Brief Summary
This is a pre-and-post study with a study duration of one year involving 7 diabetes centres in Hong Kong. A group of motivated patients with type 2 diabetes will be trained as peer supporters in two training workshops. Patients who may benefit from peer support program will be recruited as peers. In the one year study period, peer supporters are required to have 2 face-to-face interviews and 12 phone calls. Clinical parameters and psycho-behavioral parameters of both peer supporters and peers will be evaluated at the baseline and at the end of the study.
