The aim of the study reported in this article was to explore the experiences of (1) people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their [family group] whanau, and (2) [skilled case managers] kai manaaki, community health workers and dieticians who provide care to Maori and Pacific peoples living with T2D in the community. A key objective for this research was for its findings to inform workforce development strategies that will achieve equity for Maori and Pacific peoples with T2D and other long-term conditions. Using the ['strength in combining'; Indigenous research framework] Tangata Hourua framework, a [Maori approach] Kaupapa Maori and Pacific research model, the experiences of people enrolled in Mana Tu-a mana-enhancing programme that supports people with poorly controlled T2D to 'take charge' of their condition-and their [family group] whanau were gathered, analysed and then compared with the experiences of health workers. This approach has yielded new and rich knowledge strongly supporting the view that Maori and Pacific health workers who are based in the community are best positioned to make genuine relationships with Maori and Pacific clients and their whanau.
