Abstract: Diabetes patients deal with serious problems that might impair their quality of life. Knowing how diabetescomplications impact quality of life is essential to improving patient care and results. The quality of life andconsequences associated with diabetes are examined in this systematic study. We looked for research from2013 to 2023 using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. "Diabetes Mellitus," "DiabetesComplications," together with "Quality of Life." Included were studies that assessed adult diabetics' qualityof life and complications. Data extraction and quality assessment were done using PRISMA. In all, 7,500people with diabetes from various countries participated in 18 studies. Most studies found thatcardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy were linked toconsiderably worse QoL ratings, especially in the physical and psychological domains. The length of thesickness and comorbidities caused QoL to progressively decrease. Complications significantly lower thequality of life for diabetics. Certain treatments for these issues might improve quality of life. Pharmacistssupport patient education, treatment, and early detection
