Background: Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, no insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. The majority of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes (T2DM). According to the International Diabetes Federation “diabetes is one of the largest global health emergencies of the 21st century”. The World Health Organization (WHO) ranked depression as the fourth most common disease in 2019. The connection between depression and type 2 diabetes was recognized as early as in the 17th century. Today, depression and type 2 diabetes have become a great global challenge. Objective: To determine the prevalence of depression among adult males with type 2 DM attending General Outpatient Clinic of Federal Medical Center, Keffi Nigeria. Methodology: The study design was hospital- based cross-sectional descriptive study on adult male diabetic patients on follow up at the GOPC of FMC Keffi. Systematic random sampling method was used to select participants into the study. A total of 209 participants were recruited into this study, after obtaining informed consent from them. Data collected from the study participants included socio-demographic data, depression was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS, Biochemical Measurement (fasting blood sugar) was taken using the glucometer kits- (ACCU-CHEK Active). Results: The age range of the study population is between 40 and 75 years with majority within 50-59 years (35.5%). A total of 101 (48.3%) of the study participants were identified by the Hamilton’s depression rating scale to be depressed, while 108 (51.7%) had no depression. Among the participants, the risk of developing depression was significantly(p=0.001) found with being divorced or unmarried and unemployment, poor glycaemic control, ingestion of alcohol, cigarette smoking, increase duration of diabetes and presence of erectile dysfunction. Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of depression was 48.3%. Depression is a highly prevalent health problem that is both under-diagnosed and under treated and affects the quality of life of a large number of men with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There is need to screen all diabetics for depression at any clinic visit in view of the observed high prevalence.

“…In recent years, the QOLID questionnaire has been increasingly used among Indian researchers. [ 16 27 38 42 44 49 51 54 ] QOLID is specifically designed for an Indian population and has high internal consistency of 0.894 (identified using Cronbach's alpha) and discriminant validity which makes it popular among Indian researchers. Cronbach's alpha is provided as a measure of the internal consistency and expressed as a number between 0 and 1.…”

In recent years, numerous studies have explored the quality of life (QoL) in those with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this scoping review was to explore the current state of knowledge on QoL and its various associated factors among people with diabetes in India. Three databases were searched (PubMed, Scopus, and Medline) and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. A total of 41 articles were included in the review. The included studies were largely conducted in the Southern states and mainly investigated individuals with type 2 diabetes. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were the instruments used most often. In general, the studies showed that people with diabetes had poorer QoL than those without diabetes, and women with diabetes reported poorer QoL than men, consistent with findings across the world. However, the studies had significant methodological flaws which limit the validity and generalizability of the findings. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct high-quality QoL studies which are representative of all states of India as well as different types of diabetes in India in order to address this gap in the evidence.
