Key Words	Type 2 diabetes; Quality of life; Diabetes co morbidities; Diabetes complications; Dementia; Diabetes type 3
Core Tip	Although numerous articles and reviews are written about diabetes every year regarding epide­miology, complications, therapies, comparisons of treatments, health strategies, literature data on diabetic patient’s quality of life and how much it is actually affected by complications, comorbidities or different treat­ments are limited. The current review is focused on: (1) the way patients perceive the changes in different aspects of quality of their lives as recorded by numerous psychometric tools and scales; (2) on the similarities and differences among studies performed worldwide along with the problems and caveats in research; and (3) on aspects intriguing but demanding further research as the effect of diabetes in family life or the common metabolic pathways between diabetes and dementia (recently called also diabetes type 3).
