3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I thank the eleven women and their families who participated in this study. I am grateful for their open, genuine communication with me so soon after receiving a diabetes diagnosis. Each shared their thoughts, feelings, and experiences during a very intimate time of life. These women gave me their time, their stories and their support as we built friendships. I am deeply grateful for being allowed to research alongside them for twelve months. I was very fortunate to be offered The University of Newcastle Postgraduate Research Scholarship (UNUPRS) and I was grateful to receive a University of Newcastle Postgraduate Research Scholarship External (UNRSE) for international students. I understand that it is unusual to be offered a UNRSE scholarship by the School of Nursing and Midwifery. In fact, I was the first recipient to receive this award. I thank the School of Nursing for their confidence in my abilities. I also thank Professor Koch contributing an additional semester of funding cost from her research monies. This additional funding allowed me to complete this PhD thesis by March Thank you to Professors Tina Koch and Isabel Higgins whose guidance and supervision through the study have been exceptional. They have challenged me to look in different directions, given constructive critique, ongoing support and praise. Their patience and trust in my capabilities kept me working hard. I also wish to acknowledge Nina Virago for encouraging me during this study and Marg Tolliday for her editing and proof reading. Lastly, I give loving acknowledgement to my partner Mohammad. I thank him for his patience in enduring the many days, evenings and weekends when this study was given priority. I would like to acknowledge my family in Iran as I could not visit them for three years while living and studying in Australia. However, they understood and supported me with their kind messages and telephone calls. Their encouragement helped to sustain me through the more difficult periods of researching and writing. ii

4 DEDICATION The Address The rider asked in the twilight "Where is the friend's house?" Heaven paused The passer-by bestowed the flood of light on his lips to the darkness of sands, and pointed to a poplar and said: "Near the tree, Is a garden-line greener than God's dream Where love is bluer than the feathers of honesty. Walk to the end of the lane, which emerges from behind the adolescence, then turn towards the flower of solitude, two steps to the flower, stay by the eternal mythological fountain of earth, where a transparent fear will visit you, in the flowing intimacy of the space you will hear a rustling sound, you will see a child, Who has ascended a tall plane tree to pick up chicks from the nest of light, ask him: Where is the friend's house?" Sohrab Sepehri Hasht Ketab (Eight Books), 1976, p. 23. I dedicate this dissertation to my mother, Mehri, who patiently encouraged me to fulfil this study. iii

17 ABSTRACT The first line of treatment for people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes is a change in diet (low fat, low carbohydrates, high fibre), and an increase in exercise to promote the uptake and utilisation of carbohydrates. If the blood glucose level is not stabilised by a change in diet and exercise, then hypoglycaemic tablets may be prescribed. In many cases insulin injections may be required if blood glucose levels cannot be controlled by diet and oral medication. People receiving a diagnosis of diabetes must absorb complex information and adopt a new life style almost immediately. The purpose of this study was to explore with women, and their family members, the ways in which the women learned to live with Type 2 Diabetes. My aim was to understand what happened to the women during their first year following a diagnosis of diabetes and how it impacted on them and their family members. Using a participatory action research (PAR) methodology I also wanted to explore with them, the practical ways in which they transitioned at this time. In this inquiry I asked eleven women recently diagnosed with diabetes what it was like for them in their first year since diagnosis. In this first year I journeyed alongside the women as they and their families learned to take the consequences of this chronic condition into their lives. The strength of this participatory action research (PAR) methodology was that I asked women to tell their own stories about learning to live with diabetes and I was able to walk alongside them for twelve months. In addition, I then brought family members into the conversation and they were able to share the impact their partner, mother, friend or spouse being newly diagnosed with diabetes had on their daily lives. My thesis was that older women newly diagnosed with diabetes learn to take this condition into their lives when they were ready to receive information. The quality of support they received from family, friends and health care professionals and their motivation and understanding impacted on the changes in their lives. The women s learning process in this PAR group made a theoretical contribution to our understanding of group dynamics. My part in furthering transition theory is my main theoretical contribution. xvi
