The role of parent–adolescent attachment in the glycemic control of adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A pilot study
Families, Systems & Health , 10/12/09

Rosenberg T et al. – Mothers’ perceptions of adolescents’ attachment were significantly correlated with adolescents’ hemoglobin A1c, indicating that maternal perceptions of more secure attachment was associated with better glycemic control. Neither fathers’ perceptions nor adolescents’ reports of attachment was significantly correlated with glycemic control. Attachment appears to be associated with glycemic control in this population though the mechanisms are unclear. Mothers’ perceptions of attachment had the strongest associations with control, not adolescent reports. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms through which parent reports of adolescent attachment are associated with glycemic control.
