Abstract
Narrative approaches to diabetes research are emerging, revealing the ordinary experiences of those with diabetes. This presentation suggests three ways these approaches contribute a meaningful understanding of the diabetes experience: 1) narratives unveil the everyday experiences of self-management, 2) narratives unveil the inner worlds of those with diabetes, and 3) narratives unveil the social worlds of those with diabetes. Implications for transforming health education are discussed.
