SECONDARY, DIABETES
We implemented a two-year prospective randomized controlled community-based trial in Conkal, a Mayan community from Yucatan, Mexico. The intervention consisted of receiving either a culturally sensitive peer support on top of a diabetes self-management education group (PLG); or a diabetes self-management education group only (EOG; control group). The primary outcome was changes in glycated hemoglobin, while secondary outcomes encompassed changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, and diabetes self-care practices. Data collection was performed at baseline and every four months during the study period.
