- The study aimed to assess the quality of life (QoL) of adults with diabetes mellitus using the ADDQoL questionnaire, including both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.

- The results underscore the significant adverse impact of diabetes on QoL, suggesting that this information can aid health professionals and policymakers in enhancing patient well-being.
