“…Daily insulin injections can induce physical discomfort, heighten anxiety about insulin dependency, impede social interactions, and negatively affect mental health. [30][31][32][33][34] Notably, our findings align with similar validation studies of DQOL-BCI in other cultural contexts, such as the Turkish and Iranian versions, where characteristics like a short duration of 1 -5 years, high income, and non-insulin use correlated positively with high QoL scores. 14,18 These consistencies support the cross-cultural applicability of MVDQOL-BCI.…”

“…A literatura mostra que é necessário seguir as recomendações dietéticas e exercícios físicos regulares para o controle do DM; entretanto, quando tais cuidados se tornam insuficientes para manter o controle glicêmico, inicia-se a terapia antidiabética oral, associada ou não a outros medicamentos orais, ou mesmo à insulinoterapia. No entanto, são necessárias mudanças comportamentais e desenvolvimento de habilidades nos cuidados para o sucesso do tratamento, como monitorar a glicemia, preparar e administrar insulina, examinar os pés, entre outras ações (Jorgetto & Franco., 2018;Zurita-Cruz et al, 2018).…”
