Background
Apart from long-term complications associated with diabetes(T2DM), the psychological impact also significantly contributes to poor outcomes in persons living with diabetes. An observational survey was undertaken to assess various physician-related factors that can help define “glycemic happiness” for persons living with T2DM.
Methods
A prospective, multicentric, cross sectional, observational survey involving 40 physicians from 40 tertiary care centers in India. Interim analysis of 12 centers is presented here. Survey (Box 1) was based on a simple questionnaire developed by an expert panel and administered by designated personnel at study centers.
Results
Of the 12 responses from physicians obtained to date, all of them feel that physician’s belief in one-self to make a difference in life of person with T2DM and satisfaction from being able to help the person with T2DM can influence glycemic happiness of person with T2DM. In addition, 10 (83.33%) and 6 (50%) agree that professional satisfaction and physical/mental exhaustion at work can affect glycemic happiness of person with T2DM respectively.

| • Do you feel happy and satisfied that you chose to be a diabetes care professional? • Do you get satisfaction from being able to help T2DM patients? • Do you feel you can make a difference in life of with T2DM patients through your work? • Do you get physically and emotionally exhausted at work? • Do you feel you are losing enthusiasm at work? • Do you feel you are in control dealing with complex problems of T2DM management? • Do you feel worn out by your job as a care provider? • Do you feel overwhelmed because Diabetic patients load seems endless? • Do you feel depressed by the traumatic stress of T2DM patients whom you try to help? • Do you feel less empathetic and connected with your colleagues and friends? |
Conclusion
Apart from good glycemic control, glycemic happiness of persons with T2DM can be influenced by physician’s belief in his role in T2DM management, professional satisfaction and ability to cope with physical and emotional professional demands.
