Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led to the implementation of home quarantine in many countries to prevent the spread of the virus. Since people with diabetes had to stay in their homes, mood and psychological changes related to isolation may occur. Objectives: To evaluate the psychological impact of quarantine through the determination of anxiety and stress degrees, in adults with T1D and T2D. To assess the association of the questionaries scores obtained with other independent covariates. Material and Methods: Multi-center, cross-sectional observational study. Data collection through online survey, from April 1st to May 3rd, 2020. The degree of stress was evaluated by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the degree of anxiety by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics and hypothesis confrontation tests, multiple linear regression, chi2 and Spearman's correlation coefficient. Any value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant (SS).
