Summary
This completed study tested a 24-month program that combined face-to-face counseling with digital tools to help families prevent and manage type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Over 1,200 adults and their children from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Spain took part. The program encouraged healthier lifestyles as a family, using mobile apps for self-monitoring and support. Researchers measured changes in blood sugar and blood pressure to see if the program worked better than standard care.
