DIABETES
This section provides the results of the qualitative interviews with Posbindu and Prolanis program managers and FGDs with diabetes patients. Qualitative data were analyzed based on the results of interviews with eight health officers and FGDs with 24 diabetes patients (16 women and 8 men) with a mean age of 52 (range of 28–74 years). The results of the data analysis are grouped into themes and sub-themes that emerged during the analysis. The two main themes were: (1) the difficulty of reaching and engaging patients and (2) experiences of diabetes patients. We grouped the sub-themes, consisting of challenges faced by health officers and patients, within these main themes.
