Health‐related quality of life in youth with type 1 diabetes: Associations with multiple comorbidities and mental health conditions

Abstract

Health-related quality of life seems to be preserved in youth with type 1 diabetes unless confronted by multiple comorbidities as reported by youth and their parents. Our findings highlight the importance of tracking the presence of multiple comorbid conditions, possibly by reviewing problem and medication lists in the medical record, as well as screening for and addressing mental health conditions in routine diabetes care.
