      Mellitus: An Observational Survey.

AB  - A multicentric cross-sectional observational survey was conducted to understand 
      the patient, physician, nurse, caregiver, and diabetes counselor/educator-related 
      factors that define the "glycemic happiness" of persons with type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM). Five sets of questionnaires based on a five-point Likert scale 
      were used. A total of 167 persons with T2DM, 167 caregivers, and 34 each of 
      physicians, nurses, and diabetes counselors/educators participated. For persons 
      with T2DM, an adequate understanding of diabetes (mean score +/- standard 
      deviation: 4.2 +/- 0.9), happiness and satisfaction with life (4.1 +/- 0.8), 
      flexibility (4.2 +/- 0.8) and convenience (4.2 +/- 0.7) of treatment, and confidence 
      to handle hypo/hyperglycemic episodes (4.0 +/- 0.9) were the factors positively 
      associated with glycemic happiness. Caregivers' factors included information from 
      physicians on patient care (4.5 +/- 0.6), constructive conversations with persons 
      with T2DM (4.2 +/- 0.8), helping them with regular glucose monitoring (4.2 +/- 0.9), 
      and caregivers' life satisfaction (4.2 +/- 0.8). Factors for physicians, nurses, 
      and diabetes counselors/educators were belief in their ability to make a 
      difference in the life of persons with T2DM (4.8 +/- 0.4, 4.4 +/- 0.5, and 4.5 +/- 
      0.5), satisfaction from being able to help them (4.9 +/- 0.3, 4.6 +/- 0.5, and 4.6 +/- 
      0.5), and professional satisfaction (4.9 +/- 0.4, 4.4 +/- 0.6, and 4.7 +/- 0.4). Our 
      survey identified the key factors pertaining to different stakeholders in 
      diabetes care, which cumulatively define the glycemic happiness of persons with 
      T2DM.
