N2  - Issue addressed: Although it is well known that there is a very high prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in the Torres Strait Islands and Northern Peninsula Area (NPA), little has been published on the personal perspectives and situations that the people with diabetes face in daily life, which includes managing their disease. This study provides a baseline of qualitative information so that supportive action from health services and communities can be better tailored to help people meet their needs for self-management.
