What are the perspectives of adults aged 18-40 living with type 2 diabetes in urban settings towards barriers and opportunities for better health and well-being: a mixed-methods study.

Adults under 40 with type 2 diabetes are not a homogeneous group, but fall into five identifiable subgroups. They also experience issues specific to this age group that make it particularly difficult for them to focus on their own health. More tailored support could help them to make the necessary lifestyle changes and manage their type 2 diabetes better.
