The results of this study confirm the validity of the self-determination theory in diabetes self-management. They also imply that pathways towards constructing everyday experiences of self-directedness in participants lead through self-acceptance, supporting family relationships and a doctor-patient relationship characterised by partnership. The tentative empirical model of pathways towards patients' experience of self-directedness can serve as a framework for future research, patient-centred clinical practice, and education.
