Diabetes distress in Indonesian patients with type 2 diabetes: a comparison between primary and tertiary care

The number of people living with diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia has continued to increase over the last 6 years. Four previous studies in U.S have found that higher DD scores were associated with worse psychological outcomes, lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and increased risk of T2...
