RATIONALE, AIMS AND ObjectiveType 2 diabetes (T2D) is an archetypical chronic condition of significant prevalence. Yet the concept of cure in the context of T2D reveals an interplay between the medical imagination and clinical realities that can shift the course of a patient's care. There are two domains in which cure is sociologically constructed: the professional domain occupied by clinicians treating people with T2D, and the lay domain occupied by T2D patients. Lay epistemologies of cure tend to be focused on modifying the experience of having T2D, while professional epistemologies tend to focus on modifying the disease through medical treatment. The objective of this study is to explore the role of the concept of cure in the context of type 2 diabetes, a model for chronic disease.© 2022 The Authors.
