AB  - AIMS: This study compared health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in adults with 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who reported their perception of weight change 
      vs. actual weight change. METHODS: Respondents to the US Study to Help Improve 
      Early evaluation and management of risk factors Leading to Diabetes (SHIELD) 2008 
      survey were asked if they had lost, maintained or gained weight compared with 1 
      year earlier (perception). Respondents also provided their actual weight and 
      completed the SHIELD WQ-9 questionnaire to report how weight change affected 9 
      aspects of daily life. Perceived weight loss or gain was compared with measured 
      weight change reported (2007 weight - 2008 weight) in those with T2DM. RESULTS: 
      In respondents reporting weight loss (n = 762), 75.4% lost weight and 15.9% 
      gained weight. For respondents reporting weight gain (n = 392), 70.2% gained 
      weight and 19.6% lost weight. HRQOL did not differ between those who reported 
      weight loss and actually lost weight vs. those who reported weight loss and 
      actually gained weight (p > 0.05), except for self-esteem (p = 0.004). HRQOL was 
      similar for those who reported weight gain and actually gained weight vs. those 
      who reported weight gain, but actually lost weight (p > 0.20). Respondents who 
      had perceived weight loss had significantly better HRQOL than those who perceived 
      that they had gained weight. CONCLUSIONS: Perception of weight loss/gain may be 
      as powerful as actual weight loss/gain in impacting HRQOL among adults with T2DM. 
      Interventions that help individuals lose weight or perceive weight loss in 
      addition to lowering glucose will assist in improving HRQOL.
