Association between variation in hemoglobin A1c levels and diabetes therapy-related quality of life in patients with diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

We aimed to investigate the association between glycemic variability and quality of life (QOL) in patients with diabetes, which has not been studied previously.

Materials and methods

Patients who were undergoing treatment at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Hospital and Kameoka City Hospital participated in the KAMOGAWA-DM study, and completed the diabetes therapy-related (DTR)-QOL questionnaire from January 2016 to July 2020 were included in this study. We used linear regression analyses to compare the association between DTR-QOL scores and glycemic variability.

Results

We included a total of 635 patients in this analysis. The hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels of these patients were measured at least four times during the 9-month period, bef
