Prevalence of Diabetes-related Distress Among Patients Living With Type 2 Diabetes in a University Hospital Center and Identification of Its Associated Factors.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Diabetes-related distress is a psychological construct associated with poorer glycaemic control in people living with diabetes. In France, few data are available on this topic and none focus specifically on adults with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes-related distress is not mentioned in the current French national guidelines on the management of type 2 diabetes, whereas international societies such as the ADA and, more recently, the EASD now recommend its regular assessment. This single-centre observational study conducted in the endocrinology department of Nice University Hospital aims to estimate the prevalence of severe diabetes-related distress in adults with type 2 diabetes receiving usual care, and to identify associated clinical, psychosocial and lifestyle factors. Participants complete validated self-report questionnaires (PAID-20 for diabetes distress, WHOQOL-BREF for quality of life, and a modified Starting The Conversation dietary questionnaire), and clinical data are extracted from electronic medical records. The study does not modify usual medical management and participation consists only in completing the questionnaires and receiving feedback on the results.
