“…3 It accounts for reduced quality of life and imposes a significant economic burden that affects both individuals and society. 4,5 Several established tests are commonly used for screening, detection, and assessment of DPN and to monitor its progression. Most of these tests examine neuronal function; however, direct observation of nerve structure also is possible.…”

“…Type of diabetes and its duration are not always associated with QoL. Complications of diabetes affect patient's QoL [6][7][8]. In this study, using the social, psychological, and family subscales, the QoL of patients treated at the outpatient clinic was statistically significantly reduced, although patients treated at the clinic were younger and had a shorter duration of diabetes.…”

Quality-of-life measurement is used to assess the overall condition of the patient, giving more insight into complex medical problems in terms of physical, mental, and social health. It enables planning and organizing care and provides a holistic approach to the healing process. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and diabetic outpatient clinic patients and to identify factors affecting quality of life of patients in the studied groups. The study included 226 patients with T2D, 100 diabetic outpatient clinic patients and 126 hospitalized patients. Quality of life was measured using the Quality of Life Index. We observed that the QoL of hospitalized patients is connected with education [p=0.01 (β=1.0; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.32-1.74), R 2 =0.12 (95 % CI 0.10-0.34)]. However, the QoL of patients under the care of the diabetic outpatient clinic is affected by age [p=0.02 (β= 0.07; 95 % CI 0.01-0.13)], diabetic retinopathy [p=0.00 (β=−1.8; 95 % CI −2.87 to −0.72)], ischemic heart disease [p=0.04 (β=−1.6; 95 % CI −3.16 to −0.11)], and education [p=0.00 (β=1.6; 95 % CI 1.11-2.12), R 2 =0.40 (95 % CI 0.37-0.63)]. Differences in QoL between the two groups relate to the sociological, psychological, and family life aspects. Education level greatly determines QoL of patients with T2D treated at hospital and outpatient clinic.

“…Por otro lado, un estudio concluye que el nivel de hemoglobina glicosilada media fue significativamente más bajo, después de la intervención mediante el adiestramiento en conductas de autocuidado. Esta diferencia en el control de la glucemia se mantuvo a los 24 meses 25 . Trabajando con pacientes de alto riesgo de complicaciones diabéticas, el autocuidado es fundamental para reducir las tasas de úlcera y amputación.…”
