Description
Misk Al Zahidy and co-authors validated a questionnaire on the burden of digital care in diabetes in 2025. People with diabetes face a heavy load of daily health tasks. Many now also use digital tools such as glucose monitors, yet no patient-reported measure captured that digital load.
The new measure has twenty-five items, each scored from none to maximum burden. Three hundred adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes completed it. Scores were steady and the items hung together well. As expected, people with type 1 diabetes reported higher burden than those with type 2. Scores also linked in expected ways to treatment complexity, tool use, social risk, and comfort with digital tools.
