Background: This study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of Type 2 diabetes on the quality of life of 100 patients in the Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology at the Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar, Pakistan. The patients’ demographic information, medical history and associated comorbidities, and quality of life were collected and recorded. The quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) tool. The results showed that Type 2 diabetes had a significant negative impact on the physical, psychological, and social domains of the patients’ quality of life. There were significant differences between males and females in terms of physical health, psychological health, and social relationships. In addition, elderly patients reported lower scores on general health and physical activities than younger participants. These results demonstrate that Type 2 diabetes has a long-term negative effect on the quality of life of those affected and should be taken into consideration when developing treatment and prevention strategies. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of Type 2 diabetes on the quality of life of 100 patients in the Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology at the Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar, Pakistan.
