Type 2 diabetes (T2D) impacts adolescents living in challenging socioeconomic conditions disproportionately. However, impacts of T2D on quality of life (QOL) in this context are unknown.

Relationships between glycemic stability, early complications and treatments of T2D and QOL were also examined.
