About

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the time spent at the home of patients has increased because of national quarantine policies and patients' fear of getting sick. For this reason, in this ongoing process, patients have been unable to go to work regularly due to their chronic diseases (being on administrative leave) and their fear of going out. These reasons have prevented being physically active. The aim of the study is to evaluate the physical activity level, quality of life, glucose control, anxiety, depression, fear of hypoglycemia and loneliness perceptions of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus during the COVID-19 pandemic period and compared with healthy controls.
