The prevalence of diabetes distress in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors' conclusion
More than half of T2DM patients in China may suffer from DD, which is not conducive to the self-management of diabetes patients. The burden on the healthcare system and the burden of disease on individual patients may increase as a result. Medical staff should pay attention to the monitoring and management of the mental health status of patients with T2DM.
