South Asians with T2D seem to experience a relatively high burden of DD, and the emotional burden is the most common form of DD in this area. Larger studies utilizing unique tools and involving a broader participant base from the region would provide better epidemiological data for effectively planning high-quality diabetes care in South Asian countries.
