First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether joining a peer support group helps people with diabetes better follow their medication plan, take care of themselves, and understand their condition. 120 adults with diabetes were split into two groups: one that joined a peer support group and one that continued their usual care. Researchers measured changes in medication adherence, self-care habits, and diabetes knowledge using questionnaires and pill counts.
