        The diabetes-specific quality-of-life scale (DSQOLS) addresses accurately the differences between various forms of therapy in diabetes mellitus (DM) 1 and investigates the level of patient satisfaction with their current treatment in relation to their individual goals. The aim of this work is to adapt the DSQOLS to the population from Argentine. The 64-item questionnaire was administered online. The 223 people took part voluntarily (75.3% were female), ranging between 18 and 85 years of age, giving their informed consent. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the internal structure of the questionnaire. Indexes of Cronbach's alpha were also obtained, and the scales scores were compared in relation to gender, use of insulin pump, physical activity, and participation in support groups. The results showed that the model fits properly to the data. The reliability of the scales was satisfactory. The DSQOLS is a reliable and valid measure of specific health-related quality-of-life in people with DM1. It allows to distinguish between patients with different treatment regimens as well as to detect social inequalities. It can also be helpful to identify motivational deficits and to adapt strategies of individual treatments.
        El DSQOLS (Diabetes Especific Quality of Life Scale) aborda con precisión las diferencias entre diversas formas de terapia en diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) e investiga el nivel de satisfacción de los pacientes con su tratamiento actual en relación con sus objetivos individuales. El objetivo de este trabajo es adaptar la escala DSQOLS a la población argentina. Los 64 ítems del instrumento fueron administrados en forma online. Participaron en forma voluntaria 223 personas (75.3% fueron mujeres) de 18 a 85 años, que dieron su consentimiento informado. Para evaluar la estructura interna del cuestionario se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC). También se obtuvieron los índices de a de Cronbach y se compararon las puntuaciones de las escalas en relación con el género, el empleo de infusor de insulina, el grado de actividad física y la participación (sí/no) en grupos de apoyo. Los resultados indicaron que el modelo ajustaba adecuadamente a los datos. La fiabilidad de las escalas fue satisfactoria. El DSQOLS es una medida fiable y válida de CVRS específica de las personas con DM1. Permite distinguir entre pacientes con diferentes regímenes de tratamiento, así como también detectar desigualdades sociales. Puede ser útil también para identificar déficits motivacionales y adaptar estrategias de tratamiento individuales.
