“…In the current study, the largest impact of diabetes in all groups was observed on the 'freedom to eat', 'feelings about future', and 'freedom to drink' dimensions. Similar results were reported in earlier studies involving patients with both types of diabetes [13,[22][23][24]. The negative impact from the loss of dietary flexibility on the patients' diabetes-specific QoL refers not only to dietary restrictions around healthy eating and weight loss, but also the need to regularly monitor the relationship between food intake, energy expenditure, and blood glucose level for the majority of patients with diabetes.…”

Aim The impact of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) on quality of life (QoL) has never been examined. We assessed disease impact on QoL among patients with HNF1A-MODY and GCK mutation carrier status. Methods The study included 80 patients with HNF1A-MODY and 89 GCK gene mutation carriers. We also examined 128 type 1 diabetes (T1DM) patients for comparison. Diabetes-specific QoL was assessed using the Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life questionnaire. Results HNF1A-MODY and GCK-MODY groups had similar mean age (41.7 vs. 38.0 years, respectively) and BMI (24.1 vs. 24.3 kg/m 2), whereas T1DM patients were on average younger (34.2 years) with similar BMI (25.0 kg/m 2). Less than a third of GCK mutation carriers were on pharmacotherapy (n = 20, 31%), while the majority of HNF1A mutation carriers used oral drugs or insulin (n = 66, 82.5%). While current QoL was similar across the three groups (p = 0.66), two other major indices-the impact of diabetes on QoL and the average weighted impact (AWI)-differed among them (p < 0.001 for both comparisons). The impact of diabetes on patient QoL and AWI observed in both MODY groups was smaller than in T1DM. Etiological diagnosis of diabetes and a diagnosis of retinopathy were the only independent factors influencing the impact of diabetes on QoL and AWI in regression analysis. In HNF1A-MODY, all three major indices of QoL were more heavily influenced for patients on insulin in comparison to other treatment subgroups. Conclusion MODY has a smaller negative impact on QoL compared to T1DM. Mode of treatment further stratifies QoL decline for HNF1A-MODY subjects.

“…The scale comprises 19 domain‐specific questions where individuals are asked to rate how various aspects of their lives are affected if they do not have diabetes. Both English and Chinese versions of the instrument have been validated locally (Soon et al., ; Wee, Tan, Goh, & Li ). The English version of instrument is culturally appropriate, valid and reliable among Singaporean patients with diabetes (Cronbach's alpha = .94) (Wee et al., ).…”

“…The English version of instrument is culturally appropriate, valid and reliable among Singaporean patients with diabetes (Cronbach's alpha = .94) (Wee et al., ). The scale in the Chinese language has also demonstrated sound psychometric properties with good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .94) and test–retest reliability (ICC = .95) (Soon et al., ).…”

“…Of these, several have been found to have good psychometric properties [7,8], including the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) questionnaire [9,10]. Despite recognition of diabetes-specific quality of life as a useful patient reported outcome, as well as numerous studies designed to investigate the psychometric properties of the ADDQoL [11-13], little work has been done to investigate the factors associated with diabetes-specific quality of life in large scale epidemiological studies.…”

BackgroundWhile factors associated with health-related quality of life for people with chronic diseases including diabetes are well researched, far fewer studies have investigated measures of disease-specific quality of life. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of complications and comorbidities on diabetes-specific quality of life in a large population-based cohort of type 2 diabetic patients.MethodsThe Living with Diabetes Study recruited participants from the National Diabetes Services Scheme in Australia. Data were collected via a mailed self-report questionnaire. Diabetes-specific quality of life was measured using the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) questionnaire. The analyses are for 3609 patients with type 2 diabetes. Regression models with adjustment for control variables investigated the association of complications and comorbidities with diabetes-specific quality of life. Next, the most parsimonious model for diabetes-specific quality of life after controlling for important covariates was examined.ResultsThe expected associations with better diabetes-specific quality of life were evident, such as increased income, not on insulin, better glycaemic control and older age. However, being single and having been diagnosed with cancer were also associated with better ADDQoL. Additionally, poorer diabetes-specific quality of life was strongly sensitive to the presence of diabetes complications and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. These relationships persisted after adjustment for gender, age, duration of diabetes, treatment regimen, sampling region and other treatment and socio-demographic variables.ConclusionsA greater appreciation of the complexities of diabetes-specific quality of life can help tailor disease management and self-care messages given to patients. Attention to mental health issues may be as important as focusing on glycaemic control and complications. Therefore clinicians’ ability to identify and mange mental health issues and/or refer patients is critical to improving patients’ diabetes-specific quality of life.

Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) [Chinese Version for Singapore] Questionnaire

Abstract: The ADDQoL is reliable and probably valid for assessing QOL among Chinese-speaking Singaporeans with T2DM, although known-groups validity warrants further investigation.
