AB  - BACKGROUND: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease which is growing 
      global health problems. However, research on such prediction of health-related 
      quality of life (HRQOL) in Thailand is limited, in particular on the demographic 
      and clinical characteristic in each HRQOL domains. Therefore, the aim of the 
      present study was to determine the demographic and clinical predictors of 
      health-related quality of life among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
      in Northern Thailand. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of people with T2DM at a 
      large teaching hospital in Northern Thailand was conducted. The HRQOL was 
      evaluated using the Thai version of Diabetes-39. Descriptive analysis was used to 
      summarize the demographic and HRQOL scores. Multiple regression analysis was used 
      to determine the predictors of overall HRQOL and the predictors of each D-39 
      dimension. RESULTS: A total of 502 people with T2DM were recruited. Forty-one 
      were identified as having diabetic foot ulcers. The mean score for perception of 
      overall HRQOL was 61.18 (SD 18.74). Scores in the D-39 questionnaire showed a 
      poor HRQOL among people with T2DM. The predictors of demographic and clinical 
      characteristics of people with T2DM were calculated for overall HRQOL and all six 
      domains. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that people with T2DM have a poor 
      HRQOL. The presence of diabetic foot ulcers and smoking status were identified as 
      significant predictors of low HRQOL in the domains relating to diabetes control, 
      social burden and energy and mobility presence of obesity, receiving insulin 
      injection or a combination of insulin and oral medication were predictors of poor 
      HRQOL in the domain of other health problems and diabetes complications. These 
      findings allow for a nursing care plan for diabetes management to achieve optimal 
      glycaemic control and improve their HRQOL.
