Introduction. Long-term and high-quality glycemic control prevents the development of vascular complications of diabetes type 1 and improves the disease prognosis, significantly increasing life expectancy. A decrease in the quality of life (QOL) of patients with diabetes type 1 is associated with the disease complications development and carbohydrate metabolism status. In connection with the proven advantages of using indicators of time spent in glycemic ranges (TIR, TAR, TBR), the study of their associations with QOL in patients with type 1 diabetes when switching from long-acting analog insulins to insulin degludec is of particular interest.Aims. To assess the quality of life with diabetes type 1 when switching from long-acting analogs to insulin degludec in real world clinical practice.Materials and methods. The study was designed as a prospective, single-center, uncontrolled study. The recruitment of patients with diabetes type 1 who did not achieve the target values of control of carbohydrate metabolism control, who were on therapy with long-acting and ultrashort-acting analog insulin therapy, was carried out in accordance with the matching criteria. The calculation of TIR and TBR was carried out employing the data from professional continuous monitoring of glucose levels and selfmonitoring of blood glucose levels. The SF-36 Health Status Survey was used to assess QoL.Results. The study included 26 patients who met the inclusion criteria and did not have the exclusion criteria. The relationships between TIR, TBR and QoL parameters during insulin degludec therapy were revealed - with vitality, bodily pain, mental health, which demonstrates an increase in QoL mainly due to the mental component of health.Conclusions. Switching patients with type 1 diabetes from long-acting analog insulins to ultra-long-acting analog insulin on an outpatient basis provides an improvement in glycemic control due to HbA1c and TIR, TBR, and also increases QOL satisfaction, mainly due to the mental component of health.

Abstract Objective The aim of this observational study was to analyse snacking pattern and satisfaction with snacking, and to associate snacking patterns with metabolic control and quality of life in people with diabetes type 1 and 2 on insulin therapy. Methods In 2017, 390 people with diabetes were interviewed in a university outpatient department: 132 diabetes type 1 (56.1y, diabetes duration 24.2y, HbA1c 7.0%), 89 diabetes type 2/biphasic insulin (72.8y, diabetes duration 22.0y, HbA1c 7.1%) and 169 diabetes type 2/prandial insulin (66.7y, diabetes duration 20.5y, HbA1c 7.0%). Standardised questionnaires were used to assess eating patterns, satisfaction with snacking, treatment satisfaction and quality of life. Results The far majority snacked regardless of diabetes type and type of insulin therapy (70.5% type 1, 80.9% type 2/biphasic insulin, 74.6% type 2/prandial insulin) and liked to do so or did not mind (type 1 diabetes 79.5%, type 2 diabetes/biphasic insulin 84.8%, type 2 diabetes/prandial insulin 83.5%). Snacking because of recommendations of healthcare professionals was rare (10.8% type 1 diabetes, 8.2% type 2 diabetes/biphasic insulin, 9.4% type 2 diabetes/prandial insulin). Snacking and not snacking participants did not differ in respect to HbA1c, quality of life or treatment satisfaction. Conclusions Snacking seems to be a common habit in individuals with diabetes and most of them like to snack. Snacking is not associated with better or worse metabolic control or quality of life. The decision to snack or not to snack can be left to the individual and integrated into the therapy without danger for the glycaemic control.

COVID-19 (Corona-Virus Disease 2019) in Italy and the measures that were adopted to contain its diffusion had a strong impact on people’s quality of life and mental health. The objective of the study was to quantify the psychological impact of the lockdown period on the general Italian population during the two weeks when the COVID-19 emergency in Italy was at its peak. The study (1556 adults) was conducted from April 6th to April 12th, 2020. A survey was developed through Google Forms in order to assess different psychological measures (Self Efficacy, Locus of Control, Social Connectedness, Sense of Virtual Community, Flourishing, Positive and Negative Affect, Life Satisfaction, and Risk Propensity). The results were then compared to reference data. Thelockdown period increased arousal mainly for negative emotions, but also for positive emotions, and quality of life seemed to be reduced. From a psychosocial point of view, while social connectedness has decreased during lockdown, probably because of isolation and social distancing, the virtual social community seemed to increase in the same period. Interestingly, we revealed how self efficacy increased during the lockdown period, and, at the same time, the Locus of control appeared as externalized, and the risk propensity as reduced. The results are discussed considering previous literature, and a coherent theoretical framework is proposed in order to refine the forecasting model for the psychological impact of the lockdown.
