 Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus is one of the main problems worldwide, where risk factors in diabetic patients generate changes in their quality of life, putting their health at risk by altering the physical and emotional capacity of the person who suffers from it. The research objective is to determine the quality of life of diabetics who attend the outpatient clinic of a Hospital in North Lima. In the results, of the 132 participating patients, 18 (13.6%) diabetic patients have a low quality of life, 73 (55.3%) have a medium quality of life, and 41 (31.1%) have a high quality of life. It is concluded that diabetic patients should be guided and educated in relation to their self-care allows for generating changes at the behavioral level, and thus guarantees that they have a full and controlled quality of life.
