Methods: The Adult Self-Report Scale V1.1 (ASRS) for ADHD symptoms was electronically sent to 2069 adults with T1D. Cardiometabolic conditions, laboratory measurements, and PHQ-2\/PHQ-9 depression scores were obtained from the electronic medical record. Results: In total, 292 (14.1%) individuals responded and 279 consented to medical records extraction. The average age was 47.4 years (SD: \u00b118.9), 64.2% were women, 95.7% were non-Hispanic white, and the mean HbA1c level was 7.7% (\u00b11.5%). Of 273 completing ASRS, 87 med ADHD criteria (ASRS positive, 31.9%), and 42 (15.4%) had an ADHD diagnosis or medication. Women had higher scores than men. ADHD symptoms decreased with age, but remained significantly higher than the general population levels. HbA1c levels were positively associated with the ASRS scores (Spearman\u2019s r = 0.28, p &lt; 0.0001). ASRS positive individuals had worse glycemic control (HbA1c \u2265 8.0%, adjusted OR 2.3, 95%CI: 1.3\u20134.1, p &lt; 0.0001) and higher PHQ-9 scores (10 \u00b1 7.3 vs. 6.1 \u00b1 6, \u03c72(1) = 9.2, p = 0.002) than the ASRS negative group. No associations were found between ASRS scores and cardiometabolic diseases, or other laboratory or clinical measurements. Conclusions: Many adults with T1D exhibit undiagnosed ADHD symptoms, which correlate with poorer glycemic control and depression. Further research with larger samples is needed to investigate ADHD prevalence and impacts in this group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14103606","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]],"date-time":"2025-05-21T09:58:22Z","timestamp":1747821502000},"page":"3606","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Attention-Deficit\/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms Are Common and Associated with Worse Glycemic Control in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2104-0963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanli","family":"Zhang-James","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Norton College of Medicine, SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 East Adams Street, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Draytsel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norton College of Medicine, SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 East Adams Street, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ben","family":"Carguello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norton College of Medicine, SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 East Adams Street, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9217-3982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephen V.","family":"Faraone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Norton College of Medicine, SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 East Adams Street, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"},{"name":"Department of Neuroscience and Physiology, Norton College of Medicine, SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 East Adams Street, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5859-5666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruth S.","family":"Weinstock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Norton College of Medicine, SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 East Adams Street, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"345","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpp.12381","article-title":"Annual Research Review: A meta-analysis of the worldwide prevalence of mental disorders in children and adolescents","volume":"56","author":"Polanczyk","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
