Brief Summary

This study is a 12-month study. There are two different groups in the study. Both groups will enter the study after the graduation from 8-hour diabetes education course taught at VGH, St. Paul's, or Richmond Hospital. The first group will receive on-going support from their peers who have diabetes and are trained specifically to help other patients with diabetes. The second group will receive the usual care.

Conditions

Peer Support; Diabetes Self-management

Study Arms (2)

PLEASED

EXPERIMENTAL

The PLEASED intervention arm will receive peer leader who is patients with diabetes that has been gone through our trainings. Also, they will receive three free health screenings (baseline, 3 months, 12 months) and monetary compensation for their time and effort.

Behavioral: Peer-led, Empowerment-based Approach to Self-management efforts in Diabetes

Wait List

NO INTERVENTION

The wait list will receive three free health screening (at baseline, 3months, 12 months) and monetary compensation for their time and effort.

Interventions

Peer-led, Empowerment-based Approach to Self-management efforts in Diabetes BEHAVIORAL

The investigators will train patients with type 2 diabetes who are well-controlled and pair them up with participants. Peer leaders will help the participants overcome their problems and teach them how to make changes by 5 step goal setting strategy. The peer leaders never give advice on any medical condition. All the medical questions will be referred to the research team.
