Abstract
Abstract: Background: Diabetes is a prominent disease that affects people of all ages. Having diabetes requires extensive care from the affected patient and this is especially hard for those of younger ages. Particularly, students have a difficult time dealing with their medical condition because not only do they have to deal with responsibilities in school, but they also have to manage their medical condition. Method: This qualitative study will utilize the phenomenological research design which aims to understand the lived experiences and behavior of diabetic students, relative to the central question: ?What are the common problems of students with diabetes with regard to their stay in the State of Qatar?? Data were gathered through a twenty five semi-structured interview, and were analyzed using an inductive approach in theme development. Findings: Findings have shown the common challenges of diabetic students as they study here in Qatar and the different aspects of their life affected by their medical condition. Conclusion: The challenges and experiences that students experience is extensive as the level of acceptance of each respondent also differs. Recommendation: In order to fill in the literature gap, this paper suggests future researchers to explore deeper into other challenges of diabetic students, such as academic challenges.
