Σύνοψη	The Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) is a 17-item self-report measure that quantifies emotional and psychosocial distress specifically related to living with and managing diabetes. Developed by Polonsky and colleagues in 2005, the DDS captures diabetes-specific worries (e.g., regimen burden, fear of complications, social stigma, lack of support) that are distinct from generalized depression or anxiety, making it essential for identifying and addressing the emotional obstacles to optimal diabetes self-management.	The Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale (DASES) is an 8-item self-report measure that assesses a patient's confidence in their ability to manage key diabetes self-care tasks: medication adherence, glucose monitoring, diet management, exercise, and coping with symptoms or complications. Developed by Lorig and colleagues based on social-cognitive theory, the DASES is grounded in Bandura's self-efficacy framework and demonstrates strong predictive validity for glycemic control, treatment adherence, and quality of life outcomes.
