Abstract
This study piloted a measure of diabetes-specific behavioral automaticity in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and examined its associations with self-regulation and adherence. Self-regulation was positively associated with diabetes-specific behavioral automaticity. Greater automaticity in checking blood glucose prior to eating and adjusting insulin after eating predicted greater daily adherence.
