Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is increasing globally and particularly affects vulnerable groups in society, such as migrants. Research shows that type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for severe illness when infected with COVID-19. Diabetes-related complications can be prevented with good glycaemic control. In addition, good glycaemic control has been shown to be an important cornerstone for preventing severe illness in individuals infected with COVID-19. In order to maintain good glycaemic control, self-care is needed. The purpose of this article is to describe self-care maintenance and possible changes in self-care maintenance and to explore factors related to unchanged self-care maintenance in migrant patients with type 2 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second aim is to describe well-being, social support, and the need for support from healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic in migrant patients with type 2 diabetes.Design/Method: A triangulation design with cross-sectional data collection was used.Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and interpreted together in a triangulation design. Patients were selected by a diabetes nurse from a computer system at a health center in south-eastern Sweden and invited to participate in the study.A questionnaire was translated into the languages most commonly used at the clinic and sent out to 332 migrant patients who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and treated in primary care. This questionnaire assessed self-care maintenance for diabetes (questions inspired by the Self-Care of Diabetes Inventory), with questions added to every item to assess changes during the pandemic. When changes occurred, we asked the participants to elaborate. Open-ended questions asked the participants how they would like to receive information when there are changes in their healthcare. Descriptive statistical analyses were used for the quantitative data and qualitative data was analyzed using a directed approach to content analysis. Results:In total, 79 participants answered the questionnaire (mean age 69 ± 11, 51% male, 47% born in the Middle East). Of these, 76% stated a change in self-care. More than half (58%) stated changes in maintaining an active lifestyle, 40% had changed their physical exercise, and 38% had changed their behavior to avoid getting sick.
