic control. Depression and anxiety were highly prevalent but they neither predicted 'poor'/'good' glycemic control trajectories nor were they associated with glycemic control at any assessment point.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that a global sense of meaning in life is related to physical health, including increased longevity and reduced morbidity. However, the mechanisms responsible for these relationships remain largely unknown and uninvestigated. Moreover, there is no unifying conceptual framework linking meaning in life to physical health. Our aims are to (a) review the literature linking meaning in life to potential mechanisms associated with better physical health; (b) offer a comprehensive conceptual framework associating meaning in life with physical health; and (c) introduce a new construct, meaning salience, as a potentially important intermediary mechanism. Specifically, we review the evidence suggesting that meaning in life is associated with reduced stress, more adaptive coping, and greater engagement in health-promoting behaviors. Our model proposes that effects of global sense of meaning are potentiated through increased meaning salience, or daily awareness of meaning in the moment, which enhances self-regulation. Suggestions are proposed for empirically examining this new model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND . Health economic modeling has paid limited attention to the effects that patients' psychological characteristics have on the effectiveness of treatments. This case study tests 1) the feasibility of incorporating psychological prediction models of treatment response within an economic model of type 1 diabetes, 2) the potential value of providing treatment to a subgroup of patients, and 3) the cost-effectiveness of providing treatment to a subgroup of responders defined using 5 different algorithms. METHODS . Multiple linear regressions were used to investigate relationships between patients' psychological characteristics and treatment effectiveness. Two psychological prediction models were integrated with a patient-level simulation model of type 1 diabetes. Expected value of individualized care analysis was undertaken. Five different algorithms were used to provide treatment to a subgroup of predicted responders. A cost-effectiveness analysis compared using the algorithms to providing treatment to all patients. RESULTS . The psychological prediction models had low predictive power for treatment effectiveness. Expected value of individualized care results suggested that targeting education at responders could be of value. The cost-effectiveness analysis suggested, for all 5 algorithms, that providing structured education to a subgroup of predicted responders would not be cost-effective. LIMITATIONS . The psychological prediction models tested did not have sufficient predictive power to make targeting treatment cost-effective. The psychological prediction models are simple linear models of psychological behavior. Collection of data on additional covariates could potentially increase statistical power. CONCLUSIONS . By collecting data on psychological variables before an intervention, we can construct predictive models of treatment response to interventions. These predictive models can be incorporated into health economic models to investigate more complex service delivery and reimbursement strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined changes in motor function and quality of life (QoL) after subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and the role of psychosocial predictors on individual changes. METHODS Forty-one patients with advanced PD (29 men and 12 women; mean age: 62.0 ± 8.0; disease duration: 14.5 ± 5.7) completed self-report questionnaires before surgery and at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Psychosocial measures assessed coping strategies (Ways of Coping Checklist-Revised), symptoms of depression (Beck Depression Inventory version II), anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), and QoL (Parkinson Disease Questionnaire 39 Items, Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey). RESULTS After surgery, motor function (Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale III and IV), global QoL (Parkinson Disease Questionnaire 39 Items) and Physical Component Summary of the Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36-items Health Survey improved, whereas the Mental Component Summary tended to deteriorate. Depression and anxiety were stable. Improvements in motor function and QoL were associated with younger age, shorter duration of illness, higher baseline distress (depression and anxiety), and changes in problem-focused coping. Improvements in mental QoL were associated with a less frequent use of coping focused on seeking social support. CONCLUSIONS STN-DBS is associated with major positive changes in PD affecting motor function and QoL. These changes are related to psychological variables, including emotional distress and coping. A better focus on these individual characteristics is necessary to improve care of patients with PD who undertake STN-DBS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the extent to which self-regulation skills of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), including executive functioning and emotion regulation, relate to treatment adherence and glycemic control. METHOD Participants were 109 adolescents aged 12-18 yr with TID and their primary caregiver who attended an outpatient appointment at a pediatric endocrinology clinic. Parents and adolescents completed a measure of treatment adherence. Parents completed a self-regulation measure while a glycemic control measure [i.e., hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)] was collected. RESULTS For boys, executive functioning and emotion regulation deficits were significantly associated with worse treatment adherence and glycemic control. Further analyses indicated that emotion regulation was the primary self-regulation measure related to treatment adherence and glycemic control. No significant associations were found for girls. CONCLUSION For adolescent boys, the ability to cope with various stressors and emotions may be as important as higher-order thinking skills for maximizing treatment adherence and diabetes control. Clinical implications and potential mechanisms by which emotion regulation skills relate to adolescent boys' diabetes treatment management are discussed.

