WASHINGTON -- Children with type 1 diabetes living in chaotic home environments had significantly higher levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), researchers reported here.

Children whose scores on the CHAOS (confusion, hubbub, and order scale) at baseline were more than one standard deviation above the mean had significantly higher HbA1c levels 6 months later (9.63% versus 8.45%, t= −2.77, P<0.01), according to Laura Levin, DO, from the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and colleagues.
