(每題題目皆需附上答案) (10%)Nathan Reilly has had Type 1 diabetes since he was a baby. And until recently, the 19-year-old alwayshad his mother to help remind him of the litany of tasks people with diabetes must do: check blood sugar; adjust insulin pump; watch what you eat; be careful how much you run around.Now a freshman at Pennsylvania State University, Reilly feels confident he can manage on his own. He spent much of his senior year of high school practicing the routine, preparing. But of course he still worries a little.A few times in high school, during hockey season, Reilly fell asleep with low blood sugar and experienced a seizure overnight. The experience was scary, but at least his mom was there to take care of him.Now living in a dorm room, if his blood sugar is low when he tests before bed, Reilly plans to stay awake until it comes up.Diabetes distress-which is different from regular stress and anxiety-is high among college students and can negatively affect their quality of life, according to a small survey-based study in Ohio."This is a population we need to focus on in terms of addressing their health outcomes," said Elizabeth A. Beverly, an assistant professor of medicine at Ohio University and the study's lead author. "If you're not controlling your diabetes ... for even four years, that can have a major impact in terms of complications down the road."Diabetes distress is a negative emotional reaction to the experience of living with a condition that requires around-the-clock attention and lifestyle changes.People with Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition in which the body does not produce insulin, must diligently track their blood sugar levels and their carb intake and administer insulin. People with Type 2 diabetes, where insulin production is compromised, may also need to adhere to nutrition guidelines and take medication.To better understand diabetes distress on university campuses, Ohio University researchers conducted anonline survey in December 2017 and January 2018.Of the 173 people who completed the survey, 56 were students and 117 were employees. About half ofthe participants had Type 1 diabetes; the remainder had Type 2.The findings support earlier research that diabetes stress is a significant issue and point to the need formore research among a broader student and faculty population, Beverly said.About 27 percent of respondents with Type 1 diabetes and 30 percent of respondents with Type 2 reported high diabetes distress.Students reported higher rates of diabetes distress than faculty and staff, Beverly said.Feelings of powerlessness, stress about eating properly and adequately managing diabetes were the most common concerns participants reported.Many survey respondents showed signs of severe depression.Food is something Reilly thinks about a lot and is an aspect of college he anticipates he'll need to approach with extra care."Foods that wouldn't be an issue for just anyone are an issue for me," Reilly said.Pizza, for example, is loaded with fat and carbs. Reilly must plan carefully to adjust his insulin pump to accommodate the effect a slice would have on his blood sugar levels.As he starts out in a new school, Reilly wants to make sure the new friends and classmates he meets don'tmisunderstand what it means to have diabetes. Sure, he can't eat whatever he wants whenever he wants,but he is still in control of his life."It is kind of a pain to deal with, but a lot of people that I come across are like,'Oh, you can't do this, you can't do that.' And that's not the case," Reilly said. "I can do pretty mucheverything someone without diabetes can do; I just have to be careful."