Factors associated with psychological and behavioral functioning in people with type 2 diabetes living in France. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2010; 8:124.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify demographic and clinical factors associated with psychological and behavioral functioning (PBF) in people with type 2 diabetes living in France. METHODS In March 2002, approximately 10,000 adults, who had been reimbursed for at least one hypoglycemic treatment or insulin dose during the last quarter of 2001, received a questionnaire about their health status and PBF (3,646 responders). For this analysis, the 3,090 persons with type 2 diabetes, aged 18-85 years old were selected.PBF was measured with the adapted version of the Diabetes Health Profile for people with type 2 diabetes. This permitted the calculation of three functional scores - psychological distress (PD), barriers to activity (BA), and disinhibited eating (DE) - from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). RESULTS Major negative associations were observed with PBF for microvascular complications (a difference of 6.7 in the BA score between persons with and without microvascular complications) and severe hypoglycemia (difference of 7.9 in the BA score), insulin treatment (-8.5 & -9.5 in the PD & BA scores respectively, as compared to treatment with oral hypoglycemic agents), non-adherence to treatment (-12.3 in the DE score for persons forgetting their weekly treatment), increasing weight (-8.5 & -9.7 in the PD & DE scores respectively, as compared to stable weight), at least one psychiatrist visit in 2001 (-8.9 in the DE score), and universal medical insurance coverage (-7.9 in the PD score) (due to low income). CONCLUSION Prevention and management of microvascular complications or adherence to treatment (modifiable factors) could be essential to preserving or improving PBF among people with type 2 diabetes. A specific approach to type 2 diabetes management may be required in groups with a low socioeconomic profile (particularly people with universal medical insurance coverage), or other non modifiable factors.

Coping style and depression influence the healing of diabetic foot ulcers: observational and mechanistic evidence. Diabetologia 2010; 53:1590-8. [PMID: 20411235 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-010-1743-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2009] [Accepted: 03/10/2010] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Experimental evidence suggests that the healing of diabetic foot ulcers is affected by psychosocial factors such as distress. We examined this proposal in a prospective study, in which we considered the role of psychological distress and coping style in the healing of diabetic foot ulcers over a 24 week period. We also explored the role of salivary cortisol and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as potential mechanisms. METHODS For this prospective observational study we recruited 93 (68 men; mean age 60 years) patients with neuropathic or neuroischaemic diabetic foot ulcers from specialist podiatry clinics in secondary care. Clinical and demographic determinants of healing, psychological distress, coping, salivary cortisol and both MMP2 and MMP9 were assessed at baseline. Ulcers were assessed at baseline and at 6, 12 and 24 weeks post-baseline. The primary outcome was ulcer status at 24 weeks, i.e. healed vs not healed. RESULTS After controlling for clinical and demographic determinants of healing, ulcer healing at 24 weeks was predicted by confrontation coping, but not by depression or anxiety. Patients with unhealed ulcers exhibited greater confrontation coping (model including depression: OR 0.809, 95% CI 0.704-0.929, p = 0.003; model including anxiety: OR 0.810, 95% CI 0.704-0.930, p = 0.003). However, change in ulcer size over the observation period was associated with depression only (p = 0.04, d = 0.31). Healed ulcers by 24 weeks were also associated with lower evening cortisol, higher precursor MMP2 and a greater cortisol awakening response. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Confrontation coping and depression predict ulcer healing. Our preliminary enquiry into biological mechanisms suggests that cortisol and precursor MMP2 may underlie these relationships.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To highlight recent publications in the area of stress and coping, with specific reference to women's physical health status. RECENT FINDINGS The transactional model of stress and coping continues to be the mainstay of research in this area. Several longitudinal studies have demonstrated that stress appraisal and resultant coping responses affect health outcome and health-related quality of life in women. In addition to problem-focused coping, women often use distraction methods, seeking social support and faith or religious coping. Psychological interventions in chronic medical conditions need to move beyond education and incorporate more cognitive behavioral components, at the same time addressing women's specific needs. SUMMARY Coping behaviors in response to the negative threat appraisal of a chronic or severe medical illness serve to reduce psychological distress. However, it is still not clear how they impact at the physiological level. In addition, coping responses, which enhance positive effects and promote health-related quality of life, merit greater attention from researchers. There is a need for more gender comparative research to improve health outcomes in men and women.
