Diabeter developed the Qualimeter as a quick way of assessing the quality of life (QoL) of people with diabetes, without them having to complete one or more extensive questionnaires. Although having good glucose control is obviously a priority, information on QoL is also essential for HCPs as it will affect self-care and thus glucose control.

The Qualimeter consists of the first question of the My-Q QoL questionnaire, basically asking people with diabetes to rate their life at the moment before each visit to their HCP. The HCP will then use the result of the Qualimeter to ask solution-focused questions aimed at shared decision-making and assessing the need for additional treatment or counseling.

To assess if, and to what extent, the Qualimeter will improve the consultation visit,  baseline measurements, prior to implementing the Qualimeter, and follow-up measurements will be performed to determine how both people with diabetes and HCPs rate the consultation visits.
