Research Article: Lessons learned from a peer-supported diabetes education program in two dissimilar Mayan communities

Date Published: 2024-01-31

Abstract:
Background: A steady rise in type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Mexico over the last 30 years has led to 11.5 million Mexicans being affected by this condition. There is an urgent need to develop interventions to prevent complications of T2D. Diabetes self-management education is the cornerstone of promoting self-care. Among all educational strategies, peer support has shown to be an effective method to encourage ongoing self-management. However, customization of interventions for distinct communities is imperative, as failure to do so can hinder the intervention’s effectiveness.
