  1. QoL quality of life, PCS Physical component summary, MCS Mental Component Summary, EQ-5D EuroQol 5 Dimension. The QoL scores of the presence or absence of specific sleep symptoms were compared by multivariable analysis adjusting for age, sex, marital status, level of education, charlson comorbidity index, smoking status, alcohol use, BMI category, taking steps to lose weight, duration of diabetes, HbA1c level, use of injectable medications and experience of hypoglycemia. We selected specific sleep symptoms of waking up to go to the bathroom, daytime sleepiness and waking up too early (such as before the alarm clock) for multivariable analysis, because prevalence rates of these symptoms were over 20%
