Health-related quality of life in insulin-treated diabetic patients in the Sudan.
Diabetes Res Clin Pract
October 1999
Article Synopsis
- A study of 89 Sudanese insulin-treated diabetes mellitus patients aged 25-55 revealed that only 13.5% had good metabolic control, indicating a correlation between poor control (high HbA1c) and health-related quality of life (HRQL).
- Patients with late diabetic complications, which affected nearly half, reported significantly lower HRQL than those without complications.
- The findings emphasize the importance of diabetes education and better metabolic control from early on to improve HRQL and prevent complications.
Pattern of long-term complications in Sudanese insulin-treated diabetic patients.
Diabetes Res Clin Pract

- The overall prevalence of complications was 67%, with older age, longer disease duration, and higher cholesterol linked to increased risk.
- Only 12.5% of patients had adequate glycaemic control, indicating a need for greater attention from both patients and healthcare providers to reduce complications.
