The Relationship of Stress Perception with the Level of Fasting Blood Sugar and Glycated Hemoglobin in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus

This study was aimed at investigating the relationship of stress perception and psychopathology with the level of fasting blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin. Stress perception and psychopathology were investigated in 50 inpatients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients, scores of stress perception and SCL-90-R had no significant correlation with fasting blood sugar level. In these patients, however, concentration of glycated hemoglobin had significantly negative correlation with scores of stress perception related to work, job and school. On the other hand, severity of physical symptoms rated by the patients had no significant correlation with score of stress perception and SCL-90-R, respectively. These results suggested that past severity of diabetes mellitus might decrease stress perception, although its recent severity did not make any influence on stress perception.
