Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) accounts for a small percentage of diabetes cases but affects millions worldwide. In addition to glycemic control, psychological and social factors influence T1D management, yet understanding of their combined effect on overall health and quality of life (QoL) is limited. Objective: To evaluate the combined impact of physiological, psychological 76.8% male) had mean age at diagnosis 18.32±1.46 years. Most (68.29%) reported anxious related to insulin use or fear of hypoglycemia. The average QoL score was 67.25±12.88. Participants with low socioeconomic conditions, inadequate dietary practices, low physical activity, or diabetes complications had significantly lower QoL. Those with good glycemic control (HbA1c ?7%) had better QoL than those with poor control. Conclusion: Individuals with T1D face intertwined physiological, psychological, and social challenges. A holistic approach addressing glycemic control, psycological health, and social support may improve QoL and outcomes for people with T1D.
