Abstract Background and aims Painful polyneuropathy (PPN) is a disabling complication of diabetes. This study aims to determine its prevalence and relationship with Quality of Life (QoL) in a nationwide prospective cohort of incident recently diagnosed Danish type 2 diabetic patients. Methods We sent a detailed questionnaire on neuropathy, pain and QoL to 6726 patients prospectively enrolled from general practitioners and hospital specialist outpatient clinics into the Danish Centre for Strategic Research in Type 2 Diabetes (DD2) cohort. Patients who reported pain in both feet and a score ≥3 on the Douleur Neuropathique (DN4) questionnaire were considered to have possible PPN. QoL and pain intensity were measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS, 0–10). The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) was used to assess neuropathy. Results A total of 5371 (79.8%) returned a complete questionnaire. 848 (15.8%) recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients reported pain in both feet. Of the 619 patients with pain who completed the DN4 questionnaire, 404 (65.2%) had a DN4 score ≥ 3, corresponding to a prevalence in the total population of possible PPN of 10.3%. Mean pain intensity was 5.2 (SD 2.2) and 89% had a MNSI score ≥ 3. Patients with possible PPN had a substantially lower QoL score than those without PPN (median QoL score 6 versus 8 (p < 0.001)), also when correcting for MNSI score. Conclusions Ten percent of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in Denmark had possible PPN. Patients with PPN had lower QoL than patients without PPN.

Summary The presence of diabetes mellitus leads to a decrease in life quality in all domains. The aim of our study was to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) in diabetic patients and the factors affecting it in type 2 diabetic mellitus patients. We conducted a cross-sectional study that included 86 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, in the territory of the City of Niš. Health-related QOL of patients was measured using the short form survey (SF-36) that produces an 8-scale health profile. The average duration of diabetes was 12.76±8.08 years. The best QOL in all areas was observed in patients diagnosed with diabetes less than 10 years ago p<0.05) and younger than 65 years. Male respondents perceived a better QOL compared to women, especially in the vitality and pain domains. The patients with comorbidity (93.64%) had lower QOL score in all domains. There was no significant difference in the QOL of patients with diabetes compared to the level of education. High QOL represents an ultimate goal and an important outcome of all medical interventions in diabetic patients. Factors related to lower QOL included: older age, female gender, and existence of comorbidities. Uncontrolled diabetic patients had a lower QOL than controlled diabetics.
