      <Abstract>This qualitative study investigates the risk factors for diabetes self-care management among patients with type 2 diabetes. The study delves into the risk factors that hinder individuals from effectively managing their self-care for diabetes. It also investigates the psychosocial protective factors at the individual, family, and organizational levels associated with improved diabetes self-care management. In-depth interviews were carried out on a sample of 18 adults with type 2 diabetes (9 men, 9 women), aged 40-60 years to gain valuable insights into the experiences of individuals living with type 2 diabetes. Thematic analysis of the interview data reveals several risk factors that had a negative impact on self-care management of type 2 diabetes. The risk factors include risky personal factors, lack of self-regulation, positive emotion as an obstacle, negative emotion as a barrier, challenges in the family, obstacles from the social environment, work-related hurdles, physical difficulties, challenges during travel, and limitations of structural support. Understanding the interplay of risk factors in type 2 diabetes self-care is crucial for tailoring effective treatments and support programs.</Abstract>
