Abstract

This study provides a qualitative analysis of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nutritional and physical activity self-management of adults with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). We conducted semi-structured interviews with 21 adults with T2D living in the United States, and recorded their experiences maintaining and/or modifying their self-management behaviors as they faced new challenges presented by the pandemic and social distancing (e.g., working from home, lack of access to gyms, online grocery shopping). Interview transcripts were coded using concepts based on the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) framework. A thematic analysis was then performed to identify common challenges experienced by our participants, and common adjustments they made in an attempt to maintain healthy self-management behaviors. Drivers of behavior were also captured using the COM-B model framework. Based on these results, we propose categories of behavioral interventions and policy options to support self-management activities by Type 2 diabetic adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.
