Author(s) Gajavelli Naga Amulya, Dr Nanda Kishore Kannuri
Country India
Abstract Introduction: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition rooted in the pancreas deficiency of insulin production. The condition is majorly associated with juvenile population and hence impacts the overall holistic quality of life. T1DM management in India, is influenced by numerous factors. This research aims to explore these factors' impact on T1DM care by understanding the perceptions of different stakeholders involved in T1DM management.
Aims and Objectives:
1. To explore the subjective experiences and perceptions of multi-stakeholders of T1DM in India.
2. To identify the contextual factors in the management of T1DM in India and their mul-tidimensional impact.
3. To understand how individuals with T1DM in India make sense of their condition and how contextual factors shape their management strategies.
Methodology: This qualitative research involves multi-stakeholder analysis, including T1DM individuals, caregivers, healthcare providers, insurers, technology facilitators, educational organizations, certified diabetic educators, support group members, Government and Non -governmental Organizations. Data collection spans May to August 2023, within both physical and virtual support groups. Around 30 diverse participants share experiences through In-Depth Interviews lasting 1 hour each. Thematic analysis and coding reveal patterns while upholding ethical guidelines, approval, voluntary participation, informed consent, and confidentiality. No known risks exist, with potential benefits including enhanced T1DM care. Data security respects participant autonomy. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Internal Ethics Committee of Indian Institute of Public Health-Hyderabad.
Conclusion: This study highlights various factors significantly impacting T1DM management in India, including healthcare access, socio-economic challenges, insurance coverage, insulin affordability, health literacy, cultural beliefs, healthcare disparities, stigma, and government policies. Family support, social acceptance, mental health, educational and work policies, employment, nutritional challenges, relationships and dietary preferences also affect T1DM management. Thus, this study records and reports the perceptive and subjective experiences of the stakeholders as evidence to the required changes in managing T1DM in India which is a multifaceted approach, involving healthcare system improvements, policy changes, education, awareness, cultural sensitivity, and community support much more. Scaling and enhancing practices that positively impact T1DM can improve diabetes management and enhance individuals' quality of life in India.
