Abstract


Background: Diabetes Mellitus exerts a great negative impact on quality of life mainly due to the impairment, limitations in almost all domains of daily lives and due to long term treatment and complication. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the quality of life among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using the Qolid (Quality of life instrument for Indian Diabetes Patients) at KGM hospital, Coimbatore. A convenient sample of 30 patients participated. Subjects were asked to rate their level of satisfaction and the level of limitation of 34 aspects of life. Result: Out of 30 T2DM patients, majority was elderly males (70%), married (97%), unemployed (37%), and urban (57%), 80% of the samples had the onset of diabetes mellitus at the age of 18 to 34 years with 50% of the samples being on OHA and insulin treatment. Statistically significant (P<0.05) association was found with age, income, onset of diabetes and duration of diabetes. The domains like symptom botherless (1.89±0.78) and treatment satisfaction (1.99±0.87) were predominantly affected. Diabetes mellitus has good impact on financial worries (2.55±0.95). Diet satisfaction (2.30±0.79) and general health (2.24±0.79) were rated as the most satisfied items in the subscales. Conclusion: The subjects were satisfied with most areas of their lives. The reported quality of life was found to be satisfactory.
