Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that can lead to various physical and psychological problems. One psychological issue frequently experienced by patients is diabetes distress—emotional strain arising from the demands of managing the condition—which can impact a patient's quality of life.

Purpose: To determine the relationship between diabetes distress and quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Method: A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was employed. Convenience sampling was used to select a sample from a sample of 76 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The instruments used were the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS-17) to measure diabetes distress and the WHOQOL-BREF to measure quality of life

Result: Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female (58%), aged 51–65 years (72%), had a high school education (39%), and had lived with type 2 diabetes for more than 10 years (47%). Most respondents experienced low levels of diabetes distress (86%) and reported a moderate quality of life (53%). The Spearman Rank test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.629, indicating a significant, strong, negative correlation between diabetes distress and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Conclusion: The study demonstrates that higher levels of diabetes distress are associated with a decline in the patient's quality of life. Therefore, addressing patients' psychological well-being should be a crucial component of type 2 diabetes management, alongside the control of physical health and blood glucose levels.
