“…The stress of dealing with diabetes may impact patients’ psychosocial functioning and quality of life, which may also increase the risk for developing anxiety symptoms. [139] Diabetes patients may experience short-term, episodic stress related to self-care activities or more long-term, chronic stress related to living with a chronic illness, which may eventually develop into anxiety symptoms or a chronic anxiety disorder.

Although several evidence-based guidelines for managing diabetes are available, few, if any, focus on the psychosocial aspects of this challenging condition. It is increasingly evident that psychosocial treatment is integral to a holistic approach of managing diabetes; it forms the key to realizing appropriate biomedical outcomes. Dearth of attention is as much due to lack of awareness as due to lack of guidelines. This lacuna results in diversity among the standards of clinical practice, which, in India, is also due to the size and complexity of psychosocial care itself. This article aims to highlight evidence- and experience-based Indian guidelines for the psychosocial management of diabetes. A systemic literature was conducted for peer-reviewed studies and publications covering psychosocial aspects in diabetes. Recommendations are classified into three domains: General, psychological and social, and graded by the weight they should have in clinical practice and by the degree of support from the literature. Ninety-four recommendations of varying strength are made to help professionals identify the psychosocial interventions needed to support patients and their families and explore their role in devising support strategies. They also aid in developing core skills needed for effective diabetes management. These recommendations provide practical guidelines to fulfill unmet needs in diabetes management, and help achieve a qualitative improvement in the way physicians manage patients. The guidelines, while maintaining an India-specific character, have global relevance, which is bound to grow as the diabetes pandemic throws up new challenges.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease of great importance, both for the impact it causes on the health, as the disorders, complications and losses that may originate in quality of life. Objective: Evaluate the impact of type 2 diabetes on quality of life of patients registered in basic health units in Curitiba -PR. Method: Cross-sectional observational study. Sample of 983 patients older than 18 years of both sexes, DM2 patients for over a year, randomly selected and registered in Basic Health Units in Curitiba -PR, between 2010 and 2012. It was used a questionnaire with 14 objective questions about the patient, the disease and the patient's knowledge about it, and another questionnaire, DQOL-Brazil (Diabetes Quality of Life Measures-Brazil), containing 46 questions, divided into four domains (Satisfaction, impact, concern about the disease and vocational / social concern). This research is focused on impact domain, which was divided in physical, emotional and social. Results: The greatest impact on patients' lives was the physical (71,6%), followed by the emotional (77,2%) and the social (81,2%). Patients who use insulin had an average of 71,52%, but those who do not use had an average of 80,06%, a statistically significant difference. Patients with diabetes for over 10 years had an average of 74,59%, while those with less than 10 years had an average of 77,87% with p<0,01.0. Conclusion: DM2 causes a negative impact on quality of life, which is bigger in insulin users and patients with more than 10 years of diagnosis.

“…Fear of hypoglycaemia or low blood sugars which is often associated with unpleasant symptoms such as tremors, profuse sweating, cognitive dysfunction and irritability is another common fear in patients taking insulin. 23 Taken together these lead to suboptimal outcomes, increased medical co-morbidity and diabetes-related mortality. Hence, diabetes self-management is crucial to management of the disease and has been shown to mitigate future complications, reduce risk of comorbidities, and improve the overall health.…”
