Three focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted on Zoom with 22 Chinese participants with self\u2010reported type 2 diabetes living in the UK. The participants ranged from 24 years to 85 years (mean age\u2009=\u200966 years, SD\u2009=\u200917.1). A purposive sample was recruited through study adverts in Chinese community centres and via snowball sampling.

(1) Key barriers to healthy eating were time constraints and convenience, cultural expectations and lack of nutritional knowledge. (2) Facilitators for healthy eating included having a support network, health education and modifying eating habits. (3) Barriers to physical activity included low importance of exercise, work and family commitments and environmental constraints. (4) Facilitators for physical activity were community\u2010based exercise, culturally appropriate exercise such as Tai Chi, and benefits to mental health. It was found that dietary changes were perceived as important in diabetes management; however, physical activity was seen as less important when considering diabetes management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Diabetes self\u2010management among UK Chinese adults is shaped by collectivist family structures, culturally embedded food practices, and barriers within healthcare provision. Interventions should move beyond individualised behaviour change models and incorporate family\u2010inclusive education, bilingual resources, and community\u2010embedded physical activity programmes. Culturally appropriate diabetes services may enhance engagement and support self\u2010management within this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/jdr\/8119786","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,3]],"date-time":"2026-04-03T16:47:10Z","timestamp":1775234830000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["\u2018If You Cut Me, I\u2019d Probably Bleed Coca\u2010Cola\u2019: A Qualitative Exploration of Barriers and Facilitators to Type 2 Diabetes Management Among Chinese Adults in the UK"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7508-6115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tarnjit","family":"Sehmbi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7852-5806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ran","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8234-7037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raju","family":"Sapkota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2377-8387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shahina","family":"Pardhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms22157797"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20080020"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.xkme.2021.04.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5001\/omj.2012.68"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_2","volume-title":"Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice","author":"Saeedi P.","year":"2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2021.109119"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc13-2966"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.24.8.1377"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_2","unstructured":"Office for National Statistics 2021 England and Wales: Religion Census https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc10-2350"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.167.21.2310"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1056-8727(02)00190-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2020-102261"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)30383-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2013.11.033"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.59448\/jah.v3i2.36"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2010.11.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13167-023-00314-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_2","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Diabetes Mellitus: Impact on Bone, Dental and Musculoskeletal Health","author":"Reddy S.
