2We thank the families who participated in this study, thus making it possible. The assistance of the health care team at the Comprehensive Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus Health Care Program in conducting this study is acknowledged with appreciation. We also thank Anna Kline and G. Gordon Williamson for their helpful suggestions on drafts of this paper. The comments of two anonymous reviewers are appreciated.

In this study with youngsters with insulin-dependent diabetes, there were a number of significant correlations among psychological variables. However, with two exceptions, metabolic indices were not correlated with psychological variables or symptom reporting. Correlations involving aspects of symptom reporting suggest relationships with psychological factors. Implications for treatment decisions are presented. Additionally, theoretical, psychometric, and methodological considerations are discussed.

Key words: insulin-dependent diabetes; youngsters; symptom reporting; glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlC); psychological variables.
