Background Over the past few decades the benefits of assessing Quality of Life (QoL) and mental health in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) have steadily increased with limited studies relating to the most useful method to assess these patients. This study aims to identify, review, summarise, and evaluate the methodological quality for the most validated commonly used health-related QoL and mental health assessment measurements in diabetic patients. Methods All original articles published on PubMed, MedLine, OVID, The Cochrane Register, Web of Science Conference Proceedings and Scopus databases were systematically reviewed between 2011 and 2022. A search strategy was developed for each database using all possible combinations of the following keywords: “type 2 diabetes mellitus”, “quality of life”, mental health”, and “questionnaires”. Studies conducted on patients with T2DM of ≥ 18 years with or without other clinical illnesses were included. Articles designed as a literature or systematic review conducted on either children or adolescents, healthy adults and/or with a small sample size were excluded. Results A total of 489 articles were identified in all of the electronic medical databases. Of these articles, 40 were shown to meet our eligibility criteria to be included in this systematic review. Approximately, 60% of these studies were cross-sectional, 22.5% were clinical trials, and 17.5% of cohort studies. The top commonly used QoL measurements are the SF-12 identified in 19 studies, the SF-36, included in 16 studies, and the EuroQoL EQ-5D, found in 8 studies. Fifteen (37.5%) studies used only one questionnaire, while the remaining reviewed (62.5%) used more than one questionnaire. Finally, the majority (90%) of studies reported using self-administered questionnaires and only 4 used interviewer mode of administration. Conclusion Our evidence highlights that the commonly used questionnaire to evaluate the QoL and mental health is the SF-12 followed by SF-36. Both of these questionnaires are validated, reliable and supported in different languages. Moreover, using single or combined questionnaires as well as the mode of administration depends on the clinical research question and aim of the study.

“…1). Also, it is worth noting that many of the negative side-effects of nonremovable knee-high devices, such as gait and balance impairments [42][43][44][45], low weight-bearing activity level [42], restrictions of daily activities, and low quality of life [46], are already common in this patient group [47][48][49][50][51][52]. Thus, the knee-high devices seem to increase pre-existing gait challenges and their consequences in a patient group that is already burdened.…”

Physical activity is an essential part of general health and diabetes management. However, recommending weight-bearing physical activity for people with plantar diabetic foot ulcers is controversial, even when gold standard offloading devices are used, as it is commonly thought to delay healing. We aimed to narratively review relevant studies investigating the relationship between plantar diabetic foot ulcer healing and weight-bearing activity, plantar pressure and device adherence. We defined relevant studies as those from two systematic reviews, along with those identified since using a similar updated Pubmed search strategy. We identified six studies. One study found that more daily steps were associated

“…The so-called “diabetic pandemia” deeply changed the typical diabetic patient and this involves also DF 30 : a new kind of DF patients emerged: besides the old bedridden ischemic patient, we have now more young patients to whom we have the full responsibility to guarantee not only healing but also the restoration of an acceptable quality of life after the resolution of the acute episode. 31…”

To test safety and efficacy of bioactive glass, a novel material used to replace bone, able to completely bond itself to the host tissues on patients treated for osteomyelitis (OM) complicating a diabetic foot (DF). We evaluated a group of patients consecutively admitted in our department between September and December 2018, who underwent surgical DF procedures for OM and in whom the use of bioactive glass could limit the demolition phase of surgical procedure. Patients were treated with bioactive glass S53P4 on top of standard treatment directly in operating room. The patients were weekly controlled for 6 months or until complete healing. During follow-up, we analyzed primarily healing rate and secondarily time of healing, need for further debridement procedures, recurrences, and adverse or hypersensitivity reactions to study treatment. Ten DF patients were enrolled (male/female 6/4; mean age 56 ± 11 years; mean duration of diabetes 10.5 ± 4.7 years, mean hemoglobin A1c 7.2 ± 0.9%). Patients underwent surgical procedure during which, after an accurate debridement, bioactive glass was applied. A healing rate of 80% in a mean time of 34 ± 2 days, with only 1 patient who needed a second surgical look, was observed. Neither recurrences nor adverse events during follow-up were observed in treated patients. This pilot experience demonstrated that bioactive glass can be considered a useful tool for the surgical treatment of DF-related OM.
