TLDR
Diabetes affects the HRQoL through macrovascular complications and associated non-vascular comorbidity, and also by adding to the total burden of disease.Abstract:
Objective A review of articles on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among diabetes patients in primary health care in the Nordic countries Design Search in PubMed and related sources Used MeSH terms were: “Diabetes Mellitus”, “Quality of Life”, “Primary Health Care”, and “Scandinavia” or “Denmark”, “Finland”, “Iceland”, “Norway”, or “Sweden” Results In total, 19 relevant articles were found, 9 from Finland and 10 from Sweden HRQoL questionnaires used were from the Medical Outcomes Study, ie the SWED-QUAL in seven, SF-20 in four and SF-36 in one, NHP in two, GQL in two, GHQ in one, and own questionnaires in two HRQoL was moderately affected in diabetic patients, with macrovascular diseases, especially coronary heart disease, and non-vascular diseases as the most consistently found and strongest predictors Weaker predictors were microvascular complications, age, sex, metabolic level, and education Other groups at higher risk of worse HRQoL were diabetes patients with psychiatric disorders, espread more

TL;DR: The most important predictors of impaired HRQOL were female gender, diabetic complications, non-diabetic comorbidity and years with diabetes, which could have implications for health promotion in rural medical practice in Greece.

TL;DR: Significant number of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients had low level of knowledge, poor self-care behaviours and lowlevel of adherence to medications, which call for the need of integrated interventional management on diabetic knowledge, self- care behaviours and adherence to medication.
