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. The objective of this study was to evaluate QOL, and identify its biological, psychological, and social determinants amongst adolescents living with and without T2D from similar sociodemographic backgrounds. Relationships between glycemic stability, early complications and treatments of T2D and QOL were also examined.
