Sintesi	The Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS) is a self-report measure that quantifies fear of, anxiety about, and behavioral responses to hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes and insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. Originally developed by Cox and colleagues in 1987 and revised (HFS-II) in 1993, the HFS captures the emotional and behavioral impact of hypoglycemia risk, particularly the tendency to run higher blood glucose to avoid episodes, making it essential for understanding a major barrier to optimal glucose control in insulin-dependent diabetes.	The Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) is a 17-item self-report measure that quantifies emotional and psychosocial distress specifically related to living with and managing diabetes. Developed by Polonsky and colleagues in 2005, the DDS captures diabetes-specific worries (e.g., regimen burden, fear of complications, social stigma, lack of support) that are distinct from generalized depression or anxiety, making it essential for identifying and addressing the emotional obstacles to optimal diabetes self-management.
