To capture the missing voice, I examined Koch and Kralik’s chronic illness research programmes who researched alongside women and men living with long-term conditions mainly in Australia. I was interested in PAR and their application of that approach to those with long-term conditions as discussed in Chapter 1. In addition to these sources, I explored grey literature including Government publications on diabetes and consulted with experts in the field regarding action research who attended the ALARA (Action Research Congress) in Melbourne in September 2010. Other sources accessed included Diabetes UK and internet search engines including Google Advanced Scholar. Following analysis of the primary data, additional searches were undertaken to help contextualise the emerging findings. I also searched the reference lists at the back of journals and reviewed the content of the diabetes journals such as Diabetes Care, The Diabetes Educator and Patient Education and Counselling to obtain relevant research articles for the inquiry.
