The data was gathered by semi-structured interviews as well as field notes and memos. Data analysis was done concurrently with data collection in four levels, including data analysis for concept and contex, bringing the process into the analysis, and integration of categories according to Corbin and Struss (2008). Core category appeared at the end of integrated categories.

Results: "The family with diabetes in the child's diabetes orbit" as a core category contains the process of managing children with diabetes within the family, which included three main subcategories, including "entering into the diabetes orbit", "movement into the diabetes orbit", and "living into the diabetes orbit".
