“…In regards to lifestyle convenience with instrument operation, everyday life, and social and psychological aspects, we understood that this study's patients tried various methods and experiences to avoid worsening blood glucose control. This study's results were similar to Rasmussen's [16] results stating that type 1 diabetes patients devise strategies utilizing past experiences to stablizie blood glucose levels. The more long term type 1 diabetes patients' insulin treatment is, the more troublesome it becomes and the more it leads to feelings of burden and restraint [17].…”

Aim: This study investigated the lifestyle convenience of Insulin therapy for adult women patients with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Participants were type 1 diabetes adult women patients who switched from multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy to Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) therapy. We conducted semi-structured interviews with participants. To analyze, we referenced the classification table of Hamada's study comparing the usefulness of both the NovoPen® and CSII. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the research subjects. The questions focused mainly on diabetes management, instrument operation, everyday life, and social, psychological and lifestyle convenience aspects during MDI and CSII. Results: Research subjects were 4 women patients with type 1 diabetes. The average age was 35.3 ± 6.24 (SE) years old. Participants were undergoing MDI therapy; however, in the middle, they switched to CSII therapy. CSII therapy is convenient in terms of diabetes management, social and psychological. MDI therapy is convenient in terms of instrument operation and daily life. Compared to MDI therapy, CSII therapy is less convenient in terms of instrument operation and everyday life. However, since CSII therapy has more stable HbA1c and blood glucose levels compared to MDI therapy, it is more convenient in terms of social and psychological aspects and reduces those burdens. About economy CSII therapy, patients paid about 5000 yen more per month compared to MDI therapy. Conclusion: It is believed that patients prioritize therapeutic effects, and choose CSII, which is stable in psychological and social aspects, even though it is inconvenient with life.

Therefore, we focused on a positive aspect-namely, their resilience.…”

“…It also allowed for expressing gratitude and a means to reframe their personal struggles into a larger meaning. Reframing the negative aspects of diabetes into positive, self-affirming thoughts has been found to be a useful mechanism for coping, especially during the young adult transition period [26]. Through overcoming personal obstacles and illness, many of these young adults reported finding meaning and motivation to live healthier lives and help others live better as well.…”
