Poor diabetes self-management practices may lead to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which, if left untreated, can progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD). Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of ESRD for adults. Improving diabetes self-management practices is an important strategy to decrease the risk of developing CKD.

Men And Women

Background: The purpose of this study is to better understand differences in diabetes self-management, specifically needs, barriers and challenges among men and women living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: 35 participants were recruited from a diabetes education center (DEC) in Toronto, Canada. Five focus groups and nine individual interviews were conducted to explore men and women's diabetes self-management experiences.Results: The average age of participants was 57 years and just over half (51.4%) were female. Analyses revealed five themes: disclosure and identity as a person living with diabetes; self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG); diet struggles across varying contexts; utilization of diabetes resources; and social support. Women disclosed their diabetes more readily and integrated management into their daily lives, whereas men were more reluctant to tell friends and family about their diabetes and were less observant of self-management practices in social settings. Men focused on practical aspects of SMBG and experimented with various aspects of management to reduce reliance on medications whereas women focused on affective components of SMBG. Women restricted foods from their diets perceived as prohibited whereas many men moderated their intake of perceived unhealthy foods, except in social situations. Women used socially interactive resources, like education classes and support groups whereas men relied more on self-directed learning but also described wanting more guidance to help navigate the healthcare system. Finally, men and women reported wanting physician support for both affective and practical aspects of self-management.Conclusions: Our findings highlight the differences in needs and challenges of diabetes self-management among men and women, which may inform gender-sensitive diabetes, care, counseling and support.Keywords: Diabetes, Self-management, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Sex, Gender

Grounded Theory Approach

Background: There has been an unabated rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) worldwide. Although T2D is highly preventable, these trends suggest that a paradigm change is much needed in the way both clinicians and policy makers view what effective T2D strategies conventionally entail. Hence, it is becoming increasingly clear that T2D patients require more than just a pharmacological approach to their disease. Evidence indicate that culturally specific mediators can help foster better self-management practices. We intend to discover psychosocial mediators that influence and support self-management beliefs in T2D patients. Methods: We adopted the grounded theory approach to guide in-depth interviews with T2D patients and health care professionals (HCP) at a regional primary care clinic in Malaysia. Twenty-four T2D patients and 10 HCPs were recruited through purposive sampling method to examine the inner psychological narratives about how they perceive and what they believe beliefs about the disease. Two focus group discussions were also were conducted for data triangulation. Results: A functional framework for the psychosocial mediators influencing self-management beliefs in T2D patients was designed and characterized by 4 major processes: (1) health promotion, (2) personal expectations, (3) person-centered care, and (4) psychosocial support. The fulfillment of patients’ personal expectations is central to better self-management beliefs. Conclusions: Positive emotional states are important in providing a positive environment to nurture self-management practices. A person-centered consultation that focuses on empathy and cultural sensitivities has the potential to foster behavioral change required to sustain self-care practices.

Recent Immigrants

Introduction Our objective was to explore self-management practices, health services use and information-seeking for type 2 diabetes care among adult men and women from four recent immigrant communities in Toronto. Methods A structured questionnaire was adapted for the Canadian context and translated into 4 languages. A total of 184 participants with type 2 diabetes—130 recent immigrants and 54 Canadian-born—were recruited in both community and hospital settings. Results Recent immigrants were significantly less likely than the Canadian-born group to perform regular blood glucose and foot checks and significantly more likely than the Canadian-born group to be non-smokers, participate in regular physical activity and reduce dietary fat. Recent immigrants were significantly less likely than the Canadian-born group to use a specialist, alternative provider and dietician and less likely to report using dieticians, nurses and diabetes organizations as sources of diabetes-related information. Important differences were observed by sex and country of origin. Conclusion Findings suggest that diabetes prevention and management strategies for recent immigrants must address linguistic, financial, informational and systemic barriers to information and care.
