T1D is a chronic disease affecting both physical and psychosocial health.

SAGE was a multinational, cross-sectional observational study using data from medical records and interviews of people (N=3858) aged ≥26 years with T1D for ≥1 year. The association between the achievement of general (HbA1c <7 %) or individualized HbA1c targets and PRO scores was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for region and age group. The following PROs are reported: Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS-II) worry subscore, Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID), Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (ITSQ), Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL).

Overall, 24.3% of people achieved the general HbA1c target; 20.9% achieved individualized targets (most common target, HbA1c 7 % to <7.5 %). Lower emotional distress (PAID score) and higher treatment satisfaction (all ITSQ scores except Lifestyle domain) were associated with achievement of general and individualized HbA1c targets (Table). Lower HFS-II worry score and higher ADDQoL total scores were associated with achievement of HbA1c general target, but neither was associated with achieving individualized HbA1c targets.

In people with T1D, lower diabetes-related emotional distress and higher treatment satisfaction appear to be associated with achievement of both general and individualized HbA1c targets.
