Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find out which of five Quality of life (QoL) questionnaires are reliable and valid for evaluating the QoL in German patients with type 2 diabetes: the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ), the Well-Being Questionnaire (WBQ), the Short Form SF36 of the Medical Outcome Study (SF36), the Diabetes39 and the Quality of Life with Diabetes (LQD) questionnaire.

“…The PCS-12 was statistically lower in subjects treated with oral hypoglycaemic drugs (41.78 ± 9.77) than in subjects without oral medications (44.68 ± 9.52). Patients on insulin treatment had a significantly lower MCS-12 score, which further substantiates previous reports [12,17] of the adverse effect of insulin injections on HRQOL.…”
