Abstract
This paper offers a preliminary analysis of temporality in the lives of diabetics. It is argued that time unites the various aspects of diabetic experience, including the disease itself, and the social, emotional, institutional, and technological arenas of that experience. A depiction of diabetic experience is rendered by focusing on family life, time in the individuals' sense of being, and biographical time. It is concluded that diabetes transforms time for the person and for patterns ofgroup life.
