Emotional Intelligence is Associated with Blood Level Glucose: A Brief Report
Journal Title: Journal of Endocrinology and Diabetes - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Preliminary evidence associate aspects of emotion regulation and effective management of emotion-driven behavior with health outcomes in general and diabetic outcomes in particular. This study examined this association in a sample of 90 adult type 1 diabetic patients from an outpatient clinic in Israel. They provided non identifying demographic data and took 2 measures of emotional intelligence (test and self-report format) while also reporting their mean blood level glucose from their glucometers. The results support the hypothesized association: Both measures of EI showed unique negative associations with mean blood glucose levels. The results are briefly discussed and possible implications are pointed out.
