Prevalence of diabetes distress among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in India: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The pooled prevalence of 33% indicates that DD is highly prevalent and suggests that a significant proportion of individuals with T2DM in India experience diabetes-related psychological distress yet remains an under-recognized issue in the context of diabetes care. Our study findings is consistent with previous studies conducted in similar settings and reinforces the consistent presence of DD as a critical aspect of T2DM management in India (Gahlan et al, 2018 ; Gupta et al, 2022 ; Natesan et al, 2016 ; Panda et al, 2022 ; Patra et al, 2021 ; Roy et al, 2018 ; Sumana et al, 2021 ).…”

“…36 records were excluded because of the reasons such as the study is not measuring DD, not done on T2DM, data not clear. After full-text screening 13 articles were identified for data extraction, from which only 10 articles’ data was obtained (Gahlan et al, 2018 ; Gupta et al, 2022 ; Natesan et al, 2016 ; Panda et al, 2022 ; Patra et al, 2021 ; Ratnesh et al, 2020 ; Roy et al, 2018 ; Sasi et al, 2013 ; Sumana et al, 2021 ; Vidya et al, 2021 ). 3 articles were excluded from data analysis as they reported DD and other kinds of depression together.…”
