“…Similar to the study of Kueh et al [ 28 ], in our study, self-care behavior of blood sugar control was correlated with the quality of life of patients with T2DM patients. Findings of the study also are in line with those of similar study performed by Lukacs et al [ 29 ] on T2DM patients that found an association between increased physical activity and higher quality of life. Therefore, it can be recommended that the health workers may promote physical activity among T2DM patients to help them improve their quality of life.…”

BackgroundSelf-care of diabetes is an essential part for controlling the disease and improvement of quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This study aimed to analyze the associated factors of quality of life in patients with T2DM in order to design effective interventions.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 T2DM patients referred to health centers of Chaldoran, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. The quality of life's questionnaires from World Health Organization and the self-care behaviors' questionnaires were used for data collection.ResultsThe mean age of patients was 46.30% and 53.30% of them were male. Among demographic variables, gender (P=0.002), age groups (P=0.007), and household monthly income (P=0.009) were significantly associated with total quality of life. Also, self-care nutrition (odds ratio [OR], 1.47; P=0.001), self-management of blood glucose control (OR, 1.29; P=0.002), and self-medication behavior (OR, 1.18; P=0.030) were identified as factors significantly associated with quality of life.ConclusionSelf-care behaviors were significantly associated with quality of life; among them, the greatest influence was observed in self-care nutrition behavior. According to the findings of this study, appropriate interventions on self-care behaviors about nutrition can improve the quality of life for T2DM patients.

“…In a study conducted by Saleh et al (9), exercise had a significant relationship with all domains of QoL. Lukacs et al showed that increas- ing physical activity could improve the quality of life (24). Due to the direct connection between them, it is necessary to promote physical activity among T2DM patients.…”

Background: Diabetes is a highly prevalent metabolic disorder in the world. Complications of diabetes mellitus can have an extreme effect on the quality of life in terms of physical and mental health, as well as social and environmental well-being. Objectives: The current study aimed to measure the quality of life, its determinants, and self-care behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the diabetes clinic of Imam Reza hospital in Mashhad on 140 patients with type 2 diabetes from October to December 2019. The Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF-26 items) were used for data collection. Data analysis was carried out with the Mann-Whitney test and ANCOVA. Results: The mean age of study participants was 58.41 ± 8.91 years, and the majority of them (67.14%) were female. The overall self-care score was 43.32 ± 10.93 in males and 39.93 ± 9.94 in females. The mean scores of the dimensions of quality of life were 61.29 ± 15.66 for physical health, 60.62 ± 13.70 for mental health, 68.67 ± 11.63 for social health, and 61.54 ± 14.88 for environmental health. Among self-care behaviors, physical activity (P = 0.006) was a stronger predictor of quality of life. Demographic characteristics (except for the duration of disease, family history, and age) showed significant correlations with the overall aspects of quality of life. Conclusions: The quality of life of people with diabetes was correlated with some demographic variables. However, the duration of disease, family history, and age did not have any effect on the quality of life. We found that the self-care behavior of physical activity was a significant predictor of quality of life in adults with diabetes. Therefore, it is important to implement programs to improve self-care behaviors.

“…1 However, insulin dependence, together with multicomorbidity, makes diabetes management complex because of the need to achieve adequate control of blood glucose and other risk factors while preserving an acceptable quality of life for the patient. 2 To reduce the risk of invalidating complications and rationalize health expenditure through more modern and effective treatments, developing self‐management remains a key strategy. 3 In addition, insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) have proven to be valuable aids, showing advantages in terms of glycemic compensation, risk of hypoglycemia, and quality of life.…”

Rationale and aims Outpatient group visits in diabetes care have several potential advantages and can be simplified by the new technologies. The aim of this study was to assess feasibility and effectiveness of group visits vs individual visits in adults with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, CSII) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Methods Outpatient setting for group visits (2‐hour duration, quarterly, 6‐8 patients) was the projection on giant screen of each patient's CGM and insulin pump data, with interactive discussion moderated by a diabetologist. Anthropometric measures and glycemic control (HbA1c) were assessed before and after a mean observation period of 4.4 ± 1.2 years (mean ± standard deviation, M ± SD) in CSII patients followed by group visits (GROUP) or individual visits (INDIVIDUAL) between 2013 and 2019. Results At the beginning of the observation, GROUP and INDIVIDUAL cohorts were strictly matched for gender (M/F = 37/35 and 37/35), age, diabetes duration, body mass index (BMI), CSII duration, and HbA1c level. HbA1c levels did not change significantly between beginning and end of observation in either cohort (GROUP 7.54 ± 0.80% and 7.60 ± 0.79%, P = .585; INDIVIDUAL 7.73 ± 1.27% and 7.60 ± 1.08%, P = .281) (time*visit effect P = .232, two‐way repeated measures analysis of variance [ANOVA]). Body weight remained unchanged in the GROUP cohort (73.2 ± 14.0 vs 73.8 ± 14.8 kg, P = .361), while it increased in the INDIVIDUAL cohort (70.3 ± 13.5 vs 73.0 ± 13.7 kg, P < 0.001) (time*visit effect P = .009). Conclusions Group care is feasible in adult patients with type 1 diabetes using new technologies. Group visits can be beneficial in inducing lifestyle changes, as indicated by the favorable effects observed on body weight trend.
