Evidence supports diabetes distress’ (distress hereafter) effect on diabetes self-management. Few studies have examined factors that influence distress. We used self-reported cross-sectional data from Medicaid beneficiaries in Louisiana to examine psychosocial and clinical factors and their associations with distress. The sample (n=345) was mostly female (75%) , age >45 (77%) , Black (65%) , >years since diabetes diagnosis (51%) , had A1c values ≥7.0% (46%) or unknown (30%) , high distress (71%) , ≥1 social needs (94%) , poor self-rated health (68%) , lower stress (54%) and depression (51%) , more social support (56%) , high # of comorbidities (7.3 ± 2.9) and burden (21.2 ± 11.3) , medication adherence challenges (21%) , and moderately strong self-efficacy (56.0 ± 15.1) . Correlations revealed time since diabetes diagnosis (r= -.11, p Disclosure N.Verdecias: None. A.Mcqueen: None. R.E.Smith: n/a. M.Kreuter: None.
