“…Female T2DM individuals are one of the groups whose quality of life is negatively affected [10,13,20]. In our study; among the T2DM women, only the scores in worries about social and vocational issues were found to be higher than T2DM men and the study of Bıyık and Akı [21] done to examine DM individuals' quality of life reported results similar to our study.…”

“…HbA1c is one of the important clinical parameters for assessing glycemic control [28]. There are studies that proved that elevated HbA1c values (> %7) lead to low quality of life [20,27,28] and those that suggested no correlation between the quality of life and HbA1c [19]. In our study, high HbA1c was found to be correlated with low quality of life.…”

Eating disorders, which are one of the most important causes of poor glycemic control, increase weight gain among diabetic people, complicate weight loss, and reduce the quality of life by aggravating diabetic complications. The current study was undertaken to explore the effect of eating attitudes of individuals with Type 2 diabetes upon the quality of life. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was done with 127 Type 2 diabetic individuals between November 2019 and March 2020. The data were gathered using the Patient Information Form, Eating Attitudes Test, and The Diabetes Quality-of-Life Measure. The average age of the participants was 58.77±8.78 years, 62.2% of them were female and 42.7% of them showed a cutoff point of ≥30 for eating attitudes. There was a negatively significant correlation between the Type 2 diabetic individuals' total score of eating attitudes test and the sub-dimensions of satisfaction with treatment, the impact of treatment, worries about future effects of diabetes and total diabetes quality of life scores (r=-.493, p=0.000; r=-.226, p=0.011; r=-.193, p=0.030; r=-.390, p=0.000) but a positively significant and moderate correlation between the subdimension of worries about social and vocational issues and total score of eating attitudes test (r=0.304; p=0.001). It was determined that individuals with Type 2 diabetes with impaired eating behaviors had a low quality of life. It is recommended that with the first diagnosis, individuals' eating behaviors should closely be monitored and they should be informed of the importance of eating and nutrition in diabetes.

“…Males were higher than females in this study. This may be due to the higher population of male patients in the hospital in comparison with females, which was contradictory to a study by Mohammadi et al [17]. Knowledge on diabetes can help patients to improve their health by taking self-care.…”

Background. Diabetes and its complications are becoming a major threat to public health. Quality of life among diabetes patients is not optimum. Objective. To know the usefulness of the mobile health application for improvement of QoL and diabetes selfmanagement activities of the type 2 diabetes patients. Methods. The present study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital for 2 years from October 2016 to October 2018. In this study, 66 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, educated, techno-friendly smart phone users, aged between 18-60 years, were included. They were allocated to intervention and control group by block randomization method. Intervention group was allotted to use the android application and control group was allotted to use the website. The data were imported and analyzed by SPSS v 20. Results. Overall quality of life and general health was 70.26 ± 16.51; for physical health it was 59.52 ± 7.15, for psychological it was 63.38 ± 9.2, for social relations it was 74.87 ± 13.98 and for environment it was 71.87 ± 8.38. The score of overall quality of life was increased in both control and intervention group during follow-ups. It was found that there was significant improvement in glucose management, dietary control, physical activity, health care use and sum score. Wilk's lambda was significant for HbA1c both in control and intervention group. Conclusions. Mobile-based applications with focusing on diabetes self-management education may support to reduce the complications of diabetes and improve the QoL of diabetes patients. (Clin Diabetol 2021; 10

“…Despite the benefits of adequate diabetes knowledge, it is worrisome that international knowledge and awareness of diabetes stays low [15]. In SA, diabetes knowledge among T2DM patients in most affected areas is reportedly inadequate [16]. It is essential for healthcare providers to assess knowledge of patients and family members so as to design appropriate diabetes intervention and educate properly.…”

Most of diabetes care of outpatients takes place at their families. Family members who may have inadequate or lack diabetes knowledge are expected to offer home care, predisposing patients to poor outcomes and associated health problems. To review and discuss literature related to family-centered diabetes care. Comprehensive Literature Review was used to collect data by reviewing literature related to family centered diabetes care. Literature review involved evaluating discoveries of other researchers. The results of literature review showed that family-centered care is essential for better diabetes outcomes and preventing new cases. So far, family-centered care was successful in children’s diabetes care and may be beneficial for older outpatients. Family-centered diabetes care improves knowledge of both patients and families, minimize prevalence and improve diabetes outcomes of outpatients.
