National Epidemiological Study of the Possible Impact of Stress on Glycaemic Control in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

The EPISTRESS2 study is a one-off cross-sectional epidemiological survey, carried out via an online form in patients with type 1 diabetes followed up by participating investigating centres.

In type 1 diabetes (T1DM), studies on stress and its impact on glycaemia have led to ambiguous results, mainly because there are no solid epidemiological or experimental data in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of perceived stress on blood glucose levels in a population of subjects with T1DM at 10 national centres.
