Summary
This study tested whether a peer support program could help people with diabetes better control their blood sugar and reduce their healthcare costs. One hundred adults with diabetes from a hospital in Ethiopia took part. The program involved regular group meetings with other patients to share tips and encouragement. The main goal was to see if this approach improved blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1c) and lowered the financial burden of managing the disease.
