Diabetes at Work is a qualitative grounded-theory pilot study designed to examine the factors impacting older adults' experience managing diabetes in the workplace and maintaining gainful employment. Six working adults, 55 years and older, with Type 2 diabetes were interviewed from a symbolic interactionist perspective using grounded-theory methodology. Categories that arose from this study included minimalization, fearing the future, and taking up diabetes self-management at work. The results provide insight for occupational health nurses about the issues faced by older workers with chronic disease, a starting point for planning future interventions with this potentially vulnerable population.
