A similar result was obtained in the PANORAMA study&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> in which it was apparent that the factors that negatively affect HRQL &#40;in addition to the previous hypoglycemic episodes&#41; are poor metabolic control and more complex treatments&#44; factors that in turn create greater worry of presenting hypoglycemia&#46; Although our study observed no significant differences in the general items of the ADDQoL between the 2 groups&#44; this could be explained by the fact that these items can be expected to reflect a similar behavior to that of a generic HRQL questionnaire&#44; that is&#44; one that is less sensitive than a more specific one&#46; It should be taken into account that the measure that evaluates the mean impact of DM2 on the patients&#8217; HRQL is the mean scores assigned to the 19 specific domains of the ADDQoL questionnaire and not the general items&#46; Other authors who have assessed the HRQL of patients with DM2 with other questionnaires have encountered a deterioration in all areas&#44; especially in &#8220;anxiety&#47;depression&#8221;&#44; &#8220;daily activities&#8221;&#44;

this could be explained by the presence of socio-cultural differences between the populations&#46;</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another relevant aspect of this study is that the doctors&#8217; results show that these professionals do not usually employ questionnaires to measure their patients&#8217; HRQL&#46; They know the risk of hypoglycemia associated with certain treatments&#44; and its onset makes them change the prescribed regimen&#44; but they only occasionally explore the worry that these episodes create&#46; We believe that these results are transcendent&#44; considering that hypoglycemic episodes and the worry they cause can lead to the patient developing self-regulation attitudes toward medication and low adherence to it to avoid this treatment complication&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a></p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A significant limitation of this study is the lack of data on the type of drug treatment and the HbA1c levels of the population&#46; This type of information would probably have allowed us to define all the factors that could influence the perception of HRQL&#46; The study&#39;s cross-sectional design limits the possibility of establishing changes over time in the relationship between the perception of HRQL and the worry about hypoglycemia&#44; as well as the factors that explain them&#46; These current limitations should serve to direct the design and objectives of future studies&#46;</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; DM2 negatively influences patients&#8217; HRQL&#44; especially when they have hypoglycemia&#46; The presence of hypoglycemic episodes creates increased fear about these episodes and worsens the perception of HRQL&#46; Incorporating the examination of these aspects by medical professionals in standard clinical practice could promote a therapeutic approach directed toward the patients&#8217; needs&#44; contributing to a better perception of HRQL&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0075" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0135">Funding</span><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study funded by <span class="elsevierStyleGrantSponsor" id="gs1">Novartis Pharmaceuticals S&#46;A&#46;</span>&#44;

Abstract
Objectives

Hypoglycemia can negatively impact many aspects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. The aim was to determine the impact of hypoglycemia and the fear for hypoglycemic episodes on HRQoL in T2DM patients in Spain, as well as healthcare professionals’ attitudes and knowledge of these issues.

Patients and methods

An observational, cross-sectional study, with consecutive recruitment of T2DM patients in 661 healthcare centers, between September 2010 and May 2011. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were recorded. HRQoL (ADDQoL questionnaire) and fear for hypoglycemia (HFS-II) were evaluated. Two groups were compared: with and without reported hypoglycemia in the previous 6 months. Physicians responded 4 questions (visual analog scales).

Results

4.054 patients participated, of which 3812 were selected [mean age (SD)=64 (11) years; male=54%; 10 (7) years for diagnostic of T2DM]. Patients with hypoglycemia (45%) expressed higher fear for hypoglycemia [31.32 (15.71) vs. 18.85 (16.03); p<.0001] and the overall impact of T2DM on their HRQoL was more negative [−2.48 (1.61) vs. −1.64 (1.36); p<.001]. Respondent physicians occasionally used HRQoL questionnaires, knew about hypoglycemia risk, explored fear for hypoglycemia and modified treatments accordingly.

Conclusions

T2DM patients with hypoglycemia show an increase of fear for them, negatively affecting T2DM patients HRQoL. However physicians know the risk of hypoglycemia, they explore the fear for hypoglycemic episodes occasionally.

Resumen
Objetivos

Las hipoglucemias pueden tener un impacto negativo en diferentes aspectos del manejo de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). El objetivo fue determinar el impacto que las hipoglucemias y la preocupación que generan tienen en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) de los pacientes con DM2 en España, así como explorar las actitudes y conocimientos de los médicos respecto a estos aspectos.

Pacientes y métodos

Estudio observacional, transversal, con reclutamiento consecutivo de pacientes con DM2 en 661 centros sanitarios, entre septiembre/2010 y mayo/2011. Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas y clínicas de los pacientes, evaluando su CVRS (cuestionario ADDQoL) y preocupación por las hipoglucemias (subescala HFS-II). Se compararon 2 grupos: con y sin hipoglucemias reportadas en los últimos 6 meses. Los médicos respondieron 4 cuestiones (escalas visuales analógicas).

Resultados

Participaron 4.054 pacientes, de los cuales se seleccionaron 3.812 [edad media (DE)=64 (11) años; hombres=54%; 10 (7) años de diagnóstico de DM2]. Los pacientes que reportaron hipoglucemias (45%) presentaron mayor preocupación [31,32 (15,71) frente a 18,85 (16,03); p<0,0001] y el impacto global de la DM2 sobre su CVRS fue más negativo [−2,48 (1,61) frente a −1,64 (1,36); p<0,001]. Los médicos encuestados empleaban ocasionalmente cuestionarios de CVRS, conocían el riesgo de hipoglucemias, exploraban con relativa frecuencia la preocupación que generan y modificaban esporádicamente el tratamiento debido a las mismas.

Conclusiones

Los pacientes con DM2 e hipoglucemias muestran mayor preocupación por las mismas, afectando negativamente su CVRS. Aunque los médicos conocen el riesgo de hipoglucemias, no suelen explorar la preocupación que generan.
