Thirty three patients with DM1 completed a battery of psychological tests (DQOL, BDI, STAI and MHLC). Results indicate that anxiety, sex and complications are important variables that can explain the quality of life. Although glycemic control, locus of internal control or depression have not reached statistical significance in any of the models, they should not be rejected. These results suggest important implications for the integral treatment of these patients.}, year = {2010}, journal = {Ansiedad y Estrés}, volume = {16}, number = {1}, pages = {13-31}, month = {01/2010}, publisher = {Sociedad Española para el Estudio de la Ansiedad y el Estrés}, issn = {1134-7937}, isbn = {2174-0437}, }
