dc.description.abstractBackground: Because old adults with type 2 diabetes are associated with an increase in mortality and complications when compared to young diabetics and non-diabetic people of the same age group, the elderly are at a high risk for this condition. Diabetes affected nearly 19 million people in 2010, accounting for 26.9% of all those in this age range. The most important factor in determining a person’s level of health is their quality of life (QOL). Aim and objectives: The aims of this study are to determine the QOL in controlled and uncontrolled geriatric type 2 diabetes mellitus patients receiving antidiabetic drug therapy using the World Health Organization Quality of Life— BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) and Appraisal of Diabetes Scale (ADS) questionnaire. Materials and methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study began following ethical approval. The study covered 182 patients. Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test, whilst normally distributed con- tinuous data were examined using the unpaired t-test. The odd ratios for quality-of-life impairment were determined using univariate binary logistic regression analysis (QOL). Results: Across the groups of people with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes, there were significant differences in family structure and marital status (p<0.05). When compared to the group with controlled diabetes (133.55 ± 49.01 and 6.16 ± 0.33) the FPG and HbA1c were considerably higher in the uncontrolled diabetes group (154.73 ± 55.18 and 7.81 ± 1.11). In the two groups, there was a substantially different duration of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.004). Conclusions: There were significant variations in the mean age, HbA1c (%), FPG, and duration of diabetes mellitus and widowed patients between the uncontrolled and controlled diabetes groups, resulting in a reduced quality of life in uncontrolled diabetes patients.en_US
