Could a buddy system help people manage diabetes?

NCT ID NCT05587348

Summary

This study tested ways to get more people with type 2 diabetes to attend helpful education classes. Researchers first tried sending reminder alerts to doctors to refer patients. Then, they tested if connecting patients with a peer who also has diabetes made them more likely to attend the classes. The goal was to find better methods to help people learn to manage their diabetes long-term.
