AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes, accounting 
      for around 90% of all cases worldwide. One means to strengthen the prevention and 
      treatment of diabetes is via changes in self-management and lifestyle behaviors. 
      However, lifestyle and personal health behaviors are strongly influenced by 
      personality traits, and thus personality may play a significant role in such 
      aspects as medication compliance, exercise habits, blood glucose monitoring, diet 
      control, and maintenance of an ideal body weight.In this study, we examined 
      whether certain personality traits of patients with T2DM are correlated with 
      higher glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.A total of 214 participants with T2DM were 
      recruited from an outpatient setting. chi2 test and logistic regression analyses 
      with 5 models were employed.The OR for the "neuroticism" trait was 3.199 (95% CI 
      = 1.228-8.331, P = .017), and those with this trait were 3.199 times more likely 
      to have higher HbA1c levels than those with the "openness-extraversion" 
      personality trait. This strong relationship between neuroticism and a higher 
      HbA1c level was also evident in models 2, 3, 4, and 5. One-way ANOVA also 
      indicated that the group with the neuroticism personality trait had significantly 
      different mean fasting glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein 
      cholesterol levels.We found that a personality characterized by neuroticism is an 
      independent predictor of higher HbA1c level in this study. We also found that 
      people in the pre-contemplation and contemplation stages of exercise have higher 
      HbA1c levels.
