Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, status version (DTSQs), was used to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with diabetes treatment interventions and developed and validated by Clare Bradley. This questionnaire is well-established for use in diabetes research [The DTSQs consists of three areas with a total of eight questions. The first area includes six questions covering aspects of treatment satisfaction, such as ‘satisfaction with current treatment,‘ ‘flexibility,‘ ‘convenience,‘ ‘understanding of diabetes,‘ ‘recommend treatment to others,‘ and ‘willingness to continue.‘ These questions are rated on a 7-point scale from ‘very dissatisfied’ to ‘very satisfied,‘ with a maximum score of 36, indicating higher treatment satisfaction. The second and third areas consist of single questions each, related to experiences of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in the weeks leading up to the assessment. Each question is rated on a 7-point scale from 0 to 6 [In summary, the DTSQs provides insights into treatment satisfaction, hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia experienced by patients in diabetes research studies.
