Summary
This study tests whether a 6-week self-management program, done with a caregiver's help, can improve diabetes control and thinking skills in adults aged 55+ who have both diabetes and mild cognitive impairment. About 309 participants will attend weekly group sessions and provide feedback. The goal is to see if this approach works in real-world settings.

What this could lead to
