Abstract
BACKGROUND: Despite its poor prognosis, the psychological factors associated with recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis are poorly understood. In people with type 1 diabetes, we assessed for psychopathology in those with and without recurrent DKA. METHOD: The design was a case-control study. Cases were defined as people with two or more DKA episodes in a 12-month period (recurrent DKA). Cases and controls were matched for gender and age. We compared groups for scores on Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck's Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R), Standardised Assessment of Personality-Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS), Interpersonal Problem Inventory (IIP-32), Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) using unpaired t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests for parametric- and non-parametric data respectively. Correction was made for multiple testing. RESULTS: Twenty-three cases and 23 controls were recruited with mean age 31.0 (11.4) years and 65.2% were men. Cases had higher HbA1c levels than controls (101.1 (23.2) vs 85.7 (21.7) mmol/mol, p=0.02. Compared to controls, people with recurrent DKA had higher scores on the BAI (p=0.004), PAID (p=0.004), DERS (p=0.001) and SAPAS (p<0.001). Sixteen of 23 (69.6%) cases screened positive for a personality disorder compared to 6 of 23 (26.1%) controls. CONCLUSIONS: People with recurrent DKA have elevated levels of anxiety and diabetes distress, greater difficulty with emotion regulation and personality dysfunction compared to matched controls.
