A cross-sectional study on the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes attending a General Hospital in Lagos State

this study suggests that compliance with therapy guidelines was associated with the greatest odds of having good QoL. With our finding that higher levels of education were significantly associated with good QoL, it is recommended that health literacy become part of the management of patients with diabetes to enhance their QoL. There is a need to specifically target and improve the QoL of underweight patients with diabetes, as they are at a higher risk of having poor QoL, when compared with their overweight and obese counterparts that receive more attention.
