Popis: We investigated the association between diabetes treatment-related quality of life (QOL) and levels of self-care activities in insulin injection among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Data from 1394 patients with type 2 diabetes on insulin therapy were obtained from a diabetes registry in Japan. We used the Diabetes Therapy-Related QOL (DTR-QOL) questionnaire and relative risk regression analysis to assess the independent association of high levels of self-care activities in insulin injection and DTR-QOL scores while adjusting for possible confounders. The mean age, BMI and HbA1c level were 65.8 years, 24.8 kg/m2 and 62 mmol/mol (7.8 %), respectively. The frequency of insulin injection omission was associated with DTR-QOL scores. In the multivariable-adjusted model, the relative risks for high levels of self-care activities in insulin injection was 1.15 (95 % confidence interval, 1.05–1.26) in the highest quintile compared with those in the lowest quintile of DTR-QOL scores. Subgroup analysis confirmed this association in patients
