Emphasis was placed on the relationship between subjective wellbeing and the self-management of diabetes which is influenced by the concepts  coping, health literacy, and social support.  By gaining a better understanding of how to reduce the risk of short-term and long-term complications from the experiences of people diagnosed with diabetes, negative consequences for the individuals as well as the costs of health care services 
may be reduced. This is a qualitative study  and data was  collected through the method of in-depth interviews with 16 participants throughout the Netherlands of which nine are diagnosed with T2DM, two  are diagnosed with T1DM, and  five  are significant others.
