Abstract
People with diabetes often feel challenged by their disease and its day-to-day management demands.

Results of research on the association between treatment regimen and quality of life in people with diabetes are mixed, with some indication that increasing treatment intensity in patients with Type 2 diabetes from diet and exercise alone, to oral medications, to insulin, is associated with worsening quality of life. The main objective of this study was to assess the role of different parameters such as gender, rout of administration, frequency of medication and treatment regimen in the quality of life of the diabetic patients. The study was performed over 102 diabetic patients diagnosed with in patient wards of B.R.Ambedkar Medical Hospital of Bangalore, India. The study was conducted for a period of 4 months.
