Abstract

As part of efforts to implement measures that could be taken to improve current delivery of care and practice, many have tried to identify reasons for non-concordance and non-adherence to treatment regimens in adolescents with diabetes (Coates and Boore; 1998; Kyngas, 1999; Graue et al, 2005). This study, however, aimed to gain insight into living with diabetes from a phenomenological perspective - that is, describing the 'phenomenon (in this case, diabetes) as it is experienced.
