Two researchers conducted independent searches on five different electronic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, SciELO, LiLACS and Web of Science. Studies were selected that covered cross-cultural adaptation methodology and validation in Brazil with type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients of any age. After reading the full-text articles, data related to psychometric characteristics were extracted from each study selected. Reliability was assessed with Cronbach's α (Cα). The initial searches identified 2,211 studies. After exclusions, 26 were included, covering a total of 31 questionnaires. Questionnaires were grouped into 11 domains based on their main focus of interest: adherence (n = 8), quality of life (n = 7), diabetes knowledge (n = 3), hypoglycemia (n = 3), self-efficacy (n = 3), satisfaction with pharmaceutical services (n = 1), emotional stress (n = 2), hope (n = 1), attitude towards diabetes (n = 1), perception of disease severity (n=1), and risk of developing diabetes (n = 1). This study identified and reviewed all of the diabetes-specific questionnaires that have been validated for Brazilian Portuguese, which should facilitate selection of the most appropriate instrument for each domain of interest in future research and clinical settings.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes and the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness. It has a serious impact on the mental and physical health of patients.
Aim: To evaluate the anxiety and depression status of patients with DR, we examined their influencing factors.

Objective: Hypoglycemia represents a serious acute complication in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). In order to more effectively identify and discriminate the occurrence of hypoglycemic events in patients with T1DM, this study aims to evaluate the impact of two distinct glucose monitoring systems-Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)-on the management of blood glucose levels and the emotional responses associated with hypoglycemic episodes in individuals with T1DM.
Method: In this study, a total of 113 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus were enrolled and allocated to two groups for the implementation of Glucose Monitoring Systems (GMS).

Background: Self-management is impacted by knowledge, self-efficacy, psychological health (general mental health and diabetes-related distress) and physical health (KSPP), and variations in KSPP contribute to heterogeneity in diabetes self-management education (DSME) program outcomes. This study aimed to identify unique KSPP profiles, and their associations with self-management behaviors.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 518 participants with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: The Generic Version of China Health Related Outcomes Measures (CHROME-G) was a new preference-based health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument designed specifically for the Chinese population. This study aimed to validate and compare measurement properties of CHROME-G with EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L), Short Form-6 Dimensions version 2 (SF-6Dv2), and Diabetes-Specific Quality of Life (DSQL) scales among the elderly Chinese population with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A representative sample population was recruited across the country.

Disordered eating behaviors (DEB) are common among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Glycemic variability, potentially harmful in T1D, may reveal distinct characteristics between those with higher versus lower variability, particularly concerning DEB. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of DEB and associated risk factors among adolescents and young adults with T1D and to investigate unique factors associated with DEB across different levels of glycemic variability.
