  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: To study the impact of stress on glycaemia, we chose to conduct an epidemiological study in France on a population of type 1 diabetic patients (T1DM). Many patients frequently and systematically cite stress as a frequent cause, or even the main cause, of the deterioration in their glycaemic control.

About this study

The EPISTRESS2 study is a one-off cross-sectional epidemiological survey, carried out via an online form in patients with type 1 diabetes followed up by participating investigating centres.

In type 1 diabetes (T1DM), studies on stress and its impact on glycaemia have led to ambiguous results, mainly because there are no solid epidemiological or experimental data in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of perceived stress on blood glucose levels in a population of subjects with T1DM at 10 national centres.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary endpoint is the characterisation of 4 profiles of patients with type 1 diabetes on insulin pumps.

    Questionnaire for Assessing the Impact of Stress on Blood Sugar Levels. This questionnaire was designed and developed by CERITD to assess the impact of perceived stress on blood glucose levels in T1DM patients.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Identify sub-populations of patients who feel stressed

    • Identify and profile a sub-population of patients whose blood glucose levels rise in response to stress
    • Identify and profile a sub-population of patients whose blood glucose levels decrease in response to stress

    Questionnaire for Assessing the Impact of Stress on Blood Sugar Levels

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Establish and categorise the different stress factors

    Cungi brief stress evaluation scales The Cungi 1 scale is composed of 8 items. This questionnaire assesses patient stressors.

    The maximum score is 48, the minimum score is 8. A high score reflects a large number of stressors

    The Cungi 2 scale is composed of 11 items. This questionnaire assesses the patient's sensitivity to stress.

    The maximum score is 66, the minimum score is 11. A high score reflects a high senstivity of stress.

    Measured: 30 minutes

  3. Establishing a relationship between personality type and the impact of stress

    State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire. The STAI-Y1 is composed of 20 items. This questionnaire assesses how the patient feels at the present moment. Patients are asked to score each question on a four-point scale (from 1 - corresponding to "not at all" to 4 - "much")

    The STAI-Y2 is composed of 20 items. This questionnaire assesses how the patient feels in general.

    Patients are asked to answer each question on a four-point scale (from 1 - corresponding to "almost never" to 4 - "almost always").

    Measured: 30 minutes

  4. Evaluation of the quality of life score obtained according to the 4 profiles and/or personalities

    EQ-5D-5L (European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions) questionnaire The EQ-5D-5L assesses five health dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension is rated on five levels of severity. The levels of severity for each dimension ranges from no problems (1) to extreme problems/unable to perform (5)

    Measured: 30 minutes
