Experiences of diabetes self‐management: a focus group study among Australians with type 2 diabetes

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Findings reveal a number of unmet information and support needs for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In particular, it is important for healthcare professionals and family members to recognise the significant emotional burden that diabetes imposes, and the type and quantity of information individuals with diabetes prefer. It is also important to consider levels of health literacy in the community when developing diabetes-related information or programmes.
