Abstract
То study the psychological factors determining the subjective assessment of the level ofglycemia, the authors examined 40 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), including 18 males and 22 females aged 21 to 52 years, in whom the history of the disease averaged 16.3± 7.6 years. The study used a structured clinicopsychological interview; psychosemantic procedures for examining the organization of a bodily test; and a procedure for a comprehensive personality study (the MMPI test adapted by F.B. Beretin). The patients having high bodily test scores were established to make a more precise subjective assessment of their own level ofglycemia that those having low scores and they were found to have better glycemic control parameters (p ≤ 0.01). Psychological diagnosis of the "bodily attention" in patients with type 1 DM permitted description of 2 different strategies (rational and sensitive) for making a decision as to the subjective assessment of the level ofglycemia. Inclusion of special trainings aimed at improving the recognition of the symptoms of hypo- and hyperglycemia.
