Abstract

This work-in-progress reports preliminary results of an interview study (n=5) with low SES, rural patients with type 2 diabetes. The paper presents 3 themes and associated design suggestions relating to the high-prevalence of co-morbidities, the importance of external support, and the different stages a patient may be in with respect to making lifestyle changes.
