Diabetes Self-Management: A Key for Better Health-related Quality of Life in Patients with Diabetes

Conclusions: Kuwaiti patients with diabetes showed a modest level of HRQOL. Patients’ DSM, gender, and diabetes complications were significant independent correlates to HRQOL. Appraisal of patients with diabetes’ HRQOL as an essential component of diabet es management in clinical settings is suggested. Further studies to examine the impact of good diabetes self-management on HRQOL improvement are needed.
