PedsQL Diabetes Module
The PedsQL Diabetes Module is a 28-item disease-specific instrument developed by Varni et al. in 2003 to measure quality of life in children and adolescents with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It captures the impact of diabetes management, glucose monitoring, and disease-related worry on daily functioning. The module is paired with the PedsQL Generic Core Scales, enabling both disease-specific and general health-related quality of life assessment.
