Introduction: Type 2 diabetes which currently is one of the most important chronic diseases in the world reduces the quality of life in patients.

Materials and Methods: Our research as a descriptive analytical observational study was performed on 103 type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients in Mahabubnagar (INDIA). Diverse domain scores of patients (HRQOL), well-being index and treatment satisfaction were evaluated by SF-36standard questionnaire, WHO(5) well being index and diabetes treatment satisfaction questionnaire(DTSQ).Gained data was analysed by using SPSS 16.0 software through statistical tests including independent T test, one-way ANOVA and sample T- test.

Results: The type 2 diabetic population has a quality of life score of more than 50 in most of the survey aspects. We found the lowest scores for the aspect of “role physical”(25). Extremely high scores were found for the aspects: “social function”(71.50) and “role emotional”(60.92). Statistically different observations were found between men and women for “social function”(P=0.002). Age had significant reverse relationship with physical functioning, vitality, and mental component score. The WHO well-being score for men (58.23) and women (75.05). 50%of patients scored 33 or higher for diabetes treatment satisfaction questionnaire.

Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with poor self- perceived health- related quality of life (HRQOL).Taken together, the findings of this population studies indicate that people using either pharmacological therapy or lifestyle modification to treat diabetes rated their physical health as poor.
