Background: Despite prevention efforts, type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase in incidence among First Nations children and is associated with early and aggressive complications. We aimed to determine the experiences of adolescents living with type 2 diabetes and the barriers to living well with type 2 diabetes that adolescents perceived.
Methods: We recruited adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus from the pediatric diabetes clinic in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to participate in a day-long facilitated focus group discussion.
