“…In the social sciences literature on diabetes, scholars often either disclose that they are affected by diabetes themselves (Hess 2017), care for someone with diabetes (Kingod 2018; Mialet 2022), or they do not disclose this information (Kaziunas et al 2017; Wiedemann 2019). In this article, I explicitly focus on the fact that I do not share the illness-related experience-background and the explicit personal political aim with the people I study.…”

In this article, I reflect on my empirical engagement in the global (digital) health movement #WeAreNotWaiting in the context of Type 1 Diabetes. I want to take my relationships and interactions in this community as a starting point to discuss the multifacetedness of doing ethnographic research in health-political activist communities while not being affected by the health conditions the research participants are affected by and not sharing their explicit personal-political aim. Building on Donna Haraway’s conceptualization of situated knowledge and Kim TallBear’s notion of ethics of accountability, I empirically retrace three accounts of disclosing otherness in my empirical engagement that were generative for my understanding of the movement. I suggest that the moments where one needs to explain oneself, where one is met with skepticism, or experiences tensions, might be uncomfortable and challenging but can be generative. To engage with them can contribute to the accountability of the ethnographer.
