Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States (1). Furthermore, diabetes prevalence, diabetes-related hospital admissions and re-admissions, and risk factors are disproportionately higher in racial and ethnic minorities, indicating the need to focus efforts on reducing these disparities while also improving outcomes for all (2–4). Diabetes care and management vary significantly by race/ethnicity and insurance status and are less likely to be optimal in certain minority groups and the uninsured (5,6).Because most resources and barriers to diabetes management are present within the broader context in which patients carry out their daily lives, the ability to support self-management from within health care delivery systems is limited. Conversely, the capacity for health care systems to partner with community-based programs to manage diabetes is almost limitless. For example, an expert synthesis of strategies to reduce diabetes disparities concluded that community-based efforts and health information technology are the “new frontier” for eliminating diabetes disparities (7). Health care is shifting from volume to value, from treatment to prevention, from patients to populations, and from discrete clinical encounters to whole-person care. In this new model, collaborative partnerships to promote health and well-being within communities are increasingly relevant.Evidence suggests that chronic disease self-management support provided in the community setting improves outcomes in patients with complex chronic conditions (8–10). Previous studies on peer-led support have shown improvements in participant self-care (i.e., nutrition, physical activity, and glucose monitoring), psychosocial outcomes (i.e., quality of life, self-efficacy, and depression), and treatment and appointment engagement (8,11). Positive social support has been shown to influence diabetes self-management practices such as eating a healthy diet, exercising, and monitoring blood glucose (8).Peer-led diabetes social support in a community setting is gaining traction among people with diabetes (12).
