Abstract

People diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) experience difficulties making and maintaining necessary lifestyle changes. Traditional approaches to self-management focus upon an individual’s capacity to make lifestyle change and places responsibility on the individual to adopt strategies supplied by experts, without regard to the person’s social context. Further to this gender is known to impact health status with males experiencing higher rates of diabetes. Difference in morbidity and mortality rates in males are often attributed to the adoption by men of behaviours which are detrimental to their health. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of social barriers and enablers on adoption of self management practices for males with T2DM.
