The Role and Effectiveness of Telephone Peer Coaching for Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

ConclusionsThis pilot found that a pragmatic low-cost telephone peer-coaching intervention assisted patients with type 2 diabetes to better self-manage their diabetes. Future replication and randomized trials are needed to validate these preliminary findings. Involving volunteer peers in the spectrum of diabetes care is a cost-effective way of providing additional support and continuity of care.
