Abstract
Purpose: Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) frequently co-occurs in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may lead to worse T2DM outcomes, yet it remains undertreated. Studies suggest health care providers often assign OA a lower priority relative to other chronic conditions like T2DM, but there is no published literature on barriers and facilitators to OA care from the perspectives of persons living with T2DM. With view to developing an intervention to improve both diagnosis and treatment of knee OA in persons with T2DM, we sought to understand the perceived barriers and enablers to the behaviour of seeking and engaging in knee OA care in persons with T2DM.
