Abstract

Diabetes is a chronic disease, and its prevalence is
continuously increasing. By 2040, one adult in 10 (642
million worldwide) will suffer from type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2DM).
In T2DM, especially in patients with long duration of
diabetes, often the change of lifestyle and oral
hypoglycemic agents is not enough; therefore, the
combined treatment with insulin is needed to achieve
glycemic target levels.
Diabetes could cause many consequences that affect
both health and quality of life.
Several factors influence the quality of life of diabetic
individuals: age, chronic complications, socioeconomic
and educational level, psychological factors, knowledge
about the disease, and care received.
This study investigates the influences of the treatment
used - oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin on quality of
life, using the health-related quality of life questionnaire.
