What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Health Related Quality of Life as Measured by the Short Form 36 Version 2 Questionnaire

    The Short Form (36) Health Survey is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 is a measure of health status. Mearurement at the beginning and after 12 months, Scales from 0 to 100, higher values represent a better outcome; Data are mean scores (SD); differences between groups after 12 month were compared by using Mann-Whitney-U-tests.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. HbA1c

    HbA1c was taken at the beginning of the study and after 12 months.
