Patient Assessment of Family Function, Glycemic Control and Quality-of-Life in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Incipient Complications.

ConclusionOur study suggests that in patients with type 2 diabetes, family function does not predict the level of glycemic control. However, we found an association between a healthy family function, low burden of diabetes, and strong mental health, issues being important for the patient's quality-of-life, compliance with lifestyle factors and diabetes self-management.
