Abstract
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that the quality of life (QOL) of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is poor and must be improved. However, the living situation and QOL of adults living with T1D in Japan have not been fully clarified. This study will examine their lifestyle, QOL, and clinical situation, as well as the relationships between them.
Methods: This is a prospective, 5-year follow-up observational study. Between December 2019 and September 2021, we enrolled adults in Japan who were living with T1D and receiving insulin therapy, and are acquiring longitudinal clinical data and the responses to seven questionnaires regarding lifestyle and QOL. The primary study outcomes are (1) the relationship between Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scores and various factors including demographic data, clinical characteristics, medical history, lifestyle habits, treatment history, biochemical data, and the scores of questionnaires; and (2) the relationship between Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II scores and various factors aforementioned. The secondary outcomes are the relationships between various factors aforementioned and each of the following: (1) blood glucose control, (2) blood lipid control, (3) dietary patterns, (4) fear of hypoglycemia, (5) sleep patterns, and (6) physical activity.
Planned outcome: We registered 352 participants. The median age was 49 (41-63) years, and the median duration of T1D was 13 (8-20) years. All the results will be available in 2026. We expect to clarify the factors associated with decreased QOL, and that this knowledge will contribute to improving QOL in adults in Japan who are living with T1D and receiving insulin therapy.
期刊介绍：
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
