Objective:To explore the relation between the onset of diabetes type Ⅱ (NIDDM) andpsychosocial factors. Methods: A total of 131 subjects impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) and 91 controls with normal glucose tolerance were followed up for an average of 18 months with oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) and evaluation of coping style questionnaire, social support scale and Eysenck personality questionnaire.Results: The subjects changing from IGT to　NIDDM and keeping IGT during follow-up had a significantly lower use of social support than themselves before follow-up(P0.05). The subjects changing from IGT to normal had a significantly higher score of active coping style than those changing form IGT into NIDDM (P0.05). There was no difference of psychosocial factors among groups who changed from normal glucose tolerance. There was no difference of personality dimensions in EPQ among groups. Conclusion:Social support and coping style had some effects on the blood glucose change of IGT subjects.Patients with NIDDM did not have premorbid personality feature in EPQ.
