“…Approximately 35% of people with diabetes have high/very high stress levels, while depression has been observed in 38% to 56.8% of the diabetic population [ 8 , 9 , 12 ]. In addition, studies to estimate life satisfaction levels, QoL, and psychological wellbeing in people with diabetes have also been conducted across the country [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. A moderate level of satisfaction was reported in 54.4% of the population with diabetes, and 65% were not sure whether they were happy [ 30 ].…”

Rather than the type of treatment, our survey revealed that treatment convenience and flexibility were positively associated with glycemic happiness of persons with diabetes.…”

A multicentric cross-sectional observational survey was conducted to understand the patient, physician, nurse, caregiver, and diabetes counselor/educator-related factors that define the “glycemic happiness” of persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Five sets of questionnaires based on a five-point Likert scale were used. A total of 167 persons with T2DM, 167 caregivers, and 34 each of physicians, nurses, and diabetes counselors/educators participated. For persons with T2DM, an adequate understanding of diabetes (mean score ± standard deviation: 4.2 ± 0.9), happiness and satisfaction with life (4.1 ± 0.8), flexibility (4.2 ± 0.8) and convenience (4.2 ± 0.7) of treatment, and confidence to handle hypo/hyperglycemic episodes (4.0 ± 0.9) were the factors positively associated with glycemic happiness. Caregivers’ factors included information from physicians on patient care (4.5 ± 0.6), constructive conversations with persons with T2DM (4.2 ± 0.8), helping them with regular glucose monitoring (4.2 ± 0.9), and caregivers’ life satisfaction (4.2 ± 0.8). Factors for physicians, nurses, and diabetes counselors/educators were belief in their ability to make a difference in the life of persons with T2DM (4.8 ± 0.4, 4.4 ± 0.5, and 4.5 ± 0.5), satisfaction from being able to help them (4.9 ± 0.3, 4.6 ± 0.5, and 4.6 ± 0.5), and professional satisfaction (4.9 ± 0.4, 4.4 ± 0.6, and 4.7 ± 0.4). Our survey identified the key factors pertaining to different stakeholders in diabetes care, which cumulatively define the glycemic happiness of persons with T2DM.

“…Previous studies have shown that level of life satisfaction is a good predictor of quality of life in individual with diabetes mellitus. [16,17,18], although this was reported to be majorly influenced by community involvement in management of elderly with diabetes mellitus [19] Different researchers have shown that various types of social support are beneficial for health. Good Social support increases quality of life and sense of quality of life in struggling with chronic illness [20].…”
