Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an auto-immune disease, which is potentially influenced by stress, unlike type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to assess whether individuals with T1D and T2D exhibited significant differences on the Type A personality scale. We also assessed personality in patients with thyroid auto-immune diseases to validate potential links between auto-immune disease and Type A personality.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design and methods<\/jats:title>\n The Bortner questionnaire was used to assess Type A personality in 188 patients with T1D, 430 patients with T2D and 85 patients with auto-immune thyroid disease (Graves\u2019 disease or Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Type A Bortner scores were significantly higher in T1D patients than in T2D patients (188\u2009\u00b1\u200934 vs 177\u2009\u00b1\u200936,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.0001). Patients with auto-immune thyroid diseases and T1D patients had similar Type A Bortner scores (189\u2009\u00b1\u200933 vs 188\u2009\u00b1\u200934,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.860).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Patients with auto-immune T1D have higher Type A scores than T2D patients. Furthermore, patients with auto-immune thyroid disease also have elevated Type A scores similar to those observed in type 1 diabetes, suggesting that an elevated Type A score in T1D is potentially related to its auto-immune origin. This suggests a possible link between Type A personality and auto-immune diseases via stress-triggering psychobiological pathways. The different personality score between T1D and T2D is an important factor, which could influence self-care coping strategies in diabetes and long-term prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/ec-19-0499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,26]],"date-time":"2020-02-26T10:35:38Z","timestamp":1582713338000},"page":"254-260","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Personality types in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"A","family":"Rouland","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Endocrinology Diabetics and Metabolic Disorders Department, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J-C","family":"Chauvet-Gelinier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Psychiatry Unit, Department of Neurosciences, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"},{"name":"3INSERM Unit, LNC-UMR 1231, University of Burgundy, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A-L","family":"Sberna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Endocrinology Diabetics and Metabolic Disorders Department, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"},{"name":"3INSERM Unit, LNC-UMR 1231, University of Burgundy, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Crevisy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Endocrinology Diabetics and Metabolic Disorders Department, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Buffier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Endocrinology Diabetics and Metabolic Disorders Department, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Mouillot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Endocrinology Diabetics and Metabolic Disorders Department, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J-M","family":"Petit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Endocrinology Diabetics and Metabolic Disorders Department, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"},{"name":"3INSERM Unit, LNC-UMR 1231, University of Burgundy, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Verg\u00e8s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Endocrinology Diabetics and Metabolic Disorders Department, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"},{"name":"3INSERM Unit, LNC-UMR 1231, University of Burgundy, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","container-title":["Endocrine Connections"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ec.bioscientifica.com\/view\/journals\/ec\/9\/3\/EC-19-0499.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/ec.bioscientifica.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/ec\/9\/3\/EC-19-0499.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,20]],"date-time":"2026-07-20T13:43:49Z","timestamp":1784555029000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.bioscientifica.com\/ec\/article\/9\/3\/254-260\/640"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/ec-19-0499","relation":{},"ISSN":["2049-3614"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2049-3614","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,3]]}}}
