Health-related quality of life is even lower in type 2 diabetes patients when other diseases co-exist. In contrast to earlier studies, we assessed the associations between the number and type of comorbidities and health status in well-controlled type 2 diabetes patients, in whom treatment goals for HbA1c, blood pressure and cholesterol had been reached. Approximately one in five type 2 diabetes patients belongs to this group. SN - 1475-2840 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2840-11-121 DO - 10.1186/1475-2840-11-121 ID - Wermeling2012 ER -
