Stigma was defined as endorsement of one or more of three stigma-specific items of the Barriers to Diabetes Adherence questionnaire. Participants (n = 380) completed a web-based survey and mailed in capillary blood samples for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that stigma prevalence was 65.5 percent. Stigma was associated with a two-fold higher odds of poor glycemic control overall (odds ratio [OR], 2.25) after adjustment for age, sex, and type of treatment. Stigma was also specifically associated with both HbA1c >9 percent (OR, 3.05) and severe hypoglycemia in the previous year (OR, 1.86).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These results should stimulate clinicians, friends, and family members to ask about stigma and work toward addressing it to help youth with type 1 diabetes avoid diabetes-related complications and lead happier and safer lives,&#8221; the authors conclude.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jmir.org\/2018\/4\/e151\/\" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
