The equating between various unconditional variables with that of scores of QoL in miscellaneous domains was evaluated, Age of the patients influenced QoL score in miscellaneous domains like RLPH (p profit-0.038), PE (p value-0.0183), and SB (p worth-0.0002), Gender influenced Q0L score in domains like RLPH (p worth-0.0008), PE (p value-0.0106), TS (p advantage-0.0005) and Educational Qualification influenced QOL score in RLPH (p profit-0.0008),GH (p value-<0.0001), TS (p worth-<0.0001), E/MH (p value-<0.0001).The findings decided that overall QoL was noticeably reduced in diabetic patients, specifically women and the elderly, displaying that diabetes management is not restricted to treatment but again needs attention to patient QoL.
