Previous research provided children with few opportunities to say what they feel about 'being diabetic'. A phenomenological approach is helpful in undertaking research with children. Children are able to express their feelings about being diabetic. The experiences of children aged 7-12 years who have diabetes can be clustered into six themes--finding out, daily discipline, being normal, good things, bad things and support. Findings of the study are discussed, identifying some implications for practice.
