The primary approach to preventing diabetes-related complications in individuals with T1D is the exogenous administration of insulin. However, this method can sometimes lead to hypoglycemia, a condition with a wide range of symptoms, including loss of consciousness, seizures, coma, and, in severe cases, death. This study aims to present the psychometric properties of the Greek translation of the Hypoglycemic Confidence Scale (HCS). The HCS measures an individual's sense of personal strength and comfort based on the belief that they possess the necessary resources to manage and prevent hypoglycemia-related complications. <b>Methods:</b> We conducted a forward and backward translation, along with a cultural adaptation, of the HCS into Greek. The psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis. To assess the reliability, we calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient, while internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's coefficient α. Construct validity was evaluated through convergent and divergent validity, comparing the HCS-Gr with the Diabetes Quality of Life Brief Clinical Inventory (DQoL-BCI) and hemoglobin A1C levels.
