Overall, subjective perceptions of glucose seem to be more influential on diabetes distress than objective CGM parameters of glycaemic control. N-of-1 analyses showed that CGM-measured and perceived glucose control had differential associations with diabetes distress and psychosocial well-being 3 months later. The results highlight the need to understand the individual drivers of diabetes distress to develop personalised interventions within a precision mental health approach.
