Abstract

Nine insulin-dependent diabetic adults were exposed to a blood glucose discrimination training program. Following baseline, during which Ss estimated their blood glucose levels twice daily, Ss received immediate feedback regarding the accuracy of their estimates. The procedure resulted in a large increase in accuracy of blood glucose estimation. Improvements in the ability to detect changes in blood glucose levels in the absence of chemical assessment, however, did not have a significant effect on long-term metabolic control. The implications of these findings are discussed.
