Abstract: Scope and Method of Study: Through a series of interviews guided by the tenets of grounded theory, this study explored the community's perspectives regarding the delivery process of diabetes care and education. For the sake of this project, community referred to a collective of individuals receiving and providing services. As each individual has a role in directing the impact of the delivery and reception of care, each interviewee was viewed as a stakeholder in the care process. Investigating this collective of perspectives on the delivery process of diabetes care and education provided an opportunity to gain an insider's point of view. Through content analysis, themes were developed and reported along with associative results in an effort to investigate existing alliances between parties engaged in the handling and management of diabetes, and to uncover potential for developing new alliances.
