Abstract
Previous research has suggested that psychological factors, such as anxiety, may have a role to play in the control of type 1 diabetes. Specifically, one study has shown that raised levels of anxiety in people with type 1 diabetes may lead to complications, while people with diabetes who demonstrated more adaptive coping strategies have been shown to have better overall blood glucose control. The current study aims to expand on previous research by looking at the impact of type 1 diabetes and metabolic control on feelings of anxiety and lifestyle. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data from a small sample of people with type 1 diabetes and the responses were analysed for recurrent themes.
