| description | Countries across the world, including India, are witnessing an increase in the cases of diabetes, posing public health challenges. Although diabetes is a metabolic disease, psychosocial factors are crucial in its management. Hence, the present study tried to identify the association of diabetes-related factors with life satisfaction and sleep disturbances among ageing adults living with diabetes in India. The data of adults aged 45 years and older living with diabetes (N = 8272) were extracted from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India Wave 1 (2017-18). We conducted weighted least squares regression, t-test, and descriptive analysis. The likelihood of life satisfaction reduced with insulin usage (β = −.73, 99% CI: −1.16 to −.29), special diet (β = −.92, 99% CI: −1.31 to −.54), smoking habit, involvement in physical activity, depressive symptoms, lack of involvement in social activities and with duration of diabetes. The insulin usage (β = −.25, 99% CI: −.44 to −.07), special diet (β = −.22, 99% CI: −.38 to −.06), and involvement in physical activities decreased the probability of sleep disturbances, while alcohol consumption, smoking habits, and depressive symptoms escalated the likelihood of it. The evidence from this study underlines the links between diabetes and psychosocial factors. It signifies the importance of addressing such factors to ensure better glycemic control and the well-being of people living with diabetes. |
