Abstract
Background: Diabetes is a chronic illness which involves everyday self-
management of a physician-recommended diet, exercise, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), and medication. Research suggests that there are several facilitators and barriers when attempting to adhere to this regimen. Therefore,
using a qualitative methodology, the current doctoral work aimed to explore South
Indian patients', their primary caregivers', and physicians' experiences and
perspectives of Type II diabetes self-management in order to understand what
helps and does not help in adherence.
