Peer support groups are groups of people who share something in common and use their experiences to help each other. As the pandemic persists and health care teams are adjusting to the changing circumstances, facilitating access to peer support groups that can hold meetings via a digital platform can provide a unique source of additional help for diabetes self‐management and mental wellbeing.
