The internal realities of individuals with type 2 diabetes - a functional framework of self-management practices via Grounded Theory approach.
BACKGROUND:An upward trend is observed in the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in South-East Asian and Western Brake Block Pacific regions.These patterns incur a costly health burden to developing nations around the world.A clear understanding of the mechanics behind self-management practices of T2D patients might help overcome this impasse.This
