UNLABELLED: Quality of life (QoL) characteristics are important in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM 1 and 2). AIM: Evaluate QoL and DM-associated factors among diabetic patients. METHODS: Patients attending a University Hospital were interviewed about their sociodemographic, clinical and QoL characteristics, with QoL measured via the EQ-5D. Descriptive analysis, correlation, linear regression, univariate and multivariate analysis were performed. RESULTS: 346 patients took part, comprising 67% women, 59% with DM2, and 32% DM1. DM 1 patients had a mean QoL score of 0.7369, with retinopathy, depression, dyslipidemia and a serious hypoglycemic crisis significantly reducing QoL. Patients with DM type 2 had a mean QoL score of 0.6582, with hypertension, neuropathy, depression, cancer and dyslipidemia significantly reducing QoL. Reduced QoL also correlated with a lack of physical exercise. Males with both DM1 and 2 had a better QoL than females. CONCLUSION: Need for better disease monitoring and control combined with effective activities to improve self-care, reduce complications and improve patients' QoL.
