Description of intervention(s) / exposure
An observational, cross-sectional study of diabetes distress, conducted at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) Diabetes Centre. The study population comprises the subgroup of patients with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Participants complete the T1-DDS 28-item online questionnaire one-time in the week prior to their scheduled Diabetes Centre clinic appointment.
Participants will complete their routine clinic appointment with their diabetes educator and endocrinologist. At the end of that consultation, on this one occasion:
1. The participant will complete the three item post-consultation patient questionnaire.
2. The diabetes educator will complete the three item-post-consultation educator questionnaire and
3. The treating endocrinologist will complete the single item-post consultation endocrinologist questionnaire.

Summary
Brief summary
Patients complete a validated questionnaire prior to a scheduled clinic appointment followed by another questionnaire after their appointment. The diabetes educator and endocrinologist will also complete a questionnaire after the appointment. HYPOTHESIS: As a piece of observational research, our goals are to: (i) determine the prevalence of diabetes distress within the type 1 diabetes population of the RPAH Diabetes Centre and, (ii) to establish whether there is a correlation between diabetes distress (measured using the T1 DDS questionnaire) and level of glycaemic control (HbA1c) in our patients. AIM: The primary aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of diabetes distress (as measured by the T1-DDS) in a representative sample of the type 1 diabetes population within the RPAH Diabetes Centre. We also wish to establish whether there is a correlation between diabetes distress and level of glycaemic control. Secondary aims of this study include assessing diabetes distress within specific subgroups of patients including: (i) those aged 18-40 years vs those aged >40 years, (ii) those with recently diagnosed diabetes vs those with longstanding diabetes, (iii) those treated with insulin pump (CSII) vs those treated with multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI), and (iv) those of normal weight vs those who are overweight/obese. Additionally, we wish to assess the ability of health professionals (namely, diabetes educators and endocrinologists) to ascertain levels of diabetes distress in patients during routine consultation.
