    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to establish a foundation for participatory design between Information Technology (IT) professionals and people with chronic diseases resulting in IT-supported compensation in daily life. The paper presents the methods applied and results from a qualitative study to understand everyday life with diabetes. The participants are 8 families with one or more diabetic member. Our analysis outlines perspectives, activities, locations and information related to daily life with diabetes. On the basis of the analysis a number of artifacts are designed and tested in a living lab environment in Skagen, Denmark. It is concluded that participatory design and the use of the living lab concept yielded a richness of data adequate for iterative design cycles.
