Could group doctor visits help teens manage diabetes?

This study looked at whether shared medical appointments—where teens with type 2 diabetes meet together with their care team—are a good way to deliver care. Researchers designed four group activities focused on nutrition, exercise, stress, and peer support, and planned how to run these clinics. Fifty-three teens and their caregivers took part, attending quarterly visits and completing surveys. The goal was to see if this team-based approach is acceptable and practical, not to test a treatment.
