Levels of diabetes distress and its sources among older adults with type 1 diabetes and relationships to diabetes duration.
Article in Journal of diabetes and its complications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveCharacterize diabetes distress (DD) in older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and explore associations with individual-level characteristics. RESEARCH DESIGN &
methodsAdults ≥65 years with T1D (n = 337; mean 70.7 years) were recruited from the T1D Exchange (08/27/2024-11/05/2024) to complete an electronic survey, including the Type 1 Diabetes Distress Assessment System. Univariable linear regressions were used to assess cross-sectional associations between DD and self-reported sociodemographic, clinical, and diabetes-related variables. Select variables were explored further using bar graphs of DD core and source scores.
resultsThe median (IQR) DD core score was 1.75 (1.375-2.5), and 36.5 % of respondents had a clinically significant DD core score. DD was positively associated with being female (β = 0.37; 95 % CI: 0.20-0.55), higher HbA1c (β = 0.32; 95 % CI: 0.21-0.43), and an emergency room (ER) visit in the past year (β = 0.33; 95 % CI: 0.12-0.53). DD was negatively associated with longer T1D duration (β = -0.01; 95 % CI: -0.02 to -0.01). The most prominent sources of DD were financial, management, and complication worries, and the least prominent were interpersonal, shame, and resources.
conclusionsIn addition to known correlates of DD among individuals with T1D (e.g., HbA1c), this study revealed novel correlates of DD among older adults, including older age at diagnosis, at least one ER visit within the last 12 months, and shorter T1D duration. Limitations include self-reported variables, the cross-sectional nature, and a relatively homogeneous sample by race, high prevalence of technology use, and HbA1c levels largely at goal.
