This study examined the association between psychiatric symptoms and diabetes knowledge (DK) among 90 adults with serious mental illness (SMI) and type 2 diabetes.

A Pearson correlation showed no significant relationship between DK and Al C. Although symptom severity and cognitive functioning are both related to DI(among this population, cognitive functioning maybe particularly important.
