Bakgrund: Diabetes mellitus typ II är en ökande folkhälsosjukdom där cirka fyra procent av Sveriges befolkning beräknas ha sjukdomen. Diabetes mellitus typ II är en kronisk sjukdom som kan leda till svåra komplikationer. Därmed är det viktigt att personer med sjukdomen får god information om egenvård för att själva kunna minska riskerna för att utveckla komplikationer. Inom diabetesegenvården är det viktigt med fysisk aktivitet, en god glukoskontroll, god fotvård samt en bra kost. En persons upplevelse är aldrig densamma som någon annan person i samma sist.

Diabetes mellitus är en folksjukdom som trots preventiva åtgärder har en stadigt ökad prevalens i hela världen, förorsakar 5 % av dödsfallen globalt varje år och som sannolikt kommer att öka mer än 50 % de nästkommande 10 åren. I Sverige likt många andra länder i Europa har invandringen lett till att vi lever i samhällen med kulturella skillnader. Egenvården vid diabetes mellitus är en viktig del av behandlingen som minskar risken för diabeteskomplikationer. Internationellt sett har forskningen mestadels fokuserat på etniska minoritetsgrupper och sjukvård utifrån skillnader mellan sjukdom och dödlighet. Forskningen tenderar att påvisa att socioekonomiska skillnader och etnicitet är viktiga faktorer som påverkar dålig hälsa.
