Aims/introduction: Psychosocial aspects and the quality of life (QOL) of individuals with diabetes are important for achieving glycemic control and treatment goals. Here, we describe patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and evaluate the association thereof with glycemic control.

Materials and methods: This subanalysis of a subgroup of 528 Japanese participants in the SAGE study of adults with T1D used data on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and PRO scores [Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-II (HFS-II), Problem Areas In Diabetes (PAID), Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (ITSQ), and Audit of Diabetes-Dependent QOL (ADDQoL)] and summarized the score by the predefined age groups (26-44-years: n = 208, 45-64-years: n = 217, and ≥ 65-years: n = 103). The association between PROs, achieving HbA1c < 7.0%, and individualized targets was explored using multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Results: The HFS-II and PAID scores were lower, and the ITSQ score was higher in the ≥ 65-years group than in the younger groups with a linear trend of better scores with increasing age (P for trend < 0.05). ADDQoL scores were similar across the age groups, and present QOL (ADDQoL subscale) tended to improve with age (P for trend < 0.05). Achieving HbA1c < 7.0% and individualized targets were associated with satisfaction with insulin treatment regarding glycemic control.

Conclusion: In Japanese adults with T1D, the impact on psychosocial aspects and QOL varied across age groups, with a trend of improving scores with age, potentially in relation to the less stringent glycemic control targets adopted in older individuals. Glycemic control was significantly associated with treatment satisfaction.
