Does Diabetes Related Distress Impact on Balance Glycemic ?

The main objective is to assess the overall diabetes distress score in adult patients with diabetes during their hospitalization in a diabetes ward, using the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS-17).

The correlation between the overall diabetes distress score and the patient's glycosylated haemoglobin will then be assessed.

The health consequences of emotional problems are associated with poor self-care behaviour, poor metabolic outcomes (HbA1c) and reduced quality of life. If quarterly glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) testing is the gold standard for monitoring the risk of diabetes complications, should it not be systematically combined with the assessment of distress related to living with diabetes? To our knowledge, there are few studies in France that have correlated glycaemic control with a scale assessing the emotional stress factors associated with diabetes.

The main objective is to evaluate diabetes-related distress in adult patients with diabetes during their hospitalization in a diabetes ward, using a self-assessment instrument: the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS-17).

The secondary objective is to assess the correlation between the overall diabetes distress score and the patient's glycosylated haemoglobin.
