Abstract

India is the second-largest country in the world with an estimated 77 million people living with diabetes. Persons with diabetes reported lower quality of life when compared to non-diabetes persons. There are significant associations between poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and adverse health outcomes among diabetes people. However, evidence documenting the same in India is scarce.
