Assessment of quality of life in type II diabetic patients using the modified diabetes quality of life (MDQoL)-17 questionnaire

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar level and is caused by an increase in glucose levels due to a progressive decrease in insulin secretion caused by insulin resistance. The ability of diabetic patients to do appropriate and succesful self-care habits is closely related to morbidity and mortality and significantly affect productivity and quality of life. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determie the correlation between family support and self care agency with quality of life of diabetes mellitus patient type II.Method: This study uses analitycal methods, namely research that explores how and why health phenomena occur with a cross-sectional approach.Result: The results of the Spearman-Rho test that the P-value in te sig (2-tailed) column 0.123 is more than the level of significance α 0,05 ( 0,000 < 0,05 ) so it can be concluded that H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected.Conclusion: There is no relationship between self care agency and the quality of life of people with type II diabetes mellitus in prolanic patients

This study measures the distress and Quality of Life (QoL) among people with type II diabetics in relation to physical exercise. The study was conducted using diabetic participants chosen from various hospitals, aerobic centres, playgrounds and gyms in the city of Hyderabad in India. The participants were divided into two groups – group 1 comprising people who did not adopt physical activity as part of their diabetes management strategy and group 2 comprising people who engaged in physical activity. A quasi-experimental study was performed on both groups employing purposive and snowball sampling methods. Pearson r showed that distress is negatively correlated with QoL among type II diabetics in both groups. Independent t-test indicated that participants in group 2 showed better QoL and lower levels of distress compared to their counterparts in group 1.

Objective: To compare the safety and quality of life of insulin and insulin analogues in Type II Diabetic patients.Methods: 100 patients who are diagnosed with type – II diabetes milletus are taken.In these 50 patients are of insulin analogues and 50 patients are of conventional insulin The safety was based on number of hypoglycemic events.Data was collected by using the EQ-5D questionnaire and EQ Visual Analogue scale (EQ-VAS) to assess the quality of life from the patient.Result:The percentage of the patients who had hypoglycemic events in conventional insulin group is 54% (n=27) and insulin analogues group is 20% (n=10). Mean score points of QOL obtained by conventional insulin patients is 75.9 and by insulin analogues patients is 93.75Conclusion: Insulin analogues group has low risk of hypoglycaemia when compared with the conventional insulin.The patient group who are in No problem category are found to have better QOL. The safety and QOL statistical differences constitute less likely among insulin and insulin analogues. The use of insulin analogues will continue to advance our efforts at improving diabetes care and treated related adverse outcomes can be reduced.
