Sammanfattning
The differences between type I and II diabetic patients and controls were examined by proportions adjusted for age. Type II diabetic men had a lower educational level and were more often retired, unemployed or unmarried than controls. Type I diabetics assessed their social support as inadequate slightly more often than controls, though no major differences in perceived availability of social support were detected between study groups. Both diabetic groups reported a lower health- related quality of life than healthy controls.
