AB  - Aims. To examine the association between Type D personality and HbA1c level and 
      to explore the mediating role of medication adherence between them in patients 
      with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods. 330 patients went on to complete a 
      self-report measure of medication adherence and the HbA1c tests. Chi-square test, 
      T test, Ordinary Least Square Regression (OLS), and Recentered Influence Function 
      Regression (RIF) were employed. Results. Patients with Type D personality had 
      significantly higher HbA1c value (P < 0.01). When Type D personality was 
      operationalized as a categorical variable, SI was associated with HbA1c (P < 
      0.01). When NA, SI, and their interaction term were entered into regression, all 
      of them were no longer associated with HbA1c level (P > 0.1). On the other hand, 
      when Type D personality was operationalized as a continuous variable, only SI 
      trait was associated with HbA1c level (P < 0.01). When NA, SI, and NA x SI term 
      together were entered into regression, only SI was not related to HbA1c level. 
      Furthermore, medication adherence had a significant mediation effect between Type 
      D personality and HbA1c, accounting for 54.43% of the total effect. Conclusion. 
      Type D personality was associated with HbA1c in direct and indirect ways, and 
      medication adherence acted as a mediator role.
