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.
