Quality of Life and Treatment Satisfaction in Participants with Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young: A Comparison to Other Major Forms of Diabetes.

Aims: We investigated the quality of life (QoL), treatment satisfaction and perception of genetic results in participants with Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) and compared the results with those of subjects with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 (T2D) diabetes.

Methods: A total of 162 adults with GCK-MODY, 62 with HNF1A-MODY and 29 with HNF4A-MODY answered the questionnaire Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life, the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire and non-validated instrument examining the respondent's perception of the genetic results. Data from GCK-MODY patients were compared with 84 participants with T2D and HNF-MODY subjects were compared with 81 participants having T1D.
