Diabetes-Related Stigma and its Influence on Social Networks, Social Support, and HbA1c in Ghana.

Conclusions: Individuals with T2DM who report high self-stigma may have lower social support, which can reduce their capacity for disease management. Additionally, larger social networks may be beneficial for individuals with T2DM in countries like Ghana, and interventions that expand network resources may facilitate diabetes control.
