This study examined the role of stress and adjustment in diabetics (high and low
blood sugar) and suggested some coping strategies. Stress and adjustment does
not depend upon any single aspect of individual’s personality but upon the total
organisation and integration of traits within the individual thus the study also
emphasises the comparison with the normal individuals. The sample comprised of
ninety individuals, both male and female within the age group of 35 to 45 years
(n=30 in each group). Mean scores revealed that level of all the four above mentioned
stresses was higher for both high and low blood sugar groups and average for normal
respondents. Adjustment level was also better in normal respondents as compared
to the diabetes patients. The computed F ratio was also found to be significant
which indicates that diabetes significantly affects the adjustment & stress levels of
individuals
