Abstract
One of the most important methods for evaluation of treatment and care of diabetic patients is to assess the quality of life (QOL). Chronic patient like diabetes are face with many disorder in dimensions of QOL. The aim of this study is assess QOL and this dimensions and relational pattern between demographic characteristic.

Data were analyzed with SPSS software. The data were Analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean, SD, variance) and inferential statistics (ANOVA, T.TEST, linear regression). The finding indicated that physical dimension (%49.1) and psychological dimension (%50.3) and social dimension (%9.9) and specific dimoinsion (%17.4) were desirable. The finding showed that independent variables (age, marriage, family income, sex, educational level) were meaningful relationship with QOL.
